Katie Golde: Hey guys, it's Katie from Mattress Clarity.
Today I'm reviewing the Purple Plush Pillow and you may be looking at and saying, "Katie,
this pillow isn't purple," and that's true.
That's the name of the mattress brand that makes the pillow, but I can attest that it's
very plush.
It also has something in here that I have never seen in another pillow, believe me I
reviewed a lot of them.
We're going to dive and I'm going tell you everything you need to know, and a little
bit my colleague Marten's going to come in.
Marten's a foot taller than me, it's a little bit differently than me and he's going to
give you his take as well.
If you're ready let's dive in.
Kudos to Purple for coming up with a really innovative way to adjust your pillow.
Basically, these two zippers have a lot of different functions in them, you will zip
on fully and the pillow is going to be as firmest, but if you unzip the mesh gusset
that opens up and it makes the pillows softer, and that's where that plush nature in the
description comes in.
You can make the pillow really soft or really firm just by zipping it, open or closed.
Many of you think, how many or do you have an adjustable pillow?
And that means you can access the filling, you can add or remove it, you can take inserts
out, there's all different ways to adjust your pillow, but how many of you already have
a pillow like that?
Comment yes below if you have one or no if you don't.
Let's go talk about the Purple Pillow.
This one again is adjustable, but let's talk about the outer cover as well.
It's got Lyocell, synthetic fibers in the cover it's a cellulose fiber you may have
heard of it, it's used for a lot of different fabrics specially pillows because it keeps
it smooth, but cool and durable, and this also has a little bit of nylon in it.
Imagine the feels like sleeping bag or something it's got a little bit of that softer feel
to it, and the inside is filled with smart fluff.
Now, Purple describes "smart fluff" as interlocking poly-fiber ball technology, and that's basically
a fancy phrasing for polyester fibers.
As a lot of polyester fibers is in here, it gives it that down alternative, down like
feel to it.
It is hypoallergenic and it makes it really soft and fluffy and also really plush in that
sense.
It is a little bit of a higher profile, and again you can control how firm or soft you
want with the zippers, you can zip the whole thing up and this is at its firmest which
is probably going to work best for side sleepers.
You can also unzip and back sleepers will probably like it as well.
The whole pillow is machine washable and dryable that comes with a 100-night trial and a one-year
warranty.
There's a lot to like with Purple's Plush Pillow.
The best thing is definitely the innovative design, the zipping and unzipping allowing
you to change your pillow from being firmer to softer.
It's so easy, there's no mess to deal with, and you're not taking out any filling, and
the filling is polyester fibers.
If you like that feel of down type alternative, but you have allergies the whole pillow is
hypoallergenic.
Now, is someone who has kids and pets, I know it's easy to get a pillow dirty by accident,
this is machine washable and dryable, I love that the key instructions are already on the
tag and then in the box, you can't miss them.
The pillow is a little bit on the firmer side, I think, it's going to be a good fit for side
sleepers and back sleepers.
Stomach sleepers might be a little bit too much for you, you get a 100-nights to try
it out, comes in one size right now but it's pretty affordable at just about $50.
Here's some things for your consideration with the Purple Plush Pillow.
If you are looking for a solid foam option, you want a lot of support this pillow is polyester
fiber true and true, It's got that fluffy down alternative feel to it, just be prepared
for that, you will need to throw in the dryer to keep it fluffed about once a week will
do, and it is adjustable, but you cannot access the filling.
If you want total control over how loftier, how firm your pillow is, you might want something
where you can just get your hand in there in the filling pull in and out, this gives
you lots of options but it's not as detailed as one of those.
I also think it might be a little bit too much fluffed and a little bit too much support
for stomach sleepers.
You tend to need something definitely on the lower profile side, if you got your heart
set on a Purple Pillow I actually consider looking at their original version.
Let's talk about the best sleeping positions for this pillow.
Based on my experience, I really think side and back sleepers are going to have the most
success, so that because when the pillow is zipped on both sides that's when is at its
firmest.
It has a good amount of polyester fiber fill in here, it's going to keep it lofted and
firm for a while.
Of course, you are going to want to throw in the dryer about once a week to help it
maintain that loft, but if you do that should be nice for side sleepers.
Now, back sleepers you can get buy at the little bit softer pillow, little bit less
height and in that sense you can unzip one side, unzip both, go halfway when the zipper
is, it really should be a nice fit for you.
Stomach sleepers, I'm sorry.
I think, just with this filling and the way it's set up, you're going to probably have
too much fill, too much loftier for your neck to be comfortable.
If you're set on a Purple Pillow, I'd actually look at the original version has a lower profile.
Marten: Hey guys, Marten here to offer a different perspective.
I'm a larger person than Katie and more of a side sleeper.
I want to give my experience with the Purple Plush Pillow here.
What's interesting by this pillow as Katie said is, you can unzip it here on both sides,
if you want feel it to be a little bit softer, or you can zip it up on both sides if want
to be a little bit firmer.
In the firmer configuration very, very nice in my back, nice amount of support and comfort
on my side, very comfortable as well.
However, I put it on the softer configuration for when I was on my stomach, still little
bit too firm for me.
This have lofty feel to it, if you're a heavier, back or side sleeper, like this lofty feel,
could be an option for you.
Katie: I really like Purple's Plush Pillow.
It's a nice option for back and side sleepers who want a down or down alternative like feel.
For me it's awesome, if you can machine wash and dry pillow, of course, I love that about
it.
I also think it's pretty affordable around $50, but right now it only does come in one
size, you get a 100-nights to try it out.
If you do get it, comment below, let us know what you think of course we're always checking
back and I'm happy to give you a personal pillow recommendation as well.
Now I'm going to take a nap, I'm pretty tired, I'll see you at the next pillow review.
