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.

r/Mattress on Reddit: PurpleFlex vs Purple Renew Costco
December 28, 2024 -

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.

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/LifeOnPurple on Reddit: Replacing OG purple mattress from 2017
October 12, 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

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!

Hello, everyone ! I am looking to buy a good mattress and some real good quality pillows since my partner and I have had some of the worst sleepless nights due to our Walmart mattress and pillows haha. I really want to get a mattress that is for side and stomach sleepers and that help me sleep ! Has anyone had experience with Purple? I am thinking of going with the cheaper route as well with a Costco mattress so if you have a Costco mattress that you’ve enjoyed for side sleepers let me know . 🤗❤️

r/Mattress on Reddit: Long Term Mattress Owner Review of Original Purple Mattress
April 27, 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.

r/LifeOnPurple on Reddit: Recent buyers, did your mattress come with the Mini-mattress gel Grid squishies?
February 11, 2024 -

Sounds pretty childish but I just received delivery of my king sized hybrid restore and didn’t get the mini bed made out of the gel grid, sort of bummed out about it and considering contacting CS to see if they can send me one(assuming they still do and mines just didn’t have it). But I noticed all the reviews/videos where it came with the mattress were all taken about 3 years ago. Is this still a thing purple does?
