Ever felt like Goldilocks trying to find the perfect mattress? Our latex bounces back into shape quickly to help provide comfort, support, and stability. It's not too soft or too hard, it's just right.	Ventilation is the key to sleeping just right - not too hot, and not too cold. Purple achieves the ultimate sleep comfortability by combining a totally new material with a totally unique design. Purple remains temperature-neutral so you don't sleep hot and sweaty at night Purple's column design allows air to flow freely, preventing moisture trapping, extending the life of the mattress, and providing cleaner, more comfortable sleep. Thanks to the free air flow design and patented polymer materials, Purple naturally sleeps much cooler than memory foam, latex, and other mattress technology.
Support	We use premium, GOLS-Certified organic Dunlop latex, which helps provide perfect contour and support for the natural curves of the body. With a layer of GOLS-Certified organic Dunlop latex and premium wrapped innerspring coils, the Awara mattress perfectly contours to your body's unique curves regardless of what position you sleep in.	A revolutionary mattress designed for just about everyone. It's designed to not only help you get better sleep, but to soothe joints, release pressure on the hips and shoulders, and support the neck and back. It's designed to make bedtime the highlight of your day! The Hyper-Elastic Polymer Purple is a pressure-releasing material. 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.

Purple

Why do people like Purple mattresses?

The Purple mattress is favored for its ease of movement compared to many memory foam mattresses. The Purple Grid is both conforming and responsive, allowing for more movement than highly conforming memory foam.

Do Purple mattresses need special sheets?

Regular sheets can be used with a Purple bed, but they must be of the right type. The best sheet materials for a Purple mattress are bamboo viscose and cotton, provided they promote breathability and have the ability to stretch.

The Purple mattress is an excellent choice for back and stomach sleepers. However, for heavier back or stomach sleepers, the Original Purple bed may not be the best option.
