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. =)

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 purchased the Mediflow Water Based Pillows (2-pack) as a Christmas gift for my sister and brother-in-law and they love them so much I am going to purchase some for myself. They say these are the best pillows they've ever had and find the ability to adjust the water pillow to their own preferences especially great. Ordering from HPMS via Amazon was easy and the shipment arrived right on schedule.

The Mediflow Water-Based Pillow is the best pillow investment I have ever made. Both my husband and I had suffered from neck pain, undoubtedly from sleeping on expensive down pillows and other costly weird-shaped pillows that were supposed to be "THE cure," but after making this purchase, NO more neck pain...I mean, instantly! Each of us adjusted our pillows to our comfort level by adding or decreasing water, marked them "MOM" and "DAD," and have had a problem getting up ever since...that's how comfortable they are. We absolutely LOVE 'em!

My wife and I purchased these pillows for Christmas and we're very happy we did, no more neck pain and a much better sleep for both of us.

I highly recommend this product.

I had purchased one of these pillows from my chiropractor. He really made me pay up for his. I paid almost 3 times the price I paid from Amazon. But I guess someone has to support him.

About the Pillow-- it is very comfortable. I'm not sure how the water in the base really helps, but the ability to adjust the height with water is nice. I used to like the adjustablility of down/feather pillows, but they had to be "fluffed" constantly. This pillow gets crushed from my head on one side, but each night I just flip it around so that it feels fresh again.

Ordered a 2 pack, only received a single pillow...which upon being filled the first time, found it leaked terribly. Best I could get was a 1/2 refund for the one that never arrived since the leaking pillow was "used". So much for consumer protection and refunds for defective products. Do not buy ANYTHING from this company, especially this product, unless you want to lose your money. You'd have better odds at Vegas getting your money back.

My boyfriend has serious back and neck issues after having surgery several years ago, and he is always incredibly uncomfortable at night and has a difficult time falling asleep. After tons of research, I found these pillows to have the best reviews by a long shot. And trust me, if you have a partner - get the two pack, otherwise you are going to be jealous and buy one soon after!

Yes, it's a pain filling it up, but it's worth it. Just keep adjusting it until you get it exactly how you like it. It may take a few days to get it just right. They are also heavy! You could probably use one as a weapon if someone broke in. My boyfriend's pillow weighs about eight pounds. Also, I see that a lot of complaints are about the water sloshing. You HAVE to follow the instructions to prevent the sloshing. Also, I highly recommend the Mediflow Quilted Pillow Covers. It is very comfortable and will definitely reduce any sloshing, but there shouldn't really be any if you fill it correctly. PLUS, the good side is that the pillow is heavy and doesn't move much, so sloshing is minimum. If that's why you gave it 1 or 2 stars, you didn't fill follow the instructions right. Ask someone else to do it for you (hey, I wasn't so good at it either. Needed the boyfriend's help). Not to mention, it feels so good that you'll probably fall asleep instantly anyway.

My boyfriend noticed effects immediately. He wakes up much less during the night and his neck feels much better in the morning. These are basically luxurious water pillows, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone, especially if you are suffering from neck issues! Don't damage your neck any longer by using a shoddy pillow, when you can buy two of these for a great price.
