Yes. Once at the sister in laws place back before they were well baffled. They held 300+ gallons of water and often collapsed apartment floors. If anyone moved the surf was up. Never again.

More like 235 gallons for a king. I spent 30 plus years in firehouses and never had or heard of a waterbed collapsing through a floor. Not saying impossible but pretty unlikely.

And we had one in the 80s like a lot of people did.

There was a case years ago where a young man moved to a new place and was filling his water bed. I think it was the bag type with no baffles. He was lying on the floor reading while it filled and the bed frame collapsed. The bag rolled over on him and he suffocated. What a way to go - death by bed.

The dogs liked ‘em. Slept on one for years, then all of a sudden they fell out of style.

Slept on a number of them over the years. Once considered buying one but thinking about it, I have no doubt my wife's side would have frozen solid.

That reminds me, back in the early 80’s I was going to rent an old farmhouse. The previous renter was unreliable and kind of a flake, he just up and left.
The owner was showing it to me in the dead of winter and there was a waterbed that was a solid block of ice.
I didn’t rent the place, but in the spring my girlfriend and I came back to liberate the bed but it was all green inside!

When I was about 19-20 years old my buddy and I lived in a single wide trailer house. My cuzzin' got a good deal on it because it had a rusty frame and was deemed unsafe...

The rusty frame comes into play shortly...

Back then was a wild time and we had all kinds of parties. Anyway I had a queen size water bed setup in my bedroom that was on the far end of the trailer. One extra crazy night I was enjoying a threesome with a couple hotties when the frame of the trailer gave way and the waterbed, the hotties and I all hit the dirt.

Mice were running over us, some freaky spiders, busted water line. Went from heaven to hell in a couple seconds.
