Frequently asked questions
Every Purple mattress features GelFlex Grid technology — proven by SleepScore Labs to reduce sleep-interfering pain by 63%2. The additional components within each collection are designed to enhance the Grid's benefits even further.
The Essential Collection pairs 2" of GelFlex Grid with premium foam layers that deepen the Grid's pressure relief while supporting your body's natural alignment. The Grid supports broad body surfaces while cradling pressure points to relieve hip, shoulder, and back pain — something traditional foam mattresses can't do. Foam layers also provide motion isolation, so you and your partner move independently without disturbing each other's sleep. A stable, no-bounce feel makes Essential mattresses ideal for stomach and back sleepers, or anyone looking for meaningful pain relief beyond what foam alone can provide.
Restore Collection mattresses take the Essential experience further — responsive coils underneath the GelFlex Grid allow it to flex deeper, better cradling your pressure points for more precise pain relief at the shoulders, hips, and knees. The coils also dramatically increase airflow through the mattress, so you sleep up to 4x cooler than on a foam mattress. The result is a superior sleeping experience to the Essentials line: more responsive, more targeted pain relief, and cooler sleep. Restore is the ideal choice for combination sleepers, hot sleepers, or anyone ready to step up their pain relief.
Rejuvenate Collection mattresses are Purple's most immersive sleep experience — where luxury meets performance. Multiple layers of GelFlex Grid deliver our deepest, most powerful pain relief, while responsive coils allow the Grid to flex further into pressure points for full-body cradling. The DreamLayer™ top and cooling cover combine to create an immediately soothing, temperature-balanced surface that keeps you cool from the first night to the last. In a recent SleepScore study, 100% of Rejuvenate sleepers felt satisfied with their sleep. If you're seeking immersive comfort, powerful pain relief, and performance-driven luxury, Rejuvenate is the pinnacle of what Purple makes.
Made of 1400+ open-air columns that buckle under concentrated weight, the GelFlex Grid provides precise, cradling relief for common pains points such as hips and shoulders, while maintaining support across broad surfaces such as the back and legs. This engineering breakthrough reduces pain by up to 40%* and delivers proven deeper sleep.
*Reduced musculoskeletal pain by 40% in trial participants
Only Purple mattresses feature the proven pain reduction provided by our exclusive GelFlex Grid technology. By trading tradition for innovation, we unlocked new standards of pressure relief and support that traditional foam could not. With the GelFlex Grid, sleepers experience up to 40% less pain, less tossing and turning, and cooler, deeper sleep.
