Actions

Beautyrest Black X-Class Medium Pillow Top

Strengths

  • Highest coil count and thickest BlackICE cooling in the Beautyrest lineup
  • 16" height — true luxury-tier mattress construction
  • Best pressure relief and cooling of any Beautyrest model

Considerations

  • Among the most premium options in this category — reflects premium materials and construction above mainstream mattress standards
  • Mattress Firm exclusive — no 365-night trial available

Purple Luxe

Strengths

  • 4" GelFlex Grid — most pressure-relieving Purple mattress ever made
  • Premium-grade coil system with reinforced edges
  • Virtually zero heat retention

Considerations

  • Top-tier model in the lineup — premium specifications and materials compared to sibling models
  • Plush feel not ideal for stomach sleepers needing firm support

Purple Restore Premier Soft

Strengths

  • 4" GelFlex Grid — the thickest grid layer across the Purple lineup for maximum pressure relief
  • Grid technology simultaneously supports and relieves — unique to Purple
  • Exceptional temperature regulation — open grid structure doesn't trap heat
  • Premium coil base adds edge support and motion isolation

Considerations

  • May not fit all budgets — reflects proprietary GelFlex Grid manufacturing — the polymer grid requires specialized tooling and processes that foam production does not
  • GelFlex Grid feel is distinctly different — some find it unusual at first
