The Purple Mattress®

Because we believe that sleep is integral to a life well-lived, every Purple mattress is made with the highest quality materials. Every component is chosen with the utmost care and engineered for long-lasting durability, comfort and support.

In short, everything — starting with the Purple GelFlex Grid. This proprietary technology is totally unique in the mattress market, and sets our beds apart from memory foam, springs, and adjustable air mattresses. Backed by over 20 years of rigorous testing, the iconic purple geometric grid made of hyper-elastic polymer provides cushioning comfort and pressure relief while simultaneously maintaining support. It instantly adapts as you move, reconfiguring itself to relieve pressure provide alignment where your body needs it most.  

Based on our years of testing, here’s what we’ve found: memory foam fails to provide the necessary support needed throughout the night and also sleeps hot. Spring mattresses don’t relieve pressure and cause a great deal of motion transfer, not to mention the squeaking. Adjustable air mattresses force your hand (and neck, back, and shoulders) with “hard bed problems” or “soft bed problems” — an impossible decision to say the least. By contrast, the GelFlex Grid cradles your shape for that cloud-like feel while delivering the support that equals ache-free, restorative sleep. 

PurpleFlex Mattress: The intro to life-changing Purple sleep — 2” GelFlex Grid atop a layer of supportive foam for a firmer feel.   

The Purple Mattress: The original, in a class of its own since day 1 — 2” GelFlex Grid with an additional layer of comfort foam atop a layer of supportive foam for medium-firm support.  

Purple Plus Mattress: Double your support, improve temperature balance and boost comfort — 2” GelFlex Grid paired with breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer atop 2 layers of base support foam for a medium feel.   

Thanks to the Purple GelFlex Grid, all three mattresses of the Essential Collection provide the no-pressure support and comfort essential to restful sleep. But which mattress option is right for you? It all comes down to your sleep preferences and preferred feel. The more comfort layers beneath the Purple Grid, the more cushioning and weightless, floating feel — all complimented by superior alignment and back support.  

Both the Essential Collection and the Restore Hybrid Collection mattresses contain our proprietary GelFlex Grid that provides the unique support your body needs with the cushioned comfort you want. 

Essential Collection mattresses pair the GelFlex Grid with a comfort foam core for a less bouncy feel.  

Restore Hybrid Collection mattresses pair the GelFlex Grid with a core of individually wrapped coils that enhance the responsive feeling and increase air flow.  

Not all foundations, frames and bases are created equal which is why we’ve designed a collection of products that work synergistically with Purple mattresses, to provide you with your best sleep for years to come.  

Purple Metal Platform: The perfect platform base for every bedroom — incredibly strong, durable + low-profile.

Purple Upholstered Bed Frame: An upholstered, platform-style foundation and headboard that enhances the comfort and support of your Purple mattress.

Adjustable Bases: The Premium Smart Base and Premium Plus Smart Base let you fully customize your position whether you’re sleeping, sitting, working or relaxing with adjustable head and foot sections for premium comfort.

While you won’t feel like you’re sleeping on a grid of squares, Purple mattresses may feel a little different than what you’re accustomed to — at least at first. Just as a chiropractor works to restore healthy body posture and alignment, the GelFlex is designed to do the same. We highly recommend sleeping at least 21 nights on your Purple mattress in order to adjust and experience healthy, restorative sleep for body and mind. 

Allowing your body to adjust from a standard mattress to the unique support of a Purple mattress is a necessary step in your journey to restorative, life-changing sleep. For this reason, we offer a 100-night trial that begins the day your mattress is delivered to your doorstep. Should you decide it isn’t the perfect fit within the first 100 nights, we’ll have the mattress picked up and issue a refund.  

We highly recommend spending at least 21 nights on your Purple mattress before initiating a return or exchange so your body has enough time to adjust.
