Unique points	The Purple Premier 4 is made with ultra-high-quality materials engineered for the perfect synergy of durability, luxury, and No Pressure Support: 4" Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Purple Grid™. Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating 1" High-density cushioning foam help the transition between layers for optimal comfort 7.5" Responsive Support Coils. The gauge of the coils are 13.75 and use 95% recycled steel. The key difference between the Hybrid, Premier 3 and Premier 4 is the depth of the Purple Grid™ layer - either 2, 3 or 4 inches. This changes the overall firmness and feel. The Purple Premier™ 4 is perfect for sleepers who crave even more of that dreamy "floating" effect.	Our "Tiny Mattress" technology is the most significant mattress invention in the last 100 years. There is no other mattress on the market that compares to our one-of-a-kind technology and it's GREENGUARD Gold Certified. We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.

Firmness info	The 4-inch Purple Grid™ layer is ideal for any sleep position - especially side sleepers. Perfect for sleepers with a soft mattress-feel preference. This is the softest of the Purple mattresses. 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.	Medium Plush Firmness The 700 Tiny Mattresses independently respond to each sleepers' personal weight and size. When you initially sit on the mattress, it feels very plush because all of your weight is concentrated on a few tiny mattresses. As you lie down, your weight is evenly distributed across all the tiny mattresses for a firmer and more supportive feel. The ingenuity of the "tiny mattresses" provide the back support of a firm mattress with plush comfort for a very luxurious feel.

Construction & materials

	Purple Premier 4	SleepOvation
Layers	Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Puple Grid™. Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating, High-density cushioning foam help the transition between layers for optimal comfort, Responsive Support Coils.	We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.
Cover	StretchMax Cover. Boasting even more stretch, the soft top material allows you to feel the full benefits of the Purple Grid™, while ultra-breathable woven side panels encourage airflow.	Our stretch knit polyester and elastane cover is designed to complement the "tiny mattresses" ability to adjust to personal weight and size. More specifically, we've integrated a quilted, internal (FR) mattress pad that offers a more plush level of comfort. This zip-off removable and washable cover allows access to independently sealed cushions and unmatched cleanliness (vacuum in-between each air channel so you can eliminate dust, bacteria, and allergens).
Machine-washable cover	No	Yes
Ergonomic handles	No	No
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.	The cover's miniature cushion pads provide an added level of comfort and the engineered air channels promote airflow, to maximize the "tiny mattress" technology. Cooling Air Channels. Our individually sealed cushions create air channels with cool and steady airflow management. Contrary to hot and sweaty sheet foam mattresses, you'll sleep undisturbed and awake refreshed the next day.
Support	When it comes to our signature Purple Grid™, the thicker the gel grid, the less pressure you'll feel. 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.	700 "Tiny Mattresses" For Absolute Spine Support. Our independent suspension evenly distributes body weight to alleviate stress on the natural curves of the spine. In addition to relieving back pain, this provides absolute comfort for your preferred sleeping position. Individual Vertebrae Support. The individual suspension system supports each bone (33) in the human spinal column separately. It cradles the body's curves while providing enough firmness for the back's muscular and bony structures. Plus it's Chiropractor Endorsed!
