Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

This week we again feature Louise Thomas, who supplied the photos and the words.

"Molly didn’t know exactly when it all went wrong, but she was pretty sure Brad had been a massive misstep. He was a real fly boy, handsome, with a cute ruff of feathers giving him a jaunty look. He used to swagger onto her section of the beach with little fish gifts. Once, she had been on a fast-track career path at flight school, then six months later she was sitting on a guano-covered rock in a stinking estuary having to regurgitate mush for a screaming infant. It’s not that she didn’t love the little tyke, but he was never in the plans and some days she felt like her head was going to split open with his incessant asthmatic kvetching. And Brad? She hadn’t seen that no-good bounder in weeks. Red-billed gulls (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae scopulinus). Parent and juvenile, Hutt Estuary."

Hi there,

• IPX4 waterproof degree, free to do sports even for heavy sweat.
• Bluetooth connection, no wire's trouble while exercising.
• Nano water resistance layer, anti-sweat, more durable to use.
• Ergonomic designed earbud tips, ultra-soft, very comfortable to wear.
• Drive-by-wire, with microphone and volume control.

The back of the package shows some fading, please see on the photo.
