Thanks for all the input guys. Thankfully, I already had one of those water proof sheets on my bed, so the mattress wasn't damaged at all. My primary form is the beach ball and I'm seriously considering going back to that tomorrow, but now I'm going to try using distilled water in it to help ward off mold. Sugar Kitten, do you know any specific brands of fungicide to suggest adding to the water? I may not try it this time, maybe just the distilled water, but it's a good tool to have in the arsenal I suppose.
I'm much, much more comfortable with beach balls right now. I've slept with one of those on for several nights in a row before, and left it filled for over half a year with no popping or even leakage. It's rather horrifying when a belly bursts on you in the middle of the night, so I may not be going back to punch-ball balloons any time soon! But still, Pregumpad, thanks for the advice about doubling them up though. Why the hell didn't I think of that? I've tried that with regular party balloons before, but I was too afraid to sleep with them they were so cheap and delicate, even when doubled up.
Is the stress when sleeping with a belly worse than that of just wearing it and doing housework?
And yes, I also bought my punch ball balloons from Wal-Mart for about $4 for 8 of them. That's $.50 per balloon.
