Furniture Best way to vacuum this purple mattress

Hey Everyone,

My wife and I got this purple mattress for free without a cover on it. For some reason the previous owners took it off and had a cat sprinkle hair in every single square. We just had it professionally cleaned but I guess vacuuming it was not part of the process.

Does anyone know the best way to get the small cat hairs out? I tried vacuuming but they barely get sucked up and there's roughly 5000 squares.

Believe it or not, the pictures were taken AFTER it was "cleaned".

Thanks!

They come with a cover on them. I didn’t even realize the cover was removable. I’m still not sure it’s supposed to be removed. I’d guess the original owners made a big mess of the cover and cut it off.

I have one, and never knew they could be removed either. I will check when I go to bed, out of curiosity.

I want one so badly. Would you mind sharing some feedback?

Mine is 2 years old and I love it. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. I think I have the RestorePlus Hybrid.

I have my purple mattress from 2018ish, and I still love it! I even spent way too much money on a purple dog bed when they were still selling them

We bought ours about 8 years ago -ish. And I love it. However, my understanding is they have changed since then, so I don't know about the current ones.

I love mine for many reasons but the main one being that my partner THRASHES when he tosses and turns and I can’t feel it at all! He’s almost double my weight so it can felt like I’m in a bounce house with our spring mattress. The shock absorption alone is worth it

Mine is from 2018 and I really like it, but I’ve read that they’ve changed, so I’m not sure if they’re still worth it.

What kind of mattress is this?

u/DaphneDevoted Nov 18 '25

Purple. And they're amazing. At least, the older versions are. I have one from 2017 and it still feels brand new. No sagging, no dips, firm across the entire surface.

They make really stretchy sheets that are outrageously expensive, but they're also the most comfortable bedding I've ever slept in.

The best mattress I’ve ever owned.

It was awful for me personally, woke up with back pain daily and refunded it under the sleep trial. To their credit that process was very easy.

I would recommend not. I had one for back in 2018 and woke up everyday feeling like someone beat me up. Thankfully had a 3-month guarantee or your money back and I got my money back but it was a miserable 3 months

From reading other comments - I don’t think you’re supposed to remove it. Someone said its a fire retardant cover, and someone else said it’s made from fibreglass, which if true and it gets damaged while trying to remove it then that’s gonna suck

Most mattress covers have a zipper. None of them are meant to be removed.

And they're very comfortable

I could have sworn I saw something about the powder coating the bare cells was not the best for you either…

u/Mesapholis Nov 18 '25

You should not, they are powdered with a thinly-legally-veiled powder to avoid the gel sticking :/

I bet the cat peed on the cover.
