GelFlex Grid
Our proprietary technology delivers life-changing sleep for all bodies and sleep positions. Its unparalleled comfort, cooling and support are the reasons you’ll love your answer every time someone asks, “how’d you sleep?”
We didn’t break the mold.
We created a brand-new one.
Our injection-molded GelFlex Grid is so effective, it’s been used in hospital beds for burn victims and other critical patients for more than 20 years. Now it’s your turn to experience its next-level comfort.
Softness or support? You don’t have to choose
The Purple GelFlex Grid is engineered to be both soft and supportive – because that’s what your body needs. Its unique design creates hundreds of columns that work together to support broad surfaces like your back, but give way under concentrated weight to gently cradle areas like shoulders and hips.
Doesn’t trap body heat
Unlike memory foam, the GelFlex Grid doesn’t trap body heat. As a result, our mattresses can maintain a comfortable temperature all night long.
With over 1400 individual air channels the GelFlex Grid dissipates excess body heat, drawing it away from you so you never sleep hot!
Relieves pressure
Only the GelFlex Grid cradles pressure points while maintaining support. It maintains your spine’s natural curve to reduce pain by 40%1. Your back will thank you.
Instantly adapts
Unlike slow-to-respond memory foam, GelFlex Grid instantly responds to movement, so you don’t feel stuck + reduce night disruptions by 21%.3

Frequently Asked Questions
An instantly adapting and rebounding comfort layer made from a super-stretchy material (Hyper-Elastic Polymer) we call GelFlex. It’s in all of our mattresses and we’re pretty sure you're gonna love it.
Trick question! It's both. Through the magic of physics, the Grid's columns give way under shoulders and hips but remain supportive for the back and legs.
It's one of those things you've gotta experience to believe, but you can think of it as the comfort equivalent of a trust fall: buoyant, cradling, supportive, and soothing.
Nope. All those little squares easily let air flow and body heat escape. Plus, the GelFlex material itself doesn't retain heat, so if you want to stay cool, you can.
Also known as Hyper-Elastic Polymer, our GelFlex material effortlessly stretches and springs back, again and again. It’s just one of the reasons our mattresses are backed by a 10-year warranty!
Yes! A safe option for people with allergies, the GelFlex Grid is made with recyclable, food-grade and food contact-grade material.
Absolutely! Our 100% nontoxic GelFlex Grid material is CleanAir GOLD and CertiPUR-US certified – as is our high-density polyurethane foam. The top GOLD rating from Intertek, a third-party quality assurance company, confirms that certified products will reduce health risks related to chemical exposure and meet the standards of other agencies promoting minimal VOC exposure.
Purple products won’t produce strong off-gassing; at most, there may be a faint “new mattress smell” at first that comes off as nutty or woodsy, but should quickly fade.
