The Purple Hybrid Premier 4 mattress is a high-performance hybrid mattress that combines a unique Purple grid system with foam and pocketed coils. It excels in cooling, motion transfer, response time, and pressure relief, making it suitable for a wide range of sleepers, including those who are heavier or prefer different sleeping positions. The mattress has a medium-firm feel and features a breathable cover, enhancing airflow and comfort. It has a high bounce, good edge support for lying down, and strong initial off-gassing that dissipates within four days. The mattress is priced higher than many competitors but comes with a 100-night trial period and a 10-year warranty.
