Mediflow Waterbase Pillow - White
 |
|
 This pillow is OK...but only just OK, March 23, 2008
We originally purchased this pillow for my husband, who has spinal stenosis in his neck and for the past 20 years has used a plain foam cervical (contour) pillow. Because we can no longer find plain foam cervical pillows, we decided to try the Mediflow pillow. We spent nearly 3 weeks tinkering with the water fill amount and were never able to find a comfortable level for him. Furthermore, he suffered a string of 5 migraines during this period. We finally gave up and are now looking again for a plain foam cervical pillow.
Meanwhile, not wanting to throw away a $50 pillow, I decided to try it myself. I am a side sleeper and have great difficulty finding pillows with sufficient loft to keep my neck in the correct position. The problem with the Mediflow pillow is that adding water does not increase the *loft*, it merely increases the *firmness* of the support. So, while I am successfully using the Mediflow pillow for now, the truth is it, for me, is simply a moderately-firm pillow without sufficient loft to keep my neck in a neutral position. I probably will eventually switch to a traditional pillow with high loft. (The best pillow for side sleepers used to be the Beautyrest Ultimate Support, but sadly this pillow was discontinued several years ago.)
Unless you are truly desperate for a pillow with adjustable firmness, I wouldn't recommend the Mediflow. It's basically just a very expensive gadget. We certainly won't be buying another one.
