Regular purple mattress review12/8/2023 ![]() For context, we’re both petite and weigh less than 150. My wife and I kept rolling into each other like there was a giant sinkhole in the middle of the bed. ![]() The topper wasn’t cooling and I believe a hybrid mattress is the worst of both worlds. So, we took a chance on the Midnight with the additional GlacioTex Cooling Cover because it sounded so life-changing. And the Helix Midnight has rave reviews from side sleepers. It’s supposed to be the best of both a spring coil base and a memory foam topper. Helix: A newer trend in the mattress world is a hybrid mattress. But my response back was always: If the mattress I bought was the one that was supposed to be right for my sleeping position, why would another one work? So, I bided my time and ended up with multiple mattresses as wall art in my apartment. Yep, they will completely forego their mandated break-in period on a mattress if you switch to something else they sell. Both Helix and Saatva tried so hard to keep me in their mattress circle by offering an instant exchange for a different mattress. Now, a carrot that several companies dangled in front of me while I went through multiple levels of customer service hell is an exchange. And sometimes, even though the return is free, you’ll have to pay what’s called a re-stocking fee. So, you could be stuck with a mattress you hate for three months until it’s eligible for a return. Some companies say the break-in period is 30 days, some 90. While most mattress brands offer a flashy three-month or even a year return window, what they don’t tell you or what is only stated in the teeny, tiny fine print is that nearly every mattress brand has a “break-in period" for mattresses, meaning you can’t return a mattress until after the break-in period. There is also a 100 night trial, as well as a10-year warranty, ensuring that you get out of it what you need.Here’s what I’ve learned the hard way: Mattress returns are a nightmare. As we understand the 3 core values for better living are sleep, diet, and exercise, why do most of us just invest in 2 of the 3? A purchase currently comes with free sheets, and there are often deals that will include pillows, protectors, and even some discounts. The Purple Mattress is investment – an investment in yourself as a runner. Whatever the science is behind these sweet little grides, I approve. It is evident to me that the 1800+ channels keep the air flowing freely and continually regulating as opposed to the hard and firm mattresses out there. In the past, at least some of my continual waking up during the night has been a result of being too hot or too cold – and then needing to adjust my body or my blankets to fall back asleep. I also found that my temperature was also much more regulated. The “Raw Egg Test” showcases a little bit how. Basically, we are able to be supported and move independently of each other with the Purple Mattress and it is f irm where I need and soft where I want. I used to wake myself up multiple times during the night, and thus my wife as well, but even she reports that this has significantly diminished. However, over time, it is 100% evident that both me and my wife are sleeping better. The first few days were a bit of a “learning curve”, as it was very different that what we had been sleeping on. I have had historical back pain – which is part of the reason we desperately needed to upgrade our mattress – and have needed more support than the springy or “cloud-like” mattresses out there. The Grid is really an interesting construction and comes with 1800+ square “air channels” designed for airflow so you sleep cool and comfortable.īut is it comfortable? For me, that answer became a resounding yes. That means that it is firm where you need it to be and soft in other areas – with your body assisting in dictating that need, not the mattress. This design makes the mattress ultra responsive – basically it strives to moves with you instead of against you. We made the decision to Invest in Rest and start living better.īefore going much further, let’s talk briefly about main aspect of the mattresses – the Purple Grid. ![]() To be honest, from the moment our heads hits the pillow, till the moment we lift it up, we are filling the tank for our days – whatever that may bring. It was high time to listen to not only my own body, but to the many articles and posts out there about runners needing good sleep to optimize their performance – and just generally feel better all the way around. You may recall that, at the time, I was tired of being tired (and sore) from an old spring bed that was first purchased three presidential terms ago. It’s been almost a month since we first started sleeping on a Purple Mattress.
