    I was a kid in the 90s/early 00's, but have fond memories of water beds. My parents had several through out my life, my uncle even had one. I recall going into a matress store and losing it when i saw a twin sized water bed. I was told no of course. Nowadays i love my memory foam bed, but part of me really still wants a water bed...

    i've used waterbeds for at least 20 years now i'll be 30 this month and i've never had a problem i've tried others over the years but in the end i gotta go with what's best for my health i currently have a full motion bladder with a legacy lilly tight top cover to protect from my cats claws etc which it does beautifully in medium walnut california king size with bookcase headboard and pull finger draws underneath to make up for the storage that the bed takes up which honestly is not that much only 72x84 with the finishing touch jumbo thick black vinyl padded side rails so i don't bruise my legs or my butt getting in and out and i was able to have it in my apartment because my dr wrote a letter explaining to my landlord it's for the health benefits pain relief etc

    • @michaelsjourney87
      @michaelsjourney87 7 лет назад +30

      good for health how? well being a partial quad i have poor circulation especially in my legs and feet and the beds warmth helps that and promotes healing and muscular relaxation from spasms and in summer is cooling once the heaters off but most importantly there are no pressure points so no bed sores which could kill someone
      p.s. and playing with someone is fantastic

      My friend has a broken back, his lower vertebrae are fractured from a car accident.
      He has a water bed so that he can still walk around, a regular bed would out him in too much pain and he'd be out if commission.
      He's 50 now, still kicks my but in the sword class he teaches. :)
      But, yes, water beds are good for health.

    Soaking up the thirst of the land

    Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth to the childlike man

    My whole family had waterbeds, last year my parents finally got rid of there's after 40 years. We were all conceived on that bed and two out of four us were home deliveries on that bed. So, they were meant to last. We also have cats and are from Washington state.

  • @tyrroo
    @tyrroo 6 лет назад +3

    When I was a kid, our cat used to frequently nap on my parents' waterbed. I used to run in from the hallway and jump onto the other end of the bed, so that the resulting wave would fling her up into the air. Many lolz were had.
