I have had a floatation bed, that was a mattress with seven watertubes inside, I was not thrilled with it. I don't even know if they still make them.
I have had a water bed, it was comfortable enough, but I hated to make it, my hands still have scars from trying to pick up those damn corners to get the sheet under there, remember, water weighs alot! Also, you have to put a mattress pad on it, plastic makes the body sweat, and don't ever forget to have the heater on, there is no sleeping on a cold waterbed, and you have to remember to put the water conditioner in, you don't want the water to get smelly or moldy, and you do have to add water to the mattress ever once in a while, and you have to make sure you put the water in the mattress evenly or you will have a lumpy waterbed, and as long as you get all the air bubbles out, you should have a perfect waterbed, nothing to it.
I kept my waterbed, I did though, get rid of the mattress. I bought a sear's ortho pedic with the pillow top, man, you talk about one hell of a mattress, I have never slept better in my life, and anytime one of my friends comes over and we go into my room to look at my new shoes or clothes, they never sit in the chair anymore, they jump up on my bed, and 80% of the time they will fall asleep, no kidding. I have had people ask me if they could come take a nap on my bed, I tell them to buy one of their own, this isn't a bed and breakfast, after all!
