I'm with you Jeff! I have been sleeping on my Original Purple pillow for almost 3 years now -- before I purchased the Purple mattress -- and I'm typing this while sitting on a Purple seat cushion on my desk chair -- but back to Harmony. I've only had the new Harmony Pillow for 2 nights so far and LOVE LOVE LOVE it so much better than the original. When I ordered the 10-lb. purple pillow, they had just stopped including the inflatable "booster" that you could insert in the back to boost the pillow. I got used to the flatness and it was great for awhile. Once I got rid of my worn out Tempur-Pedic mattress and purchased a Purple Mattress, the combination was great. For awhile. After a couple of years, I started getting headaches and my chiropractor deduced it was from the pillow being too flat and not cradling my neck. Fast forward to today, the harmony (I have the 6.5" version too) does feel like it's cradling my neck and after just 2 nights, my headaches have gone away when I wake up from sleep. I still get headaches during the day but from other mobility issues, just not when I awake. I never purchased the plush pillow but I was a beta tester for a prototype that was awful. I was hesitant to pay $125 (yes, found a discount coupon online) for a pillow but after yours and other online reviews, I ordered my Harmony pillow and I highly recommend it too. P.S. I have a flannel sheet and pillow case on my bed because it's cold outside (I'm in NJ) but I also have 2 sets of Purple sheets and I can't wait to test the coolness of the new pillow with the purple bamboo pillow case too.
Wow. You have had the same experience that I have had with the purple Harmony pillow. It's interesting how one little pillow can completely change ones sleep. I am still putting available funds into a purple mattress account one day.... Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hey Jeff. So I went from having 2 MyPillows on my bed which I absolutely loved to just recently getting the purple harmony pillow. I’ve had mine for only a few days but I know what you’re saying about noticing a significant difference right away. I absolutely love the pillow I know it’s expensive but I am not afraid to invest in my sleep. I have the original purple mattress as well and the two together are just unreal.
I watched all of your Purple pillow reviews and really appreciate your thoroughness, doing the different time frames of use, etc. Very helpful as I decide whether to save up for the Harmony or not. I'm pretty poor (my little monthly SS retirement check means I have an extremely tight budget), so it's a LOT of money. But, I've just spent 3 nights sleeping in one at a house sitting job I'm doing right now, and wow, it's a phenomenal pillow for me! From the first night I was blown away by its comfort and support. I'm not sure if it's 6.5 or 7.5 (I'll have to measure), but, damn, I'm hooked! I already love my current pillow and take it with me everywhere, but this Harmony had me from the minute I laid down on it, so after three amazingly comfortable nights, I will admit that I'm in a financial dilemma, but a good night's sleep is more important to my health, so I'll have to figure it out! Thanks for truly excellent reviews... I subscribed!
the Harmony 6.5 is my all time favorite pillow. I take it with me even when I travel. Thanks for sharing your story! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I own the original purple pillow. Very cool and unique pillow. Another Very good brand of pillow that is very cool is Bedgear. I own the Bedgear Cosmo, and it's almost as cool as the original purple pillow, but it's more comfortable. Bedgear is coming out with an even cooler pillow called the Nite Ice, but it sells for $300 here in Canada. I may splurge on that, as it's the only pillow that can give purple some serious competition.
ive been on a crazy pillow grind lol. i got three pillow cubes now...all amazing. i use really only one of them my main one and I havent had neck pain in two years due to how great it is. i got a purple harmony recently. i had to exchange the medium height for the tall. the medium had my head sinking a bit too much. they feel so good though. im going to get that revamped original purple next. i tried it in the store and would have actually gotten it if they had one for sale in there. the demo one was crazy special and with boosters im thinking it can surpass my pillow cube in greatness
I just ordered my purple harmony because I’m having reconstructive surgery on my ankle and I’m going to be laid up for a bit. That’s how I justified the purchase at least. I’m hoping it doesn’t disappoint! Thanks for your review!
They apparently were listening to you when you made this video. They now have a longer king-size, I just bought two of them. I’m hoping it’s as amazing as you say it is because my current cheap pillow sucks lol.
I tell you what, 2.5 years later I still ise mine, it even goes with me when I travel. Let me know what you think when you get yours. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Late posting, but I've spent hundreds of dollars on pillows, almost all were useless after forty five days. Also have purchased two harmony king size tall, can't wait for late August
I won the original purple pillow in a giveaway, and I bought the purple bed a few days ago and got a purple bundle with it, which basically gets me a harmony pillow for free with purchase of the purple mattress protector and sheets that I was planning to get anyway
Hi Jeff… Thanks for coming back and giving your review after some time with that pillow. I hope maybe the guys that make the pillow send you a mattress to test because I’m going to be in the market for a mattress in the next year And I don’t wanna put up money for a product I haven’t seen a good review on. I find your reviews very informative and you cover a lot of different areas about the product. Thanks for taking the time to give us an update.
Uh...about that...I just signed up for one...ha. one of my subscribers told me about it. The affiliate does not change the price for the consumer it just gives me a little commission for recommending a product.
Does that have higher loft than original purple pillow after your head has compressed the pillow? Which sleeps cooler? I just got the original over my tempurpedic or support pillow which is duck feather with shredded memory foam inserts. I like it. Not sure if im gonna switch. This purple OG pillow came with 2 foam inserts that you can add maybe another inch of loft to the pillow. Im surprised you didn't mention those. Thanks
Mine didn't come with the inserts. They stopped for including them for a little while. I think they have started including them again...the harmony is a softer pillow than the original. A little higher loft but a fraction of the weight. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u we like the original purple pillow. My wife has one booster and I like it with no boosters. We probably won't like the harmony then if it has more loft. Tempurpedic precision support pillows are nice but lose support through the night. Good thing they were 150 bogo free.
I'm considering buying the harmony pillow since I've been using the 10 lb original one for awhile but it's not cool to sleep on anymore. I have a normal mattress too so , I'm really skeptical about cooling pillows since I bought a buncha temper pedic pillows and they weren't great. I can't sleep well anymore so I'm gonna give this a shot unless someone else has a recommendation
@@Jeffreviews4u I relate but the bear pillow is actually a good cooling pillow, it just didn't have the neck and head support I'm used too from Purple. Order the harmony one a bit ago and I'm still waiting for it now
Nice review Jeff! Can I suggest from one UA-camr to another....tighten up those edits..lol. cut that extra second or two during your transitions. Keep up the good work!
I have been using a pillowcase with it, and it's definitely not as cool as it is without the pillow case. I heard that purples pillowcases give you the same effect as the cooling pillow itself. That being said I've never tried them.
@@coreyconway I'm primarily a side sleeper and it works good for me. After if have been using it over the past couple of months I wish I bought the tall version. I find myself fluffing the pillow frequently. The inch difference may be worth it hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I have an original but it gives me neck pain. Is the harmony softer than the original? I am deciding between the harmony and the brooklyn bedding talalay latex pillow they make. It is about a 100 dollar difference, but I will spend it if it will help my neck pain go away.
I've had the Purple Harmony pillow now for like 3 days... and I don't know if its just me being paranoid but I kids feel like it doesn't have the bounce that it had during the first two days... I got the 7.5" pillow but no where on the box or pamphlet did it say the sizing and honestly i don't know where to compare it but the size looks awfully similar to the one you reviewed and I know you opted for the 6.5 in. That being said, I still really find the pillow very comfortable and I love how cool it stays. Will u ever make an updated review on both your mattress and the pillows? (I'd love to see one regarding wear and tear, like I said i've noticed a few differences and its only been 3 nights but I don't know if its just in my head after spending all that money LOL)
I'll be putting out an update on the mattress pretty soon. I also have both pillows and honestly I like the 6.5 better...the 7.5 is too tall. I will put out a comparison of the two of them.
Hey there Jeff. I have loved all your videos about the Purple pillows. My own test of the Harmony pillow left me slightly disappointed. I feel like the latex pillow inside of the awesome Harmony case is just not a high quality pillow itself. I feel like putting the case on the original Purple is actually really cool...and I meant to suggest you try that for this video. (maybe a follow up video?) Initially when I used the harmony, I get neck and upper back pain again and had to go back to the original Purple pillow. My body just seems to have gotten used to its firmer support.
That would be interesting to put the new case over the old pillow. I read on purples website that they recommend people give the product 21 days. I guess that is so we get acclimated to it. Either way if there is pain I'd ditch it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@Jeffreviews4u Hey Jeff! I was wondering if you got a chance to try the Harmony pillow case with the Purple pillow yet and what your thoughts were. : ) I found it to be such a plush experience myself, but then I reunited the proper cases with the proper pillows, and my wife uses the Harmony now with the Purple sheets pillow case on top of it. Your other comment that suggested the Purple sheets pillow case was spot on, and it doesn't negate the cooling effect of the pillow. Did you see my other comment suggesting you get an Original Purple mattress off Craigslist instead of a Purple 4?? It seems to have disappeared, but I hope you got to read it and found it informative. It sucked writing it tbh since it was so long. : (
@@michaelpessolano9457 I have yet to order the purple cases for the pillow. My wife bought some cooling cases from bed bath and beyond that seem to do the trick. I didnt see your other message. I never thought about looking on craigslist. Are they new products? I've never done much looking on craigslist.
@@Jeffreviews4u Reposting my other comment; I wanted to warn you about the Purple Hybrid mattresses. There is a foam border around the Purple top, and around the inner spring coils. On my Purple 4, these borders have begun to fall off of the springs, ruining the support of the bed. I've only had it six months. I would also say that I didn't enjoy the foam borders even when they weren't falling off. The original Original Purple mattress does not have this foam border around the Purple material, it goes all the way to the edge of the mattress. Now, Purple has recently redesigned what they call Original Purple mattress to include these foam borders, as well as changing the Mattress cover design. The Hybrid / Purple 2-3-4 have low coil counts for inner spring mattresses, and some of that has to do with the foam borders preventing them from going to the edges, but it also has a lot to do with saving cost. These coils start sagging and making popping noises after a few months (depending on how much time you spend in bed). I have both a Queen size of the old Original, as well as a Full Sized that I put on a Futon and use as a Purple Couch. You can find a King Size Original Purple on Craigslist easy, often for $200 in brand new condition.
@@Jeffreviews4u Yeah you just go to Craigslist's search options, and I set my search distance for up to 200 miles from my zip code, and King Sized Original Purple mattresses can go between $200 and $750 - often in brand new (or basically new) condition. The Original is what you want, with the all white cover. The Purple grid goes all the way to the edges on that one, it's their highest quality made mattress. What I really think Purple needs to come out with is a 2 inch comfort grid mattress topper, so you can upgrade any mattress into a Purple. And also selling the Harmony pillow case on its own, upgrade any Pillow into a Purple. Those two products would make Purple technology super accessible to everyone and skyrocket Purple's presence and reputation in the market.
I bought the harmony tall 7.5 inch. I am a side sleeper and it is NOT comfortable. It's is very soft and feels like I need 2 pillows to give me proper support. The curve on the pillow requires me to sleep higher on the pillow which digs into my neck and doesn't feel right. This pillows is going back.
I just got the medium pillow and it was defective. It was lefting on both sides while my head was down. They will take it back being defective, but I am wondering if I have them send back a high do you think that would be a problem? They mention large and medium frame. what do they consider large frame to go with the high pillow? I am 6 foot tall and 225
I'm not sure what "lefting" means. I use the small purple harmony pillow and I love it. I even take it with me when I travel. I tried the larger one but it was too thick for me. Pillows are very subjective to the user. Let us know how things go with the replacement. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u what I meant by lifting was, when my head went down it sank and both sides seemed go up rather than stay flat. What is the snake pillow? I have read reviews on Amazon and a large number of people talk about how the lofts are not true to size. I thought about it and measured. The medium is not 6.5 inches, it is about 4.
@@hochhasd1 ...by snake...I meant small...lol (auto-correct strikes again). Gotcha on the lifting...I haven't noticed the pillow pulling up on the sides. It lays relatively flat, of course where my head is, is more compressed.
@@Jeffreviews4u that is the thing, purple claims a big framed person should get a high pillow, but never gives the answer what large framed person means. I currently sleep on a down pillow that is high, but the filling moves around ,which hurts my neck. I thought the purple harmony is supposed to be high, but not sink or move around when your head goes down on it, but it did.
@Jeff Reviews4u are you a back or side sleeper? I recently got my boyfriend and I the purple harmony pillows and he loves his. I got the taller one being a side sleeper and while it's super comfy, I feel like my body is either having a hard time adjusting to a supportive pillow or it tilts my neck weird and that's causing the stiff neck in the morning.
I'm testing out the harmony med vs the og. Seems to me that the height of the pillows ends up being basically the same with your head on them, since the harmony sinks in a little and the og doesn't. Was this your experience?
w/o the grid, it’s just a regular latex pillow. the latex part of the pillow is very conforming and bouncy if that makes sense. very pressure relieving. i, personally, do not notice a difference. i just don’t feel the thin grid when it is taken off. still, the pillow is worth the money imo. have never slept better. neck problems are gone
I originally loved the 10 pound one but once I broke it in, it causes neck pain and headaches because I have broad shoulders so I needed a taller pillow
@@Tiffani- For me, it didn’t need any break in time. I still use it to this day and it’s just as good as the first day i got it and i will never use any other pillow
Hey Jeff, just found your channel and subscribed. Keep it up man, I'm sure you'll be successful! Quick question, I know you're planning on getting a new Purple mattress but I was wondering which version are you planning on getting? I'm torn. Between the 2 and 3 hybrid, what are your thoughts?
Thanks for the support! I'm looking at the hybrid 2 or 3 as well - I'm leaning toward the 3...firm but not too firm. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Well their price went back up! I tried out mattresses with this pillow, wish I bought the pillow too but can not justify spending 179.00 tax included….😢
You sleep on pillows for 1/3 of your life and quality of sleep can make a huge impact on your well being. $200 pillows are not all that ridiculous especially if you consider that a good pillow will easily last you a decade or longer. I’ve still got my 12 year old tempurpedic pillow I keep as my roll over side pillow and at the time I bought it, I thought $80 for a pillow was insanity but not anymore.
@@Jeffreviews4u I understand the cost, it is up there.. I look at it as a long term investment.... divided the cost up by 52 and then you get the cost per week... divide it by 2 again and that's two years of ownership. the (other) mattress we have now we have had for 2 years and it is just not making the cut.
The financing options from purple are not practical, I heard Mattress Firm had 0% interest for 3 years. That's more of a doable option. I will probably look into that.
Still use it, and still love it. I just received the 7.5 version and am trying it out too. It's a little taller and longer - which I like. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I know I’m a year late, but that plush pillow is utter garbage. That said this purple mattress is amazing and I’m waiting on my original purple pillow to get to me now. Hoping it works on this very aggressive side sleeper.
I've been looking for a decent pillow for ages, every time I go to the store and look at "extra firm" pillows, they still compress down way too much and seem to provide no support. I'm tired of having to use my hand/arm behind the pillow to support my head. Do you think this would be a good option? I don't want to have to spend that kind of money only to find out it still doesn't perform how I want.
I like the pillow, but a lot of it depends on personal preference. Sounds like you may prefer the 7.5 inch harmony pillow. If you buy it from the purple website you get a 100 night trial. Return it if it doesnt work for you. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@xandro2445 Yup. I understand people have budgets and what not but I've seen a lot of people put down others for investing in sleeping materials. People don't spend much time in their cars but they spend a hell of a lot of money in those things!
this video is kind of useless, after having it for 30 days and liking it better - what exactly makes it better? otherwise why have a 30 day video. are you sleeping better? faster? did you have neck strain before and not now? i would have liked to see a comparison between this one and the slab pillow. so far no video explains what a night or the morning after is like after sleeping on these things.
@@Jeffreviews4u that's true, but compared to the purple slab there must be some results. like i know with the slab, i could never get it to be the right height and be comfortable. like i would add foam it would be higher, but the folds of the rubber would overlap and it would hurt my ear. and i tried at least a dozen variations. right now i have a 2" wedge in there of memory foam, which fill the neck in but i wouldn't call it all that supportive. and i'm hoping the new super pillow will help all of that. but all the reviews thus far are like - here is the pillow, look at the grid, look at the pillow, the pillow is bouncy, watch us lay on the pillow for 5 seconds, stare into camera, mention price, subscribe then on to the next video. to try it out and not mention what is good or bad, that's the video i like to see. it took about a year and a half before the slab started to lose, i don't know the word, structure? and its soft in one spot, rotating it helped. and i'm wondering how this pillow is different than any normal latex pillow.
@@mikesavad a major pro in comparison to the original purple pillow is I no longer need to prop it up. I did a review of the original 10 months ago and my complaint was needing to put pillows under it to angle it properly. I no longer need to do that. I purchased the 6.5 inch and it is pretty good for me. If you need more support the 7.5 may be better.

That would be interesting to put the new case over the old pillow. I read on purples website that they recommend people give the product 21 days. I guess that is so we get acclimated to it. Either way if there is pain I'd ditch it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@Jeffreviews4u Hey Jeff! I was wondering if you got a chance to try the Harmony pillow case with the Purple pillow yet and what your thoughts were. : )
I found it to be such a plush experience myself, but then I reunited the proper cases with the proper pillows, and my wife uses the Harmony now with the Purple sheets pillow case on top of it. Your other comment that suggested the Purple sheets pillow case was spot on, and it doesn't negate the cooling effect of the pillow.
Did you see my other comment suggesting you get an Original Purple mattress off Craigslist instead of a Purple 4??
It seems to have disappeared, but I hope you got to read it and found it informative. It sucked writing it tbh since it was so long. : (
@@michaelpessolano9457 I have yet to order the purple cases for the pillow. My wife bought some cooling cases from bed bath and beyond that seem to do the trick.
I didnt see your other message. I never thought about looking on craigslist. Are they new products? I've never done much looking on craigslist.
@@Jeffreviews4u Reposting my other comment; I wanted to warn you about the Purple Hybrid mattresses. There is a foam border around the Purple top, and around the inner spring coils. On my Purple 4, these borders have begun to fall off of the springs, ruining the support of the bed. I've only had it six months. I would also say that I didn't enjoy the foam borders even when they weren't falling off. The original Original Purple mattress does not have this foam border around the Purple material, it goes all the way to the edge of the mattress. Now, Purple has recently redesigned what they call Original Purple mattress to include these foam borders, as well as changing the Mattress cover design. The Hybrid / Purple 2-3-4 have low coil counts for inner spring mattresses, and some of that has to do with the foam borders preventing them from going to the edges, but it also has a lot to do with saving cost. These coils start sagging and making popping noises after a few months (depending on how much time you spend in bed). I have both a Queen size of the old Original, as well as a Full Sized that I put on a Futon and use as a Purple Couch. You can find a King Size Original Purple on Craigslist easy, often for $200 in brand new condition.
@@Jeffreviews4u Yeah you just go to Craigslist's search options, and I set my search distance for up to 200 miles from my zip code, and King Sized Original Purple mattresses can go between $200 and $750 - often in brand new (or basically new) condition. The Original is what you want, with the all white cover. The Purple grid goes all the way to the edges on that one, it's their highest quality made mattress.
What I really think Purple needs to come out with is a 2 inch comfort grid mattress topper, so you can upgrade any mattress into a Purple. And also selling the Harmony pillow case on its own, upgrade any Pillow into a Purple. Those two products would make Purple technology super accessible to everyone and skyrocket Purple's presence and reputation in the market.
I'm glad to see Diggity Dave from Pimp My Ride cleaned his life up.
In all seriousness I liked the review.
Lol...love pimp my ride. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.
I bought the harmony tall 7.5 inch. I am a side sleeper and it is NOT comfortable. It's is very soft and feels like I need 2 pillows to give me proper support. The curve on the pillow requires me to sleep higher on the pillow which digs into my neck and doesn't feel right. This pillows is going back.
My exact thinking, received my pillow 2 nights ago and I think I'm returning it! Not sure where to go from there though!
I don’t but I am considering getting one but I’m stuck in between the original purple pillow to the purple harmony this video was helpful.
Happy to help! Let us know what you decide.
I just got the medium pillow and it was defective. It was lefting on both sides while my head was down. They will take it back being defective, but I am wondering if I have them send back a high do you think that would be a problem? They mention large and medium frame. what do they consider large frame to go with the high pillow? I am 6 foot tall and 225
I'm not sure what "lefting" means. I use the small purple harmony pillow and I love it. I even take it with me when I travel. I tried the larger one but it was too thick for me. Pillows are very subjective to the user. Let us know how things go with the replacement. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u what I meant by lifting was, when my head went down it sank and both sides seemed go up rather than stay flat. What is the snake pillow? I have read reviews on Amazon and a large number of people talk about how the lofts are not true to size. I thought about it and measured. The medium is not 6.5 inches, it is about 4.
@@hochhasd1 ...by snake...I meant small...lol (auto-correct strikes again). Gotcha on the lifting...I haven't noticed the pillow pulling up on the sides. It lays relatively flat, of course where my head is, is more compressed.
@@Jeffreviews4u that is the thing, purple claims a big framed person should get a high pillow, but never gives the answer what large framed person means. I currently sleep on a down pillow that is high, but the filling moves around ,which hurts my neck. I thought the purple harmony is supposed to be high, but not sink or move around when your head goes down on it, but it did.
Love this old school youtube style video
Awesome - thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I just got mine but I am not having a good sleep so far! did it take you guys a few nights to adapt to it?? I am considering returning it!
I use the purple harmony 6.5 every day and like it a lot. I did read where it could take up to 21 days to adjust to a pillow or mattress.
@@Jeffreviews4uI guess I'll give it a fair shot before pulling off the trigger
I tried the 7.5 and didn't like it at all...too tall for me... if you end up not liking it make sure to send it back before the trial period ends.
@Jeff Reviews4u are you a back or side sleeper? I recently got my boyfriend and I the purple harmony pillows and he loves his. I got the taller one being a side sleeper and while it's super comfy, I feel like my body is either having a hard time adjusting to a supportive pillow or it tilts my neck weird and that's causing the stiff neck in the morning.
@@Bryannathestinkyfrog I'm a side sleeper. I like the shorter of the two pillows.
I'm testing out the harmony med vs the og. Seems to me that the height of the pillows ends up being basically the same with your head on them, since the harmony sinks in a little and the og doesn't. Was this your experience?
How’s this harmony pillow feel with the grid on and with it off? Is the grid even noticeable or too thin to make a difference?
You definitely want to keep the grid on, otherwise it's just an ordinary pillow. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
w/o the grid, it’s just a regular latex pillow. the latex part of the pillow is very conforming and bouncy if that makes sense. very pressure relieving. i, personally, do not notice a difference. i just don’t feel the thin grid when it is taken off. still, the pillow is worth the money imo. have never slept better. neck problems are gone
I originally loved the 10 pound one but once I broke it in, it causes neck pain and headaches because I have broad shoulders so I needed a taller pillow
I love the purple Harmony pillow. I bought the 6.5 inch pillow and have been pretty happy with it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Don't bother getting the harmony, it's soft and you need 2 of them to give you proper height for a side sleeper
How long did it take you to break it in?
@@Tiffani- For me, it didn’t need any break in time. I still use it to this day and it’s just as good as the first day i got it and i will never use any other pillow
What about the original with the boosters? Vs the harmony
my original didn't have boosters but I did prop it up with a pillow. That being said, I like the harmony the best!
Hey Jeff, just found your channel and subscribed. Keep it up man, I'm sure you'll be successful!
Quick question, I know you're planning on getting a new Purple mattress but I was wondering which version are you planning on getting? I'm torn. Between the 2 and 3 hybrid, what are your thoughts?
Thanks for the support!
I'm looking at the hybrid 2 or 3 as well - I'm leaning toward the 3...firm but not too firm.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Nice sharing
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.
Well their price went back up! I tried out mattresses with this pillow, wish I bought the pillow too but can not justify spending 179.00 tax included….😢
I do love the harmony pillow. I even take it with me when I travel.
You sleep on pillows for 1/3 of your life and quality of sleep can make a huge impact on your well being. $200 pillows are not all that ridiculous especially if you consider that a good pillow will easily last you a decade or longer.
I’ve still got my 12 year old tempurpedic pillow I keep as my roll over side pillow and at the time I bought it, I thought $80 for a pillow was insanity but not anymore.
Nice review! Have you looked into the purple mattress? I am thinking about getting one. It is hard to find a good pillow.... and mattress LOL 😂
I'm actually looking at getting one of the purple hybrid mattresses. Just a little too expensive right now. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@Jeffreviews4u I understand the cost, it is up there.. I look at it as a long term investment.... divided the cost up by 52 and then you get the cost per week... divide it by 2 again and that's two years of ownership. the (other) mattress we have now we have had for 2 years and it is just not making the cut.
The financing options from purple are not practical, I heard Mattress Firm had 0% interest for 3 years. That's more of a doable option. I will probably look into that.
How is it holding up now?
Still use it, and still love it. I just received the 7.5 version and am trying it out too. It's a little taller and longer - which I like. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u Which one do you like better?
Cool hair
I like to sleep on my stomach with my arm under my pillow without feeling like I'm laying on my arm
I know I’m a year late, but that plush pillow is utter garbage. That said this purple mattress is amazing and I’m waiting on my original purple pillow to get to me now. Hoping it works on this very aggressive side sleeper.
I'm not the biggest fan of the purple Plush Pillow either...I use the purple harmony on a daily basis. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I've been looking for a decent pillow for ages, every time I go to the store and look at "extra firm" pillows, they still compress down way too much and seem to provide no support. I'm tired of having to use my hand/arm behind the pillow to support my head.
Do you think this would be a good option? I don't want to have to spend that kind of money only to find out it still doesn't perform how I want.
I like the pillow, but a lot of it depends on personal preference. Sounds like you may prefer the 7.5 inch harmony pillow. If you buy it from the purple website you get a 100 night trial. Return it if it doesnt work for you. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I've never heard of any purple pillow. And I would never pay that kind of $$ for a pillow. Thanks for doing the reviews. :)
It is quite expensive- but it also has been very nice. Thanks for your support!
You spend 30% of your life sleeping. A small investment into a high quality pillow is worth the money.
@@xandro2445 Yup. I understand people have budgets and what not but I've seen a lot of people put down others for investing in sleeping materials. People don't spend much time in their cars but they spend a hell of a lot of money in those things!
it's 179 now
The purple harmony hurt my neck I'm a back sleeper
What size did you try? I wasn't a fan on the 7.5...I'm a daily user of the 6.5. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
The king is 186.00
Thanks for the update. Prices are going up.
@@Jeffreviews4u that is a sale price, normally it is 33.00 more
this video is kind of useless, after having it for 30 days and liking it better - what exactly makes it better? otherwise why have a 30 day video. are you sleeping better? faster? did you have neck strain before and not now? i would have liked to see a comparison between this one and the slab pillow. so far no video explains what a night or the morning after is like after sleeping on these things.
Most of it is subjective. I definitely sleep better and the pillow is very supportive. Hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u that's true, but compared to the purple slab there must be some results. like i know with the slab, i could never get it to be the right height and be comfortable. like i would add foam it would be higher, but the folds of the rubber would overlap and it would hurt my ear. and i tried at least a dozen variations. right now i have a 2" wedge in there of memory foam, which fill the neck in but i wouldn't call it all that supportive. and i'm hoping the new super pillow will help all of that. but all the reviews thus far are like - here is the pillow, look at the grid, look at the pillow, the pillow is bouncy, watch us lay on the pillow for 5 seconds, stare into camera, mention price, subscribe then on to the next video.
to try it out and not mention what is good or bad, that's the video i like to see. it took about a year and a half before the slab started to lose, i don't know the word, structure? and its soft in one spot, rotating it helped. and i'm wondering how this pillow is different than any normal latex pillow.
@@mikesavad a major pro in comparison to the original purple pillow is I no longer need to prop it up. I did a review of the original 10 months ago and my complaint was needing to put pillows under it to angle it properly. I no longer need to do that. I purchased the 6.5 inch and it is pretty good for me. If you need more support the 7.5 may be better.
it wouldn't surprise me if you were satan. like, on the super down low doing pillow reviews. i mean, there is a resemblance
Lol not me 😇 thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
