If you’ve spent time looking for a new bed online, chances are you’ve come across the Purple mattress. It’s a truly unique bed that has earned a ton of devotees (and its share of cynics) for its innovative construction. The bed contains something called the Purple Grid layer, which makes it feel different than any other mattress — almost like you’re floating.
We’ll take a closer look at the Purple Grid layer and more in this Purple mattress review, where I put the bed to the test and assess it for quality, feel, and performance. I’ll share my results and let you know whether or not I think the Purple might be right for your sleep needs.

Is the Purple Mattress Right for You?
How a mattress feels to you is going to depend on factors like your body weight, preferred sleeping position, and whether or not you sleep with a partner or pet. Take a look at some of my recommendations below for who I think may and may not like the Purple.
Who I Recommend the Purple Mattress for
- Sleepers with pain issues should be happy on this mattress. The Purple’s top layer of proprietary GelFlex Grid material is pressure-relieving, which helps reduce pain.
- Hot sleepers should be happy on this bed. The Purple Grid allows for airflow and assists with temperature regulation throughout the night.
- Shoppers on a budget will love how affordable this mattress is compared to comparable beds on the market.
- I think it’s a good choice for combination sleepers. It has a bouncy, buoyant feel that makes switching positions easy.
Who I Don’t recommend the Purple Mattress for
- I wouldn’t recommend this bed to heavy people. I don’t think the Purple has enough support for anyone over about 250 pounds. If that’s you, I’d recommend checking out our best mattress for heavy people roundup, which has tons of super supportive beds.
- This mattress isn’t firm enough for strict stomach sleepers. These sleepers need a firm mattress to prevent their hips from sinking out of line with their shoulders.
- Anyone after a traditional feeling bed isn’t going to be happy on the Purple. Its gel grid layer gives a “floating on air” feeling.
Purple Mattress Video Review
How Firm is the Purple Mattress?
Now that you have a good idea of whether or not you’d like this mattress, let’s get into the good stuff: firmness. Firmness is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a new mattress. Keep in mind that firmness is subjective, and depends on factors like your body type and how you sleep. To give you the most objective idea of firmness possible, I averaged my firmness score with a few of my colleagues’.
After spending some time rolling around on the Purple, we decided to give it a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest. Since 6.5 is the industry standard for medium-firmness, this is a true medium-firm bed.
In addition to its firmness level, I’d say this bed has a decidedly “on top” of the bed feel, almost like you’re floating over it. You’re not going to feel yourself sinking deep into this mattress (like you would on a memory foam bed). Instead you’re going to feel lifted up and out of the structure. This is a nice feature for anyone worrying about feeling “stuck” in their mattress.
We recommend this mattress for the following sleeper types: Financing options are available for this mattress. The Purple has a unique comfort layer of GelFlex Grid, which offers great pressure-relief and cooling. It has a medium-firm feel should appeal to a range of sleepers.

Purple Mattress Performance
To put the Purple to the test, I used a few of our specialized sleep tools. I measured how well it absorbs motion, its ability to relieve pain, and whether it has strong edges. I’ll share those results below, but first I’d like to discuss how this mattress performs for sleepers of different weights.
Purple Mattress – Sleeping Positions and Body Weight
Different weights need different amounts of support, and you’ll experience a mattress differently depending on your preferred sleep position. Take a look at some of my recommendations below.
Is the Purple a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – I think light back sleepers would be quite happy on this bed. They’ll experience some great pressure relief, and enough support to keep their spine in a neutral alignment.
- Light Side Sleepers – I also like this bed for light side sleepers. I’m a light side sleeper myself, and I found that my hips and shoulders sank into the GelFlex Grid material nicely.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – This bed should be just firm enough for these sleepers. Stomach sleepers need to make sure their hips stay in line with their shoulders, and light sleepers should get that on this bed.
Is the Purple a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130 – 250 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – I think the Purple bed is a good choice for average-weight back sleepers. They’ll enjoy the conforming feeling they’ll get around their lower back.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – I think most average-weight side sleepers should be happy on this bed. The polymer layer provides nice contouring. If you suffer from hip pain, I might go with a softer mattress that’ll give even more cushioning.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – I don’t think this bed is firm enough for stomach sleepers. They need a firm mattress to keep their hips propped up, preventing their spines from curving.
Is the Purple a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 250 pounds)?
- Heavy Back, Side, and Stomach Sleepers – I don’t think this mattress has the level of support heavy sleepers need. I’d recommend looking for a bed that’s specifically designed for higher body weights.
Purple Mattress Pain Relief Performance
How well a mattress alleviates pain depends on whether or not it can relieve pressure, especially at sensitive pressure points at the hips, shoulders, and lower back.
To measure pressure relief, I used a handy pressure mat. I placed the mat on top of the mattress and climbed aboard. The mat created a “map” of how much pressure my body exerted on the mattress in different positions. The map turns blue to green for low pressure, and yellow to red for high pressure. You’ll see those graphics below.
Back Pain – I think this is a nice mattress for back pain. The map is all blue at my back in each position, which shows there’s low pressure there. If firm beds have been better for your back pain in the past, I might opt for a slightly firmer mattress than this Purple.
Shoulder Pain – I like the Purple for shoulder pain. The grid offers great pressure relief and should cradle sore shoulders well.
Hip Pain – I also like the Purple for hip pain. Again, that grid layer does a great job cradling the body. If you’re a side sleeper with severe hip pain, I’d go for a softer mattress that should provide extra pressure relief.
Purple Mattress Performance for Couples
If you sleep with a partner, there’s a few extra features you’ll want to look for in a new mattress. You’ll want to see if it absorbs your partner’s movements, if it’s responsive enough for sex, if it sleeps cool, and how strong its edges are.
Motion Transfer
Motion transfer is the movement detectable from one side of the bed to the other. It’s important for couples as it shows whether or not you’re going to feel your partner’s every move.
To measure motion transfer, I dropped a 10-pound steel ball from three different heights on one side of the bed and measured the results on the opposite side of the bed with a seismometer. Each drop is meant to symbolize a different movement you’re likely to experience in bed, from tossing and turning (4 inches) to getting out of bed (8″) all the way to full on jumping (12″).
These are pretty high motion transfer results, so you’re likely to feel your partner tossing and turning. If you’re easily woken up, consider a mattress with better motion isolation.
Sex
The best mattress for sex is one with a mix of bounce and responsiveness, making moving around easy. The Purple has just that. You shouldn’t have any issue switching positions on this bed. I’d say it’s a great bed for sex.
Cooling
Since two people produce more body heat than one, it’s important for couples to look for a cooling mattress. I think the Purple sleeps really cool, thanks to its super breathable polymer grid, allowing air to flow easily through the mattress.
Edge Support
Edge support refers to how well a mattress holds up on the edges as compared to the center. A mattress with good edge support can feel larger, since you’ll be able to use the whole bed.
This mattress doesn’t have strong edge support. When lying on the edges, I did feel it collapsing below me.
What is the Purple Mattress Made Of?
The Purple mattress has a 9.25″ height and is made with a combination of foams and of course, the Hyper-Elastic polymer Purple Grid. Let’s take a look inside!
Cover – The mattress cover is made from a blend of polyester, lycra, and viscose. It has a nice, soft feel and is breathable.
Comfort Layer – The main event. This layer is made up of 2″ of the Hyper-Elastic polymer Purple Grid. This layer has a waffle-like design, allowing for airflow. It has a soft, squishy, and stretchy feel and offers some great initial pressure relief.
Transition Layer – Next up is a 3.5″ layer of high-density polyurethane foam foam. This gives the bed some nice support and keeps the sleeper from sinking too far into the mattress.
Base Layer – The base layer is made from 4″ of poly foam that has a slightly higher density than the foam layer above it. This gives the bed even more support and durability.
Purple Mattress Unboxing and Off-Gassing
The Purple is a bed-in-a-box mattress, which means it ships compressed in a box. You’ll have to unbox it at home. I’d recommend unboxing it in the room in which you’re using it, so you won’t have to worry about lugging it up any stairs or around corners. Waiting at least 24 hours after unboxing this bed before you sleep on it. The foam layers in this bed need a bit of time to off-gas, or release trapped odors.

My Final Thoughts about the Purple Mattress
We’ve arrived at the end of my Purple mattress review! I hope I’ve given you an idea of whether or not the Purple is right for you. Though I can’t make your decision, I’ll leave you with a few final thoughts.
My favorite things about the Purple mattress
I love how pressure-relieving this bed is. If you suffer from pain concerns, this bed is a great option, as it provides a unique floating feeling that should help reduce pain. I also like how responsive this bed is. If you’re worried about feeling “stuck” in your mattress, you’ll be happy on this buoyant bed. It’s a cooling mattress too; the Purple grid is aerated, promoting breathability. Finally, this bed comes at a great price.
Purple mattress considerations
This could either be a pro or a con, but the Purple has a super unique feel that might not appeal to everyone. If you’re after a traditional feel, I’d go with an innerspring mattress instead. Additionally, this bed has high motion transfer, so if you’re disturbed by a restless partner, I’d check out one of our best mattresses for couples instead.
We recommend this mattress for the following sleeper types: Financing options are available for this mattress. The Purple has a unique comfort layer of GelFlex Grid, which offers great pressure-relief and cooling. It has a medium-firm feel should appeal to a range of sleepers.

Other Purple Mattress Models
In addition to the original Purple mattress, Purple offers three hybrid mattresses ranging in firmness. I’ll share how they compare below, and you can also head to Purple.com to learn more.
Purple vs Purple Hybrid and Hybrid Premiers
- The Purple Hybrid and the Purple Hybrid Premiers feature a sturdier build than the Purple thanks to the inclusion of coils.
- The Purple puts a Hyper-Elastic Polymer grid over poly foam, while the hybrid models feature the same polymer over pocketed coils. This creates great bounce and mobility.
- Both the updated Purple and the Purple Hybrid have 2″ of Hyper-Elastic Polymer, which leads to a supportive, firmer feel because there’s not much room to sink into the mattress.
- In contrast, the Hybrid Premiers include either 3″ or 4″ of the grid for greater pressure relief. For this reason, the Hybrid Premiers should appeal more to strict side sleepers.
- Both the Hybrid and Hybrid Premiers are more expensive than the Purple.
- Read our Purple Hybrid mattress review for more information.

The Purple Hybrid Premier is a softer version of the Purple Hybrid. It comes in two versions: the Hybrid Premier 3 and the Hybrid Premier 4. These numbers refer to the thickness of the mattress's comfort layer.

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.
