Purple Mattress Unboxing by GoodBed.com

[@genacadiente2874]

Just got mine - super excited. Thanks for the video!

Very interesting platform design with the corner supports. Never seen that before.

[@goodbed]

Hi Lori -- Thanks for your comment. Yes, those corner guards are there because it's an adjustable base (ie, one that allows the head and foot of the mattress to be elevated). All adjustable bases need a way of preventing the mattress from sliding from head to foot when it is elevated. Most of them achieve this through either a retainer bar at the foot of the bed or through corner guards as shown on the base in this video. I hope that helps.

I have a purple office seat cushion that I use on my very uncomfortable motorcycle seat. It actually made my motorcycle seat comfortable enough to ride all day with that purple seat cushion on it. that being said, I prefer a firm mattress. How firm is the purple mattress? My purple office seat cushion that I have on my motorcycle would be much too soft for my liking on a mattress.. Also, we have a queen size mattress. Do they make a queen size? And will are expensive bamboo sheets fit the queen size purple mattress?

[@goodbed]

Hi Jody -- Thanks for your questions. I have the Purple seat cushion too. It's a bit hard to equate the experience of sitting on the seat cushion to lying on the mattress. Overall, the Purple original mattress is a Medium feel on our softness spectrum. Much more info on that front in the video and written coverage here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/purple-mattress-review/ They definitely make it in a queen size, and I can't see any reason why your queen size sheets wouldn't fit it just fine. FWIW, with this particular mattress, we do recommend using sheets that have a bit of stretch, but that's only to maximize the benefits of the mattress, so it's not a problem to use sheets that don't stretch. I hope that's helpful.

Thanks for this!

Our pleasure Hillary! Very glad it was helpful for you.

What the size of this mattress? Full or queen

[@goodbed]

The mattress shown in this video is a queen size.

[@brianhill4367]

Thank you.

[@goodbed]

You're welcome!

[@DAman69ize1]

Is the smell still strong?

[@goodbed]

Hi there -- Thanks for your question. By the time we did our full review of the mattress, whatever smell I was able to detect from a couple feet away from the mattress had certainly dissipated. There was still a small amount of smell that was perceptible if you were to put your nose up to the mattress, but no moreso than what is typical amongst other mattresses we've tested. FYI, you can see our full review of the mattress here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJu7h5yXd6h4paM

[@DAman69ize1]

GoodBed awesome! And thank you for the help! I think I’m still going to buy one.

[@initiate22000]

It has a terrible toxic chemical smell. It surprises me that others don't notice this. It does fade over time, but never goes away completely. This is not suitable for humans! I am not being funny. I had to return mine because of the smell, and it's a very hard bed which wasn't for me either.

[@joeymartin8722]

@@initiate22000 we just got one and it had no more of a smell than a normal spring mattress and way less then our memory foam we bought for our camper! I hate you didn’t like yours but I’m rather pleased so far.

[@jake_b5240]

You could use the bag as a suitcase

[@goodbed]

...I don't get the joke?

[@rockobattino3318]

Don’t forget you need a boxspring underneath it’ll be too low and the mattress will be squeezed in between the bars

[@skaarfvagly3959]

Which bed frame are you using for it?

[@goodbed]

Hi there -- Thanks for your question. That base is the Lineal adjustable base from Saatva. You can our full explanation of that product here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/lineal-base-preview/ I hope that's helpful.

Good video! I can't wait for the full review! Have you reviewed the tempurpedic flex supreme breeze ?

[@goodbed]

Thanks +qteezy6501! The full Purple review is very in-depth, so we're excited that it will be coming out soon. Stay tuned! :) Re: the Tempur-Flex Supreme Breeze, we haven't done a full review of that model, however we did do a high-level overview video that talks about the different models in the Tempur-Flex line, which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XOm4popaZ5p8k I hope that helps.

[@qteezy6501]

GoodBed thanks! I can't wait for the new video

Purple mattress unBAGGING lol

[@goodbed]

😄

[@initiate22000]

I bought and returned this mattress. The 2 inch top layer is soft, but the foam beneath was much too firm for me. But much worse was the smell! I couldn't even use it for almost a month. Terrible off gassing! It gave me a headache and is truly toxic. The chemical smell never left but did become less intense after a month. The website says it's not toxic, but that is clearly a lie. It's very toxic! I bought a natural latex mattress instead and feel a lot better in every way. The Purple mattress is a poorly made mattress that isn't worth the money.

[@nomadwcd8877]

Just because it smells doesn't make it toxic.....

[@initiate22000]

@@nomadwcd8877 Yes, but the nausea and headaches and wanting to vomit do give a clue that it is toxic. Plus, who would want to use something that stinks? I have since bought a wonderful all latex mattress. It has a subtle and sweet, pleasant smell that I love. It's also much more comfortable.

[@gcg8187]

many many ppl like this mattress and don't talk about any smell. was it just your mattress? mine came in yesterday and it's fine lol

[@brandonl4511]

The smell of black licorice makes me want to vomit, doesn't mean it's toxic lol

[@sjs1555]

I think you’re full of crap. You are a purple mattress troll.

[@timrichardson2629]

Hey Mike, we don’t need a video about what to expect when opening a box or whatever with a mattress in it. Thanks for calming all of our concerns

[@xobkizum]

Tim Richardson you must be fun at parties

[@goodbed]

Believe it or not, a TON of people are looking for unboxing videos, especially older folks who wonder if this is something they'll be able to handle on their own. Thanks for the comment. We have more unboxing videos if you're really into them :)

[@angd4889]

I actually clicked on this video to see what to expect when the product arrives. So thanks man for making this video

[@tastybrownie7448]

@@goodbed I appreciate your video greatly. I have that same mattress in its packaging sitting in the hallway. I spent several hours yesterday assembling my new bed frame. I want to know the best way to unroll the heavy mattress and how long to leave it sitting there without the mattress protector and sheets. That is the only piece of information you could have added. Overall a good video. Richardson is a troll, IMHO.

[@goodbed]

​@@tastybrownie7448 Thanks for your kind words. I would suggest that the best way to unroll it is similar to what we did in the video. The biggest keys are: 1) move it into your bedroom (and ideally onto your bed) before opening it -- it's pretty heavy and once it's open becomes rather floppy, so it will generally be easier to move while it's still tightly wrapped 2) be careful not to cut the mattress cover when removing the plastic -- I'd recommend using the tool they provide (you can see it at 2:17 in the video) and just taking your time In terms of how long to leave it sitting there without the protector and sheets, I assume this question is about off-gassing. If so, I would recommend using your judgement based on what you experience when you open it. If you notice a significant amount of off-gassing and/or are particularly sensitive to that sort of thing, then I'd recommend giving it some time in a room by itself with the windows open before you make the bed. You could allow anywhere from 2 to 48 hours for that, but there will certainly be diminishing returns at some point. You may want to walk on it a bit before you do that as well, just to give the foam more chances to release whatever initial off-gassing it has in it. Neither your sheets nor your protector are going to be air tight, so to one degree or another the mattress will continue to off-gas with or without them. I hope that's helpful.
