THE HOUSE WITH FOUR WATERBEDS
retired businesswoman Caryl tandy, 65, and husband Julian have four children and live in llanelli, Wales. Caryl says: I HAVE four waterbeds at home — one for each bedroom. Quite simply they give you the best night’s sleep of your life.
Contrary to popular opinion, sleeping on one isn’t like being on a boat — nor is it a cheesy Del Boystyle seduction tool.
Modern waterbeds, which cost around £1,500, can help with arthritis and muscular problems, keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. I would also argue that they’re good for your marriage — they are split into two separate water compartments so you don’t disturb each other when you move around during the night.
When we have guests, the waterbed is always a talking point. Some find it hilarious, but after enjoying a brilliant night’s sleep, they’re usually converts.
