This is a review of the best water pillow for neck pain. The brand is Mediflow and as you can imagine it’s called a water pillow because water significantly fills the pillow.<\/p>\n

However it is not completely filled with water. The underneath part of the pillow contains a water bladder. The top part of the pillow is filled with a polyester fiber material. In other words the top part of the pillow is essentially a traditional pillow.<\/p>\n

When you have your head on the pillow, the pillow feels a lot like a traditional pillow. The water cushioning effect is subtle, it’s not particularly noticeable.<\/p>\n

The Mediflow water based pillow responds to head movement as you change sleeping positions all night long.<\/p>\n

In a Johns Hopkins University study, the Mediflow water filled pillow was ranked best of all pillows tested in every category, including how fast subjects fell asleep, how few times they woke up, the overall quality of sleep and neck pain relief.<\/p>\n

In terms of advantages, a water filled pillow has the advantages of a waterbed and that is the pillow will automatically adjust to the shape and the contour of your head and neck and it will maintain proper alignment of your head and neck without resulting in any pressure points.<\/p>\n

Another major advantage of the pillow is that the water level is adjustable through a cap. You can add or take out water and by doing this, you can adjust both the height and the firmness of the pillow.<\/p>\n

This is important. Particularly the height aspect is important, because if you don’t have the proper height to suit your particular needs, your head and neck can be out of alignment and this can result in headaches, neck pains and sleeplessness.<\/p>\n

In terms of disadvantages, there really aren’t any that stand out, at least in our opinion.<\/p>\n

This pillow is probably not good for stomach sleepers. It is possible to use if your head is on the edge, but the water in the pillow tends to make the pillow too high for a stomach sleeper.<\/p>\n

Another possible disadvantage is that the pillow is heavy. If you have a bad back or something, dealing with this pillow could be a problem.<\/p>\n

However on the upside, a heavy pillow will stay in place on your bed during the night. It’s not gonna fall off.<\/p>\n

So it could be a disadvantage or an advantage.<\/p>\n

We were not expecting to like this water based pillow because it looked like a traditional pillow and we thought the water was a gimmick. But we were surprised that it was very comfortable.<\/p>\n

The idea here is that your head rests on the pillow and the water gets displaced and comes up and gives your neck support. It works very well and we found it very comfortable.<\/p>\n
