The previous review stated it felt like a rock...obviously they put too much water in there! The beauty of this pillow is that you can adjust the firmness by removing or adding water. I love mine but after a while the padding (just like all other pillows) does start to wear out. My hubby went back to his old foam thing. It takes a while to get used to the slosh sound...don't care how much you try to get the air out of the water cavity you just can't get it all. But after a while you don't hear it and it is extremely comfortable.

However, I do also like my therapeutic pillow. I need a firm base with very soft cushion around and that is what I liked about this pillow. My downside is the padding wearing out and the fact that it is difficult to find just the right amount of water to meet your needs.

I do recommend this pillow to others.

My boyfriend had bought two water pillows prior to dating me. He raved about how good they were and how great they were for you. The first night I used it I HATED it! It feels like you are sleeping on a rock covered with a little padding! You can't move it around through out the night because how heavy it is. The heaviness is also inconvient when you are making the bed. I had to have him lift them off the bed cause how heavy they were. We tried opening them back up to let some water out and couldn't get either open. Every morning after I used this pillow I got up with a headache. It was annoying headache that lasted through out the day. I finally couldn't take it anymore and told him I was going to bye a new pillow for myself. After all his claims and raves about this pillow he said "Oh can you get me one too this thing feels like sleeping on a rock!" Don't waste your money!

It was great in the beginning, but as I have been using it more - the stuffing has become compact and therefore less full. As a result, I keep adding more water. I'm pretty sure I have exceeded the limit of water that should go in - and I may regret it!

I used this pillow in the past for a long time. When it aged and needed replacement, I decided to try some other pillows. I tried the shaped foam, both latex and regular and also another pillow with a water bladder that had a molded padding. Nothing has ever been as comfortable. I have cervical spine degeneration and this pillow helps my neck wake up feeling good. One big key indicator to me is how long does it take to get comfortable and fall asleep. With the other pillows I kept repositioning my head. With the Mediflow pillow I easily get comfortable and usually fall asleep within minutes! The padding is soft, but supportive, so I don't feel like it is putting pressure on any part of my head or face. My husband loves this pillow too!

I guess I just don't get it. It is a nice pillow, but I don't feel the water does anything for me. and of course it makes your pillow heavy, and you hear the sloshing water (I can't get every little bubble out). I liked it as much as I like any pillow when it is new. the one good thing is that when the poly fill flattens out, you can add more water so you're not sleeping on a pancake. So, as far as pillows go, it is great. but as far as $45 pillows go, I guess I can only give it 2 stars. Wish I would have only bought one and tested it before buying the second.

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.

I've bought therapeutic pillows out the wazoo and this is the final one, its great! Its so comfortable that I don't need to keep adjusting it to get to sleep - and I wake up refreshed and without neck pain.
I read CT scans, etc, on a computer monitor for long hours and I've had neck stiffness for years. It really got sore after several days of work and my sleep was less and less peaceful the more I worked.
This pillow has made a tremendous difference. I had to buy another for my husband since he tried to borrow it many times after using it once for a nap!
Well worth the price.

I spent 2 weeks researching for the best pillow for my husband whos neck pain is getting so bad he can no longer sleep at night. So I needed to do something fast but also wanted to be sure that the pillow would do the job. I finally came here and read all the reviews (which helped me so much that I ordered it right then!) It was the best purchase I ever made!! My husband finally can sleep & sleep well with hardly no neck pain at all!! Please trust these reviews & buy this pillow!! I will be buying another for myself!!

I am a younger mom of 3 who was in a pretty severe car accident and had many, many injuries including a broken neck! After many sleepless nights, my chiropractor suggested the use of this pillow and I have slept very soundly since then! It is a terrific pillow and I highly recommned it to everyone! My whole family loves it too!!
