Casper vs Purple Mattress

Casper is a company that changed the mattress industry forever with its online-only business model.  They have had amazing success since they first launched and the company is now worth a LOT of money.  Purple started with a Kickstarter campaign and has also seen good success since their launch.

As the popularity of both mattresses have grown, people naturally wonder how they compare to one another.  In this article, I’ll try to highlight the main similarities and differences between the two mattresses and help your decision if you are down to Purple vs Casper.

Key Similarities

• Both have the same overall thickness (9.5”)
• Both have a similar business model (online-only)
• Both have just one firmness level
• Both are known for great customer service and friendly trial periods/return policies
• Both generally have great customer reviews
• Both use good, durable materials

Key Differences

• Purple has a bouncier/more resilient top layer
• With Casper, most people will sink into the mattress a bit more than with Purple
• Casper does well with sleeping cool, but Purple addresses this better than just about any other mattress
• Casper is about $150 cheaper than Purple (not including any potential discounts)

Construction/Feel

The Purple mattress is 9.5” thick, with 2” of hyper-elastic polymer over two layers of polyfoam.  The key to the mattress is the hyper-elastic polymer.  It does an amazing job of keeping the mattress from getting hot, is highly pressure-relieving, and is very bouncy/resilient.  You feel more like you are sleeping “on” the mattress rather than sinking into it too much.

See the feel of Purple here

The Casper is 9.5” thick, with 1.5” of latex, over 1.5” of memory foam, over two layers of polyfoam.  With Casper, you sink into the mattress just a little bit, but nothing like you would with a more traditional memory foam mattress.  There is some bounce to it, but not nearly as much as with Purple.  It has a more middle-of-the-road foam feel that does resemble a healthy mix of latex and memory foam traits.

Both mattresses have good durable materials.  The main differences are the feel.  If you want a bouncier feel, Purple might be the way to go.  If you want a more standard feel, then Casper may be the way to go.  If you are worried about sleeping hot, both do a good job at addressing, with Purple probably having a slight edge.

Price

Purple offers its Queen at $999, including free shipping.

Casper offers its Queen at $850, including free shipping.

Pick Purple If:

• You Like A Lot Of Bounce– Purple is definitely the bouncier of the two.  Some people like this a lot, while others don’t.  If you like having extra bounce, then Purple might be the best choice.
• You Are Really Sensitive To A Hot Mattress– Both mattresses do a good job at sleeping cool, but I would give the slight edge to Purple in this category.
• You Prefer Sleeping “On” The Mattress– If you don’t like sinking into your mattress, then Purple may be more apt for you.  With Casper there is a bit of sink, but with Purple there’s definitely less.

See my full Purple mattress review.

Pick Casper If:

• You Prefer A More Traditional Feel– The Casper feel probably caters to a greater variety of sleepers because it is a mix of latex and memory foam.  There isn’t too much bounce, you sink into the mattress a little bit, and overall the materials will probably feel more familiar to people.
• You Want To Save A Little Extra Money– If you really can’t decide and think you’ll like either one, then you will save at least an extra hundred dollars by going with the Casper.
• You Want More 3rd Party Validation– Given that Casper has been around for much longer, there are so many different reviews available for the mattress than with Purple currently.

See my full Casper mattress review.

Overall

I enjoyed my time sleeping on both mattresses, and I think a lot of people will too.  Both are great options, so I don’t think you can go wrong with either one.  Take a look at some of the major differences and see how they relate to your personal preferences, and compare them to my other mattress reviews as well.  From there, you should be able to make a well informed decision.

Loom And Leaf Vs Zenhaven

If you are deep into your research at this point, you will probably know that the Loom and Leaf and Zenhaven mattresses are both made by the same company, Saatva.  As a result, you will get the same great customer service with either mattress.  These two mattresses are very different in their construction, so the choice should be clear for you which one you should get once you start to learn the details.  I’ll try to highlight the main differences to help you out if you are making the choice of Loom and Leaf vs Zenhaven.

Key Similarities

• Great value
• Top notch customer service
• Great trial periods / return policies
• Great initial reviews
• Great materials in the construction
• Both come from the same company

Key Differences

• Loom and Leaf is a memory foam mattress, while Zenhaven is all natural latex
• Loom and Leaf is slower-moving, while Zenhaven is very responsive
• L&L has a more sleeping “in” the mattress feel than Zenhaven does
• Zenhaven is most likely to be more durable
• Zenhaven uses 100% natural materials
• Zenhaven weighs a lot more

Reasons You Might Want To Pick Zenhaven

Going Green– Loom and Leaf does use bio-based foams, but if you want to really go green and have natural materials, Zenhaven is the clear choice.

Durability– If you want to have your mattress for a very long time, the materials of the Zenhaven are more durable.

You Want A More Responsive Sleeping Surface– If you want your mattress to respond immediately to your movements, then Zenhaven is the clear choice.  L&L has the traditional, slow-moving memory foam feel, while Zenhaven adapts very quickly to your movements.

Take a look at the full Zenhaven review

Reasons You Might Want To Pick Loom And Leaf

You Are On A Budget– Loom And Leaf is a great mattress, and what it makes it really special is how affordable it is.  If you are on more of a budget, it can be a really great choice.

You Are Looking For Memory Foam– Memory foam has a very distinctive feel that I have found is either love or hate.  If you are used to the memory foam feel, Loom and Leaf should definitely be the choice for you.

You Sleep With A Partner– L&L really shines with its motion isolation.  That means if you sleep with a partner, when that person moves around at night, you won’t be disturbed.  This is just one factor of many, but it’s something Loom and Leaf is especially good at.

Take a look at the full Loom and Leaf review

Bottom Line

Both mattresses are great choices.  There are some major differences between them, so think about what you are looking for, read what I’ve highlighted, and then you should be able to make a great choice.

Saatva Vs Zenhaven

The Saatva and Zenhaven mattresses are made by the same company (the Saatva company). As a result, you can expect a lot of similarities when buying either one. They have similar sleep trial periods, return policies, etc. However, the two mattress are substantially different in their construction, so in my opinion there should generally be a pretty clear choice for you if you are looking at these two mattresses. I’ll try to highlight the major differences to help you if you are making the final decision of Saatva vs Zenhaven.

Key Similarities

• Made by the same company
• Online-only business model
• Great cost savings/value
• Similar trial periods, return policies
• Great customer service
• Both have firmness options

Key Differences

• Saatva is an innerspring mattress, while Zenhaven is all natural latex
• Zenhaven uses more premium/costly materials
• Zenhaven is bouncier/more resilient
• Saatva has some green materials, but Zenhaven uses only 100% green materials
• Zenhaven will most likely be more durable over time
• Zenhaven is much heavier

Reasons You Might Want To Pick Zenhaven

All-Natural– While Saatva does use fairly green materials, Zenhaven uses all-natural materials. If you want to go all the way green, then Zenhaven would be the choice for you.

You Want Your Mattress For A Long Time– Saatva has good durability, but the latex in Zenhaven is extremely durable. If you plan on having your mattress for a very long time, then this might be a factor for you.

You Want Extra Bounce/Resilience– Saatva does have good bounce, but the latex in Zenhaven gives extra bounce/resilience. This means when you move around in the bed, the mattress responds immediately to your movements.

Read the full Zenhaven review

Reasons You Might Want To Pick Saatva

Save Money– The Saatva does cost considerably less than the Zenhaven because of how costly the materials are in the Zenhaven. If you are on a budget or don’t think you’ll have the mattress forever, then Saatva may be the way to go.

You Prefer The Traditional Innerspring Feel– If you have traditionally slept on innerspring mattresses and are used to that feel, then you would probably prefer the Saatva over the Zenhaven.

Read the full Saatva review

Bottom Line

I think these two mattresses are different enough that you should be able to make a clear decision. If you have the budget and want a completely green mattress, then certainly the Zenhaven is the choice for you. If you don’t want to spend as much money, and you want a more traditional mattress, then Saatva will be the one for you. Either one is a good choice, but do some quick research and you should be able to tell which one is best for you.

Ghostbed vs Purple Mattress

Ghostbed and Purple are two companies that have had great success in the online mattress game. While both are incredibly popular, they are also very different from each other as well.

I’ll try my best to highlight the main differences to help you in your decision if you are down to Ghostbed vs Purple.

Key Similarities

• Similar business model (online-only)
• Both offer financing options
• Both have durable materials

Key Differences

• Ghostbed is 1.5” thicker
• Ghostbed costs $750, while Purple costs $999 for a Queen
• Ghostbed has latex foam over memory foam; Purple’s top layer is a hyper-elastic polymer
• Purple is bouncier than the Ghostbed
• Purple is a new company, while Ghostbed is under a parent company that has been in the mattress industry for a long time
• Purple may have a slight edge on motion transfer

Construction/Feel

Ghostbed has 1.5” of latex foam, over 2” of 4 lb. memory foam, over 7.5” of 2 lb. polyfoam.  All of the components are good, durable materials that should last a good while and be appropriate for people of all weight ranges.

To me, the feel is best described as “balanced.” (compared to other mattress reviews)  You sink into the mattress just slightly.  There is a slight amount of bounce to it.  It conforms well like a memory foam mattress without the feeling of getting stuck.

See the feel of Ghostbed here

Purple is 9.5” thick.  It has a top layer of 2” of hyper-elastic polymer over 2 layers of polyfoam.  The top layer is designed to be extremely pressure-relieving.  To me, it felt a little firm but very pressure-relieving at the same time (a very unique feel).  It definitely felt like I was sleeping “on” the mattress rather than “in” the mattress.  It was also very bouncy.

See the feel of Purple mattress here

Overall, the feel is different between the two mattresses.  Ghostbed was more of a traditional, balanced feel with a little bit of sinking into the mattress.  Purple was bouncy, a bit firmer, and more of a sleeping “on” the mattress feel.  One feel isn’t necessarily better than the other.  It’s really up to your personal preferences.

Price

The Purple is $999 for a Queen, including free shipping.

The Ghostbed is $750 for a Queen, including free shipping.

You can typically get a discount on both of them, but either way the Ghostbed is going to be less expensive than the Purple.

Pick Ghostbed If:

• You Want To Save Some Extra Money– If you really can’t decide between the two mattresses, then maybe cost savings could be the deciding factor.  You will be able to save at least $200 by going with the Ghostbed.
• You Prefer A More Standard Foam Feel– If you want a more traditional feel, I think that’s what Ghostbed provides.  You get pressure relief and a slight bounce/resilience, all without sinking in too much and getting stuck in the mattress.

Learn more in my Ghostbed review.

Pick Purple If:

• You Like Bounce– Purple is definitely bouncier than the Ghostbed.  The top layer instantly responds to your movement.  Some people like more bounce, while others like less bounce.  If you want more bounce, then Purple may be the way to go.
• You Are Extra Sensitive To Heat– Ghostbed does a great job of staying cool.  Purple might do the best job at it that we’ve seen.  The construction is set up in such a way that it doesn’t have any heat retention at all.
• You Don’t Mind Taking A “Risk” On A New Company / Mattress Type– Purple is a brand new company, so you won’t have the benefit of years of customer experience.  The hyper-elastic polymer is also a new innovation in the online-only mattress market.  Some people might see this is a slight “risk,” but the return policy is really good, so I don’t think it’s much of a risk.

Overall

It’s really hard to say one mattress is better than the other since they are so different.  I personally really liked both of them.  Take a look at the key differences, and hopefully you can come a little closer to making the right decision for you.

HIBR Pillow Review

The HIBR pillow looked cool to me because of its cooling aspect and unique shapes. Overall I really liked the pillow, but don’t think it’s for everyone. Read on for my full HIBR pillow review.

HIBR Pillow Basics

HIBR pillows come in three shapes, the Side, Simple and Silhouette.  Since I’m a side sleeper, I went with the side (which has a unique shape to cater to side sleepers).

The pillow is made up of two parts, the “Magic Core” and the “Infused Cooling Layer” (parts named by HIBR).  The Magic Core has gel capsules embedded in the memory foam, and the Infused Cooling Layer is a layer actually connected to the Magic Core to allow the pillow to breathe.

My Experience

The HIBR pillow is memory foam, and comes compressed.  This means you’ll need to give the pillow some time to take shape.  Watch me unbox the pillow in the video below:

The pillow takes general shape pretty quickly, but I gave it few hours before I slept on it to let it take shape and firmness.

After it decompresses, the pillow actually looks great, almost exactly like it does on the website.  This is great to see, unfortunately a lot of pillows don’t look as good as they do on the website/tv upon arrival.  See the decompressed HIBR pillow below:

There aren’t too many pillows specifically targeting side sleepers, so I was interested to see how it actually fit when laying on the side.

Though the shape of the pillow looked to be just a slight tweak, it actually did make a difference for sleeping on the side.  The shape is small and compact, and the curve on the bottom let my shoulder get further “into” the pillow, making it a more comfortable feel.

The big thing with a lot of pillows for side sleepers is the pillow height, and for me at least this pillow was exactly the right height.  It’s not a thick pillow, and only sinks in a little bit, so I felt like it aligned my spine well and was very supportive.

Though the pillow targets side sleepers, most people only spend part of the night on their side – so I tested the pillow throughout the night when sleeping on my back and stomach as well.  The pillow felt comfortable in these positions as well, definitely works for all three positions.

One thing to note is the pillow size – it’s a bit on the small size (relatively), which I actually prefer for the pillow under my head.  But if you’re looking for a larger/cushiony pillow (like a lot of down pillows) then this one won’t be the one for you.

They do promote the cooling technology a lot, and in my personal experience with the pillow it did sleep cool for a memory foam pillow.

Other things to note

• They offer a 100 night guarantee (full refund within 100 nights)
• Free shipping for all models

Final recommendation

Overall the HIBR pillow was great, I really liked the size and material, and I think the shape (for the one I tested) is a step up from most pillows I’ve reviewed for side sleeping.  It’s also competitively priced, in my opinion offering a good value for the product.

I Love My Pillow Review

I Love My Pillow is a brand that I hear about a lot – they are known for having quality products, as well as options to please different types of sleepers.  I decided to run the full gamut and test out three of them.

Overall I like the pillows, and personally I definitely prefer one out of the bunch for myself – and have some thoughts on the others (see how it stacks up HERE).  Read on for my full I Love My Pillow review.

The Basics

I Love My Pillow is a popular pillow brand that offers several types of pillows to please all sleepers.  Personally I tried three – the Signature Contour pillow, the Gel Memory Foam pillow, and the Memory Down pillow.  The company also offers a Classic Traditional Pillow and a Travel Pillow.

Overall I thought the three pillows I tried were really nice and have a feeling of good quality.  They each have very distinct feels, and cater to different sleepers or preferences.  I found the pillows to be a good size, having nice length/width but not having too much height to disturb spinal alignment.

Favorite Feature: One common feature to note is that they all have removable covers, so you can unzip them and put them in the washing machine (make sure to check washing instructions before doing so).

Complaints: The pillows felt a little too big (for me) to put between the legs for side sleepers.  Of the three, the down pillow felt the best for this for me since it’s a little less firm than the other two.

Favorite I Love My Pillow? My favorite of the three was the Signature Contour, but read on for my experience with each one.

Note: I Love My Pillow is an entirely different company and product than My Pillow (from the infomercials)

Signature Contour Pillow Review

The Signature Contour pillow comes in Queen and King size (I got the Queen).  It comes in the below box featuring the I Love My Pillow stitching in the upper right hand corner.

You can see the Queen is a nice size, can be comfortably held, but not so big that it will overwhelm the bed.  I don’t have the King size to compare, but make sure you like a pillow a good bit bigger than this one if you go with the King.

Though a well-sized pillow in terms of width and height, the biggest concern for me for memory foam pillows is that they will be too thick and misalign the spine.  I think the I Love My Pillow height was perfect for me in this case.

This pillow also has a very soft, almost fuzzy cover, which feels great even without a pillow case.  I was worried about it having issues after washing, but I’ve washed it twice so far and the texture and feel have remained constant.

The other thing to note is the slight cavity in the middle of the pillow, my favorite design feature.  It results in extra support for the neck, letting the head drop in, making it a good fit for side sleepers especially.

The other concern with memory foam is that it will be too firm, and result in a soreness after a night of sleeping on it.  The I Love My Pillow is just a tad firmer than I like in my memory foam pillows (but a tad softer than the average memory foam pillow), but didn’t result in any soreness, and definitely gave great support.

Why is this my favorite of the I Love My Pillows?  I like the memory foam pillow style (when the firmness is right), so this hit the spot for me.  However, read on for my second pick from this group.

Memory Down Pillow Review

The Memory Down pillow is actually quite aptly named when thinking about the feel – it does feel somewhere between a memory foam and down pillow.

The first thing that I noted was that compared to the other two, this one is more compressible.  For me this made it my pick for putting it between my legs when I’m sleeping on my side.

Although this pillow is more compressible than the other two, the height is a bit higher, and so it ended up not being my pick when sleeping on my side.

Overall I really liked this pillow, and used it mostly between the legs, though I think it could be good if you are sleeping on your back as well.  The feel is really unique (hard to describe), in terms of feel it might even be my favorite of the three.

Gel Memory Pillow Review

Third place does not mean down and out, just my least favorite from three great options!  Again I went with the queen.

This one is definitely targeting a person looking for a memory foam pillow that sleeps cool.  It includes the gel, and you can see in the cover that there are little holes to let are flow in and out of the pillow more easily.

In my personal testing, I can’t say the pillow slept noticeably cooler than either of the two options (it didn’t sleep hot at all either), but I am also not the most sensitive person to pillow heat.

The pillow is very comfortable, generally a similar feel to the contour, though I found this one to be thicker, and thus not as great for me when sleeping on my side.  I found this pillow to be most comfortable for me when sleeping on my back.

Final Recommendation

The I Love My Pillow line is definitely high quality, and are certainly amongst the best pillows I have reviewed.  Though I outlined my favorites in this review, know this is very subjective, and you may have a totally different favorite I Love My Pillow based on your sleeping position and preferences.

Only word of caution I have is that they are on the larger side – so if you’re considering a King, make sure you’re ready for some serious pillow action!

So yes, final word, I can definitely say I love my I Love My Pillow.

Key Similarities

• Similar Business Model (online-only)
• Both mattresses are all-foam

Key Differences

• Loom and Leaf is more of a luxury mattress
• Loom and Leaf has memory foam in its comfort layer; T&N has polyfoam
• The L&L has a slow-moving, memory foam feel; T&N has a more resilient foam feel
• T&N ships free in a box; L&L has a shipping charge but with white-glove delivery
• Loom and Leaf is in a higher price range than Tuft And Needle

Construction/Feel

Loom and Leaf is a memory foam mattress in its truest sense.  It has two layers of memory foam in its comfort layer.  The feel is slow-moving, similar to the Tempur-Pedic feel many people know of.  You sink into the mattress just a little bit, but the mattress is more resilient than most memory foam mattresses.  The mattress uses durable foams that should last a long time.

See the feel of the Loom & Leaf in the video below

Tuft and Needle is all polyfoam.  It is 3” of 3 lb. density polyfoam over 7” of 1.8 lb. density polyfoam.  To me, you sink into the mattress just a little bit, but it’s a little bit firmer than the L&L relaxed firm.  It is fairly resilient, more so than the L&L.  It sleeps fairly cool and does a pretty good job with motion transfer.

See the feel of the Tuft & Needle below

The Loom and Leaf definitely has a more luxury feel to it.  They pulled out all the bells and whistles with its construction.  Tuft and Needle kept things simple in an effort to make the price point as attractive to as many people as possible.

Price

Loom And Leaf is $999 for a Queen.  This does not include a delivery charge.

Tuft And Needle is $600 for a Queen, including free shipping.

Sleeping Cool

Loom and Leaf takes some extra steps to make sure the mattress can sleep cool.  For that reason, and based on personal experience, I think it does a slightly better job of this between the two mattresses.

Pick Loom And Leaf If:

• You Like The Memory Foam Feel– If you are used to / like the slow-moving memory foam feel, that’s exactly what you get with Loom and Leaf.
• Motion Isolation Is A Big Issue For You– The high-density memory foam used in the L&L makes it great for couples who don’t want to be bothered by the other person’s movement at night.
• You Want A More Luxury Experience– Those no question Loom and Leaf pulled out all the stops to make the mattress a luxury experience.  If it’s in your budget, then you may want to pull the trigger on the L&L.

Learn more in my Loom & Leaf mattress review.

Loom & Leaf mattress

Pick Tuft And Needle If:

• You Are On A Budget Or Don’t Plan On Having The Mattress Too Long– Tuft and Needle is certainly more affordable than the Loom And Leaf.  If you don’t plan on having the mattress a long time, then it probably makes more sense money-wise to go for the T&N.
• You Want A More Resilient Mattress– If you don’t like the slow-moving feel of memory foam, then the T&N offers a foam feel with some bounce/resilience.

Learn more in my Tuft and Needle mattress review.

Overall

I think both mattresses offer a great value.  The construction is so different that I think the choice should be pretty clear.  Either way, I don’t think you can really go wrong with either choice, and the return policies are so good there’s no big risk in going for either of them.

Boll & Branch Sheets Review

Boll & Branch are one of the most asked about sheets on my site.  They have a reputation for quality, and though definitely not cheap, they are at a reasonable price point for 100% organic bedding.

Overall I’m a big fan of the sheets, though I had a few complaints as well.  Read on for the full Boll & Branch review.

You will love Boll & Branch if you…

• Want organic bedding – Boll & Branch is 100% organic cotton with non-toxic dyes
• Want a soft luxurious feel – these sheets are a Sateen weave, giving them a nice silky feel
• Value tasteful and classic design – Boll & Branch does offer a few designs and patterns, sticking to a very classic look that I really like compared to other options (obviously you can judge for yourself)

You may not like Boll & Branch if you…

• Don’t value organic bedding – though reasonably priced for the quality, if you don’t care about the organic component, you can probably get a similar quality at a lower price
• Want a Percale weave – Percale is a dry crispy sheet, vs a more silky feel from Boll & Branch.  One feel isn’t better than another, it really comes down to personal preference, but Boll and Branch only offers one type.

My Experience

To start, the packaging of Boll & Branch is really first class.  The box comes tied up with a ribbon, and the sheets come in three separate wraps tied together by a second ribbon.

After going through the wrapping, you are left with the sheets, with each component individually wrapped.

I bought the pleated sheet set (twin size), which includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillow cases.  There are several colors available in the hem, and other styles include hemmed, banded, trimmed, seedling, and children’s hemmed.

Out of the box the sheets were already pretty soft, and with this pair I actually used them one night before washing.  Still after two washes the sheets felt even softer and fit the bed even better.

The sheets were a great fit.  Note that the fitted sheet is actually quite deep, and in my opinion will fit a very thick mattress.  I had it on a relatively thin mattress (~8 inches thick) and it managed to fit this size as well.

I will say that the pillow cases looked great, but I put them on some pillows that were slightly smaller than non-standard pillows, and they did hang off it a little bit and hid the beautiful pleated pattern.  If you’re planning on making this sheet set look as great as possible, you’re going to need to consider the pillow size.

Sheet Construction and Company

This company definitely values eco-friendly and fair trade practices, and thus the sheets are 100% organic cotton and are manufactured in a Certified Fair Trade factory in India.  The sheets have 300 thread count in a Sateen weave.

The company offers a variety of other textiles, including duvets, shams, towels, knit blankets, and scarves.  For all products, the company sells direct to the consumer to deliver a luxury-quality product at a more affordable price.

Other things to note

• They have returns within 30 days of purchase (note: shipping is not refunded)
• Boll & Branch donates to Not For Sale, a non-profit that fights against human trafficking

Final Recommendation

I really love the feel of these sheets (I’m a big fan of quality Sateen weave) and love what the company stands for (eco-friendly and fair trade).  They are a bit pricier than other sheets I’ve reviewed, but in my mind are still a tremendous value.  In terms of comfort and feel, they might be my favorite sheets reviewed to date.  Overall highly recommended.
