I'm a side sleeper with chronic neck pain and sinus blockage issues. Like many neck pain sufferers, I've tried just about every pillow out there. Found the buckwheat too hard, the memory foam too "sweaty" and just not all that comfortable ... many pillows worked for a while, then broke down and the neck pain came back. I had a decent experience with the Sweet Spot pillow, which has both a firm side and a softer side, and a unique area in the center of the pillow your head kind of sinks into. It worked for a long while, but like all foam pillows eventually breaks down, and over time I found myself increasingly waking in the night and scrunching my pillow for more support. My neck got so sore I went through a round of expensive xrays and visits to the D.O.
Fast forward, and I found the Mediflow Waterbase pillow not quite two months ago and figured I had nothing to lose. I LOVE this pillow! It's the first self-molding pillow that actually seems to really conform to my shoulder height and provide full neck support. I am sleeping better, and through the night. I am sure I am turning over, but I'm not having to wake up to scrunch the pillow; it just conforms to my position as advertised.
I think it helps that I used to sleep on a waterbed. Personally, I have always been a fan of the sort of rocking motion you can get from laying on a water-filled bladder - but some reviewers found that disconcerting. I haven't experienced any sloshing sounds - likely also becuase I knew how to "burp" a water bed. The trick is to do it immediately upon filling, as instructed, and again the next day after the air bubbles have had a chance to rise out of the water.
Re: leaking ... first day woke up to find the pillow case and sheets damp around the filling cap. I used the tool provided to give the cap a good crank, and that took care of the problem - no more leaks.
Yes, it's heavy - but the only time that bothers me is when when changing the pillowcase. It's a plus not to have to wake up to chase my pillow around the bed!
My husband likes to stretch his arm across my side of the bed - which is nice, except his arm under a regular pillow cranks my head to an awkward angle that exacerbated my neck problems. Not so with the water pillow! Likewise, I had developed a bad habit of supporting my chin with my fist, which aggravated my TMJ issues. Now the pillow supports my neck and head fully, and my arm is free to tuck in wherever it feels comfortable.
And there is no "off-gassing" or chemical odors like you can get with memory foam pillows. That'a a huge plus for me as those types of smells can aggravate my sinus issues.
Last tip - I did get the allergy reducing pillow cover, but took the advice of another reviewer and did not order the quilted cover. I find the pillow soft enough without the extra bulk of an additonal cover.
I love this pillow, and would recommend to anyone who is willing to put up with it's heft and adjust to the experience of sleeping on water.

How did I live without these?
I have been recovering from a cervical disc replacement that I had about a month ago. Shortly after the surgery, I had a complication with a terrible Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) on my arm, so my recovery has been very slow to say the least. On the advice of others who had neck surgery, I had bought one of these pillows prior to my surgery. What I have absolutely loved is the ability to add just a little bit of water, or a lot of water. It totally changes how the pillow functions and feels! I seriously have 7 of these pillows now!!! I wish I was kidding my husband would normally think I was being totally nuts, but he sees how much more comfortable I am with them! . I initially just purchased one to try it, and I have continued to add to them. I have used them with varying amounts of water to support my neck, to prop up my arm and elevate it, to keep my back comfortable, and another one I use under my knees when I am in bed...I basically snuggle up with them in my bed all around me and I am in heaven. To make it even more fun I bought some super cute had sewn pillow cases (many with a soft flannel) with my favorite animals on them! I have a really cute bright cupcake one and little flannel pug dog one too, but I don't have any pictures of those yet. There are special cases out there for everyone. One (or 2, or 7) of these pillows with fun pillow cases (I bought all my cases on Etsy) could really cheer up a sick child! Haha...it really had cheered up this sick adult!
