The water displaces the weight of the body evenly. So if 2 adults were a total of 350 pounds, the weight per square foot of floor space goes up to 28.5 pounds. Considering a person standing on one leg place much more than 28.5 pounds per square foot. The major obstacle to waterbeds is should they spring a leak.

Okay, well, I have 2 mattress’s, one a super hard (hotel firm) with an innerspring underneath. I sleep on a space age form thingy 4 inches thick. This all rests atop a waterbed frame, with four storage drawers (one atop the other) under the entire bed. The drawers hold all the bedding and other various and sundry items.
I would be one mad woman if a water bed were to spring a leak on all that. ;)
I really don't think I am wanting a waterbed.
