Today Purple mattress launched their newest product – face masks. Amid the COVID 19 pandemic, we’re seeing more mattress companies produce this needed protection. They have the production facilities and are experts in fabrics and manufacturing, ensuring a quality design that will hold up to many wearings.

Ear Straps Made with Hyper Elastic Polymer

Here’s the part that we think is genius – the straps aren’t made of elastic. They’re made of 100% Purple Hyper-Elastic Polymer! That stretchy stuff that is the top 2+ inches of every Purple mattress is part of the face mask design. Who knows but it could be made from mattress scraps.

And knowing that it’s not going to shrink when you wash it and be very durable, gives me peace of mind. I’ve had scabs behind my ears where elastic has rubbed off skin. When sewing your own mask it’s the hardest part to fit.

Purple Face Masks Made to Follow CDC Guidelines

While not medical grade, the masks do follow CDC guidelines, which include:

– fits snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
– be secured with ties or ear loops
– include multiple layers of fabric
– allow for breathing without restriction
– be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape

With Costco, some airlines, states and stores now requiring face masks, they’re in much higher demand. While some in the USA are resistant to wearing face masks, they can make a big difference.

The number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in Austria dropped from 90 to 10 cases per one million people, two weeks after the government required everyone to wear a face mask on April 6. Source

Purple Face Masks in Kid, Adult and Large/Extra Large Sizes

The design is white with Purple trim and are gender-neutral. We also like that they come in 3 sizes to fit the whole family. It seems harder to find kid’s size masks and masks for men. Even finding fabric and elastic can be difficult if you want to sew your own mask. You also need several if you will be in public very often.

Here’s a picture of the large/extra large mask:
