Purple Original Mattress
The most unique mattress — Purple's GelFlex Grid delivers a bouncy, temperature-neutral feel unlike anything else.
Our Review
The Purple Original Mattress uses a proprietary GelFlex Grid — a hyper-elastic polymer grid that flexes under pressure points (shoulders, hips) while staying firm under your back. The result is a unique feel that's neither memory foam nor innerspring — it's bouncy, supportive, and naturally temperature-neutral because air flows through the grid's open cells. If you've tried foam and springs and loved neither, Purple's grid technology might be your answer.
