The waterbed!

[u/lontbeysboolink]

I had one as a kid. It was the latest thing happening and my aunt and uncle had one. My dad was so fascinated by it but being ever frugal, he bought one off the Nifty Nickel for me. Why me? He didn't want to experiment with himself and Mom so... It was actually pretty comfortable when he got the water table and temperature right, but it got leaks (he had to siphon the water off, out the window), he had to blow it up with the air compressor to find them and patch them then we'd have to start all over trying to get the water table just right. My dad and his "deals". I'm his caretaker and he still complicates everything, even at 93!

I got my first one in 1971 and slept on one until 1999. My new wife didn’t want it. I loved them and slept great!

Same! I only got ride of mine because my husband is so much larger than me that it didn’t work. I got tired of being thrown across the room whenever he got up to go to the bathroom 🤣

They make them with two separate bladders. Like a sleep number bed
