Meet the Real Purple Mattress
See what happens when Purple is put to the test
Test 1: Can Purple Take the Pressure?
Purple claims their mattresses provide "perfectly supported sleep." To test this claim, researchers took a simple 25-lb kettlebell and dropped it from 5-1/2 feet above the Purple Hybrid Premier 3 mattress surface.
For comparison purposes, the same experiment was also performed on Tempur-Pedic's ProAdapt® Firm. Both mattresses were placed over a layer of glass to illustrate their supportive response to the 25-lb kettlebell.
The result? The Purple mattress buckled under the pressure of the kettlebell and the glass below shattered.
Test 2: Does Purple Minimize Motion Transfer?
Purple claims their mattresses offer “excellent motion cancellation." To find out, researchers placed 6 stacked, gelatin-filled wine glasses on the Purple Hybrid Premier 4 mattress surface — and then dropped a standard 15-lb bowling ball from 5-1/2 feet.
For comparison purposes, the same experiment was also performed on Tempur-Pedic's ProAdapt® Firm mattress.
The result? The Purple mattress bounced and jiggled like gelatin… causing the wine glass tower to topple over.
Test 3: Just How Real is Purple’s Human Egg Drop Test?
An investigative news report found that Purple conducted its “real experiment” on a fake mattress with extra padding that was never available for sale.
Case Cracked:
Report finds Purple's
infamous egg drop test used a stand-in
According to the report, the mattress used in the experiment does not have the same construction as any of the mattresses that Purple actually sells.
This investigative news report exposed the truth.
