Cover	Our new covers now have a hexagon pattern. Not only did we make the new mattress cover double-sided, so you no longer have to remove the cover to flip it, but we've made it in a way that clearly distinguishes which side is soft, and which side is firm by labeling each side and making them two completely different colors. This makes it much easier for the customer to know which side they're sleeping on, and also saves time in the flipping process. In addition, we are the first mattress company in the world to implement a proprietary "softening" process to our fabric which you'll be able to feel makes our covers much softer than any of our competitor's.	NEW SoftFlex Wave Knit : 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). A custom, super-soft knit with tons of stretch so it can flex with both your movement and the Grid's. Its breathable material is also the perfect complement to the Grid's 1,800+ air channels.

Comfort	Sleep Cooler With Copper Ever notice that copper pipes are always ice cold? We've discovered that copper is the preferred material for most cooling systems because it doesn't hold onto the heat around it. This combined with our open cell memory foam results in your mattress never getting hot. Copper-Infused Memory Foam High density copper infused memory foam provides maximum comfort and cooling.	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	Joint Pain Relief The use of copper reduces joint inflammation and helps ease joint pain and stiffness. This is especially helpful for people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. We want our customers to be able to move around with as much freedom as possible. Better Blood Circulation People wear copper bracelets to improve their body's blood circulation. Since copper emits a number of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, we thought that there would be no better way to improve your sleep than through improving your blood flow. 2.0 ILD Poly Base foam to provide overall support for the mattress in both comfort configurations.	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.

FAQs

Layla Memory Foam

Is Layla mattress good for hot sleepers?

Yes, the Layla Hybrid mattress is ideal for hot sleepers due to its combination of foam layers and coil support that promote airflow.

Is Layla a good mattress?

The Layla mattress is an excellent choice for those who prefer the slow-moving memory foam feel and the flexibility of having two firmness levels in one mattress. However, it might not be the best choice for larger stomach sleepers or those who do not prefer the memory foam feel.

The Layla mattress is flippable with two levels of firmness. The black side is the firm side, while the white side is the soft side.

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.

What body type is best for Purple mattress?

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.
