Has anyone here ever had a waterbed?


Recently the woman painted my youngest's room and for his birthday he got a new computer desk. His old mattress was thrown out prior to the re-paint because it was now too small and worn out.

I got to talking one night with the kid and I brought up the waterbeds we had back in the 1980's and 1990's. He was very impressed and had never even heard of a waterbed before, either of my kids had heard of or seen one.

At that time my kid got it in his head he had to have a waterbed!

So I go looking for a new waterbed to find that no one sells the frames anymore!

Sure you can get the liner, mattress, heater, fill kit and chemicals online but NO ONE local sells the frames new anymore!

Seen a few people selling the old 80's and 90's styles (used), however these designs were not modern day friendly.

So I set out to build a waterbed frame and I ordered the mattress bundle on eBay. Here is how it turned out,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kid seems to be happy but now my other kid wants one and to be honest, I kind of want one too! LOL

I felt it was a pretty good job for just going off memory and the measurements of the queen sized waterbed.

Nice job. I have a soft side water bed, with has several tubes of water underneath a thin mattress pad.

I got my first one when I was 18 years old.  Had a couple different ones over the years, and used one up until about three years ago when I finally gave them up.

Not for lack of enjoying it, mind you.  I always found them great for sleeping and...'other activities', I just got tired of them being a pain in the ass.  Can't move 'em, they're always springing a leak every now and then, and God forbid if the heater ever goes to hell.  Draining and moving them sucked -- take 'em apart, move it, put it back together again.  Screw it, I'm almost 51 years old now, time to grow up (at least in the bed department).  Now, after having queen-size beds all my life, I got a twin-size normal bed, as it's just me and the cat anyway.  I never have any 'company' (dammit).
