I bought the purple mattress when they were doing the "free pillow" promotion, so I got 2 pillows. The mattress doesn't really have a smell, but I really underestimated just how much the pillows STANK! Apparently, this isn't unique to the Purple Pillow, and a lot of other latex pillows have the same issue. Some forums suggested baking soda, so I poured baking soda on the pillow, and put it back in the pillowcase. The smell was completely gone within a day, and I didn't have to wait for it to soak and dry off. Hope that helps some people!

[@Creshex8]

Sean Kirkland , I got a mattress and pillow. Zero smell from the pillow, the mattress has a plastic chem smell that is horrible and took weeks to go away.

[@tannerbeverley26]

"Hey son... come out back... hit me with this heavy pillow..." Words i never thought i would be scared to hear

[@1genevieve2]

Hahaha!

[@picpicwhat]

Purple would be smart to send you a bed to review. We had a purple bed (original) but it was too firm and we decided to return it. Purple’s customer service was top-notch and we received a full refund.

[@Freakinreviews]

I think the new .4 would be ideal for me because it's supposed to be better for side sleepers. I am on the fence, but I may pull the trigger on it. And yes, their customer service is very good.

[@1genevieve2]

Hello,Freakin' Reviews! Have you considered asking the company for a "free" Purple Mattress so you can give your review (good or bad...lol)?

[@mathewcurtis9401]

4 years later, they definitely have the "smell" and powder under control. Got a new one this Christmas season and I really like it, coming from a Tempurpedic pillow, I find it very comfortable!

[@Rose_from_UK]

Love how the audience compare a person sleeping with their head and shoulders on the pillow to a psychopath 😂😂😂

Its a good mattress. I own one.

Your dedication to your reviews is genuinely impressive; these followups are fantastic. You deserve every subscriber you get, and more!

[@russellregulator1309]

Congrats on the subs. I think you should keep up the good work. You obviously enjoy this because your good at it. I especially like the fact that you try to do several tests instead of just “as advertised”.

[@carmaninaz4717]

My wife and I love your reviews. You seem to handle them very well. You're fair, honest and you really try to make things work. But the truth of the matter is we only subscribed because of Bailey. We absolutely love Bailey. You're just okay, but Bailey rocks!

[@isit4ukid]

I know this is four years ago but here goes… Based off of your final comments about the inserts no longer being available I would not purchase the Purple Pillow. I am a side sleeper who had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders. This pillow with the slim design would also leave my neck at an odd angle. A low profile pillow scrunches my shoulders and they ache in the morning. I am glad I saw this follow up. Thanks for your honest and complete critique of all of the products you review.

[@whatagreatnameaye1169]

Yesss purple mattress review please I think the idea of a whole mattress of that stuff seems way more comfortable than just the pillow

[@jyesucevitz]

Blubbermans Apprentice since he actually purchases every product and doesn't accept free products from the manufacturer to avoid bias, I don't expect him to pay upwards of $2900 just to review a mattress.

[@alaneah]

I just got my purple 3 mattress a few days ago and I love it so far.

[@nealb182]

alaneah are you single?

[@GatheringHall]

You're so charismatic my dude! I've been on the fence about this and the mattress. That price tag is hard to swallow, but I've had so many issues sleeping lately, and I think my mattress and pillows are the cause of that.

[@cheguevarra6156]

I just bought the original Purple mattress about 3 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. I'm still getting used to the firmer mattress, because I was used to a soft pillow top. It's different for sure. I never want to get up from bed. I got the Purple pillow as well, which came FREE with the mattress. I'm still 50/50 on the pillow. Before I watched your video, I tried a different pillow and put it beneath the purple pillow like you did. I didn't like it, so i switched it around with the Purple pillow underneath, and the second pillow above. That works great, without losing the integrity of the Purple pillow.

[@jennych]

Lol I actually found you yesterday when I was looking for an "egg pillow" actual test. I loved your video style, personality, and of course your dog haha. Congrats on all the popularity!

[@anthonyfasanella4650]

Best product reviewer on KZbin. You deserve more than just the 100k subs. You tell the honest truth about products and your videos are entertaining to watch even if I'm not even considering buying the product. Keep up the great work!

[@rickoh7578]

I bought the purple pillow with the blow up bolsters, they leaked. I’m a side sleeper and need a 5 inch thick pillow to keep my neck and spine lined up, without any bolsters and the pillow being 3 inches, doesn’t work for me, I contacted purple, my response after more than one or two emails was, sorry and good luck. That left a bunch of us ( purple pillow customers) that need a thicker pillow high and dry, not very impressed with purple as a company. I’m now using shredded latex filled pillow that’s the right height and is comfortable. Your reviews are down to earth and very interesting, I’m a subscriber.

[@corynmay7463]

So happy for you James. I’ve told you from the beginning you deserve millions of subs. You definitely will get there. Just don’t forget us little subs.😀

[@richardmahood7478]

I have watched several of your reviews and a few others of the Purple mattress, I went to a store about 60mi away to lay on one just to see if I could like it. I am replacing a 15yo Sleep Number bed so can use that platform. I ordered the regular twin, original style. I also ordered the purple pillow, it came with a set of their sheets (choose sand) and the mattress protector. The mattress came first, only 70lbs so could handle it. I slid it out of the tube, like having that for storing the air bed pieces that fit. The pillow came a few days later with the protector and sheets. I really like the spandex sheets, ordered another set (color purple, of course). The pillow, as you mentioned, takes some serious getting used to. There was no discernible odor but just recently, when my purple Purple sheets arrived, I washed all of them, including the pillow case and pillow protector I had been using. I put the purple sheets on, plopped the pillow down on it upside down and, low and behold, white powder. It is there. I burped the pillow some and more came out. Didn't notice any odor and I was able to brush it off the sheet with a folded hand towel. I sleep with my hand under the pillow some but if you have on the protector and an pillow case, it just feels a bit rough, not itchy. Not only are Purple ads informative with humor, some of the other mattress reviews are funny, too. Thank you for professional review style.

[@dwlr007]

I have one of these and it's helped my headaches since I've had it, I never took it out of the pillow case however and haven't washed the elastic pillowcase either I put it in other pillowcases which don't really affect it's elasticity IMO and keeps me from having to wash the actual purple pillow aspect. Instead of the inflatable extra they sent I just keep a very thin pillow like insulator under it to raise it maybe an inch or two. It's a little pricey, but like the video says it holds up and I don't expect to have an issue with it long outlasting regular pillows that have caused me some issues. Staying cool is pretty important to me and it's the only pillow I've tried that actually delivers in that aspect. I do happen to like flat pillows as a whole so I can put my arm under it and still be comfortable if I so choose however if you like a bulkier pillow you can raise it with the inflatable they ship with or put something under it even an old flat pillow and package them both in a standard pillow case so they stay together.

[@liskrig3429]

Wow! 100k subscribers! I remember discovering your channel at around 5k subs and binge-watching your reviews on my days off from work, they are so genuine and honest. Huge congratulations, you earned it :) I was considering getting a purple mattress, and I had no idea they now had 4 versions... for over $2,000 I may just go contemporary at this point.

[@Freakinreviews]

Thanks for hanging with me for so long! The multiple versions make my decision that much more difficult!

[@j2b3et]

Spot on review. I have been using mine for 9 months. It takes a while to get use to it but it is all worth 100 bucks to me. I was blowing 100's on different pillows trying to find one that didn't hurt my neck. I put on a regular pillow case over the one provided. I never had the smell problem and threw out the inflatable as soon as I seen it. I push the pillow about 1/3 the way off the back of the bed just so it's not under my shoulders. Some day I plan to cut 1/3 off of it just to make it fit better and lighter. I also stuffed foam in the holes up front of it to give a little more neck support.

[@wopalongcassidy]

This is a Gel cell. I have had a gel seat cushion for 20 years. Although some what collapsed, I use it daily. The gel part out lasted the cover.

[@chr1s60]

Love my purple pillow. I like a little thicker pillow, so I put mine on top of a thin old pillow I have in the same pillow case and it works great.

"your reviews are thorough and you are a nice guy" That's why I like this channel so much. It'd be easy to say everything is bad and get a cheap laugh. But there's such earnestness in your reviews, it's heartwarming to watch. Also, Bailey.

[@froggergirl19]

My brother introduced me to the purple pillow. That night I bought one and haven't looked back. Mine did smell when I first opened it. I just put another pillow case on and went to bed. Most of the time I love this pillow. I do tend to sleep with my shoulders on the pillow when I'm on my back. It helps my back, granted I have a messed up back. I'd love to see a purple mattress video, I currently have a sleep number I enjoy. Great channel keep up the good work!

[@MysticWanderer]

I have had mine a lot longer than 10 weeks. I love it. Ever pillow I had before had the problem of heat build up. I even tried the gel covers, one that you put water in to mix with the gel/foam like inside and then get all the air out, bamboo etc. The one that worked best, the water filled one, still build heat up though slower. This one does but even slower and just moving my head slightly on this enormous pillow takes care of the rare times. For a back sleeper I find the height good. For a side sleeper I am the arm under the pillow type. Both work well. This replaced the famous brand contoured neck pillow that helped my neck pain problems from poor pillows. That one was about as good as Purple but had serious heat issues for me. As to the initial smell, mine was faint and gone in about a day with no intervention. All in all, I am happy with it even at $99 and have to say it is the best of a large number of solutions I have tried. Next best was that famous brand (same price) of contoured memory foam pillow with a towel on top to assist with the heat problems.

[@Sinnergy]

Wooo! Congrats on 100k! Also thanks for getting obsessed with this pillow XD

[@linaz3124]

My husband and I have a purple mattress we sleep on every night. We have the original purple mattress. The only down side of this mattress is that it's hard to be moved around (because its kind of slumpy when you lift it up--imagine it just like your purple pillow but in a mattress size, there is no actual sturdy sport for you to grab it). But I really want to say that except this one down side, I really really love purple mattress! I'm not sure if it's the best mattress on the market. But I'm sure it's the best mattress I have ever slept on so far.

[@Barnabi20]

[@jakobauer3154]

I just wanted to say your first review of the purple pillow is what made me buy it. I thank you for that cause I have been using my old pillows for many years now and it is freaky how well I knew where the soft spots, hard spots,tall spots, short spots were. I realized it was time to try something new I purchased the purple pillow a few weeks after your review and I gotta say I love it. It does stay very cool and I know I will never have to worry about fluffing or it starting to get contoured. I feel great also. The only thing I was pretty pissed about but doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would is it didn't come with any boosters like at all but I got over that I just wish it could be a little higher that would be my only complaint. But overall a really freaking good pillow. Thank you Freakin' Reviews for the assistance with that. Good job and Keep up the awesome reviews!!!!

[@kingofallworlds]

Here's my 5 year update: had a tear in the corner at year 1, customer service replaced without major hassle, 4 years with the replacement pillow and it's still just the same as new. I didn't have any smell issues on either pillow. I use 2 pillow cases. I sleep really hot so I have both purple pillow and mattress. I love the pillow, I like the mattress, my wife dislikes both. I fall asleep on side and wake up on back.

[@ThatOddGarage]

I've got the original mattress and pillow. And I'm happy with everything so far two months in. It's night and day for me as far as comfort, and I wake up without back pain anymore. It's amazing. Plus, it doesn't transfer motion, so when my wife comes home from work, I don't even notice when she comes to bed. Ever.

[@razorback9926]

So glad your channel has taken off. I've followed you since an adjustable belt review near the beginning. It's evident you put a lot of money, time, and hard work in your channel and you deserve the recognition!

[@wearyourownskin]

You are pretty funny and relatable in this video. I've been watching your videos for a while. I don't really buy the stuff but there's something about your videos that is so relaxing and interesting. You are a top notch reviewer and you definitely deserve recognition for the depth of analysis you give. You could go into reviewing just about anything (maybe a different channel?) and I believe the masses would come running. Great work James White with Freakin' Reviews.

[@ZachMangs]

i use my purple pillow on top of another pillow because i just think it’s too thin for my liking and i didn’t get the boosters. I’ve had more of an issue with it sliding off the side than down toward me but still one of the most comfortable pillows i’ve owned.

You handle the blows from all the haters out there very nicely sir. So many people ALWAYS have to either be hypercritical, negative about anything, or both! You have hopefully shattered their glasses and made them realize you’re nobody to bring down - cheers!

[@BenjaminCronce]

I've used the pillow for nearly two years now. It's not the most comfortable pillow, but it's not bad. Where it really shines is that it never changes. It's exactly as comfortable as the day I bought it, which most pillows can't even make it a month before they lose their comfort luster. I would also mention that I used to have a stiff neck quite often. It's almost non-existent now. While I can't say for sure that the Purple pillow is the cause of that, it would be quite the coincidence if it wasn't a major reason.

[@renjie218]

I have the original purple mattress. It is good. I don’t know how the newer purple mattress feels like. I’m glad u got used to your purple.

[@halfclappertopchedda]

Hey James. I actually have experience with both products. The purple bed(gen 1) and the purple pillow. I still sleep on the purple bed and I love it. I'm 5'8 183 pounds and I absolutely love the bed. The pillow, not so much. I really find the pillow is too shallow. Feels like my head is fall away from my body. But for the bed I can tell you the generation 1 is a wicked bed.

[@devcybiko]

I've used Purple Pillow for a year and I no longer have neck pain or stiffness. I didn't receive any padding or inflatable insert. I would like something thicker - but I do sleep with my arm under my head which makes up for it. I would never go back. Also, I don't like that there's an 'up' side. The 'bottom' of the pillow is a little rough even with the provided pillow case (and my own additional pillow case).

[@mjs8624]

Congrats on 100k. Best park of your reviews is that you follow up.

[@Freakinreviews]

Thanks Matt. I think follow-ups are as important as the original review, especially to answer questions, clarify, or give new info!

[@thesilverjackal]

Still loving my purple pillow. I have the original with the Air booster but I don't use it. I found that double bagging the pillow really helps. I use two pillow cases with mine to kind of help soften it. But I love being able to move around at night and it doesn't matter that I'm on the edge or the center I get good support. I've gone through countless pillows trying to find one that was comfortable and would hold up over time. I'm about 8 months in on my Purple and love it.

[@Freakinreviews]

Hey Chad! How long did it take you to get used to it? I was kind of on the fence for many weeks, but now I do like it.

[@thesilverjackal]

It did take me a good month or so. I kind of went back and forth between it and my bamboo pillow and then with the air booster and without. I also tried a MyPillow and then a few different ones from Department Stores. Ultimately I always go back to Purple though. :)

[@97BuckeyeNut]

I haven't used a Purple Pillow, but I DO own a Purple Seat Cushion. It's quite amazing. I have really bad back issues and the Pro leaves Seat Cushion removes much of the pressure that used to cause me so much pain. Very glad I bought it.

[@Freakinreviews]

Good to know! I've been considering reviewing that vs the Egg Sitter, which I already have.

[@jvillalaz44]

Thanks for the review. I just recently bought a purple pillow and my neck pains are gone

[@jaysonchessman4990]

Just got it 2 sleeps ago, with the original mattress, I have chronic pain in the back and had a very expensive Tempur-Pedic mattress. I think I’ve had it for too long cuz for the last few years I’ve been sleeping on my lazy-boy in order to sleep through the whole night. I was lucky to bet 3-4 hrs on my Tempur-Pedic. First night with the mattress I got about 12hr of sleep but woke up really sore. Second night was better, slept 8 solid hours and woke up in much less pain, and stiffness, pain went away much faster as well. Now I know there is a period of adjustment but I’m feeling very encouraged that in no time at all I’ll have great sleeps again and wake with little to no pain. In Canada we can only get the original purple mattress. I got that with the pillow and on a promotion, I also got the 270$ CDN, sheets for free. So pillow and mattress combo is fantastic, for me. As for the sheets, well I can’t vouch yet for these so soon. What I can say is, they are very comfortable and very stretchy, stretchiness is very important for this mattress so they can let you sink in some. If you have some or can get them cheaper go for it. Anyways long story short, I’m really liking the pillow.

[@kpf8186]

I place a purple pillow on top of another purple pillow. Perfect for me. Morning headaches gone! Got 2 pillows for free when I bought a (non-purple) mattress. They had zero smell.

[@ohgreatone1381]

I have the purple pillow and the mattress. Purchased in Dec of 2022. I do not have inserts or bladders in my pillow. Yes it is very heavy. I have no smell of any kind that I can detect coming from the pillow or mattress. I was shocked to pay 100 for a pillow but they are very good. I DO NOT recommend sleeping with your shoulder on the pillow. I used to but the purple pillow does not give like a regular pillow does and your neck and head will not get the same support you may be used to. This is true for the mattress as well. I purchased the firm purple mattress. I used to sleep on my side. It takes getting used to sleeping on your side on the firm purple mattress. (A long while) They warned me that this may be a problem until I got used to it. They have softer mattress that are easier to sleep on your side. The problem appears to be your shoulders do not compress the mattress enough to allow your shoulders to not be pushed up. I could not sleep well for MANY nights on my side. I now sleep mostly on my back but I have an ergo-smart adjustable base bed so I elevate my feet and head to sleep this may not work for you but I sleep better than I have in my life. I would strongly recommend all of the purple mattress products. PLEASE NOTE: The pillow cover that comes with the pillow is not a pillow case. I recommend using a pillow case on your pillow. It is more sanitary and allows you to clean the pillow case easily when you change your sheets.

[@scottjones8174]

Gel and foam pillows and mattresses by purple are made of Polyurethane which is decomposed over time (the process is accelerated by temperature, humidity, sun exposure) and releases in the air isocyanates (toxic) and polyols. I hate the idea of breathing polymer degradation chemicals for 8 hours every night... Look into companies that use organic and eco-friendly materials (which are usually non-allergenic). There are many options. Also, a large amount of polyurethane is used in mattresses and no where anyone says about its disposal after use without any threat to the environment! Imagine the bulk volume of disposed beds

[@kingberserk1329]

I actually sometimes flip the pillow vertically and lay on the entire pillow I know it’s weird but with my current pillow it’s super comfortable

[@cameronbusch6291]

I have the purple mattress and that's what made me buy the pillow. Didn't really care for it went back to my old pillow. I would suggest getting the purple cushion I have it for my work chair and it helps tons. One suggestion see if you can start reviewing products off Facebook or kick starter . Would get you more products to do besides as seen on TV. Keep up the good work.

[@jfernsten]

Another good one! With so much unused area, maybe they produce a pillow half the size, at a lower price point? And I think the sound when you lift your head is because of suction. I suspect those of us with hair may not experience that. No offense or anything.

[@Freakinreviews]

The half-size idea is actually quite brilliant! No offense taken! I guess my hairless scalp could be a factor in that sound!

[@luiscruz1736]

I’ve had my purple pillow almost since it launched. The air booster was a downside as it deflated every night. However, I can honestly say since I bought this pillow, I can’t sleep with any other pillows. It’s great and I love it, do wish I had some of those inserts though

[@NekoKiku]

I can tell you that I bought the purple mattress back in February, and next tax season I am getting one for my daughter. I bought the original and for me it is still worth every penny spent and it's long after the return time now :) The purple pillow came with it for free and it is the best pillow I have ever owned.

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I bought one of the Purple seat cushions for my office chair a few months ago and it definitely smelled bad when I got it. Just like your pillow. However, I decided not to go to the recommended extra effort of washing it to remove the smell. I assumed it would fade on its own over time as I have bought many things made from weird polymers over the years and they almost always have a smell that will eventually fade away on its own. And the smell did fade. But not entirely. I still get a nice blast of stank when I sit down. As such your video has inspired me to finally wash it. Not just because of the smell of the polymer, but also because its absorbed so many of my farts by now that I'm probably breaking EPA regulations by not doing so. As for performance, this thing has literally saved my ass. I bought it because my office chair is very well built with the exception of the foam in the seat. Which compressed to the point that I was grinding my coccyx into a fine powder every time I sat in it. And since the price of a new chair far exceeds the cost of a smooshy purple ass cradle, I bought one. If you get around to it I hope you review all the Purple products because I am very curious about their mattresses. If its as comfortable as the seat cushion I would love it. But if it smells like one I would not be pleased. Also, HOLY SHIT. You DO look like a young Jamie Hyneman. Thats awesome.

Great review. I haven't gotten the purple pillow yet but I do have a king size original purple mattress. I love that bed. It has saved my back. Now my issues are with my neck, I haven't found the right pillow as of yet. I'm hoping the purple pillow will be my answer. My wife is going to purchase the pillow for me for my bday so I have a month yet to decide. I'm just hesitant because of the price. 100 bucks for a pillow that have such mixed reviews are a little iffy. But with the wonders the bed was able to provide for my back has me intrigued about the pillow none the less. Guess I just need to try it and decide for myself.

i have the pillow, took like 4 weeks to get. they changed the pillow case, its almost all nylon now. the pillow smelled like a fire when i got it at first, and then realized it smelled exactly like diesel train exhaust. but leaving it outside for a day or two, and washing it, the smell went away. if you dunk the pillow in water, a lot of the powder will float to the top. the rest i had to remove with compressed air and dropping it repeatedly. they have no risers, they have no note telling you not to use it in a pillow fight, and i only got one squishy. i found a 1/2" yoga mat riser (a cut up yoga mat got at a garage sale), adds just enough neck support. any other riser, any other pillow case, makes the pillow harder... it also creates a suction on your ear. and i find it tends to attract humidity - the pillow does get hot and it stays hot. not as hot as memory foam. i'm curious about the cheap mattress, or maybe the new one with the springs at 2", its still over priced though, i'm waiting for a topper to come out.

Thanks, best part of your channel is the follow-up reviews to see how they're doing... Congrats on the milestone!

[@shaynecarter-murray3127]

I would LOVE to see your review of a purple mattress or a Casper mattress. But i know those are both pretty big expenditures and i certainly wouldn't explect a person to make that kind of commitment. ON the other hand, i'm pretty sure both companies have payment plans and soemthing along the lines of a 100 day return plan...needless to say, your reviews are fantastic and have already saved me money on gadgets that aren't up to par. Thank you for the excellent infotainment!

[@Smiskifan4l]

I don't even buy as seen on TV items. I just really like watching your reviews. Congrats on 100k.

[@Freakinreviews]

Hah thanks. Some of them are just entertaining to try, even if they aren't useful.

[@datoneguy825]

Congrats!!! You do great reviews and put effort into them. Keep'em coming!!!

I just got my original purple mattress and I’m enjoying it so far. My morning back pain has gone away and is noticeably cooler than my old mattress. I also thought about getting the purple.2, but I prefer a firmer mattress anyway so I decided to save my money and just get the original. You could get the original queen for $999 and they actually send a free purple pillow with it. I bought the mattress protector too, which was $59

[@darienschroeder2542]

Ordered the purple pillow this week, should be arriving tomorrow, quite excited.

[@adrianram7677]

I use a small 6x4 blanket as a pillow. I can put it however I want and is comfortable. Regular pillows are too hot and are too big and that gives me neck pain😁

[@rayspooner1982]

Just got mine today. No odor at all, but it seems like when I lay on my side it creates a suction effect on my ears that feels weird. Time will tell I guess.

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

I tested the purple mattress and pillow in a mattress shop. It was the most comfortable thing I ever felt. Regina had to pull me off it cuz I didn't want to leave it!

[@theskiesthelimit2]

That first purple video is how I found your channel. For some reason, youtube shoved that video into every suggested section I saw. I enjoy your reviews though. Keep up the good work.

[@tonyc.796]

Get the mattress! It is the best if you are a warm sleeper. The material you sleep on is really comfortable.

[@Crazywaffle5150]

For anyone that wants to know. I own a purple mattress. It's a great night sleep. I even get compliments from my hook ups about the mattress.

[@mikemoore8864]

I actually ordered the pillow because of your original review. Should arrive in soon!

[@RC-pn8zu]

I am in a debate over the original and the new purple pillow! Thank you for the update!

[@KiiroKohaku]

I personally like the purple pillow. I also had that issue with the smell, but I was like whatever and used anyway. It was $100, and I wasn't going to let the smell stop me from using it. Once the smell went away, I was a fan of it.

[@fredflintstone4715]

After ordering a month ago, I finally got mine the other day. After leaving it in the bedroom a few hours, I walked in and the bedroom stunk. Gave the pillow a warm soak in the tub. Took away a lot of the smell, but I can still smell it at night. After only 2 nights, I like it so far. Actually seemed too hard the first night, but I do have a bad neck. It'll be cheaper in the long run than buying a new pillow-pedic every six months or so. When I put my arm under the pillow, the only thing is my arm gets too cool, since the pillow does 'breath' and isn't 'solid'. Time will tell...........

[@Freakinreviews]

That's similar to how my experience went. I would say it took me over a month to even decide if I liked it or not, because it is so different. It's not for everyone, though.

[@VickieBriz]

I wish you would do a review of the purple mattress, even though I understand what you mean about the cost of it. Of course, you could always return it before the 100 days if you or your wife don't like it, just don't get rid of your current mattress...I've heard/read that they offer white glove delivery & will dispose of your old mattress for you. Since people can return these expensive mattresses within the trial period, and because they are such a different material than what most people are used to, I feel like they probably get a fair amount of returns, but it would be helpful to know the answer to 2 questions: 1) Of the Purple mattresses sold, how many or what percentage have been returned? 2) What does the company actually do with the returned mattresses? By the way, I'm a new subscriber & found you because of your purple pillow review. I like how you present your review information & hope you keep up the good content.

[@DynamixWarePro]

Congrats on the subs. The Purple Pillow video was on my recommended list and that is how I found your channel and as soon as I saw it, I subscribed. Review videos like you make are not something I normally would watch and like, but yours are the exception. That pillow fight scene was hilarious! Great pillow for a fight that is for sure, The last hit looked painful though. I would like to see a purple mattress review if you could afford it as I didn't expect it to cost as much as it does.

[@magooch5]

Great review man. Loved the pillow to the face. Iv had the original purple mattress for about 2 years now and love it. Ill probably get the pillow to.

[@cathycutler7996]

If you contact MyPillow you can exchange your pillow until you find one you like. They’re very very good with this. You should get a thinner one. Both my husband, who used to use a towel bunched up to no pillow at all, and I went to the thinnest one they make I think it’s the yellow level. The MyPillow company c/s is great they’ll pay for all shipping and include a coupon to get another product at 50% off. I get chronic headaches and I credit the MyPillow to helping me have less of them. Please let me know if you try exchanging your pillow.

[@twitchtvbeststreamingapp]

as soon as u said ouch bailey came flying over lol

[@toniwheeler1513]

Great review & update. Very helpful. Purple pillow was a gift that I didn't know anything about and came on for instructions on how to wash. Thanks for demystifying the thing in both videos. Feedback on pillow itself? I still prefer my Temper-pedic because it is more malleable & lighter (unbreakable "sleeping with my arm under the pillow" habit), but I really like the thinness and firmness. Remain on the fence about odd cool sensation. Need to work out clean-ability and try adjusting height a little lower. Mine has the foam inserts thank god! That inflatable piece looks terrible...

[@loidabarragan6002]

Thank you so much for this truly honest review. It is very hard to find channels like this. especially after the other mattress companies made a lot of fake channels to pretty much sell their shitty mattress. Guess purple was really giving them run for their money. Thank you again and keep up good work.

[@jtj1080]

Just do the 100 day trial for the mattress, review it, send it back.
