Purple Mattresses
Purple is one of the most genuinely novel mattress technologies launched in decades. Founded by the brothers who invented the No-Pressure® wheelchair cushion, Purple's GelFlex® Grid is a hyper-elastic polymer grid that holds the body up like a firm surface — preventing sagging — while simultaneously being flexible enough to allow pressure points to drop through the grid openings into weightlessness. The result is a mattress that is simultaneously firm and cushioning: it doesn't feel like foam or latex. Purple manufactures in Lehi, Utah, and its viral 'raw egg' demonstration (where an egg survives the mattress compressing) remains one of the most effective product demonstrations in the mattress industry's history.

Purple Lineup: Good / Better / Best
All Purple Mattresses (9)
Purple's signature GelFlex Grid mattress known for its unique pressure-relieving grid technology and temperature neutrality.
Purple's step-up from the Original, adding an extra polyfoam comfort layer beneath the GelFlex Grid for a slightly thicker feel while maintaining the grid's unique pressure relief.
Purple's entry-level hybrid, adding pocketed coils under the GelFlex Grid for bounce and better airflow — currently sold as Soft or Firm (no separate Medium SKU).
Purple Restore Plus Medium — 3" GelFlex Grid over a responsive foam base and pocketed coils. The versatile mid-tier in the Restore lineup that works for most sleep positions.
Purple's flagship hybrid with a 3" GelFlex Grid — the largest grid layer in the non-Premier Restore line — over a robust pocketed coil system for maximum pressure relief and cooling.
Purple Restore Premier Soft — thickest GelFlex Grid layer (4") in the Restore lineup over a premium responsive foam and coil base. Purple's ultimate pressure relief option.
Purple's flagship hybrid — a thicker GelFlex Grid layer over individually-wrapped coils for maximum pressure relief without sacrificing airflow or bounce.
Purple Hybrid Premier 4" — the thickest GelFlex Grid layer available in the entire Purple lineup. Maximum grid thickness for the deepest pressure relief Purple can offer.
Purple's ultra-premium hybrid with the deepest GelFlex Grid layer (4") over high-gauge coils. Built for sleepers who want maximum cooling and cloud-like feel.
Purple — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Purple GelFlex® Grid?
The GelFlex® Grid is a lattice of hyper-elastic polymer columns. At low pressure (like resting body areas), the grid stays rigid and supportive. At high pressure (pressure points like hips/shoulders), the grid walls buckle and the area drops through, eliminating pressure. No foam achieves this simultaneously firm-yet-cushioning behavior.
Does Purple sleep hot?
Purple's grid has a large open air channel structure that allows significant airflow — genuinely more breathable than memory foam. It's one of the few mattresses that sleeps cool without added cooling technology.
What is the difference between Purple and Purple RestorePlus?
The original Purple has a 2-inch grid on foam. The RestorePlus has a 3-inch grid on a pocketed coil base, adding more pressure relief depth and edge support for a more premium experience.
Is Purple good for side sleepers?
Yes — the grid's pressure-eliminating properties make Purple particularly effective for side sleepers with shoulder and hip pain. The RestorePlus is among the top-rated options for this sleeping position.
What trial does Purple offer?
Purple offers a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty (with extended options available).
