We have used one for years and would not go any other way. Unless you
like the "motion of the ocean" though, be sure to get a waveless, dual
mattress model. That way, one sleeper does not disturb the other. Ours
is also what is known as a soft sided, so there is no wood edge to cut
into your legs when you sit on the edge. A dual mattress gives you the
advantage of dual heaters to suite each sleepers needs.
Maintenance is very simple. Every year, stop at WalMart and get 2
bottles of Waterbed conditioner. They are 96 cents each. pour one
bottle into each side and you're good for another year.
DO NOT buy the conditioner at the waterbed store. They charge up to
15 times what WalMart charges, and it is the same stuff.

I have had a waterbed for years now. When I told one of my doctors
that I was sleeping on a water bed she told me to get rid of it. She
said she would rather see me sleeping on the floor. The problem with
waterbeds is they don't give the right kind of support. That is
according to my doctor anyhow. From what I see here that is not
everyone's experience. Personally I do have problems sleeping on a
waterbed. I fouond that it was more comfortable if I pile on several
layers of blankets to sleep on. For some reason it has made all the
difference in the world. I think that if you get a waveless, as some
have mentioned. it may have more support. Also there are waterbeds
that have regular mattress surfaces. I had one at one time, it is
called a Soma. Actually there are two kinds. One kind has just one
big water filled container with a matteress cover (soft sider) and the
soma has tubes of water in it. The nice thing about the tubes is you
can have the one side of the bed firmer then the other side. Well, I
think I have talked your ear off enough.

You can ask most mattresses to custom order a latex foam mattress for you;
unfortunately, they are very expensive.
I ordered my mattress from a company in Atlanta called The Origional Mattress
Factory. I paid around $800 for a queen size. If you buy one from a name
brand Co. like Sealy then you can expect to pay double that. I would suggest
that you look up wholesale mattresses in your city in your yellow pages. If
you can actually reach a small manufacturer, then ask them if they sell to
interior designers. Tell them that you are a designer and that you will pay
them cash. You might get lucky and get a company to sell to you at wholesale.
Wholesale from the top 5 mattress companies will be around $1600 on a queen
size set. You need to find a small company that makes their own if you want to
find a set that is reasonable.
I would highly suggest a pillow that totally eliminated my neck pain. I got
this pillow from one of my chiropractors. The pillow is out of latex foam and
it conforms to the curves of the neck. Each side of the pillow has a bulge on
the end that goes under the neck. Here is the information from my pillow tag:
Tri-core gentle support product #220
Core Products, International
Osceola, WI 54020
Most good chiropractors will carry these.
I had a waterbed in the early to mid-80's, after hearing that they
might be good for my back and legs (pain and spasticity). As it turns
out, a waterbed was the worst thing for me. I have a pronounced curve
(scoliosis), which is related to cerebral palsy and abnormal posturing.
That space in my back essentially had no place to rest, and I always
woke up stiff and sore. Some people, without the pre-existing condition
of the type I have, swear by water beds.
I got an adjustable bed with massage back in 1996 and it's great. I
hope to get a heated mattress cover as a little prezzie for myself very
soon :) Lambs wool :)
For me, a flat bed was a nightmare, with my minimal muscle tone for
pulling myself up or rolling over. In the adjustable bed, with the head
and foot elevated, I don't feel so much like a beached whale. The
massage feature, set on low, is nice as well.
Cheers!

I'm sure he does. The phrase "advanced chiropractor" and pushing latex
foam are what made me think so... Cripes, he can't even cough up new
terminology when he's faking it.

Well, he just has to have this account taken out, too. We can do

I wish. "FindhealthSites" is an AOL account too.
If he does get bounced from AOL it will not be the result of anything we do.
He forged Laura's name on a commercial post and then reported her to AOL for
spamming. Laura temporarily lost her AOL account because of him.
But once Laura sent AOL the original commercial post it was obvious what
Podhouser had done. Laura's account was reinstated and I imagine they were
quite upset with Podhouser. That little lie might cost him his account.
