In a previous blog, I stated that one of our most treasured household possessions was our wood burning stove. Perhaps “The” most treasured item of everything we own would be our bed. I know it’s so 80’s to have a waterbed but we’ve been married almost 20 years and have owned nothing but! This is our second waterbed and we’ve had it for about 7 years now.
It is equipped with a heater, which enables one to slide into cozy warm bliss on a frigid winter’s eve. This bed is also the perfect height, not too short, not too tall! Adorned with a fine set of Egyptian cotton sheets & a down comforter with a chenille Duvall and plenty of big fluffy pillows, the bed is the epitome of comfort! I kid you not.
The size is a California King so the boys can all pile in first thing in the morning (they love to do that). We also got a special padded liner for it that makes it less “wavy” and more firm. Add to that a set of Captain’s drawers underneath for extra clothing storage and how can one go wrong?
I figure the average person spends over 1/4 of their life in bed, why not make it an enjoyable experience?
I have often wondered about owning a water bed but have never took the plunge..We just bought a new bed room suit and my Daughter wants it maybe a water bed is something to think about any other comments from people who own one would be appreciated..Stephanie
We’ve had nothing but one in our marriage also and love it. We have a quilted mattress cover on it, 600 count cotton sheets and lots of pillows. It has very little wave and feels very much like a regular mattress. The California King size can’t be beat. It was great when the girls were little and is still great when our grandson climbs in bed with us…plenty of room for all of us. The only problem is over the holidays when all the girls are home at once and want to ALL climb in bed with us on Saturday morning and watch cartoons. We still do it; but it sure seems to shrink now that they’re all grown! *LOL*
(grin) Whew, it makes me feel better that I’m not the only one who loves my waterbed. As well, not the only parent who’s kids pile into bed. I still have a challenge with my youngest who likes to sneak in the middle of the night. He’s got some kind of built in radar that lets him know that we are finally asleep and it’s safe for him to slither beside his momma like a snake!
I had one of them kids too!!!!
