You won't want to use a box spring. The springs of a box spring can break down over time and cause the mattress to sag. Purple mattresses need a flat, sturdy surface to rest on. This can be a platform, slats (3" apart or less), box foundation (as opposed to a box spring), an adjustable bed frame, or even the floor – it all works just fine. We recommend one of our bases like the Purple Platform Bed Frame.

In short, the Purple GelFlex™ Grid. Specially engineered for perfectly balanced comfort and support, Purple’s patented GelFlex technology has been used and tested rigorously within medical and consumer applications for over 20 years. In that time, Purple engineers have researched the different mattress materials to know what pairs best with our life-changing technology.

Here’s what we've found: Memory foam doesn't consistently give you the support you need throughout the night and generally sleeps hot. Latex foam tends to break down quickly, leaving you in a pit of high-priced despair. Traditional spring mattresses don’t relieve pressure and cause a great deal of motion transfer, not to mention the squeaking. Adjustable air mattresses make you choose between hard bed problems and soft bed problems, leaving you with a sore back or stiff joints. By contrast, the ultra-durable Purple GelFlex Grid cradles your hips and shoulders while giving you the support your body needs and the comfort you crave.

It's important to note that it can take some time for your body to completely adjust to your new Purple Mattress. We highly recommend you sleep on it for a few weeks to give your body a chance to adjust. If you’re still unsatisfied after 21 nights, you can return it for a full refund.

Helpful hint: Our SoftStretch™ Sheets and Mattress Protector let you feel the full comfort of your Purple Mattress.

We spend about 30% of our life in bed – that’s a lot! Life’s too short to be sleeping on a worn-out mattress that feels uncomfortable and perhaps even causes back pain. Don’t toss and turn all night searching for just the right position. Purple can help you get a good night’s sleep so you wake up each day feeling invigorated and refreshed. For a luxurious, restful sleep, you need a high-quality and supportive mattress from a brand you can trust. If you’re like most people, you have lots of questions about buying a new mattress. The mattress industry has changed quite a bit in the past few years, and it’s easy to be confused by all the different options. Here are a few guiding questions to consider before purchasing a new mattress:

• What’s the most comfortable mattress?
• What type of mattress is best for you?
• Where is the best place to buy a mattress?
• What size of mattress do you need?
• Do you need a new bed foundation?
• How can mattress reviews help?
• How to get rid of an old mattress?
• What’s the most comfortable mattress?

The patented Purple GelFlex™ Grid technology is used in all Purple mattresses. GelFlex instantly adapts to your body to cradle your hips and shoulders while also balancing comfort and support, and it prevents sleeping hot. That being said, comfort is subjective from person to person, so the best way to determine is to try one yourself.
