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.	An internal breathable layer that increases cooling airflow while you sleep. An exclusive "peak & valley" design in the second layer to ensure consistent airflow and combines with the top layer to form a unique system to ensure a cool 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.	A memory foam layer that takes the pressure off your body while still providing support.

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.

Tulo

Is Tulo a mattress firm brand?

Yes, Tulo is a brand of mattresses that are sold by Mattress Firm. They offer a range of comfortable mattresses, pillows, and other essentials that are designed to provide a good night's sleep without breaking the bank.

Can you sleep on a Tulo mattress right away?

While it's generally okay to sleep on a Tulo mattress within a few hours of unboxing it, if you're sensitive to certain smells, it might be a good idea to let it air out for up to 12 hours. Additionally, the mattress will need a few hours to fully expand before you can sleep on it.

Do you need a box spring for a Tulo?

While a box spring is not necessary for a Tulo mattress, you will need to ensure that your bed frame or foundation meets Mattress Firm's standards before you sleep on it.
