My husband has a king size bed that I use to sleep in, until I decided that I was fed up with him being a bed hog. I now sleep in the guest bedroom on a double size bed. It works for us, he goes to bed early and I'm a night owl. I use to wake him up when I would come to bed. Now it doesn't matter what time I go to bed and some times it is really late.

We have an airbed and I love it -- DH can have his side his way and I can have my side my way. If I need it a bit harder or softer because of my back, it is adjustable. Never had a water bed -- we tried some and he turns too heavy so it never worked for us.

Had a king waterbed for three decades; replaced it with Pillow Top - hated the pillow top; replaced it with individual waterbed mattresses. Both of us are happy!

Never could stand a water bed. I had a friend who loved hers but when I house sat I always ended up sleeping on the couch. I like a very firm mattress. I have been some places I ended up sleeping on the floor. That was a while back though don't think I could get up off it now. lol

I love my Tempurpedic mattress! I wondered how much I would like it but now wouldn't trade it for anything!

I had a boyfriend (years ago) that had a waterbed. I happened to be napping on it, rolled over, and the mattress and all went with me. It pinned me on the floor against the wall. It is a very creepy feeling to be buried under a waterbed mattress!

We had a waterbed for years, but it was hard on my arthritis. Now we have the Sleep number. His side is soft, mine is firm, we both sleep well.

I had a waterbed until 5 years ago .... finally decided to grow up. LOL :D

I had any number of them until I married my DH 8 years ago & he said "no way". I was sure I'd never gget a decent night's sleep ever again & guess what? First night... slept like a baby (& no, I don;t mean I woke up wet & hungry every 3 hours... LOL!). I'm a convert back to "regular" beds. I hope you're as happy with yours as I am with mine! Sweet dreams, sleepyhead!

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who sleeps without DH (but with Leo). He has Restless Legs Syndrome which is no fun to share a bed with. My knee & back wake me up several times a night, so I'm up & down. So, our darling MD told us she thought we'd both sleep better if we separated sleeping spaces. So, he sleeps in the guest room & Leo (my dog... I'm not kinky... LOL!) & I sleep in the master. It works like a charm. He can go to bed early & I can stay up all night if I want to. It works for us. Hey... it makes for fun "visits"... LOL!

Reporting back in.....at first the new pillow top felt much firmer than the one in the showroom. We even questioned that the salesperson ordered the correct mattress. Anyhow, took it for a spin last night. Fell asleep in probably less than 15 minutes which is unusual for me so that would be around 11:15, never woke up until 4:30 for a potty call. Can't remember the last time I didn't toss and turn and wake up every hour. When I got up at that time, was amazed I could actuallly stand up straight and my spine didn't hurt. Also did not wake up with hotflashes. I'm sure I had a couple but were mild enough not to wake me. With the heated waterbed I'd lay there cooking for what felt like hours. This just might be a significant quality of life improvement. Woooooo Whooooo!
