Customer Reviews of MEDIFLOW - Water Based Pillow - Water Pillow - Mediflow Fiber Padding
Customer Review: Doctor Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband was recently told by the doctor that he should use a water-filled pillow to help in preventing the reoccurance of a pinched nerve. At first he had negative feelings about such a pillow, so I used it for several nights and found it to be very comfortable. He decided he really should use it, so I ordered one for myself. I find that I am most comfortable with the maximum amount of recommended water. He uses about 3/4 of the maximum amount. The only negative comment is that the pillow is quite heavy. However I find that to be of little significance because it is so comfortable to sleep on. We both highly recommend this pillow. Customer Review: My neck is in heaven!

I could not be happier with this pillow. I have been in search for the past 2 years for a great pillow, and finally, after spending hundreds of dollars on disappointment, I found this. Thanks to my husband emailing me an AOL article on how to find the right pillow, I heard of Mediflow. It has changed how I sleep every night!Customer Review: A magical pillow... Finally!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the past year, I realized that I was having back and neck pain due to my pillow. I'm in my late 20's, and have never had this problem before. I've gone thru a lot of pillows recently. I started out trying traditional pillows from target for side sleepers/back sleepers and just getting a new one every 2 months or so when it got too squished down for me.
The last one I tried was the Homedics HMP-TRCL Temp-Rite 4 Lb. Density Classic Pillow, and I was really hoping it was "the one" -- I'm starting to feel like the goldilocks of pillows. It wasn't and my neck pain upon waking got worse. It was a great pillow until it squished down with body warmth and left you with no neck support. So..on to the next! I saw this water pillow as the #1 of the top 'popular' pillows recommended on an AOL .com story. I was willing to give away my first born(ok, so I don't plan on having any kids, but I figured I could promise it despite that, right?) for a good nights sleep, so I ordered the mediflow water pillow.
When it arrived -- I was like 'huh, this seems like a normal cheap pillow' with just the puffy fill, no feathers or anything. Then I started putting water in. The bottom of the pillow is the water pouch, where the entire top is the pillow. All in all, I wasn't overly impressed, but like I said before, I'll try anything. And yes, this sucker is heavy. I won't need kids because lugging around this pillow is the same as having a 2 or 3 year old. It's heavy. I'm not going to be doing that often except for road trips or visiting the parents, so it's not a huge concern.
Usually my first night with a new pillow is extremely uncomfortable, with this one, I actually slept thru the night. I was so used to waking up every hour or so to flip my homedics pillow. I got out of bed thinking 'I really hate Wednesday, so much work to do' instead of 'ugh, I so want to go right back to sleep, my back/neck is killing me'. It took me a little while to figure out I hadn't thought about that pain. I did need to adjust the water a little, I had filled it to the brim, and took out just a cup or two. I think I'm in the firm category that they mention on the instructions.
Now for the MAGIC: this week I've been waking up an hour or two earlier. And feeling...awake. not groggy and in pain. I think this might be the pillow. Because I'm sleeping soundly throughout the night, I reach my sleep limit earlier. I don't use an alarm clock, so I just get up whenever I naturally wake up(I work from home), which is usually 8:30. I've been waking up at 6:30 and then figuring I can squeeze in another hour, so I go back to sleep till 7:30.
I'm so happy with this pillow right now, and for 35 bucks, it was definitely worth a shot!! If you're having neck and back pain, I know you're at the brink like I was. Don't bother promising your first born(or 2nd or 3rd) to anyone, just buy this pillow. =)
Customer Review: Not what I needed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was disappointed with this pillow. My chiropractor suggested I use one to help alleviate shoulder pain from sleeping on pillows that were too soft. As a side sleeper, I need a very firm pillow. Unfortunately, even with the maximum amount of water added, this pillow is a "medium firm" at best. It CANNOT BE RETURNED either so I am stuck with an expensive pillow I cannot return. Needless to say, the chiropractor got an earful.Customer Review: Excellent pillow

About ten years ago, a chiropractor tried to get us to buy this pillow. We didnt have much money and thought $45 was excessive. Well 10 years later, I found it for $35, and I wish I had listened to that guy.
I might not have the back trouble I have now. I went to the doctor with nerve pain from a herniated disk, a sore neck and back. He suggested getting the curved cervical pillow. I had tried them before and did not like them. I got one and it made my neck worse. So I got a Chiroflow.
First night, I had too much water in it and was not that impressed. 2nd night, I emptied a bit out, and this was the most comfortable pillow I have ever had!! My neck pain was dramatically reduced. I love this pillow. I actually wake up with less pain than I go to bed with, and dont move around to awkward positions. The pillow contours around your head and neck just right.
