@SQUEEKY2, I read your post, and I’m thinking than flinging the spouse night be a pro for some and a con for others.
I sleep alone, and it works great for me. I never liked sleeping on a flat surface. Maybe too much like a slab for me. A waterbed sloshes and makes me worry about it making me pee.
Who with the very cheapest I can get, because I am heavy, so eventually they will fail. Replacing them a couple of times a year is still much less than buying a new mattress.
I like that there are no hard spots, like clumped batting, or whatever.
I have a pump, so occasionally refilling is no problem.
The one issue I have is the new smell. They need to be laid out for a day or two to air out.
They have improved them some in regards to movement. They have separaters inside which slow air movement so there is less fling involved.
One last thing, I saw a guy riding the waves on one this week on the news. It must have been a queen size. He appeared to be having a very good time.
