Does anyone have a waterbed?

[missismac]

DH & I desperately need a new mattress after 15 years (and two of our 4 DC's!) on our current one. We are completely different sleepers & weights and I've read that a good waterbed mattress works wonders for bad backs. BUT . . . . just can't get over the 'what if it springs a leak, or 'pops' like a balloon' thing in my head. Does anyone have any experience of one? Would you recommend it?

Bumping an old thread because I'm curious.

Sorry no-one responded to you OP

Place marking as have been wondering the same..

I do! It's wonderful and does wonders for my back, we have super king and it's two separate water things so his moving doesn't affect me. It had s mattress cover and the mattress itself is really thick. No danger of it popping really. Best hing we every bought- had it 5 years now!

Does it weigh a ton?
