Hey Alley, I loved my warm waterbed too, but after much prodding I finally got red of it, and when it disappeared, so did 3/4 of all my neck and back problems. I really hated that those doctors were right and I was wrong, lol! But my neck and back really do hurt much less than they used to. As a matter of fact, it's when we got the waterbed that the problems SLOWLY started, so for all I know that may have been at the very least a contributing factor.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 I have a pillow top softside waterbed and it does not bother me at all. My daughters bed is just a pillow top mattress, and when I sleep on it I wake up all stiff and achey. I have been sleeping on waterbeds for over 20 years. Maybe it is the type of waterbed?

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 Just curious...my daughter has a lot of stiffness in the morning and we were discussing waterbeds that perhaps it may help. Has anyone tried this with success? We were thinking the warmth would be soothing and the water would cushion her better. Does this make sense? Has anyone had success or not with a waterbed. Thanks in advance. You are all so incredibly knowledgeable. I am learning so much from all of you that have experience first hand. --e, 14 y.o. girl with poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 I have to agree the heat is wonderful but the water beds are not recommended. An electric blanket or mattress pad would be my recommendation, (except in winter time because then you dont want to get out of bed ..lol). Just yesterday myson had his 6th grade physical and he has had some backaches recently and the doc recommends a very firm mattress and heat!!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Thanks Donna....it seems the consensus is 'no'...my son has been begging for a waterbed way before his diagnosis...he slept on a friend's and loved it...didn't know if it might help and Rob 13 jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 - I guess I missed the posts on why waterbeds are not recomended. I don't know if it is dependant on the amount or which joints are affected?? I can see that they might not be as much support to some especially if there is any back involvement. My daughter (13 y.o with pauci for 5 yrs.) has had one for the past 3 yrs. and loves it. The heat certainly seems to help we think. She also had slept on one at a family members house before we got it and loved it. She really misses it if she sleeps at a frinds house. She has mostly small joints involved so maybe that makes a difference. I had read in a book I got when she was first diagnosed that they were recommended. What is the reason that they are not?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2002 Report Share Posted May 25, 2002 Hi Debby, I read that in a brochure too when na was first diagnosed. Shriners gave us the brochure but it had the arthritis foundations address on it. (that waterbeds were reccomended) Maybe it's ok to try it but if it causes them pain then I guess you would have to try something else. But they really hurt my back but I have spinal stenosis not to mention other things. Take care Jona and na 2 poly gladswan@... wrote: - I guess I missed the posts on why waterbeds are not recomended.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hi Eli & , As I said, if it was solely up to me I would dump everything.....and rip out the ceiling fan too. Of course I don't want another electrical device! What I am looking for is some answers and explanations to convince my husband that these things are genuinely a problem - and to not get another waterbed. He pretty much has to see something on a meter or have a very clear explanation to believe that there really is a problem. We are trying to find a comfortable bed - he is a big waterbed fan and everything else feels hard and comfortable to him. We just got a Costco memory foam bed but I realise that the memory foam is only the top 3 inches (the rest is very compact foam) and even with a microfiber pillowtop plus additional memory foam top it is still too hard (even for me). Are tempurpedic beds 100% memory foam?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have had a really hard time with women in my life - I think ultimately unless the world or you change you need a person with at least some sensitivities - 'mornal' people simply never get it or understand or think it will just go away and you'll get over it. We probably need an dating network.... On 3/28/07, Aline <haikuron@...> wrote: > > I won't get to that point.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 The field from the heater in the water bed will disappear instantly when you unplug the heater from the outlet - unless the cord picks up current from being near a current source. If you heat the water during the day, when you are not there, it should stay warm all night. I used to have a waterbed. I just put a thick insulating pad over the water bag, and never heated it at all. This will save quite a bit of energy, too.
