Purple vs Sleep Number
Real numbers. Real comfort.
We pay to test Purple against other mattresses — not just other Purples. The results are plain as day. Purple’s GelFlex Grid offers more comfort, support and unique-to-you comfort for your dollar.
100-Night Trial
Your 100-night trial begins the day your mattress is delivered to your doorstep. If you decide it isn't a perfect fit for you within the first 100 nights, we'll have it picked up and issue a refund. (Awesome, right?)
10-Year Warranty
If there's something wrong with your mattress, we'll replace it for up to 10 years, starting from the date of original purchase.

No-fuss comfort, no sticker shock
The GelFlex Grid is soft where you want and supportive where you need — no need to fuss around with settings that make you sacrifice one for the other.
Unlike Sleep Number’s glorified air mattress, the GelFlex Grid adapts to your specific body shape + weight — customized feel, without the prone-to-break tech.
Sleep Number will try to sell you on cooling toppers. With Purple, there’s no need because the GelFlex Grid is naturally breathable for ideal sleep temperatures all night long.
I have owned 4 Sleep Number beds... The Purple mattress is the best sleep I have had in 30 years. I no longer get up so stiff I have to lay in hot water to move. Wish I had this years ago.
