I used to have one. It was fun for the first year. Then the fun ended. What I disliked most was every little movement you or somebody else makes on the bed, causes waves/swells that you get to ride up and down for the next 30 seconds. Another thing I didn't like is due to the water mattress being inside a wooden box, the edges of the bed will always be rigid walls - this is makes it less comfortable for getting in and out of bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed is not a comfortable option either.
I did like that I could control the water temperature, but there is just too many inconveniences to justify having one for me. I sold it at a garage sale.
May be worth noting i think i had what they call a "free flow" style of mattress. There is newer so-called "waveless" ones that i have no experience with.
it sounds like you didn't have a segmented ballon thing... i had one that had like 8 long tubes rather than one large one, and that was nowhere near as noticeable
