Product works I sleep on it every night doesn't leak you just set up

WOW. I slept on my new waterbed mattress for the first time last night (it took 3 days for the water to heat). It is amazing, almost like sleeping on a cloud. A cloud with substance. lol It's so much better than my 20+ year old mattress, which was 95% waveless. My new mattress is 99% waveless. It has the give of a buffered waterbed mattress, but doesn't have any sloshing. Really, I am just blown away at how comfortable it is. I will add that I have an extra plush mattress cover, which helps, I'm sure. Now then, to address the overpowering smell of plastic ... Yes, it stank to high heaven when the heater started warming up the water. Too late to lay it out in sunshine for a couple of days, as one website recommended. Also too late to repeatedly soap down the entire mattress and rinse it off until the smell dissipated. So what I did was spray Clorox disinfecting mist over the mattress. Helped. However, the smell just seemed to intensify in the room and hallway. So I resprayed the filled mattress as well as the entire room, hallway and adjoining bathroom. At least 5 times. It did the job. No more smell. I slept soooo good, no tossing and turning, just relaxing in boneless comfort. I will also add I am a 68 year old woman, and installed the waterbed all on my own. It's that user-friendly. And durable! Just watch a couple of how to fill waterbed mattress videos before doing it solo for the first time. Enjoy!

I have had a water bed since 1980! It's the only way for me to sleep because it conforms to my body and I never wake up with an arm or leg that is sleeping... tingles! I can't sleep on a regular hard bed, just too uncomfortable. That said, I have had my last water bed mattress for several years and it felt like it was starting to stretch. I kept having to increase the amount of water to keep it filled at the level I like. I ordered this new mattress. Came in a single box. I installed the liner that came with it, and it is very good and fairly solid sides. Placed the new mattress in the liner/frame. Used the included filling tools to fill the mattress with water. Took about an hour or so. Used a broomstick to push the excess air out of the filled mattress. Turned on the heater (my heater, mattress does not include a heater). First night I put a thick comforter on top and slept on that so I would not get cold from the unheated water. Last night was night number 2 and the bed was nice and toasty warm. Slept like a log! I read a number of reviews here that complain about the terrible smell. My mattress has no smell at all. I was expecting it after everything I read here, but there is no smell whatsoever. I am extremely happy with this mattress. It is built well and comes with everything you need to set it up. You do have to own your own waterbed heater or buy one. The mattress is wave-less and just plain nice to lay on. I'm back in heaven now!

As easy as all water beds to install, tape the liner in place as other customers have mentioned, it helps. I had a semi free for over 10 yrs then I went to free flow, it was just as I wanted!

I liked everything about this mattess. As close to my old one as I could have hoped (I loved my old matress). This matress has less wave motion which lends more support but still offers cloud like comfort.
