Find your best fit
Start with these listed features, advertised feel, and seller terms, then consider how they fit your preferences. The detailed comparison below covers shared features, differences, and questions to confirm before choosing either mattress.
Why it matters: The Original better fits back and stomach sleepers who want their midsection held higher. RestorePlus gives the shoulders and hips more room to settle, making it the clearer choice for side sleepers, lighter sleepers who struggle to engage a firmer surface, and shoppers who want a deeper cradle.
Why it matters: RestorePlus is a full comfort-and-support redesign rather than the same mattress with springs. It gives the body one more inch of Grid, a more breathable transition, and support that changes through the length of the bed. The Original's simpler foam core is an advantage when you want a flatter, quieter, less costly Purple feel.
Why it matters: The added inch lets the shoulder and hip travel farther into Purple's responsive columns before meeting the support layers. Side sleepers and people with more pronounced curves have the strongest reason to choose Plus. If two inches already relieves pressure without too much sink, the Original avoids paying for cushioning you do not need.

Buy RestorePlus when you can point to the upgrades you will use: deeper Grid cushioning for side sleeping, three-zone coil support, easier movement, better perimeter use, and a broader passive-cooling package. Buy the Purple Mattress when you prefer medium-firm support, share the bed with a motion-sensitive partner, or want Purple's signature Grid without a $2,000 hybrid premium. RestorePlus is the feature-rich pressure-relief choice; the Original is the firm-value choice.
RestorePlus changes every major layer beneath the cover. It increases the GelFlex Grid from two to three inches, replaces the Purple Mattress's all-foam base with breathable Ultra Comfort Foam and three-zone coils, adds a moisture-wicking finish, grows from 9.25 to 13 inches, and moves from medium-firm to medium-soft. The exact linked Queen prices are $1,599 at Amazon, rechecked September 23, and $3,599 from Purple. That $2,000 step makes sense for a shopper who specifically wants deeper side-sleeper cushioning, zoned hybrid support, easier movement, and more airflow. The Purple Mattress remains the persuasive choice for firmer support, less bounce, and much lower cost.
Why it matters
RestorePlus reinforces support by body region while coils make turning and getting out of bed easier. Its perimeter is also the stronger choice for couples using the full mattress width. The Purple Mattress absorbs more motion and has less spring-back, which many light sleepers sharing a bed will prefer.
Why it matters
RestorePlus gives warm sleepers more ways to move heat and moisture away from the body. The Original's Grid already creates open channels near the surface, so Plus should be treated as a stronger passive-airflow package rather than a promise that every sleeper will feel cold.
Why it matters
The extra 3.75 inches make RestorePlus feel more substantial and provide room for its deeper Grid and zoned coil core. The Original creates a lower bed and is easier to fit with standard-depth sheets.
Why it matters
The $2,000 exact-button difference buys one more inch of Grid, Ultra Comfort Foam, three-zone coils, moisture management, a taller profile, and a softer feel. That is meaningful for a shopper who will use those benefits. The Original remains the much stronger value when medium-firm all-foam support is preferable.
Why it matters
The buttons open different sellers. Amazon controls the Original offer's current return eligibility; Purple's direct trial and transportation charge apply to RestorePlus. The Amazon panel did not restate the prior 90-day wording when rechecked September 23, so use the policy attached to the seller shown at checkout.
Use the differences above to match the mattress to the way you sleep. Each model has a clear reason to buy. When one costs less, choose it if it already delivers the feel, support, and temperature control you want. Pay more when the added material or feature gives you a benefit you expect to notice every night.
Both mattresses can be a strong purchase. These are the clearest strengths you gain and the compromises you accept with each one.
