Firmness Info

2-inch Purple® grid layer is ideal for back sleepers and those who prefer a slightly firmer feel to their mattress.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and moderately firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable! We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Cover
StretchMax Top with ultra-breathable side panels : 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). 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 plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only. Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
The Smart Comfort Grid is crafted from high-quality Hyper-Elastic Polymer that's made proudly in the U.S.A. This ultra-durable, non-toxic material never breaks down, so you stay nice and comfy now and forevermore. Temperature-neutral so you sleep cool. Purple® Smart Comfort Grid™ Personalized comfort and support that adapts to your unique body type and sleep position. Allows for plenty of temperature-neutralizing air movement under and around you for consistently cool comfort all night.
Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress. Heat Wicking Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body. Breathable With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress. No More Quicksand Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply. Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.
Support
The most scientifically advanced mattress in the world. Designed to intelligently adapt to your body's unique pressure points for superior, personalized comfort. Responsive support coils enhance the body-alignment properties of the Smart Comfort Grid™ and minimize motion transfer. It is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so your shoulders and hips are properly cradled and supported. No pressure all night. No pain come morning.
Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot. Supportive Base Layer Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress. Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.
