Purple vs Nectar
Nectar sells memory foam mattresses that just can’t deliver the pressure reduction that Tempur-Pedic’s material or Purple’s GelFlex™ Grid does. And it traps heat, so you can sleep hot unless you add cooling treatments.
Every Purple mattress features the GelFlex® Grid that delivers the instant response and pressure reduction that generic memory foam can’t.
The GelFlex Grid is the best innovation in mattress technology in 30 years, surpassing foam and memory foam
Memory foam was a good sleep solution in its time, but doesn’t measure up to Purple’s newer technology
The GelFlex Grid’s design responds instantly to your body shape and movement, supporting you in any position
Memory foam interacts with your body weight, so you sink in slowly and can take a while to adapt to your body
The GelFlex Grid instantly adapts to your body, perfectly cradling pressure points for remarkably undisturbed sleep
The layer of memory foam doesn’t offer the remarkable level of pressure reduction that the GelFlex Grid delivers
The GelFlex Grid fully supports your body, compressing under heavier areas and gently supporting lighter areas
Memory foam can’t deliver the all-over support that the GelFlex Grid does
The GelFlex Grid makes it easy to change positions without disturbing your (or your partner’s) sleep
Memory foam makes it hard to move around once your body has sunk in
The GelFlex Grid naturally draws heat away from your body, so it doesn’t sleep hot, without any added cooling
Memory foam traps heat, so you can sleep hot unless you buy a model with cooling material added
