Customer Reviews of MEDIFLOW - Water Based Pillow - Water Pillow - Mediflow Fiber Padding
Customer Review: AWESOME
Summary: 4 Stars
This is just what I was looking for. I have neck and jaw problems and found the only real time I ever felt like I was able to relax normally was when I would lie in the bath, suspended by a flotation sling around my lower back (yes it sounds weird but its sooo relaxing, you should try it!) and then my head actually resting on an inflatable bath pillow so all in all i would just be floating on my back in the tub, completely weightless, of course i still do that cos its much better that just sitting in the tub on the hard floor, but i thought, man, if i only i had a pillow like this, that was full of water , it would give me a similar effect for my jaw and neck would it not? of course there i was thinking i had invented some breakthrough product until i googled water pillow and there it was... but I am grateful, i dont have to go to the trouble of making it myself and marketing it etc I can just enjoy what this pillow has to offer, and thats not only neck pain relief, but actually also a good nights sleep. you dont wake up feeling half dead and groggy, which most people do, my neck doesnt hurt at all anymore and its like you are floating in the tub all night long without having to buy a water bed. its premium support for your neck and great for pressure relief if you have a jaw problem. sometimes those memory foam pillows say 'pressure relief' on them, but have you ever noticed they are so bloody hard? Customer Review: Outstanding product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this pillow for seven months. My sleep improved beginning on the first night and the stiff neck I had had was gone ... and has remained gone. It does feel comfortable. An added bonus has been my wife commenting that my snoring is much lighter.
I found the pillow easy to fill with water. It fills quickly but I just had to slow down and fill carefully so that the water didn't overflow out of the dual purpose tool used as a cap when filling. That dual purpose tool also is used as a wrench to tighten the valve cap. I've had no problem at all since with water leakage: the seal seems to be completely tight and I do not anticipate any problem at all with that as it seems well made.
I used 3 liters in order as recommended to get a medium degree of firmness. That has seemed just fine so I did not need to make any adjustment. I removed the air pocket from the water pouch as recommended and have not noticed any sloshing since.
The entire process of preparing the pillow was easy and quick.
Save the dual purpose tool! You will need at least every year when it is advised that the water in the pillow be changed. You would also need that tool if you want to adjust the firmness of the pillow (which I have not had the need to do).
I've spent years never finding an adequate pillow so I've been happily surprised to have found this pillow. It seems well made so hopefully it will last years but I worry what I will do if I have to replace it: hopefully it will be no problem to order another Mediflow pillow here at Amazon. I've actually considered ordering a "spare" - in fact, it wouldn't hurt at all to keep a second one on my queen-size bed.
I saw this pillow advertised by Mediflow on the Web when I had followed a link to read about meditating in a chair. Was the company sharp enough to realize that if I wanted to read about meditating in a chair I might have neck problems? If so, it worked.
Mediflow's web site contains a lot of helpful information about the pillow, including tests conducting purported to show its benefits. I took that information into consideration before making my order through Amazon. I am reminded every night, when I wake up every morning, and especially as I go through the day without a painfully stiff neck how much of a benefit this Mediflow pillow has been to me since the first day I slept on it.
Customer Review: heavy

Nice pillow, but very, very heavy! Hard to move around, especially if your an older person! I bought two, but gave the second one to my daughter. My husband decided it was too heavy for him to move around.Customer Review: it really works
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had chronic neck pain with morning headaches almost every day since a car accident 6 years ago. I 've tried all sorts of pillows including the memory-foam type and this one is far superior. I noticed a difference within three to four days. I have even been able to cut down the frequency of my chiropractic visits. I highly recommend this product if you have neck pain because it sure has helped me out.Customer Review: Bye Bye Neck Pain!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
While it took me a full week to get used to sleeping on this pillow, it was worth it!! I purchased this pillow from my chiropractor years ago - and have lived without neck pain ever since! He warned me it takes a bit of getting used to - that I should allow a full week of sleeping on it before full benefits are felt. He was right! I went thru some uncomfortable nights, but kept his words in mind. The benefits far outweighed those few nights of discomfort!! Sounds wrong - but it's true!
Took a bit of adjustment on the amount of water I used - I tend to like a firmer pillow and ended up with a bit more than the instructions suggest in it.
It is heavy, yes, but you only need to pick it up when changing the sheets. Worth it!!! I used to have to go to the chiropractor far too often for pain in my neck - that is a thing of the past! I sleep on my back and sides throughout the night - this pillow is so comfortable I adjust with little to no effort.
I can't believe I've waited this long to review it! Please, if you have neck pain - get this pillow!!! I can't recommend it high enough!!
