The original Purple Mattress is specially designed with pressure relief in mind, making it great for side sleepers struggling with hip and shoulder pain. The patented technology allows your spine to maintain its natural curve as you sleep.
The Purple Hybrid, formerly known as the Purple 2, builds upon the original design by adding a coil layer for extra support. This mattress has a firm feel which is great for back sleepers who need that support and natural pressure relief.
The Purple Hybrid Premier mattress, formerly known as the Purple 3 and the Purple 4, offers you the softest option of Purple’s four mattresses. It’s perfect for athletes, seniors, and anyone else who craves pressure relief from their mattress. Its motion isolation features also make it a great option for couples.
The Purple Kids mattress gives children a chance to rest soundly on the Purple grid, surrounded by a polyfoam comfort layer and a foam support layer. Its medium on the firmness scale allows it to work for most children.

Purple started out as an idea two brothers, 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 spinal alignment, that is exactly what the grid technology is designed to offer. The comfort grid is made from Hyper-Elastic Polymer®. As you put 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 temperature neutral.
