A compact travel size pillow with an adjustable water pouch base and a super-soft fibre comfort layer, encased in a 200 thread count cotton sateen cover. According to the manufacturer, this pillow is hypoallergenic.
Firmness is adjusted by adding or removing water from the fully sealed internal pouch — soft, medium or firm, depending on volume. As the head moves during sleep, the water redistributes to follow it. A fill funnel and wrench tool are included.
Mediflow cites a randomised crossover trial published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Lavin, Pappagallo & Kuhlemeier, 1997) in which the water-based pillow showed statistically significant improvements in sleep quality and modest improvements in pain scores in 41 adults with benign neck pain. The study was funded by Mediflow and individual results vary — discuss bedding choices with your GP, physio or specialist if you're managing neck pain.
Suits side, back and stomach sleepers. Well suited to travellers who prefer adjustable support away from home.

Using this pillow in an allergy-aware bedroom
According to the manufacturer, this pillow is hypoallergenic. A review published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice (Wilson & Platts-Mills, 2018) found that the odds of successful avoidance are significantly higher with a multi-faceted approach — combining physical barriers, humidity control, washing routines and air purification — than with any single measure alone.
Encasing the pillow in a dust mite pillow protector is widely considered one of the most practical steps for reducing allergen exposure at the surface closest to your face. For a full guide to building an allergy-aware bedroom, visit our low allergen bedroom hub.
A complete allergy-aware bedroom typically includes:
- Dust mite covers — physical barriers for your pillow, quilt and mattress
- A dehumidifier — keeping humidity below 50% limits dust mite survival
- An air purifier — reduces airborne allergen particles
- A HEPA vacuum — helps reduce allergen from carpets, rugs and upholstery
It's worth noting that "hypoallergenic" is not a regulated or standardised term in Australia — there is no official threshold a product must meet to carry the label. The manufacturer's claim reflects their own assessment rather than a certified standard.

Great quality products, quick, easy delivery
Fits a standard Koala foam pillow extremely well. Made of a very nice tight weave cotton - no polyester which I detest in bedding. Really happy with my purchase
The cotton covers seem well made and fit as described, shipping is fast
I would suggest this mattress and cover as a perfect solution to dust mite, also with regards to comfort it’s just what you need
I have not been able to sleep under a feather doona until now. The cover is wonderful & delivery was prompt.
Bought to remove neighbours' wood heater smoke from bedroom, works well, haven't checked out cost of replacement filters. Quick delivery, no issues.
Great quality, quick delivery and comfortable
Quick delivery, easy to setup and works great
This mattress encasement is a great solution and alternative to purchasing a new mattress for a child with dust mite allergy. The protected went on easily and provides leave of mind that whatever mites are living inside the mattress are trapped in there. Have purchased all of the products to protect our kids bed and are happy with them. Have been using for over one month now.
The quilt cover encasement feels like it's great quality. Have been using for about one month now and it's providing peace of mind that whatever is inside there can't get out. Washing the quilt weekly was not going to work as the quilt wouldn't have survived such regular washing, so this is an excellent solution.
Great quality cotton material, but it's a bit of a struggle to get onto the mattress.

The product is great quality and was an easy order with very good communication. I have only had one night sleeping with it but was very pleasantly surprised . I must add , I think the cost is great value when compared to getting even a new doona that is adequate for the colder states in Australia . I had my down doona and pillows washed and commercially dried before putting them in the covers and the mattress is all encased now and it is a really big difference . 👍
Efficient postage, easy to put onto the mattress, duvet etc. Daughter finds it comfortable and soft.
