You’ve Seen The Purple Mattress Commercials, But Is It Really Worth The Hype?
I’ve been loving my mattress for more than 3 years.
When I went mattress shopping three years ago, I made a checklist, went to multiple stores, and tried dozens of models. I didn’t expect the winner to be a Purple hybrid mattress, a brand I’d seen ads for but hadn’t spent much time thinking about. But it has remained a gem. Even after a recent trip where we stayed at a fancy hotel (the type that brags about its bespoke pillow-top beds), my back-sleeping partner who runs hot and my side-sleeping, always-cold self both got a much better night’s sleep in our own bed.
Purple is best known for its grid (officially called the GelFlex Grid) which is found in all its mattresses. The technology has been used in hospital beds for 20-plus years to minimize points of discomfort. Basically, it gives way more where there’s more pressure (think: your shoulders and hips), and it’s more buoyant where things are lighter on your legs, arms, and neck. Plus, the material doesn’t retain heat, so it’s a good option for hot sleepers, and it is CertiPUR-US certified, hypoallergenic, and even recyclable.
Below, find eight great additions to make your life more comfortable, from mattresses to pillows and seat cushions. All the mattresses come with a 100-night trial period and 10-year warranty.
