Mediflow Original Fibre: The First & Original Water Pillow, clinically Proven to Reduce Neck Pain & Improve Sleep. Therapeutic, Ideal for People Looking for Proper Neck Support (Single)

Possibly the best pillow ever invented. I had the same pillow when it first came out about 9years ago (it's a guess) and after 5 years and me being awkward i burst it. So I then spent approx £400+ on various pillows for severe neck pain, insomnia and migraines. Now it doesn't 'cure' any of these but it sure does makes things less uncomfortable.It's super supportive and extremely comfortable. It's not hard like some pillows that make you hear your own heart beat. It's not super soft that your head hits the mattress through it. It moulds to your shape. You can push your shoulder into it and it'll form a support around your neck and scalp. If you fill it correctly you won't hear the slushy noise when your lying on it but if you physically move it by hand you'll hear water so don't be alarmed. It recommend 4-5 litres of water for firm and i actually went above this, I'd guess 6 litres in mine and that's perfect for me.I can't recommend this pillow enough. One of the pillows I previously purchased was £120 so this was a bargain.

IN BRIEF:- My neck and shoulder pain have gone- It's good quality and value for the price- Incredibly comfortable once you get used to the slight water motion- Take care to squeeze all the air out and tighten the stopper with the provided tool- Don't make the same dumb mistake I did at first - the stopper side goes on the underside, the pillow just lies much better that way and won't bunch under your neck.***************Having been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for quite some time I felt I should probably try a new pillow to see if it helps, I was just wary of buying one too firm or too soft. When I saw this one recommended for neck pain and the fact it can be adjusted to suit by adding more water for a firmer pillow I decided to take a chance on it.Filling it is fairly simple. I gradually added more water till it suited me. If you've ever squeezed the air out of a hot water bottle then you have to do the same thing with this. It's made a little trickier by the bulk of the pillow, but for most this won't be a difficult task. Some may need a hand due to the weight of it when full.I found it VERY odd to sleep on for about a fortnight or so. You do feel a bit of wave motion when you move through the night, but I did get used to it and I now find the motion quite pleasant. One thing I didn't realise is there's a top side and a bottom side. As I was nervous about it leaking or bursting at first I had it with the stopper on the top side. I found this made the pillow slope and wedge under my neck quite uncomfortably. Once I realised it actually lies much, much better the other way with the stopper underneath (and there's a nice plump pillowy bit on top) - the difference was like night and day! It seems so obvious now and a really stupid mistake, but I suspect I'm not the only person to have done this. I don't mind sharing my dumb error if it helps someone else have a better night's sleep.I've had it for over a month now and my neck and shoulder pain has now completely gone! This was pain that I'd had continuously for several months so I feel I can safely say it's entirely down to the change of pillow as nothing else had been helping. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'm having the absolutely best nights sleep in my life (there are so many other factors), but it has undoubtedly improved my comfort and I no longer wake in agony. I gather it hasn't helped everyone with pain issues, but I felt it was worth trying it anyway and I'm glad I did.I saw a review saying it was cheap quality, but I couldn't disagree more. Of course, it's not a £100 top of the range orthopaedic pillow, but it's far from cheap quality - and I've had more than my fair share of cheap (like Wilko/Poundstretcher cheap) pillows over the years! It's very good value for the price imo.

Love this pillow. Have tried more than I wish to remember for neck and head support, all being resigned to the loft for not wanting to dispose of new items. I have tried what feels like most pillows on the market which is I admit is probably an overstatement but so frustrating. The first night of using this was bliss, so comfortable and soft but very supportive. You can fill the level of water for "soft" "medium"or "hard" support, up to 5 litres of water which fills an underneath pocket next to the mattress that reaches the whole pillow base, topped inside the outer upper cover with soft but effective filling, it is like sleeping on air, it comes with a filler stopper which is easily screw removed with the provided tool, a funnel to fill which also doubles as a tightening screw stopper, once in the pillow case is not noticeable and lies snugly into the pillow. I have experimented with the water fill and have found that 4.5lt is perfect for me, however I would not say this is the usual uncomfortable level of firm/hard support but exactly what you need for good support whilst providing softness and comfort which a lot of other pillows don't, they just feel like sleeping on some sort of hard filling. Every time you move the pillow moves with you smoothly to contours of the head and neck, always changing shape never needing "plumping up", it maintains it's movement and as the water provides a lot of additional weight to the pillow you are not chasing it round the bed all night, it stays in place. Some reviews have said you can hear the water sloshing round on movement, if you follow the simple instructions and expel the air before securing the stopper after there is no noise on movement. I have had the best nights sleep in I don't know how long and neck and shoulder pain is much reduced. Have now ordered another for my husband. Would recommend. I would also add the pillow is very well made of high standard material and robust. Fits standard size pillow cases. Great for taking away with you as the inner can be emptied and refilled on arrival with tap water, instructions recommend replacing water after one year so low maintenance. To add my sleeping position varies from side sleeping on either side, to on my front with arm under pillow to on my back, all equally comfortable.
