We Tested (and Rated!) Every Mattress at Purple

"If you have back pain, then you already know that shopping for a mattress is hard work. No matter how much research you do before you shop, you can never be 100% sure that a mattress will work for you until you've slept on it for a few nights. There are a few brands that dependably offer advanced pressure relief and comfort, though, and should be at the top of your list."

"In a sea of direct-to-consumer (DTC) mattress brands, Purple genuinely stands out for its GelFlex Grid, which is the material used in all of its mattresses. It's more adaptable, supportive, and breathable than foam, which makes it an ideal mattress material for those who are looking for added pressure relief. We've been writing about Purple mattresses and pillows for years, and many of our editors and writers are fans (including Editor-in-Chief Charli Penn, who sleeps on the RestorePremier)."

Purple uses a GelFlex Grid hyper-elastic polymer across its mattresses, offering greater adaptability, support, and breathability than traditional foam. The material provides targeted pressure relief, making it suitable for people with back pain. Purple offers three mattress collections: Essential (affordable, GelFlex plus foam), Restore (hybrid with targeted pressure relief), and Rejuvenate (higher-tier). In-store testing is advised because Purple's feel differs from typical foam or spring beds. Seven mattresses span the Restore and Rejuvenate collections, covering a range of sleeper types and pressure-relief needs. Testing evaluated comfort, pressure relief, and suitability across different sleeper types.
