I bought two pillows for my wife and I. We used them for a week, and then I bought three more for family Christmas gifts. I suggest using warm water and a little bleach in a clean milk jug. Lay the pillow on a hard surface, like a table, and with the fill tube inserted, fill with the water solution. After filling, carefully push down on the sides and move your hands towards the fill hole, until all of the air is gone. Remove the fill tube, while watching the water level, keeping it just below the pillow's surface and install the cap. This will prevent air pockets and water sloshing, while you lay your head on it. It may take two or three tries to get the right feel you're looking for, but it's well worth it. The best part of these pillows is that they stay basically in one spot all night because of the water weight, and there is no fluffing involved. By far, the best pillows I've ever owned.
In the past year, I realized that I was having back and neck pain due to my pillow. I'm in my late 20's, and have never had this problem before. I've gone thru a lot of pillows recently. I started out trying traditional pillows from target for side sleepers/back sleepers and just getting a new one every 2 months or so when it got too squished down for me.
The last one I tried was the Homedics HMP-TRCL Temp-Rite 4 Lb. Density Classic Pillow, and I was really hoping it was "the one" -I'm starting to feel like the goldilocks of pillows. It wasn't and my neck pain upon waking got worse. It was a great pillow until it squished down with body warmth and left you with no neck support. So..on to the next! I saw this water pillow as the #1 of the top 'popular' pillows recommended in an online news story. I was willing to give away my first born(ok, so I don't plan on having any kids, but I figured I could promise it despite that, right?) for a good nights sleep, so I ordered the mediflow water pillow.
When it arrived -I was like 'huh, this seems like a normal cheap pillow' with just the puffy fill, no feathers or anything. Then I started putting water in. The bottom of the pillow is the water pouch, where the entire top is the actual pillow. All in all, I wasn't overly impressed, but like I said before, I'll try anything. And yes, this sucker is heavy.
Usually my first night with a new pillow is extremely uncomfortable, with this one, I actually slept thru the night. I did need to adjust the water a little, I had filled it to the brim, and took out just a cup or two. I think I'm in the firm category that they mention on the instructions. I also added the McKenzie® Cervical Roll Neck Support which I found here on Amazon. It adds to the firm neck support, which is just what I needed. Together, it's the perfect match for me.
Now for the MAGIC: this week I've been waking up an hour or two earlier. And feeling...awake. not groggy and in pain. I think this might be the pillow. Because I'm sleeping soundly throughout the night, I reach my sleep limit earlier. I don't use an alarm clock, so I just get up whenever I naturally wake up(I work from home), which is usually 8:30. I've been waking up at 6:30 and then figuring I can squeeze in another hour, so I go back to sleep till 7:30.
I'm so happy with this pillow right now, and for 35 bucks, it was definitely worth a shot!! If you're having neck and back pain, I know you're at the brink like I was. Don't bother promising your first born(or 2nd or 3rd) to anyone, just buy this pillow. =)
Buy Mediflow Water Based Pillow - 2 Pack Now
I've tried many different pillows and never could find one that was comfortable no matter how i slept ( on my side or on my back ). This pillow solves that issue.
I've had problems with neck pain and i've notice a decrease in pain since using this pillow. Yes, it is heavy with the water inside but it also tends to not move around on the bed though either when you are sleeping. I roll alot and sleep both on my side and back. The pillow stays in the same place, provides equall, comfortable support no matter how my head is on it. It naturally adjusts to the pressure you put on it. And if the water is on the cool side when you put your head on it, it does warm up fairly quickly and retains the heat that radiates from your head, there by keeping you a little warmer at night. I have very short hair so in winter, it definitely helps keeping my head warm and comfortable.
Compared to other pillows out there, i'm sticking with this one from now on.

As we all know, shopping for a new pillow is extremely difficult and frustrating. My husband and I have purchased new pillows several times only to find that we absolutely hate them after trying to sleep with them.
The great thing about the water pillow is that you can adjust the firmness by adjusting the amount of water you add. I LOVE my Mediflow pillow and have used it for several years. This is the best pillow I have ever owned!

I love this pillow. I have had one for the last 8 years. This is the replacement. The second pillow was a gift.
My only issue is that I am now recieving spam emails about back and neck injuries, surgical law suits and health news. Since I have never received these types of emails before I can only assume that this vendor has provided my email address to someone. This is not appreciated.

This item worked beautifully for my daughter's wedding! I filled the bottom with silk rose petals, and tied a large matching organza bow to the top circle, and it was beautiful! It held LOTS of cards, as it is pretty big. I highly recommend this.
