@shimmb I have no idea... and completely agree. BUT many people won't do the research behind it. "Raw Egg Test" = 🤑 But I do want to try it. Who knows, maybe it does work? Definitely need some more reviews though. (IMO)

@shimmb it's a unique marketing stunt that is memorable.

@as_austin Found various videos in which people replicated the test on supposedly bad mattresses, e.g.

@shimmb The idea is if a bed can cradle raw eggs while supporting all that weight, it can also cradle your pressure point while supporting the rest of your body. :) Thanks for the interest in Purple!

@madi_riggs that's pure speculation. Where's the evidence that there is any correlation between the two, or that this leads to better sleep / comfort / less pain?

@tomfrazier did you consider the Leesa or Helix? I'm literally in the middle of shopping for a mattress.

@tomfrazier what sort of issue did you have on arrival?

@trevin I did. I felt the story of purple and their fun marketing was a good fit for me. Have a read of their about us page

@_jacksmith there was a water stain due to an issue at a shipping center. They replaced the entire mattress within a week. Boom!

@tomfrazier SO cool to hear about your experience with Purple! Thank you for giving us a try and keep enjoying the magic of Purple! :)

@shimmb I'm mostly surprised that they seem to be getting more, rather than less expensive in the process.

@katesegrin i have a Leesa btw and really like it.

@mscccc how'd you decide on it?

@katesegrin I don't really remember. I read it was "softer" then the other ones. Plus I think I had a coupon. Was a while ago :)

@katesegrin FWIW, Consumer Reports just did a big review of mattresses including most of the companies mentioned here (except Purple sadly). As I recall, Casper topped their particular ratings. Still I'd love to know how Purple compares.

@ryanthejenks thanks! That's super helpful :) Purple's got some other products that I'm going to try out and see how I like em, then extrapolate to see if if a mattress made of the stuff would be amazing or not.

@dan_o_mite The biggest difference you'll find in Purple is we don't use memory foam or latex! Memory foam can break down really quickly and and start to cradle you in a hammock like position, which is hard on your back! It also sleeps hot, where Purple is temperature neutral! We use premium high-density foams and all of our foam is certified by CertiPUR-US® as well. :) The foam is topped with 2" of Purple that won't break down! It is laid out in a grid that will cradle your pressure points while supporting everything else. :) Click here to Reply or Forward

@adamdepasqua that is awesome Adam. I'd love to get in contact with your friend to hear a little more of his feedback

@scotty_mcq yep. and Ghost Bed, Leesa, Helix :)
