Cocoon Chill & Purple at a glance

Cocoon is made by Sealy, a name most mattress stores trust. Cocoon makes two models but for this review we're focusing on the Cocoon Chill. The mattress focuses on the cooling down of your body while you sleep. What if sleeping hot isn't an issue for you? What if you need more support than the Chill can offer? Let's take a look at Cocoon Chill and their closest competitor to see which mattress brand reigns supreme.

Competitor #1: Cocoon Chill

Sleeping hot isn't an issue with the Chill. It uses a "Phase Change Material" to remove heat and leave the mattress cool. With two firmness options you can choose if you want to sink into the bed while you sleep, or if you would rather rest on top of the bed. Here are some more specifications:

Cocoon Chill

The 3 layers of foam vary in density to ensure you're supported how you need to be. The middle layer can be either extra firm, to not allow you to sink as much, or medium-soft, with a little more give but the same support.

• Starts at $600 for a Twin and goes up to $1150 for a California King]

Competitor #2: Purple

Purple mattresses have a unique layer inside of them. Their Grid allows you to sink-in but still supports your hips and shoulders for excellent pressure-relief. The open channels of the Grid allows air to pass more freely cooling you down during the night. Purple makes 3 mattresses, including:

The Purple Mattress

The original Purple mattress was designed to cradle your hips and shoulders. On top of cradling this mattress eliminate pressure points. The square grid allows air to pass through keeping you cooler at night.

• Starts at $649 for a Twin and goes up to $1,598 for a Split California King

The Purple Hybrid

• Starts at $1,399 for a Twin XL and goes up to $2,798 for a Split California King.

The Purple Hybrid Premier

• Starts at $1,999 for a Twin XL and goes up to $3,998 for a Split California King.

Side-By-Side Comparison

The Cocoon Chill and all the Purple mattresses have one thing in common, they keep you cool. They accomplish that in different ways but, never the less, they get it done. Both of these companies are also bed-in-a-box companies. You wont find Purple's signature grid, or Cocoon's cooling topper in any store. Even though they may be similar there are still many many differences between these mattresses.

The Cocoon Chill is a pure memory foam mattress that has two goals, keep you cool and keep you comfortable. The two firmness options allow you to pick how you like to sleep. The mattress is comfortable for all types of sleepers. However, if you need joint support or spinal alignment you're better off elsewhere.

The Purple Mattresses are all unique. By using their grid to keep air flowing and to cradle your joints, Purple mattresses are great for people with joint issues or those that sleep hot. The hybrid options and an extra layer of support and responsiveness. Side sleepers and back sleepers will love the support and cushioning of the beds. However, if you're a stomach sleeper Purple may not be the perfect bed for you.

How To Choose The Right Mattress

First off, if your current mattress is 7-10 years old and you're experiencing more body aches and pains, it's time to buy a new mattress. Getting a good night's sleep is essential in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Choosing the right mattress doesn't have to be a hassle, follow these guidelines to find the right one for you!

• Choose a mattress based on your individual needs. If you're looking for plushier support that adapts to your body's shape, a memory foam mattress is the best choice. If you want a more firm, traditional, feel an innerspring mattress is what you want. For the best of both worlds, get a hybrid mattress.

• Get proper lumbar support. The majority of your body weight is positioned in what is called the "center third" of the mattress. Find a mattress that has excellent lumbar support as it prevents and alleviates pain in the back and hips. If you're looking for extra support, Saatva's unique lumbar zone technology might be the best fit.

• Find a mattress with a long in-home trial. You want to be able to test your mattress over an extended period of time to really make sure this is the right one for you. Look for a company that offers a risk-free in-home sleep trial. Nectar offers a 365-day trial. IDLE Sleep offers a full 18-month trial (the longest in the industry).
