Anybody here have one of those 'as seen on TV' hoses that magically expand
and then shrink back to their original short length?

I bought a 25' one today as I have a new soft sided waterbed that will
most likely have to be topped off next week. I realize it does expand
once the water is turned ON but can _I_ pull it to make it reach the
mattress??

I hope my question makes sense.

Put one of these shut off valves on the end of the hose and turn on
the water, then shut the valve. That should fill the hose up. Then
bring the end to the bed.

It makes eminent sense and is so obvious the original question is absurd.

That would be true maybe if everyone thought of it, but for 11 hours no
one thought of it until CRNG did.
