Frequently asked questions
Neither one wins outright — the right answer depends on how you sleep and what your body needs. Lighter side sleepers usually want a softer feel that cradles the hips and shoulders. Heavier stomach sleepers usually want firmer support that keeps the spine aligned, so you wake up loose instead of stiff.
If your lower back hurts in the morning, a medium-firm to firm mattress is usually the better starting point — it stops your hips from sinking and pulling your lower spine out of line. Look for a feel that cradles your hips and holds your spine straight at the same time. Purple's GelFlex Grid relieves pressure where your body needs it most while supporting your spine, so you sleep with less pain.
Firmness is how the surface feels when you lie down — soft, medium, or firm. Support is what happens underneath: whether the mattress keeps your spine aligned all night. They're not the same thing, which is why a soft mattress can be just as supportive as a firm one — Purple's GelFlex Grid adapts instantly as you move, so the feel you like and the support you need come in the same bed.
Purple rates mattress firmness on a 5-point scale — firm, medium firm, medium, medium soft, and soft — instead of a generic 1–10 number, because how a mattress feels under your body matters more than a label. Match your feel to how you sleep, and Purple's GelFlex Grid adapts to support you at every point on that scale.
If you wake up with numbness, tingling, or pressure points, your mattress is likely too firm; if you wake up sore or feel like you're sinking in, it's probably too soft. The right firmness keeps your spine aligned all night, so you stay asleep instead of shifting positions to escape discomfort.
Give yourself time to know for sure — every Purple mattress comes with a 100-night trial, so you can test your fit risk-free before committing.
Side sleepers do best on soft to medium firm for pressure relief at the shoulders and hips; back sleepers do best on medium to medium firm to support the spine's natural curve; stomach sleepers need firm to keep the hips from sinking; and combination sleepers do best on medium firm since it adapts as they move. Purple's GelFlex Grid adjusts to support you at every point on that scale, whichever position you sleep in.
