Investigation Tests Purple Mattress to See If It Lives Up to Commercial Promise

The Purple Mattress is famous for the hilarious commercial featuring what's known as the “human egg drop” test, a stunt designed to show the mattress is so supportive and comfortable that eggs won't break when a body falls on top of them. Inside Edition’s Chief Investigative Correspondent Lisa Guerrero wanted to see if the human egg drop test really worked, so she tried it out herself. Supervising the test was Professor Ali Sadegh of New York's Grove School of Engineering, as well as stuntman Bob Cotter. Right away, Cotter realized there was an issue. #InsideEdition

“ don’t try the experiment at home.”

Man imagine if this level of reporting but instead of a mattress add they investigated senators, public demonstrations, and Congressional bills.

The commercial is not deceiving you can actually buy a extra layer

Inside Edition: We could break our backs from falling onto a mattress

[@rodneynasir8089]

I love how they felt like they debunked the video. She didn’t crack one egg, than when they hired a behemoth to fall off a latter than only one egg broke. If anything I’m getting a purple mattress

Plot twist: the eggs were paid actors.

The only funny part for me is the fact that when i clicked this video, I got a Purple matress add

“Your lucky I like you Lisa”

Former President Jimmy Carter was also on hand to give his professional opinion on the matress.

This actually showed how great the mattress is. They seemed out to make Purple mattress look bad from the beginning but ended up making people want to buy it lol

I choked when she said, “ the harness could not hold him”

[@dimpalmodi7858]

I literally got a purple ad before this video 😂

[@MegaDiannah]

I'm so glad they did this news report. I have no idea where my life would be without this riveting investigation!

[@dzl6848]

The only reason that a cracked on top is because he didn't go straight down he went on an angle

[@giraffecheese5169]

I’m still getting purple, a behemoth broke one egg, and not everyone is a giant behemoth.

[@micah2183]

Yeah we just hired a professional wrestler to put raw eggs on people.

I’ve had this mattress for 7 years and it is in phenomenal condition. I love purple mattress and I will sleep on one forever, even in my casket.
