What do you sleep on at night? Which do you prefer? If you have gone from waterbed to regular, do you like it more or less?

Regular all the way.. Waterbeds are a pain in the ass. I had one. My big-ass dog jumped on it.... his claws went straight in and busted the damn thing when we weren't home. I get home to a room with soaked carpet, accompanied by that "wet dog smell" lol

I've slept in a waterbed for about 6 years now.

Love it.

It's a partial motion bed with a mattress pad and flannel sheets/mink blanket and memory foam pillows.

I sleep like the dead now.

Not to mention, it's heated.

Regular bed. Man, Waterbeds hurt my back and neck soo much. They're also a pain to maintain. OH yeah, 1 puncture and it's over(I experienced it); I almost drowned in my own sleep.

Our dog sleeps with us in ours, never had it punctured.

Cheap waterbeds puncture easily, you get what you pay for.

Full motion beds suck.

I agree waterbeds are a PITA, at least the older ones where it was just water in a big sack, i duno about the type ones that redz was talking about

For me it was not comfortable at all, and if you get too close to the side you fall in between the water and the frame. And getting on/off the bed sucked, you sinking in and the water moving around slows you down.

Not to mention you always have to worry about popping it.
