We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.

Firmness info	One perfect bed, no more morning blues. Purple gives the best of both firm and soft with our pressure-erasing Smart Comfort Grid™. Wake up on the right side the World's First No Pressure™ mattress.	The SleepOvation mattress is meant to relieve back-pain and correct your sleeping posture, it does feel on the firmer side but not because the mattress itself is firm - but because it's correcting your spine. It's actually a very comfortable plush mattress, but someone who suffers from severe back pain, will feel the mattress to be much stiffer than someone with a healthy spine. It's difficult to compare our mattress to the traditional firmness standards of other mattresses simply because nothing like the 700 tiny mattresses exist.

Cover	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.

Our stretch knit polyester and elastane cover is designed to complement the "tiny mattresses" ability to adjust to personal weight and size.

Comfort	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.	The cover's miniature cushion pads provide an added level of comfort and the engineered air channels promote airflow, to maximize the "tiny mattress" technology. Cooling Air Channels Avoid the headaches of sleeping hot and sweaty on sheet foam or other advertised "cooling" technology that do little to prevent heat. Our air channels are designed to maintain cool temperatures for a refreshing night's sleep.
Support	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.	700 "Tiny Mattresses" For Absolute Spine Support Our independent suspension distributes body weight to relieve back pain, discomfort, and restlessness caused by sheet foam layers in other mattresses. Individual Vertebrae Support The individual suspension system supports each bone (33) in the human spinal column separately. It cradles the body's curves while providing enough firmness for the back's muscular and bony structures. Plus it's Chiropractor Endorsed!

FAQs

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.

SleepOvation

Can you flip the SleepOvation mattress?

No, the SleepOvation mattress is not designed to be flipped. It has a specific construction with coils for support and small squares of memory foam for comfort, which would not provide the right feel if turned over.

The SleepOvation mattress, featuring the company's unique cushion pocket system, is slightly more expensive than other mattresses. The price ranges from approximately $1,600 for a Twin size to $2,200 for a California King size.

How much weight can the mattress support?
