I bought the purple mattress when they were doing the "free pillow" promotion, so I got 2 pillows. The mattress doesn't really have a smell, but I really underestimated just how much the pillows STANK! Apparently, this isn't unique to the Purple Pillow, and a lot of other latex pillows have the same issue. Some forums suggested baking soda, so I poured baking soda on the pillow, and put it back in the pillowcase. The smell was completely gone within a day, and I didn't have to wait for it to soak and dry off. Hope that helps some people!

Sean Kirkland , I got a mattress and pillow. Zero smell from the pillow, the mattress has a plastic chem smell that is horrible and took weeks to go away.

Purple would be smart to send you a bed to review. We had a purple bed (original) but it was too firm and we decided to return it. Purple’s customer service was top-notch and we received a full refund.

I think the new .4 would be ideal for me because it's supposed to be better for side sleepers. I am on the fence, but I may pull the trigger on it. And yes, their customer service is very good.

Hello,Freakin' Reviews! Have you considered asking the company for a "free" Purple Mattress so you can give your review (good or bad...lol)?

4 years later, they definitely have the "smell" and powder under control. Got a new one this Christmas season and I really like it, coming from a Tempurpedic pillow, I find it very comfortable!

Love how the audience compare a person sleeping with their head and shoulders on the pillow to a psychopath 😂😂😂

I’ve been an “as seen on tv” fan since childhood and it’s so fun to see comprehensive reviews. Keep up the good work! Congrats on 100k!

Your dedication to your reviews is genuinely impressive; these followups are fantastic. You deserve every subscriber you get, and more!

Congrats on the subs. I think you should keep up the good work. You obviously enjoy this because your good at it. I especially like the fact that you try to do several tests instead of just “as advertised”.

Wooo! Congrats on 100k! Also thanks for getting obsessed with this pillow XD

Congrats on the growth of your channel James! You so deserve it and I hope you keep growing and eventually hit 1 million subscribers. I enjoy every video you post even if it’s not an item I’d ever buy. Thanks for your hard work!

Lol I actually found you yesterday when I was looking for an "egg pillow" actual test. I loved your video style, personality, and of course your dog haha. Congrats on all the popularity!

So happy for you James. I’ve told you from the beginning you deserve millions of subs. You definitely will get there. Just don’t forget us little subs.😀

My wife and I love your reviews. You seem to handle them very well. You're fair, honest and you really try to make things work. But the truth of the matter is we only subscribed because of Bailey. We absolutely love Bailey. You're just okay, but Bailey rocks!

Congrats!!! You do great reviews and put effort into them. Keep'em coming!!!

You're so charismatic my dude! I've been on the fence about this and the mattress. That price tag is hard to swallow, but I've had so many issues sleeping lately, and I think my mattress and pillows are the cause of that.

You are pretty funny and relatable in this video. I've been watching your videos for a while. I don't really buy the stuff but there's something about your videos that is so relaxing and interesting. You are a top notch reviewer and you definitely deserve recognition for the depth of analysis you give. You could go into reviewing just about anything (maybe a different channel?) and I believe the masses would come running. Great work James White with Freakin' Reviews.

Best product reviewer on KZread. You deserve more than just the 100k subs. You tell the honest truth about products and your videos are entertaining to watch even if I'm not even considering buying the product. Keep up the great work!

Im glad to see how far this channel has come

Wow! 100k subscribers! I remember discovering your channel at around 5k subs and binge-watching your reviews on my days off from work, they are so genuine and honest. Huge congratulations, you earned it :) I was considering getting a purple mattress, and I had no idea they now had 4 versions... for over $2,000 I may just go contemporary at this point.

I’ve been subscribed to ur channel since before u had less than 1,000 subscribers!! Glad to see ur still going strong.

Yes I'd be really happy to see you review the purple mattress because I'm planning on getting one but I'm not so sure yet so I trust you more than any other reviewer out there because your thorough and genuine. So thanks for all the great reviews keep up the amazing work!

Congrats on the 102k subs. Love your reviews. 👍

I know this is four years ago but here goes… Based off of your final comments about the inserts no longer being available I would not purchase the Purple Pillow. I am a side sleeper who had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders. This pillow with the slim design would also leave my neck at an odd angle. A low profile pillow scrunches my shoulders and they ache in the morning. I am glad I saw this follow up. Thanks for your honest and complete critique of all of the products you review.

So glad your channel has taken off. I've followed you since an adjustable belt review near the beginning. It's evident you put a lot of money, time, and hard work in your channel and you deserve the recognition!

congratulations on 100k🥂🎈 Love your videos!!

I just bought the original Purple mattress about 3 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. I'm still getting used to the firmer mattress, because I was used to a soft pillow top. It's different for sure. I never want to get up from bed. I got the Purple pillow as well, which came FREE with the mattress. I'm still 50/50 on the pillow. Before I watched your video, I tried a different pillow and put it beneath the purple pillow like you did. I didn't like it, so i switched it around with the Purple pillow underneath, and the second pillow above. That works great, without losing the integrity of the Purple pillow.

I subbed to you a while back cause its entertaining to watch reviews on stuff I probably will never buy but I see on tv and see if it works...

Thanks, best part of your channel is the follow-up reviews to see how they're doing... Congrats on the milestone!

Congrats on the subs. The Purple Pillow video was on my recommended list and that is how I found your channel and as soon as I saw it, I subscribed. Review videos like you make are not something I normally would watch and like, but yours are the exception. That pillow fight scene was hilarious! Great pillow for a fight that is for sure, The last hit looked painful though. I would like to see a purple mattress review if you could afford it as I didn't expect it to cost as much as it does.

Congratulations on 100,000+ subs. It’s well deserved.

I found your channel after watching this video, happy I did! Great reviews for things I have heard or been interested in. Keep up the good work!

also dont bother with the mattress, we got it and it was nothing but a headache. They do offer a 100 night guarantee so technically if you didn't want to keep it you could probably get it, review it, then return it. We had the original one btw

I just wanted to say your first review of the purple pillow is what made me buy it. I thank you for that cause I have been using my old pillows for many years now and it is freaky how well I knew where the soft spots, hard spots,tall spots, short spots were. I realized it was time to try something new I purchased the purple pillow a few weeks after your review and I gotta say I love it. It does stay very cool and I know I will never have to worry about fluffing or it starting to get contoured. I feel great also. The only thing I was pretty pissed about but doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would is it didn't come with any boosters like at all but I got over that I just wish it could be a little higher that would be my only complaint. But overall a really freaking good pillow. Thank you Freakin' Reviews for the assistance with that. Good job and Keep up the awesome reviews!!!!

Congrats on 100k! Thank You on your Great work & time

Great review man. Loved the pillow to the face. Iv had the original purple mattress for about 2 years now and love it. Ill probably get the pillow to.

My brother introduced me to the purple pillow. That night I bought one and haven't looked back. Mine did smell when I first opened it. I just put another pillow case on and went to bed. Most of the time I love this pillow. I do tend to sleep with my shoulders on the pillow when I'm on my back. It helps my back, granted I have a messed up back. I'd love to see a purple mattress video, I currently have a sleep number I enjoy. Great channel keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review video's! Answered a lot of questions.

SOOO happy for the success of your channel!! 🎉🎉🎉

On your way to one million. Great channel with good detailed content.

I have watched several of your reviews and a few others of the Purple mattress, I went to a store about 60mi away to lay on one just to see if I could like it. I am replacing a 15yo Sleep Number bed so can use that platform. I ordered the regular twin, original style. I also ordered the purple pillow, it came with a set of their sheets (choose sand) and the mattress protector. The mattress came first, only 70lbs so could handle it. I slid it out of the tube, like having that for storing the air bed pieces that fit. The pillow came a few days later with the protector and sheets. I really like the spandex sheets, ordered another set (color purple, of course). The pillow, as you mentioned, takes some serious getting used to. There was no discernible odor but just recently, when my purple Purple sheets arrived, I washed all of them, including the pillow case and pillow protector I had been using. I put the purple sheets on, plopped the pillow down on it upside down and, low and behold, white powder. It is there. I burped the pillow some and more came out. Didn't notice any odor and I was able to brush it off the sheet with a folded hand towel. I sleep with my hand under the pillow some but if you have on the protector and an pillow case, it just feels a bit rough, not itchy. Not only are Purple ads informative with humor, some of the other mattress reviews are funny, too. Thank you for professional review style.

That first purple video is how I found your channel. For some reason, youtube shoved that video into every suggested section I saw. I enjoy your reviews though. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on 100k. Best park of your reviews is that you follow up.

Thanks Matt. I think follow-ups are as important as the original review, especially to answer questions, clarify, or give new info!

Right on, man! Keep up the great and honest work!

Spot on review. I have been using mine for 9 months. It takes a while to get use to it but it is all worth 100 bucks to me. I was blowing 100's on different pillows trying to find one that didn't hurt my neck. I put on a regular pillow case over the one provided. I never had the smell problem and threw out the inflatable as soon as I seen it. I push the pillow about 1/3 the way off the back of the bed just so it's not under my shoulders. Some day I plan to cut 1/3 off of it just to make it fit better and lighter. I also stuffed foam in the holes up front of it to give a little more neck support.

I bought the purple pillow with the blow up bolsters, they leaked. I’m a side sleeper and need a 5 inch thick pillow to keep my neck and spine lined up, without any bolsters and the pillow being 3 inches, doesn’t work for me, I contacted purple, my response after more than one or two emails was, sorry and good luck. That left a bunch of us ( purple pillow customers) that need a thicker pillow high and dry, not very impressed with purple as a company. I’m now using shredded latex filled pillow that’s the right height and is comfortable. Your reviews are down to earth and very interesting, I’m a subscriber.

This is a Gel cell. I have had a gel seat cushion for 20 years. Although some what collapsed, I use it daily. The gel part out lasted the cover.

Oh and I think you can return the purple mattress if you end up not wanting to keep it. I know for sure I would never buy a mattress that cost that much but it would be interesting to see your thoughts.

Plot twist - 2.5 years later, the boosters are now included with every original Purple pillow purchase, and available for separate purchase as well. I guess they come and go on the boosters.

Congratz on the 100k subs :) I wouldnt do the purple matress, way to much money. Ever heard of the renovater paint roller pro? I would be rreally interested in review of that

Love my purple pillow. I like a little thicker pillow, so I put mine on top of a thin old pillow I have in the same pillow case and it works great.

2:14 i hear that sound everyday and it doesn't come from a pillow

Thanks for the update!

I really like your channel. Thanks for this great update!

Thanks for this update. I do sleep with my arm under my pillow regularly. Do you still feel the scratchy surface with the pillow case on? I also would probably stick a second pillow case on just for aesthetics. I also tend to nap with a good portion of the pillow under my body, do you think that would be a problem?

I'm a shoulders on pillow guy thanks for the support it means alot. "Im seeing a physiatrist"

Thanks you Christy! And that is one idea, but yeah what if I like it? hah.

Ordered the purple pillow this week, should be arriving tomorrow, quite excited.

Aww, the doggie was worried, so sweet!

I have one of these and it's helped my headaches since I've had it, I never took it out of the pillow case however and haven't washed the elastic pillowcase either I put it in other pillowcases which don't really affect it's elasticity IMO and keeps me from having to wash the actual purple pillow aspect. Instead of the inflatable extra they sent I just keep a very thin pillow like insulator under it to raise it maybe an inch or two. It's a little pricey, but like the video says it holds up and I don't expect to have an issue with it long outlasting regular pillows that have caused me some issues. Staying cool is pretty important to me and it's the only pillow I've tried that actually delivers in that aspect. I do happen to like flat pillows as a whole so I can put my arm under it and still be comfortable if I so choose however if you like a bulkier pillow you can raise it with the inflatable they ship with or put something under it even an old flat pillow and package them both in a standard pillow case so they stay together.

All those comparisons were dope. Like you said, all cool dudes.

I have two of the kick starter pillows and I love them since they don't get hot at all. I wouldn't mind trying the purple mattress but I just got a helix mattress so that is out

Congrats! !!!!, I want to try this pillow

Pillow fight cracked me up! W2G, luv the reviews.

Try the purple mattress. I have a bad back and was thinking about this mattress. It would be awesome if you did. Plz!!!!

I love my purple pillow now that I've adjusted to it other pillows feel to weird or get to hot or uncomfortable and since it's a thin pillow I added a thin pillow below it to make it more comfortable for me.

Here's my 5 year update: had a tear in the corner at year 1, customer service replaced without major hassle, 4 years with the replacement pillow and it's still just the same as new. I didn't have any smell issues on either pillow. I use 2 pillow cases. I sleep really hot so I have both purple pillow and mattress. I love the pillow, I like the mattress, my wife dislikes both. I fall asleep on side and wake up on back.

Dude I saw this on my post notifications and I went “Yes the PURPLE PILLOW” my dad goes “What?” I say ya it’s this guy Freakin Reviews he’s AWESOME

Congrats on 100K subs.............reviews are awesome been a sub since under 15k

First off, congratulations on the subscriber milestone. This review is both informative and excellently presented. I've been debating on whether to get this and now my choice has been made. On the funny side: You just got finished saying "I haven't had any neck pain or headaches.." And then you go and do a pillow fight. Back to square one! ;)

That pillow fight stuff had me cracking up good job

I don’t know what it is about this guy . The beard ? The baldness ? The purple pillow ? I’m subscribing 😂

I wondered about this pillow pillow but with no boosters I like thick pillow so I will stick to down pillow over a memory foam pillow. I have back problems the purple mattress I wondered about but like the pillow there is no place they have them on display to see and feel before I buy.

Congrats to your channel buddy! Been there since the beginning!

Just subscribed. Keep up the quality videos and see you at 200k

Do you prefer this pillow to all the other ones you have? Would you buy it again? i want to buy a pillow but i can't find one i like.

I have had mine a lot longer than 10 weeks. I love it. Ever pillow I had before had the problem of heat build up. I even tried the gel covers, one that you put water in to mix with the gel/foam like inside and then get all the air out, bamboo etc. The one that worked best, the water filled one, still build heat up though slower. This one does but even slower and just moving my head slightly on this enormous pillow takes care of the rare times. For a back sleeper I find the height good. For a side sleeper I am the arm under the pillow type. Both work well. This replaced the famous brand contoured neck pillow that helped my neck pain problems from poor pillows. That one was about as good as Purple but had serious heat issues for me. As to the initial smell, mine was faint and gone in about a day with no intervention. All in all, I am happy with it even at $99 and have to say it is the best of a large number of solutions I have tried. Next best was that famous brand (same price) of contoured memory foam pillow with a towel on top to assist with the heat problems.

Someone could very easily find where you live from those freeway signs in the background, should consider blurring stuff like that in the future.

I knew he lived in Vegas just from the noise and back ground 💀 this confirms it 💀

I just bought this pillow because of your review. Two days in and I love it so far!

I recently found your channel and I bought the Catch Candy because of your review. I may not comment a lot but I always give you a thumbs up

as soon as u said ouch bailey came flying over lol

would you consider cutting the pillow in 2 and test out if its still as good? that thing is way to big for me

More pillow fight videos! BTW Congrats on 100k

I would love to see a review for the purple matress. Love you videos and thank you for your reviews.

I actually ordered the pillow because of your original review. Should arrive in soon!
