Pillow Sags in the Middle
I bought one of these pillows a couple of years ago and was happy with it for a while. Then, I began to notice that it was sagging in the middle. I filled it with water to the maximum level hoping that would do the trick but it didn't. I even opened up a seam and tried to stuff some additional polyfil into the pillow but this just made it lumpy. I finally wrote to the Mediflow folks and asked them how I could get rid of the sag. After two months of no word I received a response telling me to send the cap to the company and they would send me a new pillow.
I sent back the cap and eventually received a new pillow. I filled this one to the max and after a few weeks noticed that this pillow had also developed a sag in the middle. Now, I am mostly a side sleeper so a saggy middle means I have to pound the pillow or re-shape it to create space for me to breathe. Very annoying, especially to my husband.
I read all the reviews before and after my purchase and no one has mentioned this sagging problem. Maybe it's just me and the way I sleep. I still use the pillow but am not happy with it, especially since it weighs a ton filled with all that water.

stiff neck
After reading all the reviews for this pillow, I was sure I would be one of the ones who loved it. Boy was I wrong. I like/need a pillow that is fluffy and supports my neck. This pillow turns out to be flat and makes my neck hurt to the point that I am waking up with headaches every morning. I can't bring myself to buy another pillow since I paid so much for this one. Did I mention the weight? It weighs a ton due to the water (I have played around with different amounts of water to determine the most comfortable amount). I am very unhappy with this pillow, but I think it is just my personal preference. I would not recommend this pillow unless you like a relatively flat pillow (and like to hear sloshing water all night).

water pillow? yes!
Had tried another non-water orthopedic pillow, but it did not help. Read about the water pillow, and tried it. First night, noticed comfort and relief of neck and back stress. You open the package, and fill a pouch on the pillow with water. They suggest medium full, but for an adult male it is not firm enough. I tried filling it to firm setting and it worked well. The gentle support helps relieve stress, and the cushion effect is like that of a water bed. Takes standard size pillow covers.
