Mediflow Elite Collection Water Pillow - Orthopedic Neck Pain Relief Adjustable for Sleeping Single White

my husband and I have been on the search for the best pillow for a very long time. We have bought so many expensive pillows. It is ridiculous and we have them stored all over the house because there have many so many that we have tried and thought we would love, but after a while, they became uncomfortable. This Medi flow elite pillow is fabulous. I love that I can adjust the furnace of the pillow based on how much water I put in it. It did take me a little time to get the right amount so that it wasn’t too firm. It doesn’t go flat like other pillows usually do and the support is amazing! Before using this I was having a lot of neck and head pain from my previous expensive pillow to the point where it made me unable to sleep sometimes, but this pillow has been the best I have ever tried by far. We also have the Medi flow original pillow, and it is awesome as well, but the filling on this elite version is amazing so high-quality so luxurious if you think it’s expensive, the quality and comfort justify the price and if you’re someone that has a hard time feeling comfortable and finding a pillow that you like, you know that a good night sleep with great comfort is worth the price especially considering I think this is so well-made and durable that it will last for a long time. If I had known it would be this amazing I would have even paid more for it. Highly highly recommend. Read more

I have had long time neck pain and issues that make it very hard for me to sleep at night. I was on a desperate search to find a solution to the normal pillow and the usual "U" shaped pillows that are readily available at every store known to man. I have used so many of those over the years that claim to help neck pain. None do. They only take the pressure off of the area for a short period of time until you have to rearrange the pillow again....all night long. Of course, when I read about this pillow I thought it would be much the same thing, a promised solution with the same result - tossing and turning and rearranging the pillow all night. Also, it seemed very weird to me that I would be filling a pillow with water. But I slept on a waterbed for about 20 years so the concept at least made a little bit of sense to me. So at the desperate point I was at I was willing to try almost anything. I read all of the reviews and watched a video on youtube. It was explained that the theory was the water in the pillow would keep my head aligned at the right angle and that is what would help the pain. So not long after that I had my pillow. Wow! I know this is hard to believe, but that first night was the first night I did not lay there and roll the pillow over hundreds (okay, I exaggerate, let's estimate, into the 20's of times) all night long. And the next morning was the first time in a very long time that I had woken up without severe pain in my neck. My husband was amazed. He has seen me buy so many pillows and things over the years he really did think this would be just one more addition to the pillow graveyard in our house. Not so! This one is a keeper. I did adjust the water level about a month after I got it. I added about 4 more ounces of water. I think that the bladder of the pillow may stretch and adjust a bit after you start using it for a while. One side of the pillow is where the bladder, or plastic side holding the water is, and is where the spout is to pour the water in. The spout will lay flat inside the pillow. The other side of the pillow is like a traditional pillow with stuffing/padding. This will be the side you sleep on. It is comfortable and I have had no issues sleeping on it. You can hear a slight water sound when you are moving the pillow around on your bed. But you should not be hearing water moving around while you are just sleeping on the pillow. While filling the pillow you will be pressing the bladder gently to remove the air bubbles. If you remove the air bubbles there should not be an excessive amount of sloshing around inside your pillow. I purchased a cover for my pillow. The Insta Comfort Allergy Pillow Covers in Queen Size fit this pillow. Some have mentioned this pillow being heavy. It is heavier than a regular pillow. However, when we went out of town I took my pillow. It was no problem to take along. And there was no chance on earth that I was going to take using another pillow and letting my neck get back in the shape it was before. And trust me, even one night on the wrong pillow can do that. Those of you with neck issues can relate to that statement! I am not going to claim that I am pain free in my neck, however, if they could make this pillow for the back and I had that much relief for my back too I would be in great shape. I would rate the level of improvement from a scale of 1-10 1 being the less and 10 being the best, as a 7. That is pretty good relief from just a pillow. Also, I would like to point out that this is a review for the Mediflow ELITE Pillow. There is another Mediflow pillow, the Original: https://www.amazon.com/Mediflow-1006-06-Original-Waterbase-Pillow/dp/B003J372NS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499315390&sr=8-1&keywords=mediflow The dimensions are different. The dimensions for the Original Pillow are 28 x 20 x 4.5 The dimensions for the ELITE are 28 x 20 x 7 inches Notice that the ELITE is thicker. Also, the Original states is has a ONE Year Warranty. The ELITE states is has a THREE Year Warranty. For the reasons mentioned I bought the ELITE pillow. Read more

I have waited a little while to write a review on this pillow. I wanted to sleep on it for more than a week before I would give an opinion on it. It's been a month, and I LOVE it!! It has been a great pillow so far. I did read others reviews before purchasing it. They were very helpful and I appreciated all of them. I will say that I too suffer from neck pain and really wanted this pillow to help. So far the pain has decreased, but is not completely gone. I do feel the pillow is the reason for the decrease. I have awoken quite a few mornings to find that I am in the same position that I was in when I fell asleep. I will agree with others that the pillow is heavy when filled with water and it makes sloshing noises when I pick it up. However, I am not walking around with the pillow and I only hear the sloshing if I pick it up or roll on to my side. Like I mentioned before, I haven't been moving around a lot in my sleep so I have not been bothered by the sloshing noise. I will say that I followed the instructions that came with the pillow and decided to add only the amount of water to make it soft. I figured it was easier to add more water than to take it away. I'm glad I started with it on soft because I felt like the top part of the pillow was a bit fluffy when I first got it. After sleeping on it for a bit, I found that it went down a little and was then able to add a little more water to get it where I wanted it. Hopefully this is helpful to whoever reads this. If you decided to buy this pillow, I hope you will give it a chance and figure out what works for you. :) Read more
