Purple started out as an idea two brother, Tony and Terry, had while fly fishing. Tony is a rocket scientist and Terry works in manufacturing and design. Together, they came up with the technology behind the Purple mattress’s patented grid technology.
Because the idea behind the Purple mattress was pressure relief and alignment, that is exactly what the grid technology is designed to offer. The comfort grid is made from Hyper-Elastic Polymer®. As you out pressure on the grid, it pushes back until those pressure points sink, but other areas (like your back) are supported. It also offers great airflow to keep you cool.
