Best Mattress

Most mattress retailers have warranties up to 10 years, but if you read the fine print there are many things that can void their warranties.  Here is an excerpt of the Purple mattress warranty, note I have highlighted the things that could be prevented by a mattress protector:

“This warranty shall not apply if Purple determines in its reasonable discretion that the mattress or foundation has been damaged, abused, or neglected; it shall be reasonable without limitation to make such determination if the following are present: Tears, stains, odors, unsanitary conditions, folds, footprints, burns, cuts, or signs of jumping on the bed, rodents, insect damage or other infestation, damage from liquids or gels or blood or bodily fluids or other fluids, or damage from weather or sun exposure. Purple highly recommends the use of a very stretchy, breathable mattress protector because without such protection your mattress may not be clean enough or undamaged enough to have this warranty apply. Please note that a non-stretchy or non-breathable mattress protector (or non-stretchy tight sheets) will negate much of the benefit of The Purple® Bed.”

As you can see from my video above, all of the mattress protectors that were tested kept liquids off of the mattresses that I used for testing.  In the first 30 seconds of the video you can see the wine and juice pooling in the tufted sections of the mattress closest to the camera (DreamCloud).  The Purple mattress protector that was on that mattress collected all of the liquid and after a few minutes not a drop went through.

I don’t have any rodents or “other infestation” to test on, so I’ll just take the manufacturers’ word that they prevent it.  This is a case where I’ll trust the FTC to regulate for false advertising.  There is no way I’m going to acquire an infestation just to see if my mattress protectors can keep them away from my mattresses.
