Orville,
 
The big thing in "waveless waterbeds" is to put fibre, something about like 
a furnace filter, in the bed.  Depending on the amount of dampening, the 
fibre can be from 2 inches to 6 inches.
 
Having installed MANY waterbeds in the late 70's, I remember the jelly beds. 
 Not a good idea for a mobile nation such as the US.  Every time you move, 
you have to replace the matress.  Not cost effective.
