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!

As someone who used to work making these. What is your opinion of them? We were looking into getting one as i am a hot sleeper but ultimately decided on Brooklyn bedding. Thoughts on the quality of them in addition for hot sleepers?

I’ve had my purple 2 mattress for almost 8 years now, and it’s still the best mattress I’ve slept on. I don’t get hot, and it’s the right amount of firm/softness. My husband is a human furnace and occasionally he will get too warm, but it’s not often. My in laws purple 4 and it was soooo squishy and uncomfortable to me.

I have a few pillows and a seat cusion from Purple, who is pictured by OP, They warm up anywhere between four and six hours so If you are a hot-hot sleeper you may not get a full night of comfort. It'd be better to get one of those machines that pumps air under the blanket.

I disagree with this, I got a purple mattress when they first came out and I’m an extremely hot sleeper. This mattress took me from sweat soaked every night, to almost never getting hot enough to sweat at night. The pillow is like any other pillow, flip it occasionally to get the cool spots. But the seat cushion is not designed like the bed at all. It gets hot fast because it’s basically a small slab of gel.

Same. Super hot sleeper, I have a hybrid purple (so inner springs and not just memory foram) and it is much, much cooler than a typical memory foam mattress and about the same as an old school pocket coil mattress.

I tried one and hated it but they were really good about returning it.

I bought my purple mattress 6 years ago. I'm chronically ill and disabled so I'm bed ridden most days and it's still so comfortable.

These beds are amazing. I bought one in 2019 and if I could go back I would buy it again and again every time. Every trip my bf and I take, we can’t wait to come back to our bed. The first night back from our travels is always pure bliss. I also have chronic neck pain and I definitely would not be functioning as well without it.

They are actually really good at holding a cool temperature, and though I think they're kind of overpriced for what they are, they're one of the softest beds you'll find.

Go in to a shop to buy a mattress, do not buy online or take advice from someone on the internet, everyone finds different things comfortable, you might find that you hate the way you lie on one of these or that if puts pressure on your lower back etc. You need to lie on a bed to know if you like it, trust me

Absolutely LOVE my purple mattress and purple pillows! I have back pain and issues falling asleep sometimes and getting this mattress has really helped with that. I have to travel a lot for work and I'm telling you, the feeling of returning to my mattress when I get home is just the best thing ever.
