Firmness info	The 3-inch Purple Grid™ layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed. Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid. Similarly, customers who weigh 250-pounds or more have expressed a common interest in The Purple Premier, as it offers a bit more support.	Achieve optimal support and spinal alignment with Recore's™ three-layer performance foam. Calibrated to suit side, back, and stomach sleepers, it provides a firmness level that promotes overall structural integrity and prevents excessive sinkage, ensuring you wake up ready for a successful day.

Comfort	The Purple Grid™ has thousands of open air channels that feel cool as you lie doown and neutralize your body heat throughout the night so you sleep comfortably all night long. Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material.	Next-generation cooling technology, designed specifically for active Canadian lifestyles. The channeled top layer of graphite latex foam works with the cooling gel layer below, acting as a thermal superhighway. Excess heat is transported quickly away from your body towards open-air channels where heat and body moisture can escape. Sleep better by sleeping long. Recore's™ motion isolating comfort layer increases the number of uninterrupted sleep cycles you experience overnight, giving you as much restorative rest as possible. Not only does it reduce motion ripples across the bed surface, it's also designed to cushion, contour, and relieve pressure around your joints and muscles. Graphite-Infused Latex Foam. Heat-regulating graphite latex helps you keep a cooler core temperature necessary for deep sleep by channeling thermal energy away from your body. Breathable Gel Foam. Millions of shock-absorbing air cushions dissipate body heat away from the bed and circulate fresh air around the central layer of the Recore™ mattress. New air channels are created with every little movement throughout the night thanks to next-generation Vortex™ gel foam found only in this performance mattress.
Support	The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move. The Purple Grid™ is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body.A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support. Responsive Support Coils. Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Grid™ to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric. The Purple Grid™ is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.	Supporting you and your body at night helps you achieve greater results during the day. Recore's™ three layers of performance foam are calibrated to a firmness fit for side, back, and stomach sleepers. The support system is designed to provide overall structural integrity, while also encouraging proper spinal alignment by preventing excessive sinkage. The durable support foam gives the mattress its structural integrity while providing surface-wide support and precise pressure-point relief. Latex foam is best for both durable comfort and rapid-response contouring. It has a similar cushioning feel to memory foam and the spring-like resilience of innerspring. Recore™ is carefully calibrated to provide full musculoskeletal relief for better body recovery.
