The honest verdict: the Purple Plus is the bed for people whose shoulders and hips wake them up in the night. The surface is the GelFlex Grid, a 2-inch layer of gel-polymer columns that stay firm under your back but buckle under the concentrated weight of a shoulder or hip, so you get support and pressure relief at the same time, the thing coils and foam each only do half of. The "Plus" is the original Purple Mattress with two real upgrades: a breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer under the grid and a doubled base, for a more cushioned float and a steadier feel. At a true medium, 5 out of 10, it is the most universal Purple and the easiest bed to put a grid-curious sleeper on.
The layers, top to bottom, and what each one does
- 2-inch GelFlex Grid with Edge Support Foam. Gel-polymer walls flex only where you press, under the shoulder and hip, while holding firm under your back. The same layer relieves pressure points and supports your spine, and the reinforced edge keeps the perimeter from caving when you sit to put on your shoes.
- Ultra Comfort Foam (the first half of the "Plus"). A breathable cushion layer the base Purple does not have, for a softer landing while the grid does the pressure work.
- Double Durable Base Foam (the second half of the "Plus"). Two layers of base foam instead of one, so the whole 11-inch system sits steadier and holds its shape longer.
- Open, not solid. Air moves through the grid's channels and carries heat away, so the surface sleeps cooler than solid memory foam.
- Clean-certified Hyper-Elastic Polymer. The grid is CertiPUR-US and CleanAir GOLD certified, nontoxic and hypoallergenic, the same material Purple has built and patented for decades.
What the grid actually feels like the first few minutes
The grid meets you all at once instead of slowly swallowing you. Your back stays level while your shoulder and hip settle into the spots where the walls give way, so your lower back does not collapse into a hole the way it can on soft foam. It reads as buoyant and floating rather than soft or hard, because it adapts to where you press instead of committing to one number. Rest a hand flat on the grid and feel the walls buckle under your fingers, then lie down for ten real minutes in the position you actually sleep in. That hand test is the fastest way to understand why this bed is unlike anything else on the floor.
Who it suits, and who it honestly does not
The Plus is built for side and combination sleepers who run warm, and Purple itself calls it a strong pick for couples. The grid flexes for the shoulder and hip while supporting everything else, the open channels make it one of the coolest surfaces in the store, and because the columns respond point by point, a restless partner's movement stays on their side instead of rolling across the bed. Where it is genuinely not your bed:
- You want classic innerspring bounce. The grid is a buoyant float, not a springy push. Some sleepers love it on contact, others need a few nights. If you want coils, say so and the Mattress Overstock team will walk you to a hybrid.
- You want the deep memory-foam hug. The grid holds you up rather than enveloping you. It is the opposite of sinking in.
- You want a firmer, taller grid hybrid. The Restore Firm Hybrid and softer Restore Soft Hybrid put the grid over pocketed coils for a more supportive build.

Why the original Purple feels different
GelFlex Grid with Edge Support Foam
A 2-inch top layer of gel-polymer columns that flex under your shoulder and hip while staying firm under your back, with a reinforced edge so the perimeter holds when you sit.
Ultra Comfort Foam, the first “Plus” upgrade
A breathable cushion layer the original Purple does not have, for a softer landing while the grid does the pressure-relief work.
Double base foam for a steadier feel
Two layers of Durable Base Foam instead of one, so the full 11-inch build sits stable and holds its shape over time.
Sleeps cool by design
The grid is open, not solid, so air moves through the channels and carries heat away. It is one of the coolest-sleeping surfaces in the store.
A true medium that fits most people
Rated 5 out of 10, supportive and floating rather than soft or hard, which is why Purple names it a strong pick for combination sleepers and couples.
Quiets a restless partner
The columns respond point by point, so movement stays localized instead of rolling across the bed and waking you.
Clean-certified, patented polymer
Hyper-Elastic Polymer that is CertiPUR-US and CleanAir GOLD certified, nontoxic and hypoallergenic, the grid material Purple has built and patented for decades.
100-day comfort guarantee
Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, free local Kentucky delivery and setup, and old-mattress haul-away.
Not coils, not foam: a grid that flexes only where you press
The Purple Plus leads with the GelFlex Grid: a 2-inch top layer of gel-polymer walls arranged in a grid, reinforced at the perimeter with Edge Support Foam. Under broad, even weight (your back) the walls hold firm and support you. Under concentrated weight (a shoulder or hip) the walls buckle and let that point sink in. That is how one surface relieves pressure points and supports your spine at once, where foam sinks everywhere and coils push back everywhere. The grid is made from Hyper-Elastic Polymer, a clean, temperature-neutral material Purple has patented over decades, and because it is open rather than solid, air moves through the channels and carries heat away.
Two layers turn the original Purple into the Plus. First, a breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer sits under the grid for a softer landing. Second, the base is doubled: two layers of Durable Base Foam instead of one, for more support and a steadier feel. The full system stands 11 inches tall.
Want the grid on a taller, coil-supported hybrid? The Purple Restore line adds pocketed coils under the grid, in soft and firm options. See the whole range, plus the original Purple Mattress, in the full Purple lineup.
Shop the full Purple lineup →Built for pressure-point sleepers who run warm
Side sleepers with shoulder or hip pain. The grid flexes exactly where you press and supports the rest, so the joint sinks in without your spine bowing. Esquire named the Plus a best mattress for side sleepers.
Combination sleepers. Because the surface adapts position by position instead of locking into one feel, rolling from side to back to side stays easy all night. Purple builds the Plus for exactly this sleeper.
Hot sleepers. The open grid is one of the coolest surfaces in the store. Heat moves out through the channels instead of building up under you the way it does on solid memory foam.
Couples with different bodies. The columns respond to each body's weight independently, so a heavier and a lighter partner each get the right give, and one person's movement does not travel across the bed.
People who want a medium that just works. At 5 out of 10 it is the most universal Purple, the easy starting point if you are curious about the grid but unsure where to begin. People magazine called it a best medium-support mattress.
Probably not for you if you want classic innerspring bounce or a deep memory-foam hug. The grid's buoyant float is its own thing. For the grid over coils, step up to the Restore Firm Hybrid; for a softer foam feel and a lower entry, look at the original Purple Mattress.

Frequently asked questions
What is the GelFlex Grid?
It is Purple's signature surface: a layer of gel-polymer walls in a grid pattern that flex under concentrated pressure (shoulders, hips) and stay firm under broad weight (your back). It relieves pressure points and supports your spine at the same time, which is why it feels unlike coils or foam. The material, Hyper-Elastic Polymer, is clean-certified and has been patented by Purple over decades. Rest a hand on the grid in the showroom and you will feel the walls buckle.
How is the Purple Plus different from the original Purple Mattress?
Both lead with the same 2-inch GelFlex Grid. The Plus adds two things the original Purple does not have: a breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer under the grid for a softer landing, and a doubled base (two layers of Durable Base Foam instead of one) for more support and a steadier feel. The Plus stands 11 inches tall versus the original's lower profile. If you want a cushier, more substantial build, choose the Plus; if you want the leanest, most affordable way into the grid, start with the original.
How firm is the Purple Plus?
A true medium, about 5 out of 10. But firmness works differently on the grid: it feels supportive and floating rather than soft or hard, because it adapts to where you press. Purple positions it for combination sleepers and couples, and most sleepers find it broadly comfortable. The feel is genuinely worth testing in person before you decide.
Does it sleep hot?
It is built not to. The GelFlex Grid is open, with channels running through it, so air moves and carries heat away, and the polymer itself is temperature-neutral rather than heat-trapping. It is one of the cooler surfaces in the store and a real advantage over solid memory foam. No mattress is air-conditioning, but the open grid is genuine, testable engineering.
Is the Purple Plus good for couples?
Yes, and Purple builds it with couples in mind. The grid's columns respond to each body's weight independently, so a heavier and a lighter partner each get the right give, and motion stays localized: when one of you shifts or gets up, the other side stays still. The cooler-sleeping surface helps too if one of you runs warm.
Is the grid material safe and non-toxic?
Yes. The Hyper-Elastic Polymer is CertiPUR-US and CleanAir GOLD certified, nontoxic and hypoallergenic, and made from food-grade, recyclable material. Purple's foams carry the same certifications. There is no strong off-gassing; at most a faint new-mattress scent at first that fades quickly.
How is it different from a Purple Restore?
The Purple Plus puts the grid over comfort and base foam, 11 inches, an all-foam build. The Restore line puts the grid over pocketed coils for a taller, more supportive hybrid, in soft and firm options. If you want more support and height, step up to Restore; the Plus is the more accessible all-foam grid bed.
What warranty and trial does it come with?
The Purple Plus carries a 10-year limited warranty. At Mattress Overstock you also get a 100-day comfort guarantee: if the feel is not right, you exchange it for store credit toward any bed of equal or greater value (no cash refund, and no restocking-fee games). The grid in particular is worth giving a few weeks, since some sleepers love it on night one and others adjust to the float.
How do delivery and haul-away work?
Mattress Overstock delivers across Kentucky with its own team, usually next business day when your size is in stock, sets up the new bed, and hauls your old mattress away, all free in the local service area. No third-party freight company, no mattress left in a box on the porch.
Can I see and try the Purple Plus in person near me?
Yes, and with the grid you really should, because nothing else feels like it. Mattress Overstock is a Kentucky-owned company that has served the state since 2012, with five showrooms you can visit: Lexington (on Nicholasville Road), Georgetown, Somerset, London, and Richmond.
