Purple Mattress?

[mooch]

For those that already have the purple mattress - are yall just putting the mattress on top of a regular set of box springs?

I wanted to get a purple mattress for a spare bed until I watched this....

Seems like purple is hiding something

May not be completely unbiased review. Guy doing it is apparently a former employee of the leading competitor to Purple Mattress. Do a little research on the issue -- looks like a battle between two outfits trying to win the highest share of the BNB (bed in a box) market.

The above review focuses on a white powder in the Purple mattress' cells, which Purple says is simply used to prevent the mattress from sticking together during shipping. Giving credence to the critics of Purple is the fact that Purple will not divulge the precise chemical composition of the white powder. Purple says the powder is a proprietary formulation for which they have a patent application pending. Furthermore, Purple says that the material is not hazardous and has passed government scrutiny to be used on the mattresses.

Btw, I have no interest in either company or even in buying a mattress, but it's kind of entertaining to observe the back and forth on the issue.

I looked into it before posting that video. I read that the reviewer may be a little biased against purple for the reason you mentioned.

As far as I know, it's mostly hear-say and purple has yet to prove the substance is unharmful. Which it troublesome, which is my motivation for posting the video.

We have ours on a metal base.
Wife got it at Walmart I believe.

Not saying you didn't do research, 12 Ring, but I see where it could be read that way. Bad construction on my part. Just saying the issue is worthy of looking into. And, yes, it would be nice if Purple would be more definitive about the substance on their mattresses.

On last bump here. Anyone have a Casper or Tuft & Needle? Those seem very comparable to a Purple.

We got a Casper a couple months ago. Happy with it so far.

I ordered a purple yesterday. I don't care what the powder is, if I can sleep again...I'll snort it!

I have mine on a Rejuven8 by Denver Mattress. Works great.

Another option to look at if you are still in the market is the Brooklyn Bedding "Best Mattress Ever". We have had ours since April and are very pleased with it so far! It's cool, and you dont feel like you're sinking into it like crazy. We got the Medium and its a bit on the firm side, but is very comfortable! We just put ours on the sleep number base we had.

We've started the search again. Momma is wanting a Nectar mattress? Don't know anything about it, but it's got to be better than what we have now and the price is right!

update: Think I'm just now getting accustomed to it..but it hasnt been an overnight "this thing has cured all my ailments" kind of thing.
Wife, isnt so sure...yet.. giving it time...

it definitely is cooler... and seems to stay supportive.. and your sleep is more 'isolated' in that it doesnt transfer movements to the whole bed like a normal mattress..
hell the catahoula can jump on the bed and I wont notice till she scoots her head up to lay in between us - so..its a dog friendly mattress

I've had mine a few months, and with the exception of this full body rash and constant foaming at the mouth, I'm sleeping great.....

You can only buy it online. It comes wrapped up like a burrito at your front door!

So the ends are closed up. Unlike a taco where the ends are open.......
