Mediflow Original Fibre Water Pillows – Adjustable Orthopaedic Neck Support, Waterbase Cushioning – Side, Back & Front Sleepers (2 Pack)

IN BRIEF: - My neck and shoulder pain have gone - It's good quality and value for the price - Incredibly comfortable once you get used to the slight water motion - Take care to squeeze all the air out and tighten the stopper with the provided tool - Don't make the same dumb mistake I did at first - the stopper side goes on the underside, the pillow just lies much better that way and won't bunch under your neck. *************** Having been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for quite some time I felt I should probably try a new pillow to see if it helps, I was just wary of buying one too firm or too soft. When I saw this one recommended for neck pain and the fact it can be adjusted to suit by adding more water for a firmer pillow I decided to take a chance on it. Filling it is fairly simple. I gradually added more water till it suited me. If you've ever squeezed the air out of a hot water bottle then you have to do the same thing with this. It's made a little trickier by the bulk of the pillow, but for most this won't be a difficult task. Some may need a hand due to the weight of it when full. I found it VERY odd to sleep on for about a fortnight or so. You do feel a bit of wave motion when you move through the night, but I did get used to it and I now find the motion quite pleasant. One thing I didn't realise is there's a top side and a bottom side. As I was nervous about it leaking or bursting at first I had it with the stopper on the top side. I found this made the pillow slope and wedge under my neck quite uncomfortably. Once I realised it actually lies much, much better the other way with the stopper underneath (and there's a nice plump pillowy bit on top) - the difference was like night and day! It seems so obvious now and a really stupid mistake, but I suspect I'm not the only person to have done this. I don't mind sharing my dumb error if it helps someone else have a better night's sleep. I've had it for over a month now and my neck and shoulder pain has now completely gone! This was pain that I'd had continuously for several months so I feel I can safely say it's entirely down to the change of pillow as nothing else had been helping. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm having the absolutely best nights sleep in my life (there are so many other factors), but it has undoubtedly improved my comfort and I no longer wake in agony. I gather it hasn't helped everyone with pain issues, but I felt it was worth trying it anyway and I'm glad I did. I saw a review saying it was cheap quality, but I couldn't disagree more. Of course, it's not a £100 top of the range orthopaedic pillow, but it's far from cheap quality - and I've had more than my fair share of cheap (like Wilko/Poundstretcher cheap) pillows over the years! It's very good value for the price imo.

⭐Headline⭐ As a physiotherapist, I highly recommend the Mediflow Water Pillow to my patients dealing with cervicogenic headaches and neck pain. The pillow's unique water-filled layer offers customizable support, allowing users to adjust firmness to their preference, which can significantly improve neck alignment and reduce discomfort. I purchased this pillow in 2017 and continue to use it, and it has proven to be durable and effective. ✅Pros✅ The benefits of this pillow are well-supported by research, including evidence from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Sleep Study, which highlights its positive impact on sleep quality and neck pain relief. ⭕Cons⭕ However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The initial setup can be a bit cumbersome, as it requires adjusting the water to achieve the desired firmness, and it may take some trial and error to get it just right. Additionally, while the water layer provides excellent support, the pillow itself can be somewhat bulky and may not suit everyone’s preference for a softer or more traditional pillow feel. ✨Bottomline✨ Overall, despite these minor drawbacks, the Mediflow Water Pillow remains a highly effective option for managing neck pain and headaches. I regularly direct my patients to purchase it through Amazon for its ease of access and reliable service.

I was a bit sceptical about this but have spent a small fortune on various pillows to try and relieve my neck pain. This pillow is amazing! It was a bit fiddly to fill and I struggled to get the air out to stop the sloshing but once that was sorted I haven't looked back. I am mainly a side sleeper but have been waking up in the night with neck pain and trying to sleep on my back - then I have to change pillows to go with the sleep position. This pillow has sorted all that malarkey out! I'm sleeping so much better and not waking with neck pain. Very pleased indeed :-)

Possibly the best pillow ever invented. I had the same pillow when it first came out about 9years ago (it's a guess) and after 5 years and me being awkward i burst it. So I then spent approx £400+ on various pillows for severe neck pain, insomnia and migraines. Now it doesn't 'cure' any of these but it sure does makes things less uncomfortable. It's super supportive and extremely comfortable. It's not hard like some pillows that make you hear your own heart beat. It's not super soft that your head hits the mattress through it. It moulds to your shape. You can push your shoulder into it and it'll form a support around your neck and scalp. If you fill it correctly you won't hear the slushy noise when your lying on it but if you physically move it by hand you'll hear water so don't be alarmed. It recommend 4-5 litres of water for firm and i actually went above this, I'd guess 6 litres in mine and that's perfect for me. I can't recommend this pillow enough. One of the pillows I previously purchased was £120 so this was a bargain.

The pocket that can be filled with water allows one to control the height and firmness of the pillow while the very soft top filling provides comfort. I am a side sleeper but I believe it would be great for all. Obviously it is heavy and one must remove water before transporting. This is easily done, but measure the amount which is just right for you .

This pillow has helped me sleep comfortably with spinal degenerative disease. Aligns well, easy to find your preferred comfort level while adjusting water level. Price was great. Pillow has lasted a few years and is holding up great. Is very heavy when full of water.

EDITED: After reading about 10 recent reviews I had to edit this one. It is NOT HEAVY.. Actually if you ever had a FIRM Down Pillow I would say the weight is about the same. Swing it around in a pillow fight. Why would you want to do that to a GOOD Pillow that is for sleeping. Want to pillow fight have another polyester or down pillow on bed for that. Propping up in bed. As one reviewer said, Have a couple of NON SLEEP pillows on bed for that. Although I do not find this pillow to be that heavy I would not abuse it by using it for propping. The pillow kept its height and shape all night and look pretty much like it did before I slept on it. I found that I did not have to sleep with my hand under it to prop my head up. My head rested on it as it should and wrapped around my neck supporting my neck. I find to get full support you must make sure the bottom of it is above your shoulders and not under them. Bottom Line, every one has an opinion and knows what works for them and their sleep problems. I do not see this pillow leaking in the near future if treated well. I am a back, side and stomach sleeper and it worked well with any position I was in last night. Great head and neck support and just what it is supposed to do. ORIGINAL Review: I got the product yesterday and could not wait to use it last night. Been waking up in the morning for months with stiff neck and terrible headaches. Although my neck is still a little stiff it is not as stiff as sleeping with out the pillow and headache is gone... I really do feel alot better and more able to face the world this morning. i filled it to medium but think that I might try the firm in a week or so . i slept on a waterbed for years and loved it . But can't risk putting it in the trailer I am living in now. Will definitely assemble it once I finish my Wood frame house. There is just nothing better for a good rest than a waterbed. Would always recommend that there be a regular bed in the spare room for anything but sleep, If you get my drift. Again this pillow is great and i anticipate my neck and headache to disappear soon. Only thing I could recommend to make this pillow 100% perfect is to do the filling with wool instead of polyester fiber polyester fibers do not hold up as well and do not breathes.. Wool breathes and stay cooler than anything else. They say that you can wash and dry the pillow (minus the water, LOL) but I would not recommend that.. I got a pillow protector and with the added pillow case you should have a great feeling and looking pillow for years to come.
