Purple and Saatva, two very purple mattress. But which one should
you get? That's where I come in and be telling you what's similar about these
mattress. What's different? Me telling you what kind of person should get one or
the other. So stay tuned.
Let's talk about what's similar to are between these two mattress. And at first,
I think they're pretty different. There actually are a lot of similarities. So
they're both very popular mattresses that come with great customer service.
They're in a pretty similar price range and actually put the firmness at about
the exact same firmness level. So I think both matches are a good fit
for all three sleeping positions. If you're a combination sleeper, stomach,
sleeper, side sleeper, back sleeper, I think you're going to find these
mattresses to be a pretty good fit. They're both going to be more durable than
the average mattress in this price range. They're going to be breathable.
Mattress reviews. Well, so there actually are a lot of similarities. Now let's
talk about what's different between these two mattresses. And it's really just
the materials and overall feel. The two mattresses, the materials, you've got
a coil on coil construction with the Saatva and then a Euro style
pillow top. So if you're kind of used to the traditional spring pillow
top mattresses, that's going to be what you're going to get with the Sadda and
with the Purple, they have this proprietary unique hyperelastic polymer material
on top of the mattress. So it's kind of squishy. It's pressure
relieving, yet firm at the same time. So it's a
unique feel that could take some time to get used to. But I think a
lot of people are going to like. So the overall feel is really just yeah,
if you're used to a traditional spring mattress, that's what you're going to get
with a satellite and then have this very unique feel with the purple.
Now let's talk about the construction of both mattresses and what the
differences are. If you want to get really into the details, I'd encourage you
to check out both our written and video reviews of both mattress clarity. With
the Purple, we have a base layer, a transition layer, and then this
hyperelastic polymer material is two inches. So it's pressure relieving,
yet supportive at the same time. So the way it works is it'll
stay flat and supportive until a certain pressure threshold is reached. Then it
will collapse. So if you're on your back, it will collapse underneath
your butt, then stay supportive across your back. So it's very supportive when
you're on your back and then flip side on the stomach as well. And then
it's going to collapse underneath your shoulders and hips when you're on your
side. So therefore, I think it's a good fit for all three sleeping positions.
It's a unique feel, too. It's kind of squishy. Yeah. Pressure relieving. It firm
at the same time. Switching over to the sofa, we have a coil on coil
construction with a Euro style pillow top. So we have kind of base support
coils. Very durable material, can be very supportive. Definitely more supportive
than just kind of like a base phone that you see in all foam mattresses.
Then you have four inches of micro coils. They're going to
conform very well to the curves of your body. On top of that, you have
the pillow top, you have this organic cotton cover, and then
some kind of very soft foam layers underneath that.
So it's going to be pretty soft and pressure relieving when you're on your
side, just given that pillow top nature. And then when you're on your back,
it's going to be very supportive overall and then on the stomach as well.
I actually think these are good fits for all three sleeping positions.
I don't really say that about a lot of mattresses. I think they're going to
be more durable than your average mattress in this price range.
Can be more breathable as well. You've got two sets of coils with the Saatva,
and then just this grid gel material has just so much air can flow
through that they're really just going to be kind of a temperature neutral
situation with these mattresses. So there are a lot of similarities in that you
can really find a good fit in all three sleeping positions. They're going to be
more durable. It's just going to be a very different feel overall. Just given
that you have two sets of coils here, then a Eurostyle pillow top
and this unique pressure relieving, yet supportive at the same time feel
with the gel material. Now let's talk about differences
in firmness and feel. As far as firmness is concerned, I actually put both
mattresses out of seven out of ten. I would say with the purple, it kind
of depends on your weight. And if you weigh a little bit more, you're going
to kind of activate that gel to collapse a little bit more than
if you're lightweight. So if you're lightweight and you sleep on your side,
you're probably going to think it's pretty firm. But if you are heavier, you're
going to think it's a lot softer. So I'd say seven out of ten,
seven out of ten. But if you're a heavier side sleeper,
for example, you're probably going to think it's a little bit softer on the
purple. As far as the field is concerned, purple does have
this unique pressure relieving and supportive at the same time. Feel. It's
immediately responsive. It's bouncy. So if you drop a lacrosse ball, it would
bounce right back up. So you can kind of switch positions very easily. The
software has a traditional spring pillow top feel, so the top layers
are very fluffy, very soft, and then you can actually feel the coils
underneath that. So when you kind of combine that effect, it's about a seven out
of ten. So if you're used to a traditional spring mattress, you're probably
going to find a nice home with the Safa. Now I'm going to
talk through how I feel in different sleeping positions on both mattresses,
starting on my back. On the purple, the gel kind of collapses
underneath my butt and then just stays kind of flat and supportive across my
back. So it's definitely very supportive and a good match for me on my back.
Similarly, on the sofa, I find it to be a good match from a support
perspective. It just kind of holds me up, allows my butt to sink in just
a little bit, but you can kind of feel the foam reaching up to the
lumbar region there. Switching on to my side. On the purple,
I feel a little bit of firmness. I think if you're heavier than I
am, you're going to really like the purple for side sleeping. But if you're kind
of my weight or a little bit lower, you're going to feel a little bit
of firmness because you're not going to allow for that gel to kind of collapse.
On the Saatva, there's a little bit of firmness as well, but I think I'd
probably prefer the software for side sleeping. The pillow top is nice and
fluffy, kind of has a really nice feel to it. So I would say probably
for side sleeping for me, as far as stomach sleeping is concerned,
I would actually probably prefer the purple. So just because of the way the gel
works, is very kind of flat and supportive across my stomach. So my hips don't
really sink in too much where I feel that on the side it does just
a little bit. So kind of in summary, I would say if you're a heavier
side sleeper, you might find the purple to be better. If you're kind of my
weight or lower, you might want the Saatva. They're both good options on the
back, and I would probably prefer the purple for stomach sleeping in general.
So I've talked about the construction differences between these two mattresses,
and given my subjective opinion on furniture now, I want to give you a very
objective test that shows you exactly how well each mattress leaves pressure.
We do that with a pressure map test. I get down on my backside in
the stomach, and you see anywhere from blue to no pressure all the way up
to red to high pressure. What's really important is the side sleeping results.
So if we throw this up here with soft and purple, you can see that
for me, soft actually does perform a little bit better just because
of that pillow top feel, which is very fluffy towards the top.
And I felt a little bit of firmness on the purple. I would just say
that I think the results will be a little bit different if you're a heavier
sleeper. For example, Martin on my team is much bigger than I am. He had
almost no red, no Orange or anything like that on the purple.
So if you're kind of lighter weight like me, medium weight,
I would say you probably relieved pressure a little bit better on the savvy.
If you're heavier, then potentially purple might actually be a little bit
better. Hey, guys. Martin here to offer a different perspective. Joe's five,
9160. I'm six, 7230. I'm a larger person. I want to give my
take with these two mattresses. So today we have the purple original mattress
and the Savvy mattress here. I was actually a big fan of both these mattresses
as a heavier person. But let's get more specific in terms of firmness.
I said the purple here was a 6.5 out of ten and the soap here
was a seven out of ten. Now, in terms of sleeping positions on the
purple, on my back, I felt very nice. My hips sunk in just the right
amount, but I stayed flat and supportive everywhere else on my side,
really nice pressure relief, barely any pressure on my shoulders and my hips.
On my stomach, it stayed flat. I didn't feel my hips sinking. And taking me
out of alignment over here on the sofa, on my back, I felt fantastic.
This pillow top left my hips sinking just the right amount for my lumbar area
being supported very great on my side, a little bit of pressure on my shoulders
and my hips. But the pillow top did do a good job of relieving some
pressure as well. And on my stomach, I felt a little bit of bowing
in at my hips, and the pillow top was not supporting me there. I'm kind
of bowing in there. So if you are a heavier back sleeper,
I think both will work. It's more about the feel you're looking for that kind
of squishy gel feel here, but it's also firm or more of the pillow top
kind of hybrid feel over here. If you are a side sleeper,
I would lean more towards the purple. And also, if you're a stomach sleeper,
I lean more towards the purple. If you sleep with a partner,
there's two additional things you're going to want to consider when looking at a
mattress, what we call motion transfer and edge support. Motion transfer
is basically if your partner is moving around on that side of the bed,
that motion can be isolated, is going to transfer over to you and potentially
bother you at night. Edge support is basically, can you sit on the edge of
the bed? Can you sleep towards the edge of the bed without feeling like you're
going to fall off? So for motion transfer, I would say they're about the same.
They're both not the best at isolating motion, just given the materials and the
construction. So I couldn't give one advantage over the other. As far as
edge support is concerned, I would give the clear advantage to Saatva.
They have this foam casing system. You can pretty much sleep all the way towards
the edge of the bed without feeling like you're going to fall off. Now,
the moment you've all been waiting for, which one of these should you get?
What type of sleep is good for one over the other? So these are
two very popular mattresses, I think for good reason. I think they're a pretty
good fit for all three sleeping positions. So I think a lot of people will
like both mattress. But as far as who should maybe get the purple,
I think if you just sleep on your stomach, It's probably a better fit.
Just the pillow top nature of the satellite Allows your hips to sink in maybe
a little bit too much Whereas this gel material kind of stays flat and
supportive across your body So you don't kind of bowing at the hips there.
And I think heavier side sleepers Will allow that gel to collapse
underneath their shoulders so they have really good pressure relief when on
their side. So as far as who should get the Sapa? I think
if you're used to traditional online mattress, Maybe you've stayed at some nice
hotels really like that kind of spring pillow top
feel. That's exactly what you get here. So you might find this to be a
very good home for you. I think if you're a lightweight side sleeper
on the purple, It's probably going to be a little bit too firm And I
think you're going to really like the pillow top kind of pressure relief of the
Saatva. So I think very similar mattresses but there are a couple of
different types of sleepers. You might want to pick one over the other.
All right, so to wrap up, hopefully I've given you a good overview of the
similarities and differences between these two mattress. I think they're very
popular mattresses for a good reason. So I think you're going to find a good
home with either one. But if you're still a little bit confused, all you have
