Comfort	The PerformaSleep mattress was specifically designed for people with an active lifestyle that need to recover fast. The CopperCool Technology infused into the top layer of the mattress help dissipate excess body heat, give a variable support, and eliminate any moisture. Athletes tend to be denser, therefore they need more support. They also tend to be hot-natured, and need a cooler mattress. In the PerformaSleep mattress, we give our athletes just that. The unique construction and technology of the mattress allows you to sleep cooler and better by elevating any pressure points in the mattress. This in return gives you a better night's sleep which in result will allow you to do better in your everyday activities. The CopperCool technology in the mattress wicks away excess body heat allowing you to sleep cooler throughout the night. When you are laying on your mattress your body will naturally compress the foam and in result the copper and gel particles infused throughout the top layer of the mattress start to coalesce together allowing for the heat to travel away from the body, from particle to particle. Our foam components also have higher airflows than most mattresses on the market today allowing for better heat dissipation.	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	The PerformaSleep Enersorb material also gives you that bounce you need to help you move freely throughout the bed and not feel like you are stuck in a hole as with traditional memory foam mattresses. The Enersorb material gives you the same comfort, conformity, and pressure relief as memory foam but without the slow recovery. This is what gives you that bounce and allows you to move freely throughout the bed. Our Enersorb material is also more breathable than memory foam or latex allowing for better heat dissipation.	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

PerformaSleep

Can I remove the mattress cover to wash it? Any special instructions for laundering?

Yes, the mattress cover can be removed and washed. It should be washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and ideally, air-dried. If using a dryer, the lowest heat setting should be used.

What is the composition of the PerformaSleep mattress?

The PerformaSleep™ mattress is composed of Polyurethane foams. All the foams used in the mattress are CertiPUR-US certified, which means they are free from harmful substances like ozone depleters, formaldehyde, lead, and other heavy metals, and have low VOC emissions.

Does the mattress have an odor?

The foams used in the PerformaSleep™ mattress are manufactured with a unique formulation that makes them odorless.

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.
