I had a waterbed for many years growing up. It was kind of unsettling at first, and like Charlatan mentioned, it can be a bit tricky getting in and out especially if someone else is sleeping with you.
If you have pets (unless you've taken the precaution of getting them de-clawed) you might as well forget it. Cats and dogs can do all sorts of damage if you aren't watching especially when the bed is bare like when you change the sheets and such. Not to mention the fact, (and it could just be because of where I live) it's almost impossible to find waterbed accessories locally. Wal*Mart carries the patch kits, but their stock is sporadic at best.
Arc, a friend of mine has a Tempur-pedic and it's just about the coolest thing I've ever slept on. When it comes time to replace my bed, it will probably be replaced with a tempur-pedic.
