Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.
Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can't really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)
The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you'll stay warm with a blanket
Sometimes I can’t take a bath cause the moving water makes my head spinny. I can’t imagine how bad the water bed would feel lol. I’d probably have mid night breaks for puking.
High-quality water beds have stabilizer pads in the mattress
The idea of the old crappy 70's water bed where they slosh around is a poor idea.
You aren't laying on a ziploc bag barely filled with any water.
It's more like a ziploc bag filled with molasses. If I pushed a corner down it would slowly bring up everywhere else. If I stopped pushing a corner it everything would slowly go back down.
Say I have a massive gut and sleeping on my right side. I'm displacing X amount of water. If I was to turn to my left side I am still displacing the same amount of water. Just the empty space that use to hold my gut would be filled with the water from the other side where my gut is now. Someone on other side of bed wouldn't even feel it because the water underneath them doesn't change.
The nights aren't very cool in some parts of the world.
I wish bug nets for windows (or at all) were standard in Sweden.
In some places in the country you will be bitten by 10 thousand mosquitoes just because you dared to open the window for a minute.
I keep my PC in my bedroom so it's hard in general to keep the room comfortable but in the winter you can at least open the windows for a few seconds and nearly instantly make the room comfortable (and without insects). In the summer it's fucking impossible to keep the room cool no matter what you do. At least the PC has good cooling so it survives; I just wish I would.
That works now, but from June to August the nights aren't all that much cooler and there is rarely any wind either. Still makes sense, but it feels so futile. I am Sisyphus.
lol no, that's the most american thing about me and i refuse.
i literally use metric for everything else in my day job and overall life; but for temperature, Fahrenheit makes more sense to me. 100 F? deadly. 70 F? great. 50 F? chilly. 0 F? deadly.
