Mediflow Waterbase Pillow Review & Giveaway
Brought to you by: The Fibro Frog
I'm so excited to bring you this review and giveaway compliments of Mediflow! If you're plagued by any type of neck or shoulder pain, then this is the pillow for YOU! Mediflow actually refers to the waterbase pillow as a sleep system, rather then "just" a pillow.
The way the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow works, is that under the plump, soft, polyester fill it has a waterbase on the bottom. The fill in the pillow, has a special finish on it to keep it plump and cloud-like and makes the pillow long-lasting and washable! The waterbase of the bottom of the pillow, gives your neck continuous support that you can't get with a traditional pillow. The great thing is, the user can adjust the amount of water for the unique support that their own body needs. After you get the amount of water adjusted, the system will support your neck and spine while you sleep, even as you're turning over or switching sides!
Now, if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering if trying to fill the pillow is a big hassle or not. The day my Mediflow Waterbase Pillow arrived I was so excited to try it out that night, but I was also a nervous wreck that I wouldn't be able to fill it and that I'd make a big mess trying to fill it. You can see in the photo above, that the pillow comes with a little funnel type thing. You stand the pillow upright on a chair, insert the funnel, and then poor in the amount of water that you've decided to try. Once you have the water in it, you run your hands down the pillow until you hit the water area, to push excess air out, then insert the cap to seal it shut. By doing this step, it keeps the pillow from making a "sloshing" sound when you turn over. If you hear the water, then you don't have all of the air out of it! That's it! Super easy! I studied the water chart and measured out the amount of water I thought I'd need, and then tried the pillow. It felt amazing to me, but I still needed just a bit more support. I just added a little bit more, and it was perfect!
You don't have to take my word for it though, nor do you have to just take Mediflow's word. John Hopkins Hospital conducted a neck pain and quality of sleep study, and the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow ranked the best out of all pillows tested! The Mediflow pillow helped to reduce pain patients felt upon waking, it increased their pain relief, and it also improved their quality of sleep! As a person who suffers from a severe case of Fibromyalgia, I can attest how hard it is to get quality sleep when you do sleep. Insomnia is a horrible beast of Fibromyalgia that plagues me. It's also been proven that people with Fibromyalgia never get into a good sleep cycle. In my honest opinion this pillow is worth it's weight in gold! I'll never ever own another pillow again. After just one night of sleeping on the Mediflow Waterbase Pillow, I knew that they'd convinced me! Therefore, I'm excited to bring a giveaway to you all, so that you'll have a chance to win your own Mediflow Waterbase Pillow!

I thought the Sleep Tip #4 - Think of a relaxing place was most interesting and helpful
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder that I don't sleep, reading Sleep Tip #1 - Don't try too hard, says it all. I try way to hard and start thinking of a million things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! =)

I like Sleep Tip #7 - Take technology out of the bedroom. I love my Kindle Fire and I read before I sleep, but sometimes I stay up way too late doing email and such.
ReplyDeleteDon't try too hard, thats my problem
ReplyDeleteSleep Tip #1 - Don't try too hard
ReplyDeleteWorrying about the need to rest and fall asleep is one of the biggest causes of sleeplessness. Instead of lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, find a quiet place for better sleep and do something calming (like reading) until tiredness sets in.
7Take technology out of the bedroom. I nned to listen to this one
ReplyDeleteSleep Tip #6 - Expose yourself to bright lights when you wake up
ReplyDeleteExposure to bright light early in the morning, typically for 30 to 40 minutes, has been shown to promote healthy habits and a good night's sleep.
My favorite would have to be Sleep Tip #10 - Use a Mediflow® Waterbase® pillow :)
ReplyDeleteI like Sleep Tip #8. When I seem to follow a routine, it does help me fall asleep. Debbie Welchert dwelchert@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAvoid naps.
ReplyDeletei like tip#4-think of a relaxing place...hope it works next time i need help falling asleep!
ReplyDeleteSleep Tip #10 - Use a Mediflow® Waterbase® pillow
ReplyDeleteGreat head support, which Mediflow® water pillows create, makes all the difference when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. A Johns Hopkins study measured a clear relationship between the Mediflow® water pillow and a much more relaxing and refreshing night's sleep.
