Purple mattress stores do not employ salespeople who work on commission. Instead, they provide small showrooms where customers can try mattresses without being pressured by high-pressure salespeople.
Back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds typically find comfort with the Purple mattress’s lumbar support and pressure relief, as well as its firmness for heavier back sleepers. Hip and shoulder pain sufferers find relief through its GelFlex Grid layer which conforms to individual curves.
Support
Purple mattresses boast an innovative feel that strikes a balance between softness and firmness, thanks to their proprietary Hyper-Elastic Gel Polymer Grid that responds to pressure points by collapsing under certain spots while remaining upright elsewhere – giving sleepers equal amounts of support and pressure relief.
The grid sits atop 2.5 inches of medium-soft poly foam. This layer serves as a transition from the comfort layer to the four inches of high-density poly foam at the bottom support layers, providing shape for the bed. In addition, there is also a 4-inch layer of medium-firm poly foam providing support and stabilizing all of its layers.
Lightweight back sleepers will find that the Purple mattress provides great lumbar support and enough sinkage to maintain proper spine alignment, without compressing its gel grid too heavily (which could result in too firm of an experience).
Side sleepers will also appreciate the Purple mattress, although those weighing more may require a firmer option to maintain proper support and spinal alignment. Heavier individuals may require an even firmer bed as an adequate support option.
Motion isolation on an all-foam mattress like the Purple mattress is above average for an all-foam bed, thanks to the griddled buckling column gel used. As its movement-absorbing properties make sleeping through your partner’s tosses and turns more likely.
The Purple mattress provides excellent edge support, making it easier for users to both sit up and get out of bed without strain or difficulty. This makes it superior to many all-foam mattresses which only provide limited support around their perimeters.
Comfort
The Purple mattress provides outstanding comfort with its exclusive GelFlex Grid and other foam layers, which cradle your body while eliminating pressure points across all sleeping positions. Furthermore, these grid patterns facilitate airflow while simultaneously controlling temperature regulation.
The Purple mattress boasts a medium firmness that should please a range of sleepers. Back and average-weight side sleepers, as well as light to medium stomach sleepers should find comfort with this mattress; heavier stomach sleepers may require the hybrid version as its all-foam construction may not provide them enough support.
Heavier back sleepers should find the Purple mattress offers ample lumbar support; though they might prefer something firmer. People suffering from hip pain will appreciate how closely the curves follow the body to alleviate pressure build-up in this area, while shoulder pain sufferers should find this mattress cradles their shoulders well and minimizes shoulder sinkage.
The mattress comes ready-assembled, in a box. It includes a cover made of the same flexible four-way stretch fabric used on the mattress itself as well as two bolster pillows made with this material – hypoallergenic and fire retardant covers are included as standard features. Purple mattresses can be easily cleaned using mild detergent, and machine washed. Certified as CertiPUR-US products with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), you may notice an initial off-gassing smell upon first opening your bed but this should quickly dissipate. The Purple mattress comes with a 100-night trial period and offers a full refund if it doesn’t meet your standards. In addition, small showrooms allow consumers to try the beds without feeling pressured into making an purchase; staff in these stores does not receive commission payments so the experience feels more like attending an exhibition at a convention than shopping for mattresses at traditional retail outlets.
Motion Isolation
Purple’s unique gel grid layer may not be your typical mattress material, but it does an exceptional job of reducing motion transfer. This feature is particularly important for couples sharing a bed as it helps prevent sudden awakenings when their partner tosses and turns. In addition, edge support is also impressive and should provide ample comfort while sleeping close to the edges of their mattress.
Purple mattress is an excellent option for stomach and back sleepers, thanks to its gridded buckling column gel layer conforming to your curves to alleviate pressure points in these areas. Additionally, this mattress may help alleviate hip pain as its layers relieve stress in joints such as hip flexors. However, heavyweight side sleepers may not find enough support here to keep their spine properly aligned.
If you prefer mattresses with more of a bouncier feel, a hybrid or innerspring mattress featuring coils might be your answer. While this bed does provide some bounce, its responsiveness will fall below that of an alternative mattress featuring coils.
As is true with many mattresses, the Purple mattress cannot be flipped over for easy repositioning – although this could present problems for certain users. Because its top layer consists of GelFlex grid technology, switching sides requires replacing an entire mattress if you decide to switch. But don’t fret too much over this as there is a 100-night return policy and warranty to protect you against defects or damages; additionally it contains high quality materials certified as meeting health and environmental standards by certiPUR-US certification.
Warranty
Purple provides a 10-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects and wear-related wear on their mattress, but only applies to the original purchaser and can be voided if care and maintenance guidelines aren’t strictly observed, including rotating and flipping it periodically, using a mattress protector, and supporting it with an appropriate bed frame or foundation.
This company offers a 100-night sleep trial and free shipping and pickup. They also provide monthly payment plans and financing solutions.
Some customers have reported issues with Purple’s customer service and delivery policies. Some individuals have claimed their mattress arrived damaged or late; others report being taken aback when their new Purple mattress appeared without prior notice on their doorstep. Others were disappointed to experience sagging or indentation within only one year, which proved difficult to remedy with replacement options available from Purple.
Purple’s innovative mattress features a stretchy, hyper-elastic polymer grid designed to contour to your body and promote airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night and helping prevent sagging typical of traditional innerspring mattresses. Purple may be suitable for hot sleepers while it could be too firm for others who prefer an all-foam or memory foam option; the company even offers hybrid versions so users can get the best of both worlds.
