- It's amazing.
- [Dad] What's it feel like guys?
This is going to be cut down.
- Yes!
(upbeat music)
- [Dad] Welcome to the Purple mattress factory
in this little town of Grantsville, Utah.
This place is ginormous
and it's the place
where all of the Purple mattresses are manufactured.
So today's video is sponsored by Purple mattress.
You guys have seen that we've been building a home
over the past few months
and we want everything to be perfect in that house,
as perfect as possible.
We reached out to Purple mattress
and they said "Yes, we'll hook you up with some mattresses,
"why don't you come see our factory?"
And then we're gonna go try out some beds
and pick some out.
So, get ready for a factory tour.
- Let's go see some perfectly Purple.
- [Dad] I said perfect a lot, didn't I?
- You did. (laughs)
I didn't want to tell you but you did.
- Perfectly Purple - You just told me.
Safety glasses on everybody.
We're going in.
- [Son] Let's go.
- First thing, this place is massive.
It's 574 thousand square feet,
which is seven football fields or five Walmart Supercenters.
It's huge and there's a lot of things in here
that I can't show you because Purple mattress
makes their mattress in a way
that nobody else in the world makes it.
They have over a hundred patents to protect their mattress
and so we're gonna show you as much as we can today.
This is the beginnings of the mattress.
This right here is hyper-elastic polymer.
- It feels amazing.
- [Dad] This is all the ingredients, everything together,
before they run it through machines
and make it into the Purple mattress.
- It feels amazing.
- [Dad] What's it feel like guys?
- [Daughter] I can squish it
and it feels like rubber
if you squish it really hard.
- [Son] Yeah, it does feel like rubber,
if you squish it really, really hard.
(upbeat music)
- [Dad] This right here is the mattress
that we just saw them cutting
and this is before they put a powder on it
so that it won't get all sticky.
- It's weird. I love it though.
- It's really nice.
It just came out of the machine too,
so it's really nice and warm.
- [Dad] Nice and soft, classic Purple mattress right here.
And if you're wondering why I'm filming this way,
it's because everything around us in this section
is the secret sauce of how each Purple mattress is made,
that is entirely unique to Purple
and I can't show any of the machines
because they are incredibly top secret.
There's only five of these machines in the entire world
and they're right here in the building,
right next to where I'm at.
(upbeat music)
So, while every Purple mattress has those grids,
those purple grids that are on the top of it,
the base layer underneath it can be different
in the Purple mattresses,
so you kind of want to see which one
is the right fit for you.
They take this foam bed, they make it go through here
and then over here are the actual coils
that they drop down in them
but inside of the bed, seal it in,
before they put the grid on it.
(upbeat music)
And then it goes down the assembly line,
all the way down to where they're gonna do the next step.
- When you lay on a mattress, you don't really realize
how much is going into it.
I just think it's crazy how many steps there are.
- [Dad] This is kind of a thing where,
I typically would think this happens
in a big manufacturing facility in China
or somewhere overseas
but this is literally in our backyard.
We live in Utah.
and this is basically creating jobs for people
in our backyard.
Everything from the raw materials
to the package being shipped to somebody's door
happened here in America.
That's kind of a special thing.
- Its so cool that's somebody's mattress.
They will spend thousands and thousands of hours
on that mattress, every one of these.
- [Dad] I did not think about that but yes.
- Yeah!
- [Dad] Somebody will enjoy lots of sleep
on that mattress.
The next and final step
is to put it inside of this machine
that is going to squeeze it and shrink wrap it
down to two inches thick.
- [Son] Look how small it is!
- That's incredible.
- [Dad] There it is!
It's rolled up in a little ball.
(upbeat music)
These mattresses weigh anywhere
from sixty pounds to two hundred pounds.
So they have this vacuum, alien looking, robot machine
right here, that suctions it
and grabs it and picks it up.
(electronic music)
That is one cool machine.
Right now you're looking at robot number six,
and he's the one that's in charge
of getting this plastic wrap all around it
before it is put away and stored or shipped.
(electronic music)
You know how Elon Musk is like
"Robots and AI are gonna be taking over the world."
- That was amazing.
- I can see it right there.
I think we should ask
if you can get wrapped up by that machine.
I once was in Portland, Oregon
and I saw a guy completely wrapped up in Saran wrap
and he was just standing there sweating
and he had a whole crowd around him
and people were giving him money.
I refused to give him money
cause I'm like, he just wrapped himself in Saran wrap
in his underwear
and he's bouncing around the streets,
why are we giving him money?
Do you know what that is right there?
- That's a truck!
- [Dad] Go check it out.
You're in the back of a pickup truck, a semi-truck!
- It's not like an elevator.
This thing carries like, hundreds of thousands of pounds.
- This is my family.
Where is everybody?
No.
Right now, we are stuck in a maze of mattresses
before they're turned into the full Purple mattresses.
You see those videos that are like 24 hours in whatever,
how about 24 hours in a mattress factory?
You could make some killer forts and hiding places.
(screeches) - Hiyay!
Where is everybody?
Right there, I found you!
Oh no, she didn't get me.
(laughs)
If you look back to the history of Purple mattress
and where they started from
a lot of it was in seat cushions
and cushions for wheelchairs and different things.
This is the ultimate cushion for your bum,
that's a tagline.
And then the founders were like
how can we take this material
and make something interesting
that would work really well for a bed.
It was only like four or five years ago
that they started the company
and now here we are in this factory
that they're actually outgrowing
and they're looking for more factories.
It's huge.
- Is it? - Pillows and sheets.
- Pillows and sheets.
Purple sheets, Purple pillows, purple everything.
- Sheets make me happy!
- [Dad] Beds don't make you happy but the sheets do?
- Beds, no beds with sheets.
- We've got the tallest ladder that I could find
but I'm a little scared to be up here.
All right, get up here, come on.
Check this out, behind me
we have thousands and thousands of mattresses.
Purple is gearing up for Black Friday right now.
Behind me, you're seeing thousands.
I don't even know how many mattresses are behind me.
I would say five or six of these mattresses
are going to be for our house.
We need to actually lay on them
and test them out.
Think about it,
you spend like half of your life on a bed,
you might as well have the best mattress possible
that you can get.
Hey guys, we have four mattresses to choose from,
Purple one, two, three, and four.
The actual squishy purple part
that's the top is different sizes,
so the Purple two is two inches,
the Purple three is three inches,
and the Purple four is four inches.
Why would you want the bigger ones?
Well, if you're somebody that's a little bit heavier,
like me,
and you're a side sleeper
you might want the Purple four
because it has more of the Purple material on top of it.
It's a little bit more squishy.
But maybe for Leslie, who she's a lot more light weight,
she might want it to be a little bit lower,
like maybe a two inch or a three inch.
- Lights under the bed.
- Oh that is so soft.
Oh, this is perfect.
So we only need to get one bed for all three of you guys?
- No.
- We've been in this store for way too long,
mostly because we haven't decided yet and--
- They're all so comfortable, like they really are.
- And we're trying to decide between four beds.
As far as which beds did we actually pick out
I think we're going to not tell you right now
and we're just gonna wait until we order them all
and get them to our house
and put them into the house
and then we'll show you where we're putting them,
why we're choosing the ones we're choosing.
I hope that you enjoyed the factory tour.
Thank you Purple for sponsoring this video.
It is pretty close to Black Friday
so if you're thinking of buying a Purple mattress
you're probably going to get
the best discount that you can get of the entire year
right now.
So you can check them out,
we'll put a link in the description to Purple.
I'm gonna go take a nap.
(laughs)
(screeches) - Hiyay!
