The only info I've been able to find is from salespersons who claim
that their type of bed (water or non-water) would help me to sleep
best , and I've been unable to find any hard info on this. One
saleperson, for example, claimed that waterbeds promoted back problems
and pain, which directly contradicts the experience of someone with
back trouble who I know. Another salesperson told me that those with
joint pain rush in droves to his place of business to buy his
waterbeds. I really need some info.
Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide with this.

If you do get a waterbed, made sure it is a floation bed. Many of the new
style water beds have just a thin quilted covering of water and are
nothing like the true waterbeds of old.

My sister in law has JRA and loves her waterbed. Especially after the
surgery on her knees. I have RA and since getting my waterbed my hip
pain has been almost noneixtant where before the waterbed I was waking
early AM and walking and sitting until I could take more medication
and go back to bed. My brother says his back is better when he sleeps
on his water bed. I have known other people who feel worse after
sleeping on waterbeds. I think there are a lot of factors, ie how
much wateryou put in, what kinds of problems cause your pain. The
best way might be to find a motel with a water bed and spend a night
or two and see how you do. I have the "soft-sided" waterbed, which
some think are imitation. But since I can not get out of a regular
waterbed without help and I live alone, I compromised. It may not be
as comfortable, but it allows me my independence. Good hunting. A
good nights sleep is definitely important.

Hi, Joe!
I have psoriatic arthritis and hypermobile joints. I got my first
waterbed almost 10 yrs ago (full floatation). Some years later, I tried
using a "normal" bed for a few months, with an expensive mattress. I got
stiffer and stiffer in the mornings and I did not sleep very well. So, I
bought myself a new waterbed, this time with "sitting edges" made of
wood. I am really, really happy with it. The only thing that can be
problematic, is to get in and out of it, sometimes. I have found a
technique that works well for me though. A soft edge would have been
nice though, since I pretty much roll out of it. The next time I take
the water out of it, I will get somebody to make a new and higher base
for it, which will make it a lot easier to get in and out of. That can
easily be done by yourself or a handyman. If you buy a new one, I
recommend that you look at that issue at once, since most of them are
really low.
Whenever I am sleeping in another bed, I wake up numerous times with
pain. The pressure that the mattress cause on the joints, gives me
trouble. The waterbed makes me float in a good position and it relieves
pressure on the joints really well. I am also using a bodypillow for
when I sleep on my side and a Tempurpedic neck pillow.
If I some day should have to have another type of bed, I think the
Tempurpedic mattress would be the first thing I would look at. If I were
to get my dream-bed, it would be one of those new softside waterbeds
with channels that makes it less wavey. You can also get them with
separate compartments, so it is possible to have a normal mattress in
one side and watermattress in the other side, if you are two with
different wishes. These beds sounds wonderful. I know that a girl with
really bad joint problems, she's on a mailinglist I'm on, recently
bought one of these beds. She is so happy with it. If you'd like me to,
I could ask her where she got it and what it is called.
Wheather or not a waterbed is the right choice, is really individual I
think. For some of us they are definately choice no 1, for others they
are terrible...

Hi, Magic!
Some years ago, when I moved into an old house, I had the same concern
as you. I had my sister, who's a building engineer, to look at the
floors. She said before she went to the basement to look at the ceiling
there, that she really didn't need to look because the old houses were
so much better built than the new ones. She looked anyway, and she told
me that I could easily put two of those waterbeds in that room... Was I
relieved? Oooooh, yes!!! I didn't know what I would do without my
waterbed... So, if you still would want to go back to your waterbed, why
don't you get somebody to check it out for you like I did?
I can only provide my own experience. I developed OA about 2 years ago,
mostly in my hips. My husband had been wanting a waterbed for some time
now and we decided to get one. When I tried it out, I noticed that when
I lay on my side, my body weight didn't put so much pressure on my
aching hips as it did when I was on a regular bed. On the down side,
sometimes it's more difficult to get out of bed because it's like a
pregnant woman trying to rise from an overstuffed chair.
I recommend ignoring the salesmen, and trying out any bed several times
before you buy one.

I'll second that. I've been sleeping in a waterbed since 1986, shortly
after I got RA. It's fantastic! One thing you might look at is the
"soft-side" or "hybrid" waterbeds. When I first tried out a waterbed,
I found I couldn't get out of the standard type of water bed, since it
required you to sort of climb up and out. But, the soft-side beds look
just like regular beds, and are much easier to get in and out of. Plus,
you don't need special sheets for them. The one I have now (my second)
doesn't even need a heater, since it has several inches of foam rubber
on the top piece which sits on top of the water mattress. I haven't
had any back problems from it, but my RA also doesn't bother my back
much, so that could be an issue. My husband finds it bothers his
back more than a regular mattress. He likes the firm-as-a-brick type
of mattress :-) I have found that there is much less pressure on my
sore joints, since the mattress has more give to it. This is a
godsend on those days when both side of your body are sore, since you
don't have to contort yourself so much to find a comfortable position.
The best thing for you to do is try them out and see how they feel.
If you are concerned about the motion, there are many levels of
"baffling" available now, so you can choose how much motion you want
the bed to have. Good luck!
Anita
Just to add my voice to the rest --
I have RA and have had a soft-side heated waterbed many years. The
soft-sided ones are MUCH easier to get in and out of than the board-sided
ones.
Be sure to get one that is heated -- I found the heat makes a major
difference in both pain and stiffness of joints. My morning stiffness used
to last 6 hours or more; with the waterbed, it lasts less than 2 hours, and
is much less pronounced.
I didn't appreciate that it was the waterbed that made such a difference
(thinking perhaps the medications were the cause), until I traveled and
stayed in hotels with regular beds again...The first morning I'd be
noticably creakier, and each following morning would be worse. If I slept
in regular beds for a week. I could barely get out of bed, and would be
creaky and uncomfortable all day, and the inflammation in my joints would
be much worse.
A heated soft-side waterbed certainly isn't a cure-all, but it really does
help!

Hi,
I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Norway most waterbeds come
with a 30 day money back guarantee, so you can try it out properly to
see how it works for you. It would maybe be a good idea to check this
out with some stores...
I agree, it takes at least a week to get used to it. The first couple of
days I would even get nauseated/sea sick;-)... But, now I can't
understand how I should be able to live without my waterbed.
You can also put a heavy pad over a regular waterbed bladder to keep
down the waves. If the bladder has been "burped" correctly, and you
have surfactant in the water to keep it from forming bubbles, it's
_much_ calmer. The pad damps the waves some, and it gives you a
vapor pocket between you and the plastic bladder. It means you
don't sweat as much. With that setup, I've even managed to _share_
a waterbed and neither of us got bounced out during the night. ;}
Terry's bed is set high, so he can more or less roll into and out
of bed. He had the frame custom built, with a bunch of drawers
in it. Keeping the waterbed warm but not broiling means that
he can get up in the mornings. He has two crushed disks and
a lot of wear-and-tear damage to his shoulders, knees and ankles.
I liked the soft bed, but I found I had to be careful not to get
my hands pinned underneath me. They'd get numb before I'd wake up
and notice. On a normal bed, the pain would wake me up. I'm sure
if I slept in a waterbed all the time, I'd eventually learn to keep
my hands in safe positions. The real problem with a single bladder
waterbed is that it's easy to slide down the sides and get jammed
against the frame sides. I'm told by friends that it's not a problem
with the channel waterbeds.
I just want a bed that big enough for me to be able to share it
without ending up curled up in a tiny ball in one corner, clutching
my pillow lest he take that too. ;}

I know. I actually have two pads on mine, I would not be able to sleep
on a waterbed without pads. It would also cause the heater to be on
constantly here, living in a cold climate with the window open all year
round... I have tried the heavy top mattresses, but that took the
comfort I like away (gave me lots of pressure pain, the mattress was
thrown out quickly!), so that was no solution for me. I have found that
the best thing to do for me, is to use pretty much water in the
mattress, and get all the bubbles out (well, easier said than done
sometimes when you've just filled it, right?). I refill the mattress
yearly with surfactant. Well, I wouldn't want all the waves to go away,
I kind of like them... Calming....

I have planned to get a new base frame built, slightly higher, the next
time I find an opportunity to empty the bed. I won't change the whole
frame, just the base of it. Putting drawers in it never struck my
mind... Thanks for this great idea!!!! I mean there is lots of space
inside the base... I could always use some extra storage space... Well,
this is a good idea for whoever is out looking for a new bed now... I
mean, a handyman/-woman could easily make a new base frame. If it wasn't
for my bad wrists/shoulders, I would have no difficulty of making one
myself. I would have to think a bit about the drawers though... Hmmmm...
How are they done? You would need something extra in the middle and the
other sides since you take away the support of two of the sides... Or,
aren`t the drawers covering the whole sides? Hmmmm... Wouldn't want it
to collapse when I take the drawer out, right? Are the drawers on
wheels? Hmmmm... My sister is an engineer, this could be something she
could calculate for me :-)...

Hmmm... I have never tried them, only heard about them. From what you
describe, I am sure that I would find it way to hard to sleep on...

I have found that this is no problem if the bed is big enough on single
bladder beds either. I don't think a queen size waterbed is made for two
people to sleep in for more than a few nights. For two people you simply
need a king size one... Then this won't be much of a problem if one of
the people aren't rather violent in sleep though ;-)... Bang, you're
stuck;-)...

he-he... I know what you mean....
Thanks for the tips!!!!! I will certainly stick with my one bladder
one!!! I could use a new base frame though (with drawers) and maybe I
should change the "sitting edges" on mine with some wider, padded
ones... I could do that, easily!!! :-) WOW... That could be a good idea
for others too... Put 20 cm padded (foam with a wooden inside) edges
on... I already have wooden ones, but replacing them wouldn't be tricky
at all...

Hi, Liz!
You got me curious... Could you tell more about it? The only air
mattresses I have seen here, are camping ones and the ones for people
who are in the bed more or less all the time. That is the sort with a
motor which pumps in up around you to support. These are more or less
available for severly handicapped people, people who normally need to be
turned by others etc., and they are extremely expensive... They are put
on top of a regular mattress.
I guess that what you are talking about is a different thing. Is this
something that could be used as a top mattress when we are staying in
hotels etc, or is it only regular air mattresses?
I have had RA for about 21 yrs. I slept on a waterbed (hybrid type, so
I could get out of it) for about 12 yrs of it. Now I sleep on a
conventional bed for the following reasons:
1) I travel about 4 times of year for business and 3 times a year for
pleasure and when a person is use to a waterbed, it is h*ll to get use
to a conventional bed while traveling.
2) My husband weighs 220 lbs and I weigh 97 lbs..well he would get in,
the water would all go to my side and I felt I was sleeping on a hill
and would fall off at any time. Also, even tho it was a hybrid whenever
he would move (remember he weighs 220 lbs) I would get the wave!!!
hehehehehe
3) My husband was having bad back pains, and after being in WASH DC for
a week on a conventional bed his back pains went away.
So we bought a hard! conventional bed. The trick for us was to get a
mattress pad that was heated and I turn it on about 20 minutes before I
jump in....oh heaven on the aching joints!!! So far it has worked and I
seem to sleep better. We have been sleeping on it for about 5 yrs. We
are thinking about getting a king, since he says I hog the bed (all my
97 lbs. hahahaah). So my advise is what ever bed you get, get the
biggest and best you can afford.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
My wife and I also opted for a conventional bed for much the same reasons.
We chose one that had the maximum firmness in the mattress itself but also
had an attached pad or "pillow top" on both sides. This made it easier to
lie on and also raises the height of the bed by 2-4 inches making it easier
for me to get up from it. We have had this bed for six years now and love
it. The children love it as well and take every chance to sleep in it. We
will have to get them the same type when their beds are due for
replacement.
Bob
P.S. I also find that my much smaller wife tends to hog the bed all of the
time :-).

Lori, I never heard of a heated mattress pad. What a wonderful idea! I,
too, had to give up the waterbed. It was just getting too difficult to
change postions while sleeping. My husband is 6' 7" tall and weighs 250
lbs., so sleeping was an adventure anyway. All he would have to do is roll
over and I'd be hanging onto an end table from this high, narrow strip of
bed. I always felt that if he were to cough, I'd bounce onto the floor.
Needless to say, a conventional bed is working better, though I dearly
miss the warmth of the waterbed on my rusty bones. It's not an issue
right now in Florida, since it will be in the 90's until October, but I'll
shop for a heated pad in the meantime. Thanks for the tip.

I suspect that you hit on one of the reasons that water beds help so
much - heat. This winter I got sick and started chilling. I put on my
sweats and went to bed (I also have a water bed). The next morning I
was still sick but my joints weren't near as sore. From then on I'd
wear my sweats to bed and socks (my ankles are big problems) and I wake
up better.
Sounds like your mattress pad did the same thing the water bed does.
BTW - Is it a full length pad and if so where did you get it?

I have ALWAYS found that this is the most comfortable bed I've ever slept
in. With my recent outbreak of psoriatic arthritis, I'm even happier with
it. There are still many mornings when I find that I've slept in one
position -- comfortably -- all night. On a conventional mattress, I rip
the sheets out, and twist the blankets. The challenge, as others point
out, is getting into and out of the thing! I've found that kneeling on
the edge and then stepping out isn't too bad...it's as much pain on my
hips as rising from a low sofa or chair.
That's why I LOVE my futon! It maintains just the perfect amount of
heat for me, without getting too hot in the summer, like waterbeds do...
in fact, if I sleep on a waterbed I'm likely to be in worse
pain...hotels are often the same...love that futon!!!
I second that. I've used both cotton-only and (currently) cotton-poly
batting and find that the temp (and, more importantly for me) the
firmness/support works wonders on my hip OA.
When I stay over at the girlfriend's, though, her Sealy-Postur-pedic just
makes me ache. A solution that works for me, when faced with being away
from my futon, is the use of a body pillow.

The waterbed we recently purchased here in the US also has a 30-day
trial period, after which it can be returned for a full refund if
we're not satisfied. With the way I'm sleeping since we got the bed,
though, it's pretty much a cinch that we'll keep this wonderful bed
for a long time to come. :-)
Thanks again to all those here for sharing their experiences with
sleeping on waterbeds. Sure does make my rickety old bones a lot more
comfortable at night. :-)
Joe
Huh. And when I sleep on a futon, my hip hurts so bad I often cannot
walk the next day. In fact, most times I _try_ to sleep on a futon,
I don't do a whole lot of sleeping.
Just goes to show that what works for one doesn't work for all.
Hi Dachudson, I have RA and I love my waterbed. It takes some getting
used to,
like getting in and out or getting temp right for the time of year. If
you
get the motionless kind and wipe down the bed after you fill it and let
dry, I
dont remmember any smell and dont have one now. Its like anything
else-you get
what you pay for, so buy the better heater and pad that goes between
sheets and
bedding.

The waterbed we bought does not smell rubbery at all to me. However,
on top of the bladders, we have a quilted pad, then a mattress cover,
and finally a fitted sheet. Our waterbed came with a 30-day try-out
period, after which we can return it for full refund if not satisfied,
though we are certainly more than happy with our purchase thus far.

Hi!
I've been following this thread with great interest too. I've found a
resource to share with you . American Waterbed Wholesalers
1-800-233-7191. I don't work for them, just ordered my first waterbed
from them.
They were very helpful over the phone AND they offer a 30 day in home
trial which I couldn't find from any of the local dealers. Their prices
are comparable to what retail stores charge- not really wholesale.
I am chemically sensitive also but didn't notice any smell when I was
trying them out in stores. The soft sided beds come with covers on them
amd some with pillow tops just like innerspring mattresses. This may
mask the rubber smell for you . The tops are made of many different
combinations of materials-maybe you can find one that suits you. Good
luck. We can all use a better night's sleep!

Hi,
I can't remember any smell at all from the one I've got now or the one I
had earlier...
I have been sleeping in an Air Bed for four or more years. This supports me
where I need it and I can make it as soft or as hard as I need to on a moments
notice. It is made by select comfort. I think they advertise in Readers
Digest. I know they have an 800 #. I found it through a lady that has been
sleeping in one for over 15 years. My has dual controls so my husband can
sleep in a hammock if he likes and I can be as firm as I want. Also, I have
found that I can't feel him move at night, which is great when I am having an
especially painful time. The old bed would jiggle and the pain would wake me.
Now, I sleep thru and only wake myself. I love the thing and wouldn't sleep
on anything else now. I understand you can get a replacement mattress from
Select Comfort for those beds sold that act like hospital beds.

I just discovered this thread. I work for FloCare Flotation which sells
air and water mattresses. I would like to add a link pointing our site
visitors to this thread so they could read about other peoples
experiences with air and water support. I am new to use-net groups.
Would this be out of line?
Regarding heated mattress pads, one of our suppliers has just gotten UL
approval on a heated pillow-top with that new "Swedish" memory foam. It
is full length with dual temperature controls. It will be available on
our air beds and as a add-on pillow-top for traditional beds.

He-he... Actually the "Swedish" foam is from the US... NASA developed
it, but Tempur-pedic started producing it...
What I really wanted to post about, was pillow-tops. I never really
