We review a good range of items here, but I’d say that the majority are for the children, or the home, and are very rarely of direct benefit or interest to the Husband. Until now.
When Mediflow got in touch with me, asking if I’d be interested in reviewing one of their pillows, I rejoiced – I kid you not! Not only would I have something that the Husband would benefit from, but if all went well, I’d also be able to stop pillow-shopping every few months, too.
I am fortunate, it seems, as I can sleep on any pillow provided. I don’t think that this is a product aimed at me. I prefer 2 pillows, but if it’s one, then fine, I’ll still sleep and I’ll be OK the next day. The Husband is a different case entirely. He has to have two, and he is particular about them. If the kids have been messing about on our bed and our pillows have been swapped over, I wouldn’t notice, but he will spot it within a second! Oh, and when we go on holiday, it’ll take him a night or two to get the right pillow combination! We also seem to end up searching for that ‘perfect pillow’ every few months, that will be just the right density for him, and will ensure he doesn’t wake up with neck ache. So, it’d be fair to say, never has he been more interested in the arrival of a review item…
On arrival, it pretty much looks like any other pillow, until you open it up and find these instructions..
OK, so that’s not standard with a pillow! The Husband likes a firm pillow, so there was a lot of water adding..
Once he’d put enough in, the blue nozzle that you see there is unscrewed and you plug the pillow up. He assures me you can’t feel the little plug when you lie on it. Obviously, Boo had to test it out…
There is quite a bit of water in it now, so it is very heavy, not that that’s a problem. It’s just strange to get used to moving a very heavy, sloshing pillow.
Since his first night of sleeping on it, he’s added more water to it a couple of times, to get it to the right firmness for him. That’s his favourite feature, the fact that it can be readily adjusted to get the perfect density for his comfort. He also imagines that as it’s water, over time, the pillow won’t get a dent in it from where he lies, which can also make it uncomfortable. He’s been sleeping well with this one from the start, so it gets a thumbs up from him, both in terms of comfort and, he hopes, longevity.
So as happy as we are with this product, I’m really pleased to be able to offer one of these up for a give-away, too, thanks to Mediflow. The give-away ends 25th June 2014, open to UK residents only. Good luck!
What do you think? Have you tried one of these?
Disclosure: I received a Mediflow pillow FOC for the purposes of this review, but all words and opinions remain my own (or my husband’s).
can you lukewarm water – sounds great for the winter 🙂
I like a firm pillow but my partner likes soft it’s nice you can have both x
Sound like a great idea, as can have the pillow to your own desired firmness
I love the thought of adding warm water too great for Winter or if you have aching shoulder and neck! This is the first time I have ever heard of thee pillow types!
Just sounds really comfortable.
Fab review. I have never heard of a water pillow but the concept is great and sounds like it would great for me and mr p we like completely different stiffness and thickness of pillows. We are always buying and trying new ones to get a good night sleep. #triedtested
Yes, my husband is seemingly ever forever on the lookout for a better pillow, but not any more!
what a different concept, they do look comfy #triedtested
He tells me it is!
It’s so unique and sounds so comfortable 🙂
Ooo this looks great. A very different type of pillow, fab how you can adjust it. Bet your husband is very pleased with it! X
He is very happy!
looks new different and very comfortable
Similar to your husband, mine’s really fussy about pillows. He currently has a feather one which is really heavy and saggy. So this one would be great for him to adapt to his needs
Yes, he really likes that it can be adapted and that it won’t get old and dented. Worth a go for your husband, I’d think x
What a fabulous idea, my other half can only have one pillow…two is just too much! I love the fact that you can add water or take water away to get your perfect firmness…he’s a tricky fellow to please, but I think this would be a winner for him!!
This could be the one!
This sounds lovely and as someone has already said, would be awesome for the colder months. Although I cannot help but feel queasy at the thought of lying on a pillow full of water. Seasick! hahaha! #Triedandtested
Ha ha! I get seasick, but it’s OK – no sloshing about!
Yay! The magic pillow! Looks fab. Weird putting water in. I like a nice pillow. I always struggle with my back so like my bed to be nice and comfy #Tried/Tested xxx
It does seem really odd, but once it’s in, it apparently feels normal and comfortable 🙂
Never heard of a water pillow, would be willing to try it. Go through many pillows trying to find one that’s gives me a good nights sleep.
wow ! whats not to like ! never heard of this before so im in awe!. warm water in winter . great for my girl who suffers from ear problems !
sounds like a really good innovation
i think its a great idea
Sound perfect for individual needs
It sounds and looks really comfy x
We’ve got one of these to review too. So glad that it sounds so good.
#Tried/Tested
Oh yes, be interested to read how you get on then 🙂
To improve my quality of sleep would be great
sounds really comfortable
It sounds great, I like that you can add or remove water until it’s just right 🙂
Love how you can change the firmness of the pillow, great idea!!
this looks fantastic i would love to win this thanks for chance xx
im definitely intrigued and like the idea of adding water
The comfort factor
I like that it’s so easy to adjust to get the right firmness! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
Everything about it sounds good.
I’m intrigued by this product and would really love to try it, as a sleep enthusiast, I think this could be perfect for me! I love how you can change the firmness by adding/taking away water!
The fact it can be adjusted – some nights I have a migraine and want a softer pillow so this would be perfect!
that it is adjustable
I’ve never seen or heard of these before…They sound like a fab idea!!
We hadn’t until the review, and now I’m so glad we have one!
sounds really comfortable would be great for me as i always wake up with a sore ear
They sound really comfy and great you can adjust the firmness!
just love the idea of lying on water – Sounds a brilliant product.
I like how its a constant firmness too, great for any neck or spine problems I too have problems finding the right sleeping position 🙂
It sounds like it would be so supportive and comfortable
Looks comfy and what a unique talking point
sounds fantastic
I love the way you can tailor it to your own needs
I like the idea of adjusting the firmness
love the fact it is adjustable!
i cant wait for ours to arrive now!
Enjoy! x
Great idea would love to try this.
What a strange idea! I think I would be worried about it leaking all over over the bed though.
No leakage – all well! x
I had never heard of those pillows and am intrigued… and also half wondering whether it would leak! Mel
so many benefits, being able to adjust the firmness would be great
Sounds so good to have a pillow that can work for all types of peoples needs
It sounds like a great pillow. I like the way it will stay as firm as you like it.
#Tried&Tested
It’s great for that.
now Im a nightmare with pillows.. I have 6 pillows I sleep almost sitting up as I cant get comfortable lying flat.. my hubby however can have one or no pillows …
I love the fact with this you can adjust firmness.. I love hard pillows and hubby soft .. would love to try this
my pillows always seem to end up flat as pancakes so this sounds great
i love the fact as you can alter the firmness i usually like a hard pillow but when ive a migrane i like them nice and soft
Looks and sounds soooooooo comfortable
sounds very comfortable
I like that you can adjust it to suit your needs, great idea! x
it sounds really cosy
I like the idea that you can keep filling it bit by bit until it gets to the perfect density for you.
I’ve never heard of a water pillow. Do you have to refresh the water fully every so often? I like that you can adjust to suit by adding more water. #TriedTested
It’s advised to refresh it annually so not much maintenance at all.
It sounds awesome! I’m fussy about pillows too, I actually wake Mr B up if he swaps ours round! Love the idea of warm water in the winter too, and I imagine when I wake up in the night and want ‘the cold side’ it will have cooled down enough!
That you can change the density of the pillow using water instead of buying a new pillow.
I need a pillow that supports my head and doesn’t make it achy when i wake up
I like that you can adjust firmness, I like to sleep without a pillow or with a flat one
This looks amazing! I love the concept of amending the amount of water to get the perfect firmness. I really struggle with sleeping, even without an 8 month bump, this I think would really help xx
I like that the pillow is unique, can be filled or emptied to adjust to the sleepers own comfort preference and that if I had one it would be so heavy with water that I would always win in a pillow fight.
how unique and it sounds very comfortable x
I like the idea it could help prevent my waking up with neck pain…every…single…day.
i think its a great idea and love that you can customise to suit the individual by adding the water so its comfortable for you x
I like that it’s a great original pillow and that you add water.
I really like the concept and would love to try it out
It sounds intriguing, I’d love to try it.
I like the fact that you can fill it to what firmness you want.
A very clever idea.
sounds like it is really comfortable
That you can control how firm it is.
I like that, in theory, it should always stay plump? 🙂
I’m forever shuffling my pillows. My physio says to just have one, but I can’t sleep with that flatness.
It sounds really comfortable
Perfect resistance for my neck
The comfort factor is a winner for me
It sounds comfy.could do with one now…it’s nearly 2 am and i can’t sleep 🙁
Can’t tell the time either..its nearly 1 am
It’s unique & can control the firmess
What a good idea, It look so comfy!
What do you like about the Mediflow pillow?
Its adaptability
Unusual idea, but I’d love to give it a go to see how well it supports my neck vs. memory foam
It looks and sounds comfortable
I’m really going to have to invest in one of these
The pillow is really adaptable.
I love the idea of customising my pillow to my own satisfaction – often they’re too soft or too hard, would be nice if it were ‘just right’ a la 3 bears lol!!!
I’m quite fussy with pillows, sometimes I like a firm pillow other nights a soft one so I like the fact it can adjusted to suit my needs!
Oh wow I’d love to try this I’m the same as your hubby & think it would be fab to see if it helped me sleep! x
I like the idea of being able to adjust the support given to your neck and shoulders
for a comfortable nights sleep
Adding more water to get the right firmness is a good idea!
I love pillows and have many on my bed. I would love to try it out. It looks comfortable.
can have it any firmness you like
Looks amazing! Will help with my neck pain 🙂
A good night sleep
the idea of finding the perfect firmness
It’s a great idea
Finding the perfect firmness
It sounds very comfortable
I like how you can adjust the firmness of it
Sounds very comfy x
I have tried many types of pillow but have never seen a water pillow!
I like the fact that you can control the firmness of the pillow.
It’s a great idea, I like the fact that you can make it to suit how you like it, comfort wize.. Fab prize
if it helps me get a full nights sleep great
I have a joint condition and neck pain and this would genuinely help me so much!
The fact how it can be warm, especially for winter!
Love the idea of a warm pillow in the winter
You can adapt the firmness
its very different x a good idea!
Never new water pillows existed until now and I would try anything at the moment to get a good nights sleep
Wow what a great idea! I get chronic neck pain and am always trying new pillows!
Can keep me cool in the summer, I love cold pillows.
sound like its very comftable x
It sounds great that you don’t need to bother the shape of the pillow
that you can adjust the firmness
I have never heard of these before but I imagine they are really comfy as they mold to you!
THE DESIRED FIRMNESS THAT YOU WANT IS A GREAT FEATURE FOR THIS PILLOW 🙂
The fact it reduces neck pain which my husband suffers from.
Everything
Looks good for hot nights in the caravan.
it sounds so warm and comfy x
A real great idea!
I like that you can adjust the firmness as and when it suits you. Sounds great, wonder if its like lying on a lilo!
The fact it won’t lose it’s firmness or shape.
Being able to adjust it for individual comfort.
The face its something different appeals to me. My pillow at present are terrible!
Sounds so comfy!
I like the water concept.
I think these would keep cool in summer – at the moment I’m waking half a dozen times a night and flipping the pillow because I can’t stand it too warm.
Would love to try this pillow, think the way you can fill it to your own firmness requirement is a really good idea. I have spent a small fortune trying to find the correct pillow and the one I have now was great but it’s losing it’s firmness and I dread looking for a replacement.
I like that you can adjust the amount of water to tailor the firmness to your liking
i would love to win one
amazing, never seen anything like this before! would love to try it!
This looks very unique, never heard of a pillow that required a water refill.
That you can choose how firm you want it, and it doesn’t go flat as a pancake after a few sleeps!
It sounds very comfortable!
I like how you can put water into it
If i get thirsty in the night i can just unscrew it and have a little sip!
that it will keep it’s firmness
That it is adjustable
Adding Warm water would be awesome in the winter, however would probably have to fight the wife for it then haha.
I like that it can be adjusted
this seems rather interesting!
The comfortable factor 😀
this looks amazing and I just want to give a try ( as do the rest of the family )
I like the fact that you are in control of the density
Being able to adjust it really does make it pretty awesome! 🙂
Great idea being able to choose your prefered firmness
That it can be adjusted to suit your firmness 🙂
it can be as soft or firm as you want it
The idea of it sounds brilliant! I’ve never managed to find a pillow hard enough that keeps its shape.
Anything that can help with a good nights sleep (sadly lacking these days)
To be able to add the right amount of water for personal comfort I think is a fabulous idea – would so love to try one of these
I like the fact that it would help my aching neck and shoulders
I like that i could have my desired firmness, sometimes 🙂
great for the kids nice and easy process
The ability to adjust its firmness to suite.
I sleep very badly, looks like one of these could be helpful since I often get a stiff neck too.
That the pillow should mould perfectly to your shape therefore giving great support
Looks like it is really comfortable
This looks really different, I like to sleep on a cool firm pillow so it sounds fab
I like that it can be altered so it’s the perfect firmness
looks really comfy
I like the fact that it’s supposed to reduce neck pain. My hubby doesn’t sleep well due to shoulder and neck pain so this would be fantastic for him – it would be good for me too as his wakefullness keeps me awake!
adjustable level of comfort excellent
the support it gives you 🙂
I like the fact that it seems very natural and easy to use.
Looks super comfy and I like how the water can be changed to your own desired amount
I love that you can adjust it for your own comfort
Sounds brill for winter AND summer… Instead of adding warm water in the winter…
What is more irritating than those hot, sleepless nights when you just can’t relax because it’s so hot and humid… Add iced water to it… Bingo…
Really like the idea that you can adjust the firmness
That`s good that you can adjust the firmness to your personal taste.
I like that it is clinically proven to prevent neck pain
i could choose how i wanted it i love a hard pillow!
I like that I can change the density when I like. So useful and I’ve never heard of these before 🙂
WATER Brilliant idea! I really struggle to find a pillow with correct firmness, I would love to win one!
I just like the sound of trying something new, as I’m much like your husband and need a good pillow – or two!
I like a firm pillow
The support it provides to reduce neck pain.
Looks soooo comfortable
It sounds and looks really comfy
That sleeping dents can be shaken out, not like a standard pillow
I do like that you can adjust the firmness
I love the idea of the adjustable firmness.
I’m very particular with pillows as I get neck and headaches if the pillow isn’t right. This looks really interesting and a good for potentially travelling with.
I’m not completely sold on this idea, I can’t get the image of a dodge water bed out of my head and I’m imagining my head rocking about all night and waking up feeling sea sick. I guess I’ll just have to cross my fingers and hope i win so I can try it out myself.
This is a very unique idea – i’ve never heard of it before. However, i suffer with neck and back pain and have spent a fortune on different types of pillows – hopefully this might be ‘the one’ 🙂
I love that you can adjust the firmness to your own liking by adding more water.
I like a cold pillow, so would love to try this with cold water in .
I like the fact that you can make the pillow firmer, I’m always changing my pillow because the firmness goes.

I love the idea of being able to adjust it to your needs and the idea of putting warm water in it sounds brilliant

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pillow since I moved out of home and had to buy my own pillows! Its an impossible task!! The Mediflow sounds unique and innovative – I would love to try it, and hopefully put an end to my never-ending search for perfection.
I love that it won’t go clumpy over time!
Great idea – love it
This pillows looks awesome! I love that you can adjust the amount of water in it to get the perfect firmness!
I like the idea of cold water in the summer and warm in the winter
Comfortable – what more could you want from a pillow?

Can choose how soft you want it 🙂
this looks like the comfiest pillow in the world!
nice warm pillow in winter, or cold in summer! Great
Sounds comfy x
I can imagine it would be so comfortable
The fact you can add or remove water to get the correct firmness 🙂
I like that you can control how firm it is.

Wow! This sounds amazing! I love that you can make it as firm or as soft as you like! Fab idea! 🙂 x
I like the fact that it is adjustable and seems really comfortable, would be great for the OH who is forever moaning about his pillow
I sound like your husband.. so fussy about pillows!!
I like that you can control how firm the pillow is, and I think it would also stay cooler than normal pillows.
@smeethsaysfashn on twitter.
I have never heard of a pillow like this before but what a great idea, I have problems with my spine and have had a spinal fusion 3 years ago but i was warned that the rest of my spine will start to fall apart, so a pillow like this would take the pressure off of my neck and spine.
The fact that you can fill it to your own level of firmness
i like the fact it wont lose its shape
OH likes a firm pillow, so would love to win this for him.
This looks great, I love the fact that you can leave the water in it for up to a whole year without the need to change it! This pillow sounds fantastic!

I like the fact that is adjustable and I’m sure – really comfy x
I love that you can adjust it to the perfect firmness to suit you individually

I like that because you can empty it, when taking on holiday or anything it won’t take up as much suitcase space as a regular pillow 😀
It looks lovely and comfortable.
We have one too and I’ve slept much better since.
They are really good, aren’t they
This looks like it would be great for my partner, he has arthritis and struggles to have a full nights sleep… I would also have to give it a sneaky test though 🙂
What a genius invention. Our pillows are always wrong and we are in search of a new one, I love the fact that it is so ‘adjustable’
They sound really comfortable and totally adjustable.
It has water in it! What’s not to like about it?

I like the fact it can be ‘adjusted’ to your personal needs. I have 4 pillows which I swap about to try and get comfortable, it would be nice to just have one
It sounds like I am like your husband. I toss and turn trying one pillow then two. I punch and squeeze them but rarely get them how I want them so this pillow sounds ideal. It should have been around a long time ago.
I like the fact you can adjust it to how you want it – I’m so fussy with my pillows! xx
It looks comfortable and you can change it to make it as firm as you want
I really struggle getting the right firmness for me & tend to sleep badly so I like the fact that it is adjustable 🙂
wow!
Adjustability – and free-ness!
I like the fact that you can adjust the level of firmness
I like the fact you would feel your sleeping on a waterbed
I’m like your husband with pillows so would love to try it out for myself. The ability to adjust it is the best feature but I also wonder if it would be cooler than normal pillows – I’d like that too! 😉
Wow really different. I’m an insomniacs and so is my mum so we’d both love to try this. Anything to improve our sleep

Anything that may help with sleep apnoea has got to be a good thing!

It’s unique and anything that improves comfort and sleep sounds great
