![]() We found that for back and side sleeping, the Purple performed beautifully. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but something we hadn’t experienced before. We found it interesting that with the Purple, you can feel each layer. This layer brings stability, support, and helps you maintain mobility while on the mattress. Finally, the 4-inch base layer, which consists of 2-pound density polyurethane foam, keeps you from sinking through to the bottom. You can feel it hug your body once it’s made its way through the grid. This layer adds support but also conforms to the body. The second layer consists of 3.5 inches of 1.8-pound density polyurethane foam. ![]() ![]() It’s incredibly flexible, but when you lay down on it for the first time, you can feel the grid through the mattress cover, which took some getting used to. The top layer of the mattress is made of a 2-inch, hyper-elastic polymer grid. A lot of that has to do with its construction, which is unique to Purple. We sunk into it without feeling trapped, as we have with other memory foam models. The first time we laid on this mattress we were immediately impressed with how it conformed to our body. Nash Comfort: Conforms and cushions, but may leave some sleepers dissatisfied We were able to slide it across the room alone, but lifting it onto the top of our son’s bunk bed required three people. The Purple is very flexible, and when you're moving an item of this size, flexibility does not help. We assume that’s because it’s intended to be unrolled where it will be used, but even if you install the mattress in a bedroom upon arrival, chances are you may need to move it at some point. It took about 48 hours in a well-ventilated room for the smell to dissipate.Īt moving time, we ran into more than a slight snag: The Purple doesn’t have any handles. The Purple doesn't have an overly strong smell, but there is a slight chemical odor that was similar to plastic or rubber, and we wanted to make sure it was gone before moving it into our son’s bedroom. However, we've had experience with foam mattresses and knew that it would need to air out for a bit. The directions indicate that the mattress should be unrolled and decompressed on the bed where it will be used. The mattress was only 4 inches deep when in the sealed bag, but after being released, it popped up to 9 inches within a minute. It took another hour for it to reach its full height of 9.5 inches. Luckily, the mattress comes with a box cutter (as well as two sleep masks and a sample of the inner mattress grid) which made short work of the vacuum-sealed bag. After getting through the exterior bag, we had to cut away at inner plastic wrap and then slice through the vacuum-sealed bag. Unfortunately, the struggle didn’t end there. ![]() The process of getting the mattress out of the first bag took almost 15 minutes. It's then rolled in industrial plastic wrap and slipped into an additional bag. To shrink the mattress for shipping, the bed is vacuum-sealed in an airtight bag. While the directions proved simple, getting the mattress out of its packaging was a challenge. Printed on the outside of the mattress bag were easy-to-follow, four-step instructions. Yes, it's big, but the Purple showed up in a bag that was nowhere near as large as we imagined. If you’ve ever ordered from a bed-in-a-box retailer, you know how mind-boggling it is to see your mattress show up in a far-from-mattress-sized package. Nash Delivery and Setup: Worth the struggle
