Age, Early Bio, and Education

Mallory Ruthanne Everton was born on 20 September 1989 in Portland, Oregon, to her parents Bob and Colleen Wright Everton. She grew up with her five older siblings — three brothers, Travis, Zach, and Beau, and two sisters, Melissa and Hailey. She occasionally shares her family portraits on her Instagram posts. 

Upon graduating from high school, Everton moved to Provo, Utah, to attend Brigham Young University. She initially wanted to pursue a medical degree, and she enrolled in the university as a pre-med. However, she ultimately switched her major to the film program and graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in Media Arts in 2012.

Purple Mattress Commercial

Everton was a part of the mattress company Purple's social media video campaign called Purple Mattress Commercial in 2016. As a Purple mattress actress, she appears in one of the Purple Mattress Commercials as a bed expert Goldilocks, demonstrating an experiment called "The Human Egg Drop Test."

She shows how traditional mattresses are awful as she drops 330 lbs of tempered glass on hard, soft, and medium mattresses with raw eggs on them. The eggs break in all three kinds of mattresses. She then shows how Purple Mattress is so supportive and comfortable as the eggs remain unbroken while doing the same experiment. 

Purple Mattress Commercial was launched in early 2016. The mattress company claimed in 2017 that the Purple Mattress Commercials helped drive $75 million in online sales in 2016. 

Purple's weird and hilarious videos quickly went viral on social media. They had amassed over 500 million views by July 2017. The commercial Everton played also had 53 million views at the time. As of February 2022, her video has accumulated over 189 million views. 

'Stop and Go'

Stop and Go is the 2021 comedy film co-written by Everton and Whitney Call and co-directed by Everton and Stephen Meek. Stop and Go was initially screened at the SXSW Film Festival in March 2021. It later premiered in theaters on 1 October 2021.

Stop and Go is set in the early days of COVID-19, and it follows the story of two directionless sisters, Jamie (Call) and Blake (Everton). The sisters embark on a road trip from Albuquerque to Washington state to rescue their grandmother Nana (played by Anne Sward Hansen) from a COVID outbreak at her nursing home.

Everton and Call told The Salt Lake Tribune in September 2021 that they began brainstorming for Stop and Go after the coronavirus pandemic shut the world down while thinking about the humor they could find out of an unfortunate and universal situation. 

Matt Meese and Mallory Everton

Everton hasn't disclosed anything about her love life publicly. Thus whether she has a boyfriend or husband is yet to be known.

As both Matt Meese and Mallory Everton co-starred on Studio C and also went on to establish the JK! Studios, they were speculated to be dating. However, they have not officially confirmed or denied their relationship. 

Nevertheless, on opening the JK! Studios, Everton said, "It was a group, collaborative effort. Once we started talking about doing new stuff, we just knew we were stronger together than we were apart." 

On the other hand, Meese added, "I think there’s room for all kinds of voices in the family-friendly comedy space because it’s a very underserved audience. We want to help fix that and add to that conversation, add to the amount of content that’s available for families to watch."
