My story
Back pain that wouldn’t quit — until a soft-sided waterbed
In 1982 Colin ruptured a disc in his lower back. Surgery helped for a while, but the pain returned. In 2002 an orthopaedic surgeon said the original fusion needed redoing — and that the next vertebrae needed fusing too. He told Colin to wait as long as possible.
For years after that, pain forced Colin out of bed after about seven hours. Sleeping on his right side was the worst — all of this on a top-of-the-line Posturepedic.
In 2008 Colin bought the Mr Waterbed business and tried a modern soft-sided waterbed himself. Within weeks the comfort and pain relief surprised him. Over the next two years, right-side sleep discomfort faded until it was no longer an issue.
Colin is still on his soft-sided waterbed. His back still loves the support — and he still hasn’t needed that second surgery recommended in 2002.
Colin cannot believe how much this waterbed has improved his quality of life.
