- Is it really different
than some of the most popular selling ones
that we could find on the internet?
- Why did you do that?
- If you've been following our channel
for the last couple of years,
you've seen that we built our dream home.
And today I'm going to talk about something
that a lot of you guys wouldn't think that you need,
but it's one of my favorite things inside of our dream home.
What's inside of the Purple Pillow?
All right, come inside. Let's talk about this more.
And yes, this video is sponsored by Purple.
You know, we are fans of the Purple Mattress.
We've actually toured their factory before,
and seen everything inside.
But, did you know that there is a Purple Pillow?
A lot of people don't realize that a pillow
can have a big effect on how well you sleep.
And this is the first pillow in my life
that I've actually traveled with
and taken it to a hotel.
Yes, I've started to become that person,
that I take my pillow on my trips with me in my luggage.
That's how much I love the Purple Pillow.
What makes the Purple Pillow different than regular pillows?
Today, we're going to take apart
some of the brand new pillows from Purple.
And we also got in a lot of other types of pillows
that you can buy out there,
and we're going to cut them open
and see what's inside of them.
Let's see what the difference really is.
This is our master bedroom.
We've had this for a couple of years.
We have the Purple 3 Mattress.
It has the three inch grid in the middle of it,
which is a little bit thicker.
And so people that are heavier like me,
and I'm a side sleeper,
it's really nice because it has a lot of give in it,
and I can lay on my side and be comfortable.
We're not going to cut that open today.
(electronic whirring)
Aw, nice.
How it works...
(electronic whizzing)
So the wife doesn't get mad at me.
For those of you that don't know how a pillow works,
this is it.
You lay down and you sleep like this.
The problem that I find with a lot of pillows
is some of the ones that are made just out of cotton,
you can put your head in there
and over time it kind of gives way,
and by the end of the night it's as if you're like this,
and you've got all of the pillow on the sides of you.
I don't like that.
There is a Purple Grid in here.
I can feel it.
And what it's doing is it cradles my head.
It's like, imagine putting a bowling ball on a pillow.
That's what my head is right now.
I don't have to go like this and like put it together
like you do with some pillows.
Or like bunch it up.
It's just, it is what it is.
I've never actually taken apart the pillow.
We're going to do it right now.
No look.
Oh, that was scary.
Did it even cut it?
(electronic squeaking)
Check this out.
You can kind of see what's inside of it.
Oh, I'm so strong.
It looks like it's the Purple Grid.
I'm still just laying here.
I've never, whoa.
Okay, we just learned something.
The actual pillow case is attached
to the Purple Grid right there.
But, from the side angle, you can kind of see...
Check this out when I put my hand on it.
See how the grid kind of caves in a little bit,
around it, and it strengthens it.
But it's not that thick,
so there's something also inside of this pillow.
It's not just the Purple Grid.
The Purple Grid is on the outside,
and then the Purple Grid actually gets thinner and thinner
around the edge.
I didn't expect to see that, I really didn't.
And if I pull sheet out...
Wow, it's that whole thing right there.
That is really interesting.
And then on the inside,
whoa,
we have this mesh that is super breathable.
And then, oh, the softest, it's like a squishy,
but it has holes inside of it.
Look at that.
There's pillow number one.
How about the, a Tempur-Pedic Pillow?
(plastic crinkling)
This is just like the pillow that I had for years and years.
(siren blaring)
It's essentially memory foam.
We move off the soft cover on the outside.
(cloth ripping)
So this is the Tempur-Pedic right here.
And this is the problem that I had with it.
It is cool and it feels really cool.
It can sink quite a bit and it doesn't have the holes in it.
It does get incredibly hot and sweaty at night.
Water just kind of sits on there.
(electronic squeaking)
This one is a company called Leesa.
Welcome to a better night's sleep.
Let's check this out.
Oh, I like the gray.
(siren blaring)
This one doesn't feel as much like memory foam.
It's just kinda...
Leesa, I see what you're up to here.
Even though Purple sponsored this video,
they did not tell me what to say or not say
about any pillow, including their own.
So this one's kind of like a sponge pillow.
I could actually see the camera through there right now.
Yeah, I can. I can see it right there.
Do you see my eyeball?
Purple Pillow feels a little bit more,
in a way, like memory foam with the holes in it.
Okay, unique. Thank you, Leesa.
(electronic whirring)
This is the Tuft and Needle.
Very, very soft on the outside.
(zipper whizzing)
What are we going to find?
Oh my gosh.
It's the same.
This is the thing, that when we learned with mattresses,
that I'm starting to see as kind of the same with pillows.
This is the exact same material on the inside.
You get some of the companies that license a pillow
or a type from somewhere,
they put their own logo on it.
A lot of times they don't produce them
in their own facilities.
It's like a private label thing
and they just put their name on it and sell it.
I don't know if that's what happens with the pillow,
but I know with the mattresses,
when we toured the Purple factory
that's here in the United States,
they do the majority of the manufacturing in America,
and it's like their own patented process
that they have with the Purple Grid.
And some of the other mattress companies,
they seemed like,
on the inside they were very similar material,
just on the outside the marketing was a little different.
Casper.
What are we going to find here?
(electronic whirring)
Oh, I accidentally ripped the pillow.
This feels really soft and nice
because it has this inside of it.
But, has the similar feeling to some of the pillows
that when you go to a hotel
and it feels super fluffy and nice,
I'm so happy.
But then what happens in the middle of the night,
a lot of the times,
is my head sinks down so much
and I've got to like bunch up the cotton
because it's unpredictable.
It moves around in different areas,
especially when you've had a pillow for a very long time.
The longer you have it,
the more this stuff can like bunch up in different areas.
Oh.
This is going to be really messy.
I've got to be careful with this guy.
(electronic buzzing)
Oh my gosh, Casper you're about to wreck my house.
And then we go further in.
It says it's made out of polyester fiber,
100% polyester fiber.
So this is not from an animal wool.
Is it wool?
Cotton?
No cotton?
- [Leslie] Goose feathers?
- Goose feathers?
The Brooklinen.
I thought it was Brookline.
(electronic whirring)
Hey, that's what we're talking about.
100% Canadian White Down.
It is very, very...
Like, I feel like it's going to float away.
Whoa.
Here's what Brooklinen is.
Oh my gosh.
It is like the softest stuff ever.
Like.
(Dan laughing)
It's just coming out.
(air whooshing)
What even is this stuff?
Well, this is what's inside of the Brooklinen one.
(electronic whirring)
(air whooshing)
(hands slapping)
(Dan laughing)
- Why did you do that?
It's such a mess!
- [Dan] I don't know.
- It's everywhere.
- [Dan] It is. It's Christmas though,
we have our Christmas tree, look.
- We do have our Christmas tree.
It's like literally getting in my lungs.
You can see it floating everywhere.
I don't know if you needed to pull the whole thing out.
- [Dan] Go get the kids, I want to show them.
Look at this mess.
Get Leslie to get stressed behind the scenes,
but this is funny.
Watch this.
- Whoa.
Wait, which pillow was this?
- Brooklinen. Brooklinen.
No, it's still in the pillow.
- Oh.
- This is the pillow.
- Really?
- Plush Down pillow.
Feel this stuff.
- Oh, it's so soft.
I like this one.
- This is so soft.
- Feel this.
- I like this pillow.
- Whoa, it's like sticky, but it's like...
- It's like a squishy toy.
- They should sell these.
I would totally buy this.
(Dan laughing)
- That one's the inside of your Purple Pillow.
- Really?
- That's it.
Yeah, that and the Purple Grids on the top part.
Okay, go out before you inhale all this stuff.
(Dan coughing)
So, there's a bunch of the pillows,
even the down pillow.
We've got a mess in here.
We will put a link in the description
to the special holiday deals.
There's multiple options of the Purple Pillow.
It's made with recyclable food grade material,
so it's hypoallergenic.
There is a 100 night trial.
I didn't anticipate this video getting so messy,
but thank you for watching
and let me know how much you like your pillow.
Okay.
(air whooshing)
On a level one to 10, how stressed are you right now?
- Like, I just didn't know
we were going to be making such a big mess.
Like that is going to be difficult to get up.
I would say like an 8.5.
- Leesa.
- I wonder if the owner is named Lisa with an I
and she's like, this would be a great name.
Under penalty of law the tag is not to be removed

I'm the consumer.
I feel really awkward being in my bed,
filming a video. So...
And you probably feel awkward watching it.
Tempur-Pedic, did you draw that on there?
- [Leslie] I did.
- Leslie drew that on there.
Do not recommend you ever bring your razor blade
into the bed.
- It's...
- [Dan] Awesome.
- It's doable, but it's going to take a long time.
- The grid.
