Purple Mattress Buying Guide

Posted on 2.3.23

Shopping for a new mattress can be a fun experience. Deciding which mattress is right for you though is not a decision that should be taken lightly. We spend about one-third of our lives in our beds and most people use a mattress for seven to ten years… that is a big commitment to make.

As the experts on all things sleep-related, we are here to make your shopping experience as easy as possible. We’ve put together this Purple Mattress Buying Guide below to help you easily find the best mattress for your needs.

Purple’s History & Features We Love

Purple Mattress was founded in 2015 and had over 20 years of development behind it at the time. Brothers, Tony and Terry Pearce had spent years creating cushioning technologies that were licensed for wheelchairs, shoes, and more.

In 2015, they launched their new mattress technology that we today know as Purple’s signature GelFlex™ Grid. This mattress technology offers the perfect combination of firm support and soft comfort.

All Purple mattresses come with a 10-year warranty and are nontoxic, hypoallergenic, and made in the USA.

Are Purple Mattresses Good?

Bedzzz Express has over 25 years of experience in the sleep industry. We can assure you that Purple mattresses are high-quality and a great choice in mattress.

Purple mattresses offer a unique, one-of-a-kind technology in their GelFlex Grid that no other mattress offers.

Purple Mattress Types

Purple offers three collections of mattresses, all featuring their signature GelFlex™ Grid. Shoppers can choose from the Essential Collection, the Premium Collection, and the Luxe Collection of mattresses.

Essential Collection

Essential Collection mattresses include the GelFlex™ Grid for instantly adaptive support, pressure point cradling, and a supportive foam core that produces less bounce when you move. Our favorite mattresses in this collection as the Purple® Mattress and the Purple Plus Mattress.

Purple Mattress

The Purple® Mattress is the original mattress that started it all. This mattress offers the perfect balance of support and comfort that Purple is so well-known for along with edge support, a breathable mattress cover, and open-air channels that provide a cooler night’s sleep.

Purple Plus Mattress

The Purple Plus Mattress offers an extra 2” layer of premium comfort foam that provides improved cushioning, increased airflow, and motion absorption.

Premium Collection

Premium Collection mattresses pair the Purple’s GelFlex Grid with the Responsive Coil Core to offer increased airflow, drawing more heat away from your body and making it easier to move throughout the night.

This collection is perfect for restless and hot sleepers.

The Premium Collection includes the Purple Hybrid® Mattress, Purple Hybrid Premier® 3, and Purple Hybrid Premier® 4 mattresses.

Purple Hybrid Mattress

The Purple Hybrid® Mattress offers a unique mix of purple's GelFlex Grid support, responsive coils, and cushioning transition foam. With a 2” GelFlex Grid layer and a premium StretchMax cover, this mattress is perfect for back and stomach sleepers.

Purple Hybrid Premier 3

The Purple Hybrid Premier® 3 mattress offers a 3” GelFlex Grid layer for added support along with the Responsive Coil Core featured in the Premium Collection line. This mattress is perfect for all combinations of sleepers - back, side, or stomach

Purple Hybrid Premier 4

Purple Hybrid Premier® 4 offers purple's thickest layer of GelFlex™ Grid for added pressure relief and the most immersive feel. It is ideal for sleepers who want alignment paired with comfort that feels soft and cradling.

This mattress is great for back and side sleepers.

Other Purple Products

We are proud to carry Purple’s high-quality line of sleeping products including pillows, sheets, mattress protectors, and foundations.

How Long Do Purple Mattresses Last?

Purple mattresses have a 10-year lifespan and come with a 10-year warranty from Purple to ensure you have years of comfortable sleep. As with all mattresses, Purple recommends replacing your mattress every 7 to 10 years.

While the GelFlex Grid material in Purple mattresses should never break down, the foam layers that support added comfort will wear over time leading to the recommended 7 to 10 year replacement recommendation.

Which Purple Mattress is Right for Me?

There are several factors that play into choosing which mattress is right for you. Here are some of our recommendations based on sleep habits and styles:

• For hot sleepers the Purple® Mattress is perfect.

• For side sleepers, we suggest the Purple Hybrid Premier® 3.

• For stomach sleepers, we recommend the Purple Hybrid Premier® 3.

• For back sleepers the Purple Hybrid Premier® 4 is great.

• For restless sleepers the Purple Plus Mattress is perfect.

• For sleepers that need added joint support, we suggest the Purple Hybrid Premier® 4.

These guidelines are helpful to follow, but we suggest discussing your needs with an expert and shopping at a store that offers extended warranties and a return guarantee to ensure you are happy with your purchase for years to come.
