Purple vs Tempur-Pedic
Tempur-Pedic’s proprietary material responds to the heat of your body, for pressure reduction that generic memory foam can’t match. People love it – but not everyone likes the feeling of sinking in, and you can feel trapped. Plus, it traps heat, so you can sleep hot unless you add cooling treatments.
Every Purple mattress features the GelFlex® Grid that delivers the pressure reduction that Tempur-Pedic’s proprietary material does, but without the tradeoffs.
The GelFlex Grid is the best innovation in mattress technology in 30 years, surpassing foam and memory foam
Heat-activated memory foam was a breakthrough in its time, but has been surpassed by Purple’s GelFlex Grid technology
The GelFlex Grid’s design responds instantly to your body shape and movement, supporting you in any position
Heat-activated memory foam interacts with your body heat, so you sink in slowly as the foam heats 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
Heat-activated memory foam compresses under the heaviest parts of your body, cradling pressure points
The GelFlex Grid fully supports your body, compressing under heavier areas and gently supporting lighter areas
Heat-activated memory foam supports you once you sink in
The GelFlex Grid makes it easy to change positions without disturbing your (or your partner’s) sleep
Heat-activated memory foam makes it difficult 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
Heat-activated memory foam traps heat, so you can sleep hot unless you buy a model with cooling material added
