Purple Mattress Differences

The difference between Purple mattresses lies primarily in the materials, feel, and construction, which means each model has different benefits. 

Every Purple mattress has been thoughtfully designed with careful attention paid to construction, materials, and the ultimate impact both have on every sleeper with a type of mattress unlike any other. This guide compares all Purple mattress models with the others by detailing how their different features and construction ultimately impact your rest.

*Note: Materials listed for each collection are not present in every model. For example, the CoolFlex™ Coils are only featured in the RestorePremier® Hybrid.

Essential Collection

Key Features: GelFlex Grid®, Edge Support Foam, Durable Base Foam

Every model of the Essential Collection is designed with a layer of revolutionary GelFlex Grid® supported by foam. The firm, supportive foam base is paired with the GelFlex Grid® layer to provide a flexible yet stable sleeping surface.

Here’s a guide to how each model in this collection differs from each other:

PurpleFlex™

Formerly known as the NewDay™ mattress, the PurpleFlex™ Mattress is the perfect entry into GelFlex Grid® sleep at a price you’ll love. In addition to breathability and instant adaptivity, it features Edge Support Foam that makes it easier to get in and out of bed, as well as durable Base Support Foam for extra stability that helps reduce motion transfer and promotes spinal alignment.

• Features: Stable base support, soothing pressure relief, and temperature balancing
• Feel: Firm
• Perfect for: Lightweight and average back sleepers

For its pressure relief and comfort, the PurpleFlex™ Mattress has earned the following award:

• Men’s Health: Best firm memory foam mattress

The Purple Mattress®

The Purple Mattress® gives sleepers the same perks as the PurpleFlex™ Mattress, but with the extra benefit of a Comfort Foam Layer to enhance pressure relief. This improves the mattress’ ability to conform to your body’s contours and reduce motion transfer.

• Features: Temperature balancing, additional pressure relief, and durable support
• Feel: Medium-firm
• Perfect for: Side and back sleepers

The original Purple Mattress® has earned several awards, including:

• Today: Best Innovative Mattress
• CNET: Best Mattress for Side Sleepers with Shoulder and Hip Pain
• Good Housekeeping: Best Cooling Mattress
• TechRadar: Best Cooling Mattress for Back Pain
• Shop Purple Mattress®

Purple Plus® Mattress

Purple Plus® mattresses have the same advantages as Purple Mattresses® but with two extra features: a dual layer of Base Support foam instead of a single layer and a breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer. 

The dual layer of Base Support Foam provides better support and stability for the mattress. The Ultra Comfort Layer, on the other hand, cushions your body’s pressure points while improving temperature regulation and reducing motion transfer.

• Features: Great motion isolation, extra support, and a breathable design
• Feel: Medium
• Perfect for: Combination sleepers and couples

The Purple Plus® mattress has earned the following recognition:

• Esquire: Best Mattress for Side Sleepers
• People: Best Medium Support Mattress

Restore® Hybrid Collection

Key features: GelFlex Grid®, Comfort Foam, Edge-to-Edge Coils

Unlike the Essential Collection, the Restore Collection mattresses are hybrid mattresses, combining the adaptive GelFlex Grid® with responsive coil cores and contouring comfort foam. This combination delivers dynamic support while allowing excess heat to dissipate for optimal sleep temperatures, featuring:

• Synergy of comfort with coil support
• Full-body cradling + responsive relief
• Provides optimal sleep temperature

Here’s how each Restore mattress differs from the others in terms of materials and construction:

Restore® Hybrid Mattress 

The Restore® Mattress has all of the benefits of the GelFlex Grid® combined with other advantages from its hybrid design. Its edge-to-edge coils improve mattress breathability and responsiveness, while its adaptive comfort foam conforms to your body’s contours and reduces motion transfer.

Restore mattresses have SoftFlex covers with an antimicrobial finish that helps your mattress and cover stay fresh longer.

• Features: Great pressure relief and responsive support that sleeps 2x* cooler than competitors
• Feel: Medium
• Perfect for: Side sleepers with back pain

RestorePlus® Hybrid Mattress 

A RestorePlus® Hybrid Mattress has the advantages of the Restore® Mattress but with additional features for pressure relief and improved cooling. 

Each RestorePlus® Hybrid Mattress is made with three inches of GelFlex Grid® combined with the support of a zoned coil system. This combination gives this hybrid mattress better pressure relief and temperature regulation. Its Edge Support System also helps the mattress retain its shape despite regular wear and tear, decreasing sagging and making it easier to get in and out of bed. 

As with the Restore® Mattress, the RestorePlus® Mattress also has a moisture-wicking finish that enhances the unparalleled temperature-balancing experience.

• Features: Targeted support, advanced pressure relief, and 3x* cooler sleep than major competitors
• Feel: Medium-soft
• Perfect for: Hot sleepers with back pain

RestorePremier® Hybrid Mattress 

Purple’s RestorePremier® Mattress has the benefits of the RestorePlus® plus edge-to-edge CoolFlex™ Coils topped with Ultra Comfort Foam. 

Both the CoolFlex™ Coils and comfort foam conform to your movements enhancing pressure relief while supporting your body. Because the foam isn’t in a single layer, the foam-topped coils promote heat dissipation through the GelFlex Grid®.

The RestorePremier® Mattress is Purple’s best cooling mattress, sleeping up to 4x cooler* than competitors, removing excess body heat so you can sleep more comfortably.

• Features: Temperature balancing for 4x* cooler sleep than competitors, pressure point relief, and pin-point dynamic support
• Feel: Medium
• Perfect for: Hot sleepers and side sleepers

Rejuvenate® Luxe Collection

Key Features: DreamLayer™ Technology, GelFlex Grid®, Responsive Coils, Smooth Top Luxury Cover

The Rejuvenate® Luxe Collection elevates the comfort and support provided by the Essential and Restore® Collections with luxurious sleep technology. With revolutionary DreamLayer™ Technology, the Rejuvenate® Collection features a decadent feel and temperature-balancing comfort.

Layers of GelFlex Grid® technology maximize the soothing pressure relief, dynamic support, and spinal alignment offered by all Purple mattresses. Designed for easy articulation, unmatched support, and indulgent comfort, the Rejuvenate® Collection pairs perfectly with adjustable bases or standard foundations to suit your preferences and bedroom aesthetic.

Here are the key differences between Rejuvenate® models:

Rejuvenate® Mattress 

The base Rejuvenate® mattress model is a luxurious blend of sleep technology, offering the perfect balance of comfort and support. Layered Grid technology combines the revolutionary GelFlex Grid® with MicroGrid and MicroAir™ Foam for soothing comfort that keeps you cool and supports your whole body.

With a quilted waterfall edge, the cool-to-the-touch cover of the Rejuvenate® adds a touch of sophistication to your bedroom. 

Stomach sleepers may prefer the firmer feel of the Rejuvenate®, but this luxury mattress can comfortably support most sleepers regardless of sleep position and body type.

• Features: Enhanced pressure relief, temperature balancing comfort, dynamic full-body support
• Feel: Firmer
• Perfect for: Stomach sleepers

RejuvenatePlus® Mattress 

Building upon the supportive foundation of the Rejuvenate® mattress, the RejuvenatePlus® offers melt-in, immersive comfort, and adaptive support that promotes spinal alignment. With a thicker GelFlex Grid® layer and foam that contours beneath your weight, the RejuvenatePlus® provides deeper pin-point pressure relief for enhanced comfort.

The medium feel may appeal to back sleepers in particular, but the RejuvenatePlus® supports comfort and spinal alignment regardless of sleep position.

• Features: Boosted pressure relief, soothing comfort, spine-aligning support
• Feel: Medium
• Perfect for: Back sleepers

RejuvenatePremier® Mattress 

Compared to the Rejuvenate® and RejuvenatePlus® mattresses, the RejuvenatePremier® increases comfort and dynamic support for truly restorative sleep.

The secret to the RejuvenatePremier® lies in its double layer of two-inch GelFlex Grid®. Each GelFlex Grid® independently adapts to your body, creating a new standard for full-body pressure relief and support.

With a softer feel than the other Rejuvenate® mattresses, side and combination sleepers may prefer the RejuvenatePremier® for its cushiony pressure relief, but the combination of GelFlex Grid® and responsive coils make this mattress a great option for most sleepers.

• Features: Full-body pressure relief, dynamic support and spinal alignment, blissful temperature balancing
• Feel: Softer
• Perfect for: Side and combination sleepers

RejuvenateUltimate™

The RejuvenateUltimate™ is the pinnacle of luxury comfort, with industry-leading pressure relief that will make you feel like you’re floating. Supportive foam elevates dual layers of GelFlex Grid® to maximize your comfort and sleep quality.

This indulgent mattress blends revolutionary sleep technology for unparalleled pressure relief, dynamic support, and a floating feeling unlike any other mattress. The RejuvenateUltimate™ is decadent, soothing, and luxurious — the perfect mattress for all sleepers regardless of sleep position.

• Features: Soothing temperature balancing, maximum pressure relief and full-body support, smooth cool-touch cover
• Feel: Floating
• Perfect for: All sleepers

Purple Hybrid Mattresses vs. Non-Hybrid: Key Differences

While all of Purple’s mattresses promote optimal airflow because of the GelFlex Grid® in every model, Purple’s Restore® Hybrid Collection mattresses have responsive edge-to-edge coil systems that enhance ventilation, improve heat dissipation and provide added comfort and support. These mattresses may offer cooling relief for hot sleepers as well as support and adaptive comfort.

Purple carries both hybrid and non-hybrid mattresses. Purple’s hybrid mattresses are all the mattresses in the Restore® Hybrid and Rejuvenate® Luxe Collections, namely: the Restore® Hybrid Mattress, the RestorePlus®, the RestorePremier®, the Rejuvenate®, the RejuvenatePlus®, the RejuvenatePremier®, and the RejuvenateUltimate™.

Purple’s non-hybrid mattresses make use of extra foam layers to either add support at the base or cushioning on top. 

The mattresses in Purple’s Essential Collection are non-hybrid mattresses. These are the PurpleFlex™ Mattress, the Purple Mattress®, and the Purple Plus® Mattress.

How Much is a Purple Mattress?

Purple mattresses range in cost from budget-friendly options to luxury investments. Prices vary depending on the size, features, and type of mattress you want. In 2025, Purple mattresses will cost between $699 for a twin PurpleFlex™ and $14,998 for a split king RejuvenateUltimate®.

Which Purple Mattress is Best?

Choosing the best Purple mattress means carefully evaluating your needs and preferences before selecting. The new Purple RejuvenateUltimate® mattress offers elevated, luxurious comfort, but no matter what Purple mattress you choose, you’ll benefit from the unmatched pressure relief, temperature balancing, and full-body support of the GelFlex Grid®.
