This is our honest and unbiased purple mattress review. The Purple mattress is among the most recent innovations in the mattress industry. This mattress is only sold online. Even though it is still new on the online market, it has immediately become famous. The primary reason for its popularity is its extraordinary design.
The same as other mattresses, the Purple mattress is made up of several layers. However, one thing that makes this mattress unique is the Smart Comfort Grid. This grid is made up of a hyperelastic polymer. This material has the capacity to shrink when a particular level of pressure is enforced on it. The uppermost layer of the mattress is the Smart Comfort Grid. It is known to provide extraordinary pressure relief and support. It also adds to the breathability and cooling capacity of the mattress, thereby making sleepers more comfortable.
The modern design of this mattress provides sleepers with a lot of benefits. The most remarkable advantage of this product is that it promotes proper spine alignment, thus minimizing pressure on the back, neck, spine, and other parts of the body.
As claimed by the creators of the Purple mattress, it is intentionally made to make the body comfortable while asleep in order for the brain to also recover. Therefore, this allows sleepers to have a relaxing, restorative, satisfying, and restful sleep.
The question is, does the Purple mattress keep its promises? In this review, we will discover the benefits that we can gain from this product and how this mattress stands up from the rest of the mattresses that are sold online.
The Purple mattress has a thickness of 9.5 inches. This is made up of 3 layers of polymer and foam. The three layers are as follows:
- 2-inch cutting-edge hyperelastic polymer
- 5-inch polyurethane foam
- 4-inch polyurethane foam
Purple matress Topmost Layer
The first layer of this mattress is composed of 2-inch hyperelastic polymer foam. This layer is what makes this mattress extraordinary. This is the only mattress that is made up of hyperelastic polymer. There are 2 main benefits that you can gain from hyperelastic polymer:
- It adds to the breathability of the mattress and prevents the mattress to absorb body heat. This material keeps the surface of the mattress cool, thereby making sleepers comfortable.
- It alleviates body pain that is caused by pressure when lying in one position for a long period of time. This also promotes spinal alignment.
In this layer, the hyperelastic polymer foam is arranged in a smart grid design. This feature makes the Purple mattress stand out from the rest of the mattress brands available in the market.
The Second Layer
The next layer of the purple mattress is composed of 3.5-inch polyurethane foam. This layer functions together with the topmost layer to create a high level of transitional and compression support. This support is necessary for those sleepers who have more than average weight since the foam is beneficial in evenly distributing the weight throughout the mattress and in alleviating pain caused by pressure.
The Third Layer
The base layer of the mattress is made up of 4 inches of polyurethane foam. This layer functions together with the upper layers to provide sleepers with the optimal support and comfort that they need.
The Cover
Technically, the cover is not considered a layer of the mattress, but this portion contributes to the level of support and comfort that the mattress provides. This is because the cover is designed to hold together all the layers, make the mattress softer, and enhance breathability. The cover is made up of a combination of polyester, polyester-Lycra, and viscose. These materials, when combined together, make the cover remarkably breathable, thus adding to the breathability of the first layer. Moreover, the cover has a soft texture and is stretchable, making the mattress durable. We tried to pull the cover in different areas, and we are amazed to discover that it went back to its original position quickly.
The firmness of the mattress is measured on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 the firmest. For the Purple mattress, we give it a rating of between 6 and 6.5. This means that the mattress has average firmness, making it suitable for most sleepers.
The first layer, which is composed of hyperelastic polymer, provides extraordinary comfort, unlike other mattresses that we have tried before. This layer indeed gives your body a comfortable hug. In addition, even if it hugs your body, it does not indent excessively. Therefore, it does not make you feel that you’re trapped in the mattress.
Honestly speaking, the Purple mattress provides extraordinary comfort which we have not observed on other mattresses. The uniquely designed topmost layer efficiently relieves pain caused by pressure, making sleepers comfortable. The second and bottom layers perfectly support the first layer.
Moreover, the Purple mattress has the capacity to efficiently minimize motion transfer. Motion transfer is usually an issue when it comes to mattresses, and this disturbs couples who are sharing a bed. When sleeping on the Purple mattress, you can only slightly feel the movement made by your partner, thereby allowing you to have a restful and comfortable sleep.
The capacity of the mattress to alleviate pain caused by pressure is also impressive. The top layer is designed to take away any pressure that may be enforced on your body while lying down, thus minimizing pain in the neck, shoulders, spine, hips, legs, and other parts of the body. Whatever is the sleeping position, this mattress can efficiently relieve body pain caused by pressure.
When it comes to supporting, the Purple mattress is exceptional. The top layer provides a high level of support for sleepers. The middle and bottom layers also enhance the level of support that the mattress provides. The three layers are combined to create a stable sleeping surface.
The Purple mattress does not only provide exceptional support and comfort, but it has also the capacity to provide sleepers with a cool sleeping surface because of the air pockets that are formed in the one-of-a-kind webbed structure of the polymer smart grid. The grid efficiently allows air to flow, thereby preventing a high amount of body heat to be absorbed into the mattress. The soft, thin, and breathable cover also adds to the cooling factor of the Purple mattress.
When a mattress gives off an undesirable odor, this is referred to as off-gassing. This issue is commonly encountered by people who purchase foam mattresses. The usual chemicals used in the manufacturing process of the foam have strong odors. However, the manufacturer of Purple mattresses avoids using these chemicals. That’s why the Purple mattress has minimal off-gassing. If ever you will notice any smell from the mattress upon opening it, we suggest placing the mattress in a well-ventilated space and leaving it for a few hours, and the smell will just disappear.
We were also amazed about the impact of the Purple mattress when it comes to intimacy. The polymer fabric and the extraordinary web structure of the mattress efficiently provide an excellent bounce. Therefore, the mattress will easily bounce back after quick movements or when pressure is applied to it. In addition, the balanced indentation factor and the heightened edge support make the mattress fit for intimate activities.
There are several sleeping positions that we need to consider when choosing a mattress. In this review, we will also scrutinize the level of comfort and support that this mattress can provide to different types of sleepers. In the following, we will be presenting to you the impact of this mattress to various sleeping positions:
The Back Sleepers
The Purple mattress is designed intentionally to promote proper spine alignment. Because of this, we can say that this mattress is perfect for back sleepers. This mattress aligns the spine properly, thus minimizing the buildup of pressure.
Stomach
The Purple mattress can also give stomach sleepers the comfort and support that they desire. Then again, the Smart Comfort Grid on the top layer makes this possible. Stomach sleepers usually complain of having a feeling of being trapped in the mattress. However, with the Purple mattress, they can get that comfortable and restful sleep.
The Side Sleepers
The same as other types of sleepers, the Purple mattress is also perfect for side sleepers. This mattress will meet their needs in terms of comfort and support. Then again, this is because of the extraordinary grid structure on the first layer. The mattress has a low indentation level, so pressure buildup will not occur. It is also efficient in maintaining the proper position of your spine while you are sleeping on your side. This feature is unique to this mattress.
To get the maximum benefits of the Purple mattress, it is best to use a durable or solid foundation.
The most ideal foundation for this mattress is a solid platform or a bed frame that has both vertical and horizontal slats. By using one of these foundations, you can get the maximum support that this mattress has to provide. The Purple mattress can also be directly placed on the floor. This way, the floor can serve as a stable foundation.
Another ideal option is to use the Purple platform base. You can purchase this together with the mattress. This foundation is specially created to provide the best support for the mattress and this will also ensure that you get the maximum benefits that your bed has to provide.
Conclusion
The Purple mattress is a great choice if you’re in search of a mattress that provides a high level of comfort and support, is durable, has a high bounce-back rate, and has minimal heat retention. This mattress also conforms to the contour of your body. Although this has a high bounce-back rate, it has minimal motion transfer; thus, this is perfect if you’re sharing a bed with your partner. We have noticed that the Purple mattress is distinct from any other mattresses that we have tried before.
This is an excellent mattress. We strongly recommend it!
