 Down & Water! Sep 10, 2011
By ten c's
I had no idea that such a great product was out there. The softness of the down and the heaviness of the water are terrific. My husband and I each have one and with the sleep number bed we really get proper rest.

Saves Me from Having a Pain in the Neck Mar 24, 2012
By J. Friedman
"J-F"
I started using Mediflow pillows about 5 years ago, on the advice of my orthopedist/physiatrist. I have some arthritic buildup in my cervical spine, which causes headaches that radiate all around the back of my head. He recommended the Mediflow pillow, and it's given me outstanding results.
I'm on my second down pillow. The first one softened up after 3+ years and wasn't providing the same support anymore, so I ordered a new one and it's been great. I also decided to try the foam version, which is much cheaper than the down version. I found that pillow to be too high for me. It didn't give way as much as the down does, and I was getting headaches again with it. The silver lining to that cloud is that I now use the foam Mediflow during the winter as a body pillow, with the water-filled bladder facing my body. It heats up to my body temperature and feels great, especially on a cold morning. And then I also bought the travel-sized pillow for when I go on the road. So I have experience with a total of 4 Mediflow pillows, and, contrary to what some others have written in the various Mediflow product reviews here, I have never had one leak.
So, back to the down pillow. When you get it, you have to experiment to find the right amount of water for your comfort. It takes a few tries, but once you get it right, it provides an amazing amount of gentle support. It cradles your neck, and the water helps it conform to your own neck/spinal curve. For greater comfort, I highly recommend the quilted pillow protector. It's sold separately on Amazon, but I noticed one of the vendors sells the pillow and protector as a package for an attractive price. The pillow protector adds a little more soft cushioning, plus it's hand-washable so you can keep the surface clean.
The other thing I strongly recommend is that you take a little extra time to carefully squeeze the air out of the bladder before putting the cap back on after filling it with water. If you don't do that, you're probably going to hear water sloshing around as you move your head around on the pillow. Squeeze as much air out as possible and you'll be fine.

 Mildew Mess! Aug 10, 2011
By stephen smith
Works for a few weeks, and then the leaking starts. You will end up with a mildewed mess. Just slow enough that you do not notice until you go to change the pillow case and or the cover you may place on it. Caused my wife headaches and sinus issues. Threw it way! Company would replace, but wanted the pillow back. We tossed the molded mess. My receipt was not good enough. Stay away from this junk.
