Our concerns about the bed getting softer over time may also be for naught with the grid’s apparent resilience. Your body isn’t stressing memory foam, and the grid seems to be far more resilient than the memory foam we’ve tested in the past. While we (naturally) have concerns about Purple mattresses, there are no deal-breakers.ĭurability may be better over time thanks to the grid. The grid is what makes or breaks a Purple mattress. The underlying support layers also help isolate movement, so Purple is great for those who share a bed with a partner or pet. (The company does have firmer models, such as the Purple Hybrid, if this is a concern for you.) It’s comfortable, but I worry about long-term wear and support with softer mattresses like Purple Plus. I think it could have been a touch firmer.

Where some may find fault is the firmness of Purple Plus mattresses. The Purple grid made me feel immediately comfortable in my new position, which really meant I fell back to sleep faster. When I turn over at night, I wake up, and getting back to sleep can be difficult at times. The grid is as responsive as it’s billed, too. Big thumbs up.Īs a side sleeper, the Purple grid was great. The grid doesn’t trap heat, and though we’re in the cold winter months, I still sleep hot. I really enjoy the Purple’s heat distribution. Sounds ambitious, but it’s also kind of true. The concept behind Purple is the grid envelops you and makes you feel as though you’re floating. Is the Purple mattress comfortable to sleep on? The Purple mattress edges are fine for sleeping support, just not great for sitting on. If you share your bed with someone, edge support matters. Sitting on the edge of the bed, you’ll sink down a bit. If you’re a stomach sleeper, I suggest heading to a Purple showroom to test one for yourself.Įdge support could be better. The grid is still a touch soft for my liking when laying face-down. It’s just how bodies work!ĭitch the pillow and the Purple mattress was fine for face-down napping. If your hip area is face down, the grid will naturally cause strain in your back. Purple’s grid technology is a softer top layer than most mattresses have and was designed to support pressure points like your hips. Laying on my stomach I noticed the Purple was less comfy and supportive. I’m a side sleeper and had no issues with comfort when laying on the Purple mattress. One thing I can agree with other reviews on is the Purple may not be great for stomach sleepers. I’ll note this is subjective, and there’s nothing official on the Purple website noting a weight limit. Some reviews caution heavier sleepers (230 pounds seems to be the threshold) may find Purple a bit unsupportive. Lay down on a Purple mattress and you’ll again notice just how distinct the grid is. The grid makes itself known when you first touch the mattress top. The Purple Plus has an extra layer of comfort foam in the middle, which Purple claims gives it a more “medium” feel (the Purple mattress without the extra layer of foam is described as “medium-firm”). The grid comes next, and it’s supported on the edges by firmer, solid foam support. There’s a supportive foam layer at the base and a medium-density foam layer atop the base. What’s the Purple mattress made of?īeneath its breathable cover, Purple has several layers of… stuff.

Say what you like about hauling cumbersome boxes upstairs or through your home, at least you can recycle cardboard.Ī big plus? Purple uses CertiPUR-US certified foams so the off-gassing is less noxious than any other brand of mattress we’ve tested. We don’t like that the bag is not recyclable. Purple is no different than others in this regard, though we do like that Purple mattresses arrive in a bag rather than a box. You know the drill by now: mattresses arrive tightly coiled in a box or bag you haul them to the bed frame unwrap the package the mattress unfurls you wait a few hours to let it breathe its noxious gasses out make the bed get some rest. We like the bag, but cardboard is recyclable.Purple grid is immediately welcoming to any sleep position.Comes in a bag, which is easier for hauling up a flight of stairs.Is the Purple mattress comfortable to sleep on?.
