The Mediflow Water Pillow
The Mediflow Water Pillow earns a Silver tier primarily due to its exceptional clinical backing, including a peer-reviewed study from Johns Hopkins University proving its efficacy for neck pain. However, it receives a low score for ingredient quality because it uses basic polyester fiberfill and synthetic materials rather than the high-density foam or GOLS-certified latex defined as the category gold standard. Its high adjustability and accessible price point make it an excellent value for therapeutic use, despite the lower-tier materials.
