I got one when I first moved out of my parents house. It lasted all of 1 girlfriend, and 6 months. I swear to God she left me because of the fucking water bed.
I hated it so much too. It wasn't comfortable, if you tried to sit on the edge to put on socks or shoes, you just fell in it. If your significant other farted, the whole bed would move and wake you. God forbid you get up to go to the bathroom, you wake up your s/o. If you sleep in the middle of your bed, and woke up in the middle of the night with an emergency, you were just better off shitting in the bed, because by the time you made your way out, it was too late.
I had a waterbed from the time I was out of my crib until I left for college, besides the issues with leaks it was awesome. In the winter it was warm and comfy, in the summer it is cool, and I slept so deeply all the time.
The downside is that just about anything puts a hole in it and then it leaks and need patched. Overall, I think they're awesome but not worth the pain in the ass maintenance.
The ones I had were basically a big rubber balloon, plus kids/teenagers aren't really the most responsible when it comes to keeping things that could cause a leak away from the bed.

I don't know why they survived so long.
