Comfort	The Nuvanna mattress is a multi-layer foam system designed to provide fantastic sleep for a healthy, balanced life. We believe that body wellness and tranquility begins with an exceptional night's sleep, and we design our mattresses to provide your mind and body with the rest you need to enjoy the highest quality of life imaginable. Our top layer is filled with innovative, phase-change gel particles that disperse heat to keep you at the ideal sleeping temperature. It's soft, provides comfort and minimizes pressure points. Our middle layer isolates sleep movements so that you feel continuous support and comfort without feeling every move your partner makes. It's our transition layer of viscoelastic foam so that you don't wake up.	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	Our mattresses are made out of three distinct layers designed to perform different functions but together offer a supremely comfortable and supportive sleeping surface. Our base layer eliminates the quicksand, sinking feeling that plagues other foam mattresses. Because it supports the other two layers to keep your spinal cord aligned, you'll feel suspended and supported at every moment.	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

Nuvanna

How can a mattress help me live a balanced life?

A good quality mattress is key to a good night's sleep, which is essential for maintaining a balanced, healthy life. A poor-quality mattress can prevent relaxation, leading to poor sleep and carrying over the burdens of the previous day.

Do I need a special frame to use a Nuvanna mattress?

No, the Nuvanna mattress fits virtually all standard bed frames and box springs. No special equipment is needed.

Does the Nuvanna mattress sleep hot like other foam mattresses?

No, Nuvanna mattresses are designed with temperature management in mind. They contain a new ingredient that absorbs and dissipates heat at a higher rate than other foams, ensuring effective temperature management.

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.
