Purple Mattress Review

This Purple Mattress review will cover every single aspect of this fantastic mattress. Imagine laying on a mattress and wondering what kind of mattress it is. That is the feeling you get with this mattress. You can’t help but notice that it is not your regular mattress.

The Purple mattress has been causing quite a stir online, the buzz around the mattress has made us look into this product. From what we can see, this mattress is a fierce competitor in the market.

Purple is a big name in the field of direct-to-consumer mattresses. It is well recognized for its Purple Grid, a brand-new memory foam alternative. They also manufacture pillows, sheets, mattress protectors, pet beds, and many more but for this article, we will be focusing solely on the mattress. 

We put this one-of-a-kind mattress to the test in terms of quality, feel, and performance. In this article, we will share our findings with you. After reading this article, you can then decide if you want to purchase this mattress or not.

Without further ado, here is our detailed and comprehensive review of the purple mattress. 

Overview

The Purple Mattress is a moderately-priced bed-in-box mattress with a grid-shaped top layer made of an exclusive hyper-elastic polymer. The Purple Grid is a proprietary technology found in every Purple mattress. 

The Purple mattress was the first of three mattress kinds that the firm offered. It’s a budget-friendly all-foam mattress. Purple mattresses are noted for being cool, low-cost, and high-value.

The Purple features a polyfoam support core, whilst the hybrid and Premier variants have pocketed coil support cores. Firm and medium or moderately firm variants are available for the Hybrid and Hybrid Premier models, respectively. The other Purple mattresses are more expensive than the original Purple mattress.

This mattress is made up of 3 distinct layers. In the comfort layers, this grid of hyper-elastic polymer allows for cooling airflow and gives the bed a responsive sensation. The Purple Grid relieves pressure on important joints in your body while supporting your spine. Its temperature-neutral gel may also aid in keeping you cool and comfortable as you sleep.

The top layer is supported by two layers of foam. The Grid is supported by a flexible middle layer of comfort form and a stable bottom layer of higher-density foam.

A flexible, cooling cover surrounds the Purple mattress. The cover is made of a polyester, viscose, and Lycra blend that complements the grid’s suppleness. The top grid layer, it’s also breathable and encourages airflow and temperature neutrality.

Despite the fact that the Purple is constructed of foam rather than springs, it does not feel like an all-foam mattress. The gel grid offers support without pressure by floating your bodyweight via the crosshatched substance.

It’s a fantastic option for people who sleep on their sides and therefore need pressure relief in their shoulders and hips, but it’s not for everyone. The gel grid’s floating sensation may appear weird at first. You might get used to it and even like it after a few nights of sleeping on it.

Performance

To help your decision-making process, we will review the performance of this mattress based on 6 important qualities that we feel a mattress should possess. Here’s our review of the Purple mattress’ performance in this key area.

• Firmness

Because of the unique properties of the polymer top layer, it’s difficult to rank the Original Purple bed in terms of firmness. However, it is not as soft as a water bed but it is not as firm as a foam bed, it is somewhere in between. We’d say it’s about a medium on the hardness scale. It provides an adequate amount of support to the body. In general, the mattress achieves a great mix of pressure alleviation and support. 

• Pressure Relief

An impressive thing about this mattress is that you can feel the polymer squares beneath your body changing, folding, and adjusting to your body’s shape as you lay down on the bed. 

It seems strange at first, but after a few nights, we’ve found that most individuals adjust to the sensation and come to enjoy it. It provides the pressure relief of memory foam without the sink-in sensation that some people dislike.

• Motion Isolation

This mattress does a fantastic job of absorbing motion, which is typical of an all-foam mattress. Strong motion isolation is popular among couples who share a bed. When one person moves around or gets on or off the bed, the motion does not travel across the mattress surface, causing the other sleeper to be disturbed.

All-foam beds isolate motion better than innerspring mattresses, some latex beds, and hybrids with pocketed coils. Memory foam comfort layers, in particular, are known to reduce motion transmission significantly across a mattress. The Purple Grid works in a similar way, allowing sleepers to place their weight on one portion of the mattress without influencing the rest of the mattress.

• Temperature

Purple beds aren’t quite cold, but when it comes to airflow and temperature regulation, they’re among the best available. Again, the top layer of Hyper-Elastic Polymer is to blame.

Purple’s Smart Comfort Grid Is a grid-like polymer substance. This essentially forms columns and rows of little polymer squares in which air can easily travel. This is, in general, one of the major benefits of Purple beds. In our opinion, this is one of the best mattresses for sleepers who tend to get hot in bed. if you get hot at night or just live in a hot region and don’t want to use the air conditioner this mattress is definitely your best bet.

• Edge Support

In terms of edge support, the Purple is average, which is typical of an all-foam mattress. The strength of a mattress’s edges in reaction to the weight placed on them is referred to as edge support. Innerspring or pocketed coil mattresses offer more durable edges than all-foam mattresses.

However, the Purple mattress has stronger edges than some all-foam mattresses. When a bed has weak edge support, sleepers are unable to use the entire surface of the bed. This is because it puts them at risk of rolling off. Strong edge support makes it easy to get in and out of bed.

• Ease of Movement

Because the Purple is both conforming and responsive, it has very good ease of movement rating. In general, the closer a mattress conforms to the body, the less mobility it allows. As highly conforming foam layers cradle the body, impressions form, and those impressions can take a few seconds to “bounce back.”

Many mattresses with memory foam comfort layers make it difficult to move around on, however, the purple mattress allows for ease of movement. Purple Grid allows for more movement than the highly conforming memory foam because it is both conforming and responsive. 

Sleeping Styles And Body Weight

Your weight and sleeping posture has a big impact on how firm or soft a mattress feels to you. In general, the heavier you are, the softer a mattress will be. This mattress can easily carry up to 250 pounds without feeling too soft. However, let us look at how sleeping style affects the mattress and sleep quality. To put it in simple terms, the Purple mattress is ideal for all sleepers, whether they sleep on their side, back, stomach, or a mix of all three. Here’s an example of how the mattress may feel based on how you sleep -just so you know what to expect. 

• Side Sleepers

For lighter side sleepers, the Purple mattress excels at delivering a blend of support and pressure reduction. To preserve spinal alignment, side sleepers need their hips and shoulders to sink into a mattress a little, but not too far, or they may face increased discomfort. Side sleepers also require a supportive transitional layer in their mattress to avoid developing pressure points in their shoulders and hips.

If you sleep on your side, we think the Purple mattress will suit all body types, from small to heavy. The top layer of Hyper-Elastic Polymer conforms well to the body of a side sleeper, cushioning the hips and shoulders. Overall, the bed provides a lot of pressure reduction, which is important for side sleepers.

• Back Sleepers

Purple mattresses, we believe, will give the required support for back sleepers to keep their spine in neutral alignment. Your hips will sink a little into the polymer material of the Purple bed when you sleep on your back (as they should), but not to the point where your spine becomes twisted. As a result, if you sleep on your back, the Purple mattress is a terrific choice.

A firmer mattress is recommended for heavy back sleepers. The Purple mattress is too soft for this group, and it is unable to provide adequate back support during the night. The Purple Mattress will not provide adequate support to heavy sleepers.

• Stomach Sleepers 

In comparison to sleepers who favor alternative sleep positions, stomach sleepers found the Purple mattress to be the least comfortable across all body weights. The Purple mattress is best for stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. For lighter sleepers who sleep in a variety of positions, including their stomachs, this mattress could be a decent choice. Most stomach sleepers, on the other hand, could probably locate a mattress that better suits their demands.

Most stomach sleepers prefer firmer mattresses and require adequate support to prevent pressure points from developing. Mattresses that are overly soft or too firm might strain stomach sleepers’ necks, shoulders, and lower backs.

Sleeping on the Purple will almost certainly cause discomfort to heavier stomach sleepers. For stomach sleepers weighing more than 130 pounds, a firmer mattress would be a preferable choice.

• Combo Sleepers

As you may expect, we think the Purple bed is a good choice for combo sleepers. For side sleepers, the bed provides appropriate pressure relief, as well as adequate support under the lower back and trunk for back and stomach sleepers. Plus, because the top layer is so sensitive, switching between positions will be a breeze.

• Does The Purple Mattress Have Any Warranty?

Purple mattresses are predicted to last 10 years, which is comparable to the industry average. Purple’s 10-year warranty is on the lower end of the spectrum when compared to other mattresses.

The guarantee does not cover any stains or tears that you may cause.
