Yes, I've slept on a waterbed.  I liked it a great deal.  In fact, I
just went out and bought one for myself.  I can only speak for myself,
but I find that when I sleep on a waterbed, I need about 15%-20% less
sleep a night, and I wake up feeling much better.

Here in Atlanta, there are a couple of stores which sell waterbeds with
30 day guarantees.  If, after a 30 day trial, you don't like the
waterbed, you can exchange the water mattress for a conventional
mattress, or you can get a refund.  I'm told that the return rate is
under 10%.

If you are thinking about purchasing a waterbed, let me suggest that
you look into semi-waveless and waveless mattresses.  Also, be sure to
purchase a heater for the bed -- that is one of the nicest things about
a waterbed in the colder months.

On a slightly different note, I was told that Florida recently passed a
law making it illegal for landlords to prohibit waterbeds, and that the
Georgia legislature has a similar law pending.  Anyone know anything
further about this?
