Purple Harmony Pillow Review

Purple Harmony Pillow Review Breakdown

The Purple Harmony Pillow is an excellent fit for sleepers who want a high-performance pillow made with durable materials. These materials maintain their shape while also contouring to the head and neck to provide pressure relief.

Made with Talalay latex that is both soft and bouncy, the dependable latex core gives this pillow its overall structure. Surrounding the latex is the proprietary Purple Grid material that is designed to comfortably cradle the head and neck, making sure each area gets the support it needs.

Latex and the Purple Grid are excellent at resisting heat retention because of their ability to permit considerable airflow for ventilation. The breathable mesh cover helps wick moisture from your head to better preserve a well-regulated temperature throughout the night.

Customers can choose between two height options, allowing sleepers in most positions, and especially side and back sleepers, to find the right level of loft to meet their needs.

The following sections cover the in-depth details of the Purple Harmony Pillow while also offering basic information about Purple’s other pillows to help you compare and contrast.

Materials and Options

A first step in evaluating a pillow is reviewing how it’s constructed, including its cover, fill, loft, and overall size.

The Purple Harmony Pillow has two versions. The Standard model is 6.5 inches tall, and the Tall model is 7.5 inches tall. Both have the same length and width dimensions, 26” x 17”, which are comparable, although slightly smaller, than most standard pillows (26” x 20”).

The construction and loft of the Purple Harmony Pillow offers a clear contrast relative to Purple’s other pillow offerings.

Pricing Information

Multiple factors go into the price of a pillow. The type and quality of materials, its size, as well as its design and features can all influence its cost.

Most pillows fall in a wide price range between $20 and $200. The Purple Harmony Pillow is a luxury model, which is reflected in its price. The flagship Purple Pillow costs slightly less, and the more economical Purple Plush Pillow, which does not include any of the hyper-elastic polymer Purple Grid, is the most affordable option.

Pillow Performance Ratings

The most important thing to consider in a new pillow is its performance. After all, you’re counting on your pillow to keep you comfortable and supported so that you can wake up well-rested and pain-free.

The Purple Harmony Pillow demonstrates strong performance in most categories. Its robust interior materials ensure excellent shape retention, making the loft level reliable and eliminating the need to frequently fluff the pillow.

These materials also deliver a compelling blend of cushioning and resilience, cradling your head and neck lightly to relieve pressure without sagging, sinking, or feeling stuck.

Both the latex and the Purple Grid are constructed with open spaces in the material. Air can move freely in these spaces, inviting cooling airflow for excellent temperature regulation. The blend of fibers in the cover contributes additional breathability along with a stretchy and soft feel.

Talalay latex is well-regarded for its durability, and as the core of the Purple Harmony Pillow, facilitates an above-average ranking for durability. The Purple Grid, built to withstand heavy pressure in mattresses, also holds up well over time.

Though the Purple Harmony Pillow doesn’t score as highly in moldability, firmness options, or odor potential, its strong performance in other categories makes it a worthy consideration for people looking for an all-around solid pillow constructed with high-quality materials.

Sleeping Style and Body Weight

Sleeping position and body weight are two important considerations when looking for your perfect pillow. A pillow needs to suit the needs of your body, so reviewing how you sleep can help evaluate any pillow, including the Purple Harmony Pillow, and determine if it is right for you.

Side Sleepers

People who sleep on their side need a pillow with a height that is roughly equal to the distance between their shoulder and head. A pillow that is too short will cause the neck to bend too far downward; one that is too tall will push the neck too far upward. The necessary amount of pillow loft can change based on how firm the mattress is, how much a person weighs, and how much their shoulder sinks into the bed. The Purple Harmony Pillow is a solid fit for side sleepers because of its durable height and the Purple Grid’s ability to cradle and support the head and neck. Most side sleepers do best with the Standard, 6.5-inch model, but people with a bigger frame or wider shoulders should opt for the Tall, 7.5-inch model.

Back Sleepers

When lying on your back, it’s important that your head not tilt too far up or down, which can overstretch and strain the neck. For this reason, back sleepers usually prefer a medium-loft pillow that has enough firmness to resist sagging yet enough contouring to relieve pressure and tailor to fit their head and neck. The Purple Harmony Pillow checks all of these boxes, making it a quality option for most back sleepers. The latex core creates a stable base while the Purple Grid offers just the right amount of cradling to keep the neck comfortable and well-supported. In general, back sleepers should opt for the Standard, 6.5-inch model because the Tall model has too much loft for most back sleepers.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleeping is the least common position, and it also brings certain risks for spinal alignment. Tall pillows can create an acute neck angle by forcing the head to bend far backward. This can be exacerbated if someone also turns their head to the side, which can add twisting to this excessive bend. Avoiding this problem typically means using a pillow with much lower loft and slightly less firmness than side or back sleepers. This allows the head to settle into a position that creates a more neutral angle for the neck and spine. Both versions of the Purple Harmony Pillow are too tall and firm for most stomach sleepers. They tend to perform worse for stomach sleepers over 130 pounds who sink further into the mattress as the greater distance between their upper torso and head can sharpen their neck angle on a tall pillow.
