Firmness

Material & Construction

  • Layer 1: The top layer is made of 4” of Purple Grid polymer (known as Purple 3 and Purple 4 respectively) providing the mattress the required support, softness, and pressure relief
  • Layer 2: A 0.5” thin layer of polyurethane foam provides a transitional support while keeping the layers below in place.
  • Layer 3:  7.5” responsive support coils support the spine and adapt independently to minimize partner disturbance and noise while moving.
  • Layer 4: The 1” bottom layer of polyurethane foam provides the required base, support and serves as the foundation of the mattress

Cooling & Temperature Control

(/5)

The Purple 4 are more on soft firmness scale when compared to the previous models with Purple 4 being the softest of them all. The Premier version represents a perfect blend of both sink and float, aiming to provide proper needed cradling and support to the body.  The top layer of gel is responsible for the surface bounce while the pocketed coils are responsible for the deeper bounce. The biggest difference between the Original and the Premier models is that the later uses pocketed coils rather than the memory foam, making the mattress bouncier. The Purple Premier provides decent pressure relief with the needed support and response, but may not be ideal for small sized sleepers whose main concern is this. Compared to the Original Purple, the Premier provides greater airflow and temperature regulation due to the presence of the pocketed coils that promote greater airflow when compared to the support memory foams.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

The Purple Premier Mattress provides decent motion isolation and can be decent choice for couples who don’t way to get disturbed by their partners moving in and out of the mattress. However, if your partner moves around a lot then you may a feel noises or vibrations.

Edge Support

(/5)

Edge support is an important consideration for couples, as poor performance here limits both sleeping and sex to closer to the center of the bed, rather than its perimeter. Getting in and out of bed may also disturb your partner, since the bed may bend when sitting on the edge. The Purple 3 and Purple 4 provide excellent edge support. This is mainly because surrounding the perimeter of the mattress is a 3” wide dense foam side rails resulting in a very good overall edge support.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

  • Side Sleepers: The Premier model is excellent for side sleepers. In fact, purple strictly recommends the Purple 4 mattress to the side sleepers due to the 4” of hyper elastic polymer structure providing the required cradling to your hips and shoulders resulting in excellent spinal alignment and pressure relief.
  • Back Sleepers: People who sleep on their back tend to require more support — particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers also require less pressure relief, as the position causes fewer pressure points than other sleep styles. Back Sleepers may feel comfortable and supported in the Purple 3 and 4 models, but may not be able to enjoy the full advantage or benefits of the 3”/ 4” Purple Grid polymer, which are the main USP’s of these model
  • Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support is particularly important for “stomach sleepers” so as not to cause back or hip pain. The mattresses provide more than enough support on the areas under the neck and trunk for stomach sleepers. However, the Hybrid model is more suitable for such sleepers
