Is a Purple Hybrid a Good Mattress for You?

Purple was founded in 2015 and has since grown into one of the most popular bedding brands on the market, thanks to a combination of cheeky advertisements and innovative products. It sells three different hybrid mattresses, the Purple Hybrid, the Purple Hybrid Premier 3, and Purple Hybrid Premier 4. The only difference between these beds is how much of Purple’s special grid layer is included in each. The original Hybrid uses 2 inches, the Premier 3 uses 3 inches, and the Premier 4 uses (you guessed it!) 4 inches.

As a result, these beds offer different amounts of pressure relief, but otherwise feel pretty similar. Take a look below to learn a little more about who each model might work best for.

Who I recommend a Purple Hybrid for

  • Back sleepers who like a firmer feel should like the original Purple Hybrid, and those who like a bit more pressure relief might prefer the Purple Premier 3.
  • Side sleepers could really like the Purple Premier 4, which offers a ton of cushioning around sensitive pressure points.
  • Stomach sleepers will likely enjoy the supportive feel of the original Purple Hybrid.
  • Hot sleepers should appreciate how cooling each of these mattresses are.
  • Combination sleepers should enjoy the bouncy feel of these beds.

Who I don’t recommend a Purple Hybrid for

  • Couples might not like the Purple mattresses. Since they’re so bouncy, you’re likely to feel a partner tossing and turning at night. One of our best memory foam mattresses might be a better fit if you’re easily disturbed at night.
  • If you prefer a traditional-feeling mattress, you might not be able to adjust to the unique feel of the Purple grid (which I’d describe as a bit like a water bed). If that sounds like you, I’d recommend one of our best innerspring mattresses instead.

How Firm are the Purple Hybrid Mattresses?

Next up, let’s get into what these bed-in-a-box hybrids actually feel like. Below, I’ll go over what it felt like to sleep on all three of the Purple Hybrid models. Keep in mind that feel is subjective, and can change depending on your body type and preferred sleep position. For reference, I’m 5’9”, about 125 pounds, and prefer to sleep on my side.

As you can see in the graphic below, I thought all three mattresses had distinct feels, so I’ll section them off below so you can get my full thoughts on each one.

The Purple Hybrids on the mattress firmness scale.
The Purple Hybrids on the mattress firmness scale.

Purple Hybrid: I found this mattress to be quite firm, so gave it a 7 out of 10 on the mattress firmness scale. When compared to the industry standard of 6.5 for medium firmness, it’s clear that this mattress is going to work best for those who like a more supportive feel. I think stomach or back sleepers would benefit most from this feel, as the polymer layer is thin enough to support an even spinal line from hips to shoulders.

Back sleeping on the Purple Hybrid
Back sleepers should enjoy the feel of the Purple Hybrid.

Purple Hybrid Premier 3: I gave this bed a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and felt it had a true medium-firm feel. I’d especially recommend this bed to combination sleepers who move between multiple positions in the night and those suffering from lower back pain or looking for a mattress for sciatica. It struck a really nice balance between pressure relief and support that I think could feel comfortable in most sleeping positions.

The Purple Hybrid Premier 3 could feel comfortable to combination sleepers.

Purple Hybrid Premier 4: I scored this bed as a 6 out of 10 on the mattress firmness scale. This soft mattress really cradled my pressure points and offered a nice amount of sinkage. But, I still didn’t feel “stuck-in” the bed. I’d recommend this mattress to side sleepers or side combination sleepers. I think these folks will really appreciate the pressure-relieving feel of this mattress.

Side sleepers should like the Purple Hybrid Premier 4.

Before we wrap this section up, I want to note that all three of the Purple Hybrids had a bouncy, responsive feel. I felt much more “on top of” than “in” these beds, and found it really easy to change positions at night. In fact, I’d say these are some of the best mattresses for combination sleepers on the market.

Purple Hybrid Mattress Performance

Firmness is hardly the only factor to consider when buying a new mattress. So, let’s see how these violet-hued bad boys perform for different weight classes, people with pain, and couples.

Testing the Purple Hybrids in Different Sleeping Positions

Depending on your preferred sleeping position and body weight you’ll need a different amount of pressure relief and support. Take a look below to see how the Purple Hybrids perform for different sleepers.

Are the Purple Hybrids Good Mattresses for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?

  • Light Back Sleepers – I think the Hybrid Premier 3 is a great fit for lightweight back sleepers, it should really fill in their lumbar regions for some nice pressure relief, and is plenty supportive for lighter folks. Either of the other hybrids could also work for these sleepers.
  • Light Side Sleepers – The Premier 4 is the way to go for these sleepers as well. It offers great pressure relief, which is important for side sleepers.
  • Light Stomach Sleepers – I’d recommend these folks stick to the original Purple Hybrid, which should keep their hips lifted up in line with their shoulders.

Are the Purple Hybrids Good Mattresses for Average Weight Sleepers (130 – 250 pounds)?

  • Average Weight Back Sleepers – The Hybrid Premier 3 is a nice fit for these sleepers, since it combines the pressure relief and support. It’s an especially nice choice if you move between positions at night.
  • Average Weight Side Sleepers – The Premier 4 is the best pick for these sleepers. Its thick top layer of hyper-elastic polymer provides plenty of room to sink in for pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
  • Average Weight Stomach Sleepers – The original Purple Hybrid should be supportive enough to keep these folks’ spines in a neutral straight line.

Are the Purple Hybrids Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 250 pounds)?

  • Heavy Back Sleepers – I’d recommend these sleepers stick to the Premier 3, which is thick enough to be durable, but won’t feel overly soft.
  • Heavy Side Sleepers – The Premier 4 is a nice choice for heavy side sleepers. Its thick grid layer provides plenty of space for sinkage, and its soft feel should be comfortable for these folks.
  • Heavy Stomach Sleepers – I wouldn’t recommend any of these beds to heavy stomach sleepers, who need a firmer mattress to provide optimal support. One of our best mattresses for heavy people could be a better fit.

Purple Hybrids Pain Relief Performance

Pain relief is closely tied to pressure relief, which is a measure of how well a bed is able to alleviate tension at the shoulders, hips, and lower back. To test for this, I like to use a pressure map.

It’s simple: I roll this gizmo out, hop aboard, and let the map do the rest! As I move around the bed, the gadget records the force my body’s exerting on the map, and makes a colored “map” of the pressure. Blue indicates areas of low pressure and red indicates areas of high pressure.

The Purple Hybrids' pressure relief results.
The Purple Hybrids’ pressure relief results.

Back Pain — Based on these pressure map results, the original Purple Hybrid is the best fit for sleepers with back pain. The map is blue across the board, but doesn’t gap around the lower back the way the Premier 3 and 4 maps do. This tells me the original Hybrid is keeping my weight evenly supported, which is a key to avoiding back pain.

Shoulder Pain — Based on these results, all three of these beds are great fits for sleepers with shoulder pain! They should do a nice job cushioning the shoulder area to relieve pressure.

Hip Pain — The Premier 4 is the clear winner for folks with hip pain. Its pressure map is almost completely blue, which tells me sensitive hip joints will be cradled throughout the night.

Purple Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples

Couples often prefer beds that isolate motion transfer, are responsive enough for sex, are cooling, and feature good edge support. Read on below to see how the Purple Hybrids stack up in those areas.

Motion Transfer

Motion transfer is the amount of movement detectable from one side of the bed to the other. This is an important factor for all sleepers, but especially for couples or folks who share a bed with a child or furry best friend.

To illustrate motion transfer, I dropped a 10-pound steel ball from heights of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches and measured the disturbance it caused: the bigger the lines, the bigger the disturbance.

The Purple Hybrids' motion transfer results.
The Purple Hybrids’ motion transfer results.

Considering how bouncy these mattresses are, I’m not that surprised to see they don’t offer great motion isolation. What this tells me is that you’re likely to feel movement across all three mattresses, which means they may not be the best fit for couples, especially if one partner is easily disturbed at night.

Sex

The best mattress for sex usually combines good motion isolation with enough bounce to make it easy to move around. Personally, I think the Purple Hybrids are a bit too bouncy to share if you’re a light sleeper. But if you’re not easily disturbed at night, they could be nice options for sex thanks to their lift and mobility.

Cooling

All of the Purple Hybrids are incredibly cooling. Hot sleepers should be happy on any of these beds. I’d say they’re also some of the best cooling mattresses you can find. This is great news for couples, who tend to overheat much more quickly than solo sleepers.

Edge Support

Edge support is a measure of whether or not you’ll be able to sleep all the way on the side of your bed and still feel supported. Great edge support can make your mattress feel a bit bigger, since you can spread out across its entire surface.

I thought all three Purple mattresses had good edge support. I could feel the Purple grid layer compress under my weight, but the foam and coils below stayed firm and supportive. Personally, I thought the Purple Premier 3 had the best edge support of the bunch.

What are the Purple Hybrids Made of?

Next up, let’s get into what these beds are made of. I’m sure most of you want to learn more about that special Purple Grid layer. This grid is the stretchy, purple top layer that gives the Purple mattresses their unique feel.

I’ll describe the grid, and all the other mattress layers, in detail below. As a reminder, all of the Purple Hybrids are constructed the same way. The only difference is how many inches of the Purple Grid each bed uses.

Cover — All these mattresses feature a breathable and stretchy polyester blend mattress cover.

Comfort Layer — Directly below the cover is where you’ll encounter the hyper-elastic polymer smart comfort grid. This grid is bouncy, supportive, and incredibly cooling. While it’s kind of hard to describe how this polymer material feels, I’d liken it to a water bed in that it cradles your body as you move. The original purple Hybrid uses 2 inches of the Grid, while the Hybrid Premier 3 uses 3 inches and the Hybrid Premier 4 uses 4 inches. The more grid there is, the more pressure-relieving the mattress feels.

A look at the Purple Grid.

Transition Layer — Next up, you’ll land on a layer of poly foam. This transition foam works to ease the sleeper down through the soft top grid and onto the sturdier pocketed coil system below.

Support Layer — The bulk of both the Hybrid and Hybrid Premier mattresses is a section of pocketed coils. These springs are extremely bouncy, so help to further lift the sleeper up and out of the structure. In general, you’ll likely feel more “on top” of these beds as the polymer grid and pocketed coils produce a ton of buoyancy.

Purple Hybrids Unboxing and Off-Gassing

The Purple Hybrids are all bed-in-a-box mattresses, but they actually come in bags instead of boxes! The Hybrid Premier models are very heavy, so Purple throws in complimentary white glove delivery with those beds. The original Purple Hybrid isn’t as hard to lift, but I’d still recommend having a friend nearby to help you unbag it. A perk of these mattresses is that they do not have a very strong off-gassing scent when compared to other bed-in-a-box models. Any scent should dissipate within a few hours.

My Final Thoughts about Purple Hybrid Mattresses

Well folks, we’ve arrived at the end of the review. After going over every possible detail I could think of, it’s now time to decide if one of these mattresses is right for you. And though I can’t make that decision for you, I can leave you with a few final thoughts to help you get there on your own.

My favorite things about the Purple Hybrid mattresses

I really love how cooling all of the Purple Hybrids are. They don’t trap much body heat at all, so I think most hot sleepers out there should be very happy on these beds! I also like how responsive the Purple Hybrid models are. Combination sleepers won’t have any trouble changing positions on these beds.

Finally, I really like the feel of the Purple Grid. It does a great job of helping you achieve a healthy spinal alignment, but still feels incredible pressure relieving. Especially when you choose one of the thicker models. If you’re willing to test out a more unique feel I think the Purple might be a great fit for you.

My Purple Hybrid mattress complaints

I will say that the Purple mattresses don’t feature the best motion isolation out there. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, if you’re really easily disturbed at night you might want to opt for a more traditional memory foam mattress, which will do a better job absorbing motion.

I do also want to note that a few customers have complained about the original Purple mattress sagging and forming indentations. I think the Purple Hybrids will be a bit more durable thanks to their innerspring coil layers, but heavier folks especially might want to opt for a different mattress if this is a concern. If you decide to purchase any Purple bed, ensure you place it on a solid platform, not a box spring, and rotate it 180 degrees every few months to increase its lifespan.

Purple Mattress Policies and FAQs

Purple Hybrid Vs.

After taking a deep-dive look at the Purple Hybrid and Purple Hybrid Premier mattresses, let’s see how they compare to other mattress models you’ll find on the online scene.

Purple Hybrids vs Leesa Hybrid

The Leesa Hybrid in the Sleepopolis Studio
The Leesa Hybrid in the Sleepopolis studio for review.
  • Like the Purple Hybrids, the Leesa Hybrid combines foam layers with pocketed coils for a one-two punch of pressure relief and support.
  • However, it has more of a traditional feel than any of the Purple beds, so could work for folks who aren’t sold on Purple’s unique feel.
  • In general, I’d recommend the Leesa Hybrid for back sleepers and couples.
  • For more on the Leesa Hybrid, check out my full Leesa Hybrid mattress review.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress

Leesa Hybrid

The Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress combines gentle foams with pocketed coils for a one-two punch of pressure relief and support. Back sleepers who like a more responsive mattress should be really happy on the Leesa Sapira.

Purple Hybrids vs Casper Hybrid

Casper Hybrid Back Sleepers
The Casper Hybrid.
  • Unlike the Purples, the Casper features zoned support, meaning it’s firmer at the hips and softer at the shoulders to offer optimal lumbar support.
  • The Purples are bouncier than the Casper Hybrid, which combination sleepers might appreciate.
  • The Purple 3 and Purple 4 are a bit more pressure-relieving than the Casper Hybrid.
  • Learn more in the full Casper Hybrid mattress review.

Casper Hybrid Cover

If you’re looking for a bouncy and supportive structure, the Casper Hybrid is most definitely the bed for you. It has a buoyant feel, but still offers some nice pressure relief, making it an ideal choice for back sleepers and combination sleepers.

Other Models from Purple

Purple also offers an all foam mattress with a similar feel to the Purple Hybrids. Learn more about that bed below.

Purple Hybrids vs Original Purple

Purple Mattress
The Purple Mattress in the Sleepopolis studio.
  • The Original Purple mattress’s support layer is made of high-density poly foam instead of pocketed coils.
  • The Original Purple is supportive, bouncy, and firm. Combination sleepers might particularly like this feel.
  • Like the Purple Hybrids, the Original Purple mattress is incredibly cooling, so it could be a good fit for folks who overheat at night.
  • The Original Purple is less expensive than either the Purple Hybrid or Purple Hybrid Premier.
  • For more, check out the full Purple mattress review.

Our Review Process

Our Sleepopolis reviewers personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time laying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress. Jump back to our mattress picks.

Still not sure if the Purple Hybrid or Purple Hybrid Premier is the right replacement for your old mattress? Take a look at the chart below to see how we rated these beds.

Summary

Best known for their proprietary hyperelastic polymer, Purple now features three new versions in a line that features varying heights of polymer over pocketed coils, creating very bouncy mattresses. The changes in height of the comfort layer grid give the new variations of the Purple different benefits depending on what position you sleep in. I found all three to sleep very cool — Purple markets their mattresses as “Temperature Neutral” — while providing a mix of support and pressure relief.
