What Is A Purple Mattress (2024)?

A Purple Mattress is designed with a patented pressure releasing material called Hyper-Elastic Polymer™. It cannot be categorized under traditional mattress compositions such as memory foam and latex, as its unique formulation puts it in a class of its own.

Science Behind The Purple Grid™‍

The Purple Mattress designers wanted to give people a better night's sleep, a mattress that was firm and soft, adaptable, and cool.

They invented Hyper-Elastic Polymer™, a recyclable material derived from mineral oil that's durable and unlike anything else on the market.

The Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ is CertiPUR-US® Certified, meaning it's non-toxic and allergen resistant.

Organized in a grid formation, this design is known as The Purple Grid™. The grid walls bend and fold depending on how much pressure it receives. This structure makes the mattress feel firm and soft at the same time and instantly adapt to your body position. Side, stomach, and back sleepers all experience the same comfortable rest!

The Purple Grid™ contains over 1,800 air channels that make it easy for air to flow freely, dissipating moisture and heat. This ensures a comfortable, temperature-regulated sleep all night.

Even better? The pressure-dependent material allows for no-feel motion transfer. You can stay asleep, even if your partner gets up or moves about.

Composition Layers Of Each Purple Mattress‍

Now that you know the science behind the material let's take a closer look at each layer that makes up the Purple mattress.

The Purple Mattress

• Layer 1: SoftFlex Cover. Designed to let you feel the full cool, no pressure support of The Purple Grid™.
• Layer 2: The Purple Grid™. A 2" layer of the patented material gives you spinal support, with pressure-relieving benefits at the same time.
• Layer 3: Dual-layer Comfort Foam. At the core sits the soft and responsive comfort layer atop a firm, supportive layer. Purple is built to last, using high-density foam.

‍Purple offers two additional mattresses: The Purple Hybrid and The Purple Hybrid Premier, to give you options in finding the best sleep possible.
