While the brand says their products can help just about anyone sleep better, they also claim their pillows can relieve back, neck, and shoulder tension. Now, Purple offers pillows that mimic the design of the company’s original eponymous mattress. When the brothers released The Purple Mattress in 2016, their reputations paired with the product’s unique, porous build instantly sparked conversation.
Scholl’s insoles, Jansport’s backpack straps, and soft-catch toy balls for Nickelodeon. If you haven’t heard of Purple - the company that invented mattresses with squishy, violet-colored grids - you’ve still likely used they’re pressure-relieving technology. Just ask Purple creators, brothers Tony and Terry Pearce, who have dedicated their careers to mastering the science of comfort. This is also not a difference that would affect my review since my main complaint is the lumpiness and bounciness.Regardless of how you toss and turn, it can take years to find your perfect pillow. Second, the MyPillow Premium comes in four loft levels (White, Yellow, Green, and Blue), while the MyPillow Classic only comes in two (Medium and Firm). I would not expect this difference to affect my sleeping experience on the MyPillow. First, the MyPillow Premium has a shorter width, coming in at 16.5 inches wide compared to the 18.5 inches of the MyPillow Classic.
PURPLE PILLOW VS HARMONY SERIES
The jiggling of the elastic foam can be distracting as I try to fall asleep.īased on the MyPillow website, it looks like there are two main differences between the MyPillow Classic Series and MyPillow Premium Series. When I shift my weight on the pillow, I can feel the elasticity of the foam. The MyPillow reminds me of a bag of packing peanuts in the firmness, the lumpiness, and the slight elasticity. The pieces of foam also have an elastic bounce. On the other hand, MyPillow uses large chunks of firm foam without any polyester fiber, so the pillow is noticeably lumpy. The Saybrook and Coop pillows use softer foam and mix the foam with polyester fibers, so those pillows don't feel lumpy to me. My main issue with the pillow, though, is the nature of the shredded foam filling. Because the pillow can't be adjusted, sleepers have to hope that one of the four fill levels happens to fit perfectly for them and hope that they choose the correct one on the first try. The Green level pillow is too thick and firm for stomach-sleepers, but the White or Yellow fill level might work for that purpose. The loft is slightly too high for my comfort level when I sleep on my side, though I don't mind when I sleep on my back. The pillow barely compresses when I lay my head down passively. I measure the loft at about 7.5 inches, and the fill is pretty firm. I would not consider it worth purchasing again at the price point that I paid.īecause the MyPillow is not fully adjustable, I would not recommend it for side-sleepers. It's fun to try once, but I don't want to sleep on it regularly.
Overall, I consider the Purple Harmony Pillow a novelty experience akin to a water bed. Because the Purple Harmony Pillow is not adjustable, I wouldn't recommend it for side-sleepers. Though I appreciate the different options, a one inch difference is the difference between a size 6 and a size 9 shoe (for both men and women), and I'd prefer a fully adjustable pillow that can accommodate sizes in between. The Purple Harmony Pillow comes in three different loft levels, but the options are separated by one inch each, according to the Purple website at my time of purchase. In my experience, I find the grid to be pretty effective in preventing sweat build-up, but if heat and sweat is a concern, down and down alternative pillows tend to be better for breathability than solid foam pillows in general.
The grid serves mainly to provide aeration since solid foam pillows tend to trap heat and sweat against the sleeper. It is fun to squeeze, but when I lay my head on it, I mostly just feel the latex foam underneath. The substance of the grid feels like a gel-grip pen. The signature Purple Grid can be found in the cover of the pillow. The latex foam inside has an elastic bounce. The material feels like the grips in a gel-grip pen. The Purple Grid resides in the cover of the pillow.
