I asked Purple what the difference is and got this reply: The Purple Plus has the updated foams in the lower layers. The Costco mattress is using our old foams/standard foams that we use in our Purple mattress, there are just a few more of those layers than in our Purple mattress.

r/Costco on Reddit: Anyone tried the purple mattress?
February 25, 2025 -

The purple mattress is $400 off at my local Costco right now. I’ve always wanted one, and I sat on the little rectangular sample today and it was so comfortable. I have a bad back and have a coolive hybrid mattress right now, i’ve had it for a few years and like it, but it’s not AMAZING. Is the purple mattress as good as people say it is? Or is my conviction that every mattress is practically the same if it’s a similar material? ie if i get another hybrid mattress it will essentially be the same. I want to get an amazing mattress that I will always be comfortable on and is comfortable for my back. Is that the purple mattress? If so I need to jump on it while it’s $400 off.

Edit: thank you everyone for the great advice!!! looks like I’ll be going to the mattress store to lay on some mattresses. Everyone brought up a great point how if I have a hybrid now, I should stick with it especially if I need support for back pain. I also am going to try the Kirkland Stearns & Foster mattress and the Casper to see which one I like the best. Unfortunately I won’t be able to cash in on the $400 off because it’s not the hybrid, it’s just the grid + foam mattress which most have said doesn’t have have as much support and it doesn’t seem to last as long.

r/LifeOnPurple on Reddit: Has anyone bought the new Purple mattress line up? What's your experience?
May 29, 2023 -

I'm looking to buy a new mattress and I've been hearing good things about the new line up from Purple. I'm wondering if anyone here has bought one and what their experience has been like so far.

Specifically, the old models I was interested in the Hybrid 3 or 4. I'm a side sleeper and I'm looking for a mattress that is comfortable and supportive, and I think that translates into the "soft" version of the Restore lineup, or a medium Rejuvinate.

They've only been out for a few weeks, but if you have any experience with the new Purple mattresses, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

r/Mattress on Reddit: Avoid Purple if you expect your $4K mattress to last more than 20 months
February 25, 2025 -

I bought the Purple Hybrid 4 in 2022 for around $4,000. At first, it was amazing. But fast forward less than two years, and the side I sleep on has a huge sag, and the edge support is shot. It got so bad that I was literally sliding off the bed in my sleep.

Filed a warranty claim. They asked for photos, including the law tag, which is hidden inside the zippered cover. So I followed their instructions, unzipped it, took all the required photos, and submitted them.

Their response? Denied. They claimed removing the cover “voided the warranty” and accused me of damaging the fireproof liner—despite the fact that the liner is intact and the damage is clearly from their mattress breaking down.

This is classic warranty loophole BS. I followed every step they gave me, documented everything, and they still denied it. For a $4K mattress, this is unacceptable. If you’re thinking about Purple, understand that the warranty is basically a trap. Once your mattress starts to fail—and it will—they’ll do whatever they can to pin it on you.

Wish I’d gone with something more durable and from a company that actually honors its guarantees.

Update: After a lot of back and forth, Purple ended up honoring the warranty and is sending a replacement mattress. I had to push pretty hard, provide photos showing the tag sewn within the zippered cover, and escalate through the BBB, but they eventually did the right thing.

I still stand by my original concerns. Their warranty communication is vague, especially around what “not removing the cover” actually means when the law tag is literally sewn inside a zippered layer. That ambiguity led to the denial, and it took more effort than it should have to get it corrected.

If you’re in a similar situation, be persistent. Document everything. Ask for a supervisor. File a BBB complaint if you need to. I’m glad it’s resolved, but it should not take this much pressure to get a company to honor a 10-year warranty on a $4,000 mattress.

Looking for a new mattress. Went to mattress firm and tried all their hybrids (my preferred, as I don't like the traditional kind and I don't like full memory foam). I laid on the newer purple restore and my back pain was instantly gone. I was just about sold until I started reading people's experiences. I really don't ant to go through the hassle of replacing a mattress that's going to sink in. So I laid on the tempurpedic pro adapt in medium (too expensive, and the one I liked was slightly too soft) and the sealy posturepedic plus in firm (the lady said I wasn't aligned, so slightly too soft). I didn't mind either of these, but neither felt as good as the purple.

So I'm wondering, has anyone had a good experience with them? Or if not, are there any mattresses that have a similar feeling? I'm getting overwhelmed with options.

The simple truth is you can find numerous other mattresses with better performance for far less money. In my view, the only compelling reason to go with the Renew is if you simply have to have and love the Purple grid material.

r/Mattress on Reddit: PurpleFlex vs Purple Renew Costco
January 3, 2025 -

Hi, there are many posts comparing the Purple Plus vs. the Costco Purple Renew. My main takeaway is that the Costco Renew is of a lower quality, using older foam tech.

But now, Purple has the PurpleFlex, and currently on sale at $999 matching the Costco Purple Renew price, also on sale at $999.

https://www.costco.com/purplerenew-11-gel-grid-mattress.product.4000181704.html

https://purple.com/mattresses/purple-flex

Does anyone familiar with the new Flex to know how these compare? I am returning my Costco Stern & Foster to trade for a new purple and both of these Purple options are contenders.

Thank you in advance!

August 8, 2019 - I got aproved for a warranty due to indentations on my original purple mattress from Jan 2020. I'm considering upgrading to the original purple plus for 600$ since it will restart my warranty window . I loved the original purple mattress when I first got it but I'm wondering how much softer the plus is - my wife is worried about changing the mattress in case it's too soft or we don't like it.

r/LifeOnPurple on Reddit: Replacing OG purple mattress from 2017
October 18, 2023 -

I have loved my og original purple mattress from 2017, it has survived several moves, being thrown down stairwells (on moving day when elevator was broken 😞) and some serious spills. I’ve done my best to take care of it but I fear some pet messes and a tipped beer or 2 may have finally gotten the best of my mattress. I might slice it open to attempt a deep clean, but I noticed purple is running a sale online and I think it’s time to replace it, I heard they last about ten years and honestly 6-7 is good enough for me at this point.

I chatted with a support rep and they said the model “purple mattress” is closest to the og original, which I love it has truly helped my back and made sleeping so much more comfortable for me. Is this correct, the og model is pretty much same as current regular “purple mattress” model?

The rep gave me a code to use and I can get the regular purple queen size for $800 and the $10 CA recycling fee or whatever else they tack on. That’s pretty good and I think I will buy.

Does anyone have a serious reason I should swing for the purple plus? I could do $400 more if it’s worth it but if I like the OG original so much I don’t see the need for the premiere premium $3000 models right now, maybe next time haha 😆

Are their pillows anything crazy to spring for also? I might get their mattress protector and some accessory type stuff too. Any insight would be appreciated thank you! I have an ikea slat bed frame that works great with it so I don’t need a base or anything extra they sell. Besides maybe a pillow or protector

r/productreview on Reddit: Is the Purple Mattress Actually Worth It in 2025?
March 29, 2025 -

I finally gave in and bought a Purple mattress last week after dealing with terrible sleep on my old coil mattress for way too long. I kept seeing ads for it and even saw people mention it in a random thread while scrolling free VPN Reddit looking for a new VPN. Figured it was a sign to at least try it out since they have the trial period.

The first night was honestly weird. The mattress feels super different compared to anything I’ve ever slept on. It’s squishy but supportive at the same time, kinda like sleeping on a big firm jelly sheet. Took me about two nights to stop overthinking it and actually relax. By the third night, I noticed I wasn’t waking up as stiff, especially in my lower back, which has been a huge problem for me.

It’s been a week now and I’m honestly impressed. It doesn’t get crazy hot like memory foam usually does, and I move around less at night because it just feels more comfortable in one spot. I’m still kinda in that early “is this too good to be true?” phase though.

Has anyone else been sleeping on a Purple mattress longer-term? Does it keep that comfy feeling or does it start to wear out after a few months? Curious what people think before I fully commit past the trial.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Purple Mattress ~4 months In
June 25, 2019 -

I bought a Purple 3 on July 2 2021. After a couple of weeks I knew it was too firm so I swapped it for a Purple 4. It’s now late October and I absolutely love my mattress. My experience has been different than what I expected.

At first it felt very firm and my shoulders and especially upper arms were sore. I have a condition called Lipedema which is a rare fat disorder where rogue fat cells, usually in the lower body and upper arms, absorb lymph fluid and don’t release it causing swelling and lumpiness. It can be painful and is one of the reasons I need a very soft bed. For the first month or two I was waking up with very sore upper arms and thought the mattress was not going to work out. But then one day I looked in the mirror and realized my arms were much less swollen. I weighed myself and found that I had lost over 5 pounds, apparently all from my upper arms (my lipedema is primarily in my arms). As the swelling was reduced the pain went away and now I no longer wake with any pain in my arms or shoulders. I’ve continued to lose weight, down 11 pounds this morning and my arms are actually proportionate now. My best guess is that the Purple grid is acting like a lymphatic massage all night, helping my body to release the trapped lymphatic fluid. I never would have guessed that a mattress would help with this and I am so glad I wandered into the Purple store that day.

Now that I’ve had my Purple for a few months I am sleeping very well. I wake up rested in a way that I haven’t for many years. I’m sleeping less but feeling more rejuvenated. The adjustment period for this mattress was kind of long but now that I am used to it I am absolutely in love.

I had heard about stretchy sheets being important with this mattress so I started with the Purple sheets and mattress protector. The sheets are nice and work well with the mattress. The mattress protector definitely makes the mattress firmer, I don’t love it and now that the trial period is over have abandoned it.

For those seeking less expensive alternatives to the Purple sheets, the Mrs. Awesome brand stretch sheets on Amazon are good for around $20. In winter I like the Cozy Fleece velvet plush sheets which have plenty of stretch. If it’s really cold Sherpa Sheets original version is stretchy and warm. I’m using it as a mattress protector to add warmth under another sheet now that the weather has turned cold.

I really wanted to try linen sheets but was worried about the lack of stretch. I decided to try a set and was delighted to find that as long as the pocket is deep enough they work very well. They need to be loose enough to allow for the movement and flexibility of the grid. If they are too tight they will have a hammock like effect so you don’t feel the grid and suddenly it’s a super firm rock hard mattress. This is the problem with the Purple mattress protector, it firms up the mattress too much even though it is somewhat stretchy.

Overall, I’m very happy with my Purple 4 and recommend giving it a try if you are on the fence about it. Clearly it’s not for everyone, some people seem to hate it, so you’ll have to see for yourself. Trying it in the store is a good idea if possible but only a prolonged trial will really help you know if it’s right for you.

r/Mattress on Reddit: New purple, do you still love it?
November 4, 2025 -

So I was doing lots of research, and thought I would get latex mattress. I loved my latex pillows but needed to try laying on one.

Well at the store they had AVOCADO and I liked it a lot, I know its hybrid, but just to get the idea of what the foam would feel like.

I tried laying on many many mattress, of all kinds to see what I liked.

Then I tried purple.

I loved it. The hybrid especially. My partner just wanted me to be happy lol, but he is a side sleeper and preferred the original.

So now we are 5 nights on this thing and enjoy it more every night.

Reading reviews after the fact are freaking me the F out. And making me fear I should exchange it when I hit the 30-120 day window.

So many negative reviews here on reddit speaking to the horrendous durability. Although elsewhere on the internet are overwhelmingly positive

So idk anyone have the standard Purple mattress of a recent generation and actually still love it after some time? Or should I exchange this big investment for a seemingly more durable avocado when I get the chance?
