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/Mattress on Reddit: Has anyone had a positive purple experience?
January 29, 2024 -

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.

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!

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/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!

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.

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/Mattress on Reddit: Purple Mattress RestorePlus - an honest review
February 29, 2024 -

Here is an honest review of the Purple Mattress RestorePlus King firm mattress and foundation.

I purchased the mattress and foundation set a week ago. List price was $4294.

The installers came on Thursday to install the mattress. However, due to a screwup in Purple's system, they didn't have the foundation, and they told me to call Purple to get it delivered.

Having no foundation to install it on, the installers just put the mattress on the floor.

Well, I did call Purple. No one at Purple knows why they screwed up the order, and no one at Purple knows when the foundation will actually be delivered.

That was four days ago, and I've been sleeping on a Purple mattress on the floor ever since.

So what is the mattress like? Well, the little bumps on the mattress are unusual, but the mattress provides firm support and reduces back pain.

However, I must deduct a few points for forcing me to sleep on the floor like a cocker spaniel.

Normally I would expect to pay less than $4294 to sleep on the floor like a cocker spaniel, but Purple at least gives me the comfort of knowing that I am enjoying the latest in sleep technology, while I am sleeping on the floor like a cocker spaniel.

If you have $4294 to burn, and you want a firm mattress with little bumps on it, and you don't mind sleeping on the floor like a cocker spaniel, I can highly recommend Purple.

Otherwise, I cannot recommend that you purchase a Purple mattress. You will be sleeping on the floor like a cocker spaniel, for an indefinite period of time, if you purchase a Purple mattress.

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/LifeOnPurple on Reddit: Purple Restore Premier Mattress Firm's Proprietary Cool Touch Version
February 26, 2024 -

Just wanted to share some thoughts on this mattress if anyone was interested.

My journey with purple has been interesting. Started with a Hybrid 3", and it was too firm for mine and my wife's liking. We went to the 4" and loved it. Had a warranty issue, stayed with the 4". Had another warranty issue, and now Purple no longer makes the 4".

Their recommendation was the Restore Premier *soft*. When I'm telling you my butt hit something because I sank so deep, I'm not joking. We all know these new versions are using more memory foam than before, but the soft is waaaaayy softer than the previous 4". Way too much memory foam feel (i.e. stuck and can't roll over) not enough grid bounciness.

We liked the Restore Plus *soft*. More bounce, less foam. The Restore Premier *firm* was too firm. We decided to give Mattress Firm's version a try. They say that theirs is a true medium, in between Purples Restore Premier Firm and Soft. I fell in LOVE. It's the most comfortable mattress I've been on. It does have a more foam feel than before, but the grid is still present, and I don't get stuck.

Having said that, there is definitely going to be a transition period. I woke up this morning slightly sore. My wife says it's more firm for her than our 4", which I'm concerned about for her. She's lighter, so she doesn't sink as much as I do.

Anyways, if anyone's interested, I can update this post in a few weeks to give an update after the breaking in period.

UPDATE: Alright, so I've definitely gotten this bed broken in by now and I can say that I really love it. It is very different than our last Purple in that the total feeling of laying on a grid is gone, but that's not bad, just different than it was. As I supected, the bed did cushion up with time and is now very soft and plush feeling. Purple still gives the best overall bed feel as not being being on top of nor inside of the bed. Just the right amount of sink, without all the stuck. Only major concern I have is longevity and whether or not the new memory foam additions will break down. There is already and obvious difference between where I sleep, my wife sleeps, and the middle of the bed. Kind of created a body groove already. Fingers crossed it's just a breaking in groove and doesn't get worse quick. All in all, I recommend it if you're looking for firm plush feel that's less grid forward. If you're not a memory foam fan (and I'm not but some people really hate it) but still want more give, then I would get the Resort Plus in Soft.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Long Term Mattress Owner Review of Original Purple Mattress
May 3, 2021 -

I (was) a 2 year owner of a Purple Mattress. For the pain staking 2 years I have owned the mattress I have rarely found a solid/good position I could fall asleep fast to. When I first bought the mattress I found that the best position to sleep in was on my side, however the "feel" of the mattress is a little TOO FIRM to my individual body. I am a combination side/stomach sleeper. I'll usually start out on my side, then end up on my stomach eventually, or if I get into a comfortable enough position I'll stay asleep on my side. It all depends on how restless I am. I don't understand how people are rating this mattress a 6.5 on the firmness scale. It is a terrible mattress for stomach sleepers. The padding on the mattress top needs to be soft with SOME give to properly cradle your head as a stomach sleeper. The upper portion of this mattress is WAY too stiff. Overall the firmness may be a 6.5 out of 10, but it "feels" like a 3.5-4/10 to me.

Now onto the reason why I am giving this mattress a 1 out of 10. DURABILITY. In just over 2 short years, the underlying foam material (below the purple grid) has created a permanent body impression. This has resulted in unbelievable neck and back pain that I have been suffering with for the past month. This past week I finally hit my breaking point and ordered a different, more traditional innerspring mattress with a soft euro pillow top that cradles my head when sleeping on my stomach.

These body impressions normally will not form until AFTER your sleep trial is over. The permanent body impression in my purple mattress did not start forming until about a year and a half later.

Another flaw in the purchasing of this mattress is that Purple recommends you rotate the mattress to avoid these same said body impressions. The flaw is...the mattress weighs 100 lbs! Very few people are going to want to rotate their 120lbs mattress every 90 days or so to prevent the impressions from forming.

Durability is a huge flaw with this mattress. The foam is prone to degradation over time and this is something you will not find out from a 100 day sleep trial. As a real long term owner of a Purple mattress I would highly advise you look elsewhere as this mattress CANNOT be trusted for durability. I am aware of the replacement warranty of the mattress itself, but I don't want to go through another cycle of endless neck pain when the replacement mattress breaks down in 2 years from now. Unless you want a big giant bowl of back pain, served with a side crinkled neck, be my guest!

The bottom line is this mattress is just a basic foam mattress that breaks down in a very short time period, with creative marketing thrown in to sell it. Its ALL about the marketing. Though the funny thing is I didn't buy it BECAUSE of the marketing, but rather my own research and wanting to try something different so go figure.
