Customer Reviews of MEDIFLOW - Water Based Pillow - Water Pillow - Mediflow Fiber Padding
Customer Review: Pain is GONE!
Summary: 5 Stars
During 2008, I had two severe instances of pain related to my upper spinal column. During the first, pain in my jaw was so severe that I could hardly open my mouth in the morning. At first I believed I had a dental problem. Imagine my disbelief when my two dentists assured me it was caused by my back! The pain subsided over several months. Later in the year, the pain erupted again, this time as a very achy right arm feeling and sore right shoulder. After visiting an orthopedic surgeon and therapist, it was finally diagnosed as a pinched nerve between L3 and 4, caused by a narrowing space and slight arthritis. I am a side sleeper, sleeping on my left side and had tried several new pillows over the course of the year. The "cure" follows:
1) Mediflow pillow filled to "medium" setting
2) A regular foam pillow set vertically next to my chest to rest my right arm on while sleeping.
3) No more pushups. The Doc and therapist suggested this was one of the most taxing exercises for a condition like mine.
4) Move my computer monitor directly in front of my eyes rather than at an angle.
5) Avoid dozing in the evening while in an easy chair without head support.
I believe all the following helped, especially the Mediflow. Don't look for the pillow to do it all for you. The Mediflow is one of the best pillows I have ever purchased. The foam fill is as smooth and lump free as the day I received it, something I could never say about any other pillow I purchased, regardless of the price. It is comfortable for me in any sleeping position, side, back or stomach. It is a little heavier to manipulate but the benefits to me far outweigh that slight inconvenience. No water noise. And unlike my old pillows, no need to wake up to reposition, fluff, stuff or use my shoulder as a wedge. It is a great product and I would pay triple the price for this product! I love it!
Customer Review: Water pillow helped my neck problem
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had a problem with neck pain when I turn my head. The water pillow has helped to some degree. Customer Review: After a few months....
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok I waited to do this review because I wanted to see how well this pillow would work for me. I had found that at first I thought it worked great. It was soft and comfortable.
After awhile I noticed I was getting pain in the very back of my head. I thought maybe I was sleepy wrong. It turns out that with the water in the pillow it will still become misshapen during the night and my neck would lose the support that i was looking for.
My neck was popping out of place and my chiropractor would have to adjust my neck rather hard to get it back in place. It had to be the pillow. So I started using other plain pillows just to see what would happen and a plain pillow provided support better than this type water pillow. I even adjusted the water inside it in order to try and make it support better. This pillow just did not work for me.
Another note I had bought the 2 pack so that I could give one of these pillows to my husband, and it caused him to SNORE every night he used it. Even after adjusting water level. This pillow might work for some people but not me.
I gave my pillow to my 5 year old daughter. She seemed to like it, even though it is so heavy she can not lift it. She has even had to have her neck adjusted more often after complaining of neck pain, since using the pillow.
I will be getting rid of it because it just does not seem to be working out. What a shame. I hate to spend that much money on pillows and they not do what they are suppose to.
Customer Review: medi flow pillow
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never slept on a better pillow and would never go back to a regular one. Need I say more.Customer Review: not impressed
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this sounded like an amazing pillow. I have a baby and carrying him around all day I get back and neck pain. Well, I don't know if I"m doing something wrong but I think a memory foam pillow is a million times more comfortable. I really had high hopes for this. But witht he water side down it's just a run of the mill soft pillow. With the water side up it's slightly more comfortable but nothing amazing. It's a big gimmick. I"d suggest going with a great memory foam pillow. Maybe I am doing something wrong, i've tried more water, less water and it's all the same. It's like a mini water bed. sploosh .
