Mediflow Inc. IWP149 Chiroflow Waterbase Travel Pillow

I already have the full sized mediflow pillow and in fact have gone through two already. This is a great pillow if you have neck pain or headaches. Soft enough to be comfortable and the water pillow insert really conforms to your neck. May have to play around with the amount of water at first.

The travel size is a nice option if you don't want to lug your regular pillow around. I hate hotel pillows anyway!

PS..I don't think this pillow was meant to sit on!

I purchased this pillow after borrowing my friend's Chiro pillow, which she purchased from her Chiropractor. I knew that I needed one for my neck pain and it has been extremely helpful. In addition to this, I've also gone to Physical therapy and traction, but this pillow has helped a lot.

I purchased 2 of the Mediflow Chiroflow Travel Pillows for my husband because he snores. We have special pillows we use for our own bed at home, but none we specifically take along with us when we travel to offset his snoring. Often we stay in places where there are plenty of pillow choices, and we supplement with at least 2 of our own pillows, and more if needed!

We have larger versions of types of "Chiro" pillows, but they're not the brand "mediflow" or "chiroflow". They are "waterpillows" which are supposed to be for snoring/apnea/and pain, they fill the same way, have the same manner of filling with water, feel similar when filled/held, the pictures of the pillows appear to be the same except for how they're sewn to cradle the head, and/or the top layer of material. They appear to be much the same except for their size, "brand", AND our larger pillows can be comfortably slept on w/out water and you'd think you we're sleeping on a medium-soft front sleeping pillow.

I purchased all of these as I understood the idea to be that as you fill the pillow with water, as the pillow fills, depending on the person, at differing levels the pillow will cradle the head in a position that inhibits snoring/neck pain depending on the pillow. I don't know how well that's working for others, but it's not working so well for my husband.

We started the first night at a "base level" of a minimal amount of water, and gradually added water to the point where the pillow was full we finally could add no more water.

My husband has no problem falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping through the night. What's concerning to me is that he snores, sometimes so badly that he has apnea, and neither of us noted any difference in that. I could tell because I stay up later, and we put a monitor on him. My husband could tell tell whether or not he'd experienced periods of apnea by the way he'd feel the following day. We kept separate notes and then would compare notes.

During the time he was using the Mediflow Pillows we compared notes every day just to see if there was any difference while using the pillows, and we didn't note there was any difference between the Mediflow Chiroflow Pillows and the pillows we normally use which are 1 medium soft foam rubber, and 1 memory foam. I also place 1 firm pillow behind his back to help prevent him from rolling over on his back which would help prevent snoring, but he still manages to roll. He also places a memory foam pillow between his lower legs for comfort.

My husband is very tall, not at all over weight, & other than the apnea he's very healthy. He also eats a healthy diet, drinks only water during the day, has an occasional beer or wine cooler, doesn't smoke, but has a pretty stressful management job.

One of the things we both noticed about the Mediflow Chiroflow Pillows was that after the pillows had water in them for several weeks, they started smelling badly of mildew or mold, & we weren't traveling in a high humidity area. And, even before the pillows began to smell my husband and I started waking up in the mornings with headaches and stuffed up noses. We're both allergic to mildew and mold. I checked the pillows for leaks, and wasn't able to find anything, and the pillows weren't damp.

I emptied the pillows, washed them, let them dry, and they seemed fine. We started again with our next trip, but after a period of time, again they began to smell. Because we're both allergic to mold and mildew, we decided it just wasn't worth waking up with headaches and stuffy noses, esp. since he wasn't seeing any benefit.

For lack of effectiveness in helping with my husbands snoring, and the bad smell of the Mediflow Chiroflow travel pillows over a period of weeks I took off two stars.

I left it a 3 star rating because, even tho' the pillows are listed under "Snore Relief Pillows", I'm not sure if they're actually supposed to be listed as snore relief pillows, or if they're really just for cervical neck pain, and not snore relief. I don't want to rate something 1 or 2 stars when it deserves a higher rating perhaps a 3 5 for cervical neck pain relief.

The idea of this pillow is good as well as the pillow itself. I was a bit disappointed to not find any readable measurements on the website before I ordered it. I was hoping to be able to use it with some air travel that I do, but it is too big for that. When I went to return it, I found out that shipping costs back to the company were at least $10.00, so I was forced keep it. It's a great pillow for car travel and my husband likes being able to adjust the thickness of it. I am not unhappy with the pillow, I do wish it could have been used for the intended purpose.
