Mattresses

[askolover]

I'm not a rough and tumble sleeper...usually can't even tell I've been in the bed.  I keep a comforter on my waterbed year round and it stays tucked in on 3 sides.  When I slip out of the bed I just flip the comforter back over the spot I came out of.  No making the bed everyday because it stays made.  Eddie, I also have always used flat sheets on my waterbed.  I got one set of waterbed sheets back in the 80's and I hated them.  I always use a satin flat sheet on the bottom too because otherwise I end up like a mummy when I turn over because everything tries to go with me.  With the satin bottom sheet I can just give a little oomph and flip right over no problem.  I bought a 100% cotton filled quilt on ebay several years ago to use as a mattress pad.  The cotton breathes well, protects the water bag, and helps with insulation along with the top comforter.  My bed was built out of 2x10's and 1/2 inch plywood.  My first one in 1984 had particle board for the pedestal.  Mine is much stronger.

The late British comedienne, Victoria Wood, once made a joke about winceyette nighties and flannelette sheets, with the result being that you'd effectively be velcroed into the bed, unable to move.

Take it from a man WHO knows.

Listen to the springs. Coil none the less. Pay attention to the comfort and noise. It makes a world of difference. All this foam and micro fiber stuff is for a waiting climate. The climate is not in stores.

My step

daughter has an expensive king size orthopoedic set. She says it's the best! I think it's by Simmons, or Serta. Then she told me she when she was concieved, it was on a night her mom had been out drinking with friends at a bar, She was dancing on the fire truck inside it, and making out with the indian chief manequin. Her best friend wanted her named Matreesse. They were hair dressers. She came home a blonde that night.
