Buy Purple
The Purple Plus Mattress is an entry-level option from Purple, designed for side sleepers. It features the GelFlex Grid for a unique gel-like feel and excellent temperature regulation. Priced at $1,899 for a queen size, it is softer than the Original Purple due to an additional comfort foam layer. The mattress is medium-soft, offering pressure relief for hips and shoulders but may not suit back sleepers or those preferring a firmer mattress. It has improved edge support, good motion isolation, and maintains a neutral temperature. The mattress comes with a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty. It is ideal for side sleepers and those who prefer a softer mattress but may not be suitable for back sleepers or those on a tight budget.
