Where is the purple mattress made
How to Make a Purple Mattress! - Best bed of 2020?
[Music]
this is there any magic it might not
look like a mattress just yet but 30
years ago two brothers one of which was
a rocket scientist invented a new
material that was specifically designed
for medical beds and seat cushions for
wheelchairs oh we have to user is
sitting all the time so if the cushion
is too hard it could start to damage the
skin today those same tube brothers have
taken that material and are making
entire beds out of it today's video is
sponsored by purple we're gonna see how
they've taken that super soft cushion
technology and manufacturing entire beds
it should be pretty interesting let's
get started
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we're here inside the purple Mattress
Factory and this place is so large seven
football fields can fit inside of it
right behind us right now are all the
finished mattresses but today we're
gonna see how the mattresses are
constructed and what makes them
different than everybody else
so this purple dust is one of the secret
ingredients that starts building the
hyper elastic polymer that purple uses
in their mattresses it feels like
kinetic sand and powdered sugar had a
baby and it's the purple powder
the powdered mixture gets melted down
and gets melted into a massive injection
molding machine which pumps out the
massive sheets of purple grid like you
see here these are then cut down into
the specific mattress sizes you know
twin queen king and california king all
the excess is added to these bins and
then ground up and preserved to be used
again later
a supercool part of this whole operation
is that any portion of the purple
mattress that they don't use you know
the hyperelastic polymer part they can
just grind up and reuse in future
mattresses so there's zero waste
involved so we've seen how the top of
the purple mattress is made in order to
combine that top with the hybrid base
the coils in the base are sent through a
machine that adds adhesive to the top
layer that adhesive is then cooked
through a red-hot conveyor belt oven and
then foam borders are set around the
outside of the mattress on the top where
the purple hyperelastic polymer can then
ride up a conveyor belt and plopped down
very satisfyingly inside
spreading out to each edge in every
corner
after the purple grid is all spread out
the machine goes into a giant smasher
which smashes the purple into the bottom
layer and creates a solid bond
after the mattresses have been smooshed
and adhered they slide down the rest of
the rollers dry off and get packaged up
once the hybrid mattresses are
sufficiently dry we can add the fire
stock which covers the entire mattress
and then is pinched off and sewn shut
the final cover is then added and the
whole mattress is flipped over onto the
backside to help facilitate the cover
closing once the bottom is closed up and
the mattress tag is added the whole
thing moves into a giant suction machine
to facilitate the shipping the
mattresses are then pressed into a giant
compressor which vacuums all the air out
and turns it into a giant purple pancake
the purple pancake is then rolled up
into a giant purple burrito and then
ejected into a giant purple sleeve my
favorite part of this whole contraption
is this giant suction machine right here
which can lift up 240 pounds since these
mattresses are pretty heavy it has three
suction cups on the end and effortlessly
places the mattress on two giant pallets
so they can be shipped out so cambrie
now that you've seen how the matches are
made and put together are you ready to
go try ours out yeah I'm excited to try
it out because I've seen how much work
goes into it now they look pretty cool
from the inside which we know is the
best let's go so there are a lot of
mattress in a box companies out there
but purple is different that same grid
that was used for wheelchair cushions is
now the size of a bed and used for
entire bodies it was super fun seeing
how purple can cram a massive mattress
into such a small footprint for shipping
the pros of having a purple grid system
over foam is that it can dynamically
adapt your body no matter what your
sleep position is or what body type you
have it smushes down where it needs to
but then remain supportive for the rest
of you and if someone moves on one side
of the bed it doesn't disturb the other
side of the bed
the purple grid system also allows for
airflow so the bed stays cool what start
out as high end medical mattresses and
wheel chair cushions 30 years ago is now
available to the general public and
we're excited to try it out so one thing
cambrie and I decided to go with was the
power base for the purple bed and that's
because the whole thing has motors in it
it can raise the feet and the head one
thing that I don't think purple really
thought about was that the base is also
adjustable so we have the height set to
a perfect height for cambree so she can
transfer in and out of the bed fairly
easily there's a couple different
thicknesses that you can get on your
mattress and we ended up going with the
three because it's not super firm
and not super fluffy it's kind of got
that Goldilocks effect it's kind of that
perfect middle ground between the soft
and the heart if you use the link in the
video description right below this video
you can try out a purple mattress for
100 days and if you don't like it purple
will come take away the mattress for
free and give you a full refund
plus there's a 10 year warranty on we're
pretty excited to try it out use thanks
to purple for sponsoring this video I
really do enjoy seeing how everything is
made I feel like we're Mister Rogers we
just went to one of those factories just
show all the kids alright it really is
that and yeah link is down in the
description room there we go
thanks stuff for watching I'll see you
around
