I don't know how old our current  waterbed is, but I'm pretty sure it's over 30 years. We bought it either when we moved from Toonerville to Dream Park or when we swapped bedrooms with the kids, so 1985 or 1988. So if it is finally worn out, it's hard to grumble about the quality. There have been small leaks over the years, but fairly easily mended without having to drain the bed. But now those old repairs seem to be springing new leaks and our attempts to fix them with more glue and patches just isn't working. It's barely possible that the third attempt today will hold water, but I have little hope. So now what? Can you even buy waterbeds any more?
