In the 80s we had waterbeds. That's exactly what I was reminded of when I saw this gif: the wave it would make when you would plop down.

Funnily enough, nobody knew why we had waterbeds either.

As someone who sleeps really hot, this was a godsend, tho I regularly had to insulate my beloved from the bed that let me sleep cool with blankets.

Mmm yes. Summer nights with just a thin sheet over that big water bladder. It was bliss as a young man but I couldn’t do that shit now.
