The wondrous waterbed
Getting quickly out of bed in the morning can be difficult for many of us. However, if you had been sleeping in a free flow waterbed getting up was really a challenge for anyone. You couldn’t just roll over and out as on many beds the siderail was an obstacle that had to be overcome. Pushing against the bed for leverage wasn’t that helpful due to the water mattress’s lack of firmness. Floundering about, you eventually managed to get your feet over the side, then wrestled your sweaty, struggling body to perch on the side rail and finally achieved a standing position.
