I hated mine and was happy when we bought a regular bed. They were never comfortable for me and if someone sat on the bed and you were on it a wave would knock you to the floor. There were chemicals that you put in the water every so often but when we drained ours the water was black and disgusting.

Waterbeds were still a thing when I was a wee gay lad. I though they were the coolest!
However, I have a memory of my pragmatic mother saying, "They leak and are high-maintenance." Somehow that made sense to me and killed the illusion of how great I thought they were.
I do wonder if I would sleep better on one.

My cat popped a hole in our bed with his claw. It was a slow leak so we didn't realize it was leaking until one night we got into bed- of course it was winter and cold - and our clothes got soaked. Hated that bed!

I loved mine. It had a higher baffle count to reduce the wobbliness that occurred with cheaper beds. I loved crawling under the comforter in the wintertime and feeling the heated waterbed. Because of the form-fit from the mattress, I moved around a lot less while I slept. In the summer, I would turn off the thermostat and the bed would have a nice coolness to it.

In the mid 80s a coke whore friend bought a water bed. The thought was that you could maneuver a waterbed up and down row house stairs easier than a traditional queen sized box spring.
Her bed’s heating pad settled badly. It looked like some white form was trapped in the bronzy rubber.
The rubber made it feel like a hospital bed and the sheets never stayed on. It was torture passing out on the bed - not because of the waves, but because my booze sweat-covered face would get glued to the rubber.

I used to house-sit for people who had a huge, expensive watered. I actually loved sleeping on it, it was warm and thoroughly comfy, and would gently rock me if I moved. I slept better on that bed than I did at home.
However, waterbeds were expensive, too heavy for many buildings, they could leak or burst, and if the internal heaters quit working it was like sleeping on a block of very expensive ice. They went out of fashion because they were just more trouble than a regular mattress.

I don't know who you seasick queens are. Long ago back in 2000 when I still had a waterbed they were not just a giant bag of water. They were broken up into chambers to stop the waves motion. Some had an inner liner that did that. The ones I owned had a soft foam edge and looked like a regular bed not some ugly wood frame. They were very comfortable and easy to adjust stiffness. Mine even had a heater and lumbar support.

You are supposed to put a special bottle of "waterbed conditioner" in when you fill it. Everyone who has a bed should know this. It's basically prevents bacterial and algae growth. You do it one a year. it was like 12 dollars. Mine were as clear as pool water even when I skipped a year.

I loved my waterbed. It was a bit more hassle (you had to burp it to get rid of the air bubbles that would accumulate and cause noise), but it didn't create stress points and, most importantly for me, it allowed you to set and hold the perfect temperature. None of this pleasantly cool when you get in but soon gets hot from body heat thing that happens with normal mattresses. It just stayed the perfect temperature all night. I don't think I've ever slept as well since getting rid of it.

My mother's best friend owned a local chain... four or five... furniture stores called "The Waterbed Factory." Their logo was meant to look like a cock-eyed stamp on a shipping container. She gave us a GIANT waterbed that we kept in the basement rec room. My mother hated it, but it was a special treat to go down and sleep on it on a no school night. Until I got sick on it one night and didn't have the strength to roll out of it over the huge naugahyde bedframe and just puked all over it. That was the excuse to get rid of it.
The Waterbed Factory also sold those wicker chairs that hanged from the ceiling, egg chairs with radios and tape decks in them and those metal installable fireplaces that came in colors. Only lasted until 91 or so.
The 80s were a time.

Waterbeds may be laughed at now for their camp value, but back in the 70's most people could not afford them. They are considered more of a luxury for adults with a bit of sexuality tied to them. Singles and coupled who had active sex lives had them, most families did not. They evolved by the 80's and 90's away from the hard wood edge and single bag. By the 90's they looked just like a normal bed and with separate bags for each side, internal fillers there was no more waves that so many queens on here say they got sick from. Very soft, no pressure points if you slept on your side for example.
Not much different from a Sleep Number bed which is a bag filled with air instead of water. One day, people laugh at those too. "Grandpa Millennial, tell me how you slept on a balloon? Did the helium make your voice high? Did it pop with sharp objects?"

Later, my mom told me she was so relieved I didn't get the waterbed after all. Said she'd heard they were such a pain to maintain and they leaked, etc. Basically all the complaints against them mentioned here.

Oh god. My parents had a waterbed in the 70s and 80s and it was just a giant water balloon in a wood coffin. There were no chambers to stabilize it or cushy padding like a real bed on top. It was just a bag of water with a heater.
I have this extremely horrible memory of being about 7 and being sick and having to stay home from school.
For absolutely no reason that I can think of, while I was sick, my parents thought it would be a good idea to make me sleep in their room on the water bed during the day. Like it was supposed to be therapeutic and help me recover or some ridiculousness like that.
Every time I rolled over, it would create a tsunami and the entire bed would bob up and down like I was on a raft in a wave pool. And I was so sick I was already puking and my mom left a small trash can next to the bed so if iI threw up, I was supposed to throw up in the can.
I never reached the can. Not once. I spent the entire day with some horrible flu like illness, a fever so high I was hallucinating, puking all over their bed as I bobbed up and down like sailor on a piece of ship wreckage lost at sea.
It was traumatic for everyone involved.
Thank fucking god the next day they just let me sleep in my own bed in my own bedroom where I was able to lean over the side of the bed and puke in the can instead of all over myself.

The only thing worse than trying to sleep in a 1970s waterbed as a sick 7 year old was trying to get out of a 1970s waterbed as a sick 7 year old. You had to roll across it, fighting the waves the entire way, and then, when you finally reached the edge, you’d get stuck between the giant bag of water and the varnished, knotty pine coffin it was in and you couldn’t free yourself. The more you moved, the more the giant water bag of death tried to cram you between the water bag and the wooden sarcophagus it was in and you feared getting stuck completely under the bag of water, unable to breathe. An adult would have to come rescue you by grabbing one of your ankles and pulling you out like you were Luke Skywalker about to be eaten by a Sarlacc.

The world changes faster than they can except. When you are very young, you dont know the world at all, so everything is new, everything is an adventure. By middle age you kind of have it figured out, you have a lot of current knowledge, you have made and learned from mistakes, you have been around the block a bit, you probably traveled somewhat out of your home town at least. When you get a lot older, what seems like just a year ago was actually 5 years ago. Your neice who just turned 16 when you think about her is actually 34. News of wars, crime, and once in a lifetime tragic events like 9/11 or COVID or Jan 6th were not things you experienced as a kid. They seem not that far apart in the big scheme of things. Health problems start stacking up, your income has not kept up, you have lost friends and family or partners and you start to focus on all the bad things that are happening in the world and forget about the good.
If you don't check yourself and put things into perspective it's very easy to become depressed. There are ways to remain happy and not bitter but it has to be a conscious decision. Many people don't do that. They just kind of give up and complain about the world. If you are a gay man, chances are you dont have kids to pin your hopes on so there's that too. Most straight people pin their hopes on their grand kids at that point. They see it as an accomplishment even though they had little to do with it or the rest of their life was shit.
For gay men, I think the solution is to have a passion they can dive into. Could be as simple as a garden in the backyard or as adventurous as traveling the world. Those are the only ones I have met that seem happy into old age. The ones that stay home all day with nothing to do and no interest in anything except posting on forums, reliving their past failed relationships are bitter fucks.

Girls, girls, girls! You're letting vintage waterbeds tear you apart!

Waterbeds were very popular for a very brief period. Then the bubble burst and manufacturers took a bath.

The guy in R90 is a competition level swimmer. He's got the body for it. Kind of irronic when you think about it, loves water so much he loves sleeping with it.

[quote]Well, pardon us, Mr. Hipster. Did you not read the thread title? We were ASKED to reminisce about the glory days of shitty waterbeds.
Those beds like R90 with the soft edge, filler to stop any wave motion have been around for 30 years, that's not exactly hipster. The OP asked about how waterbeds used to work, not to reminisce about the shittiest experience you ever had on one.

That must be why the modern version of waterbeds remain so wildly popular today, R98.
