Purple Mattress Review

How It Sleeps

Purple’s instantly adaptive, temperature-balancing GelFlex Grid ensures sleepers get an exceptionally comfortable, supportive and cool sleep surface, night after night.

Ordering Information

You can purchase a Purple Mattress through the brand’s website or in one of their countless showrooms across the U.S. Many online and brick and mortar mattress retailers also sell these mattresses, but the best way to ensure you can take advantage of the brand’s many promotions, plus their generous sleep trial and warranty, is to make your purchase directly through Purple.

Materials & Design

The Purple Mattress is made in the U.S. from American-made materials. The materials are non-toxic, hypoallergenic and all of the foams are Certified Clean Air GOLD and CertiPUR-US® certified.

The brand offers a variety of mattress models, including all-foam and hybrid options. Here’s a look at what comprises the original Purple Mattress:

SoftFlex Cover: Featuring a soft and comfortable combination of polyester and spandex, the SoftFlex Cover is a light and airy top layer that works with the GelFlex Grid to instantly respond to your body and movements.

GelFlex Grid: Purple’s signature technology, this is a two-inch, grid-like layer made of a stretchy and durable hyper-elastic polymer that is designed to continually reconfigure itself in order to provide the best balance of comfort and support as you change position throughout the night. The Grid includes a repetitive geometric structure with hundreds of open columns that work together to support broader surfaces like your back while gently cradling pressure points like your shoulders and hips. The Grid is also meticulously designed to promote airflow and cooling. Everything in the GelFlex is recyclable, non-toxic and hypoallergenic, and the material is so safe and durable, it’s been used in specialty medical products like long-term hospital beds and wheelchair cushions for more than 20 years.

Edge Support Foam: This is an extra durable foam that provides reinforcement to the mattress, making it easy to get out of the bed and preventing sagging.

Comfort Foam: Made of 3.5 inches of polyurethane foam, this is the part of the mattress that gives it its unprecedented cloud-like cushion.

Base Support Foam: Comprised of four inches of polyurethane foam, this layer provides stability for the comfort layers above it.

Sizes & Pricing

Purple Mattresses are available in seven different sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, California King and Split King. At the time of this review, base prices for the original Purple Mattress begin at $799 for a twin and $1,299 for a Queen, which is a great value for such a high quality mattress.

Purple frequently offers promotions and discounts on its mattresses, so keep an eye out for the best deals.
