What is this fascination with beds that rise high above the floor?  Our
waterbed is on the floor, and my daughter's twin mattress and box springs
are not on a frame.  I agree, it's much more "user-friendly" all around.

My wife had a clever idea how to reduce bed falling-out-of's.  Megan's
bed is against a corner.  My wife rolled a blanket into a tight cylinder
and put it between the mattress and box spring on the side facing out.
This raises the mattress gently, just enough to counter temptation to
roll out that way.  (Teddies and other stuffed critters around the wall
sides, and a huge stuffed rabbit at the foot, make for a very "soft"
sleeping environment indeed.)

PS:  Megan gets her own waterbed just as soon as she requests it and
shows she can take care of it.  Flush to the floor, probably.
