If you sleep on your side, the Purple Plus mattress can help you get a good night’s sleep. The Purple mattress lineup has improved significantly over the last few years. Only one mattress underwent a redesign to improve the edge support. There were three hybrid models, called the Purple 2, 3 and 4 (referring to the amount of GelFlex Grid the mattress had). Now Purple has three different collections of beds: the Essential, Restore Hybrid and Rejuvenate Luxe. The Purple Plus is the most high-end bed in the Essential Collection and is designed to be an upgraded version of the Original Purple Mattress. It is designed for side sleepers specifically, and we tested it to see what the hype is about.

The Purple Plus mattress wasn’t super impressive right out of the box, or I should say bag. Certain mattresses will ship inside of a large bag instead of a box which is what we see the vast majority of the time. It was unimpressive because it had a pretty long “off-gassing” process.

Every mattress needs some amount of time to fully inflate and firm up when it’s removed from the plastic, and beds like the Purple Plus that use lots of foam layers generally take longer. When I first laid down on the Purple Plus, it was so soft that I sank all the way down to the slats on the foundation, and it also looked somewhat misshapen. Based on our experience, I wouldn’t recommend sleeping on the Purple Plus night one, but by the next day, it was good to go. I was able to immediately tell that the Purple Plus had a very familiar feel, at least to me because, at the time, I slept on a Purple Hybrid mattress, and on both beds, you are essentially sleeping directly on the GelFlex Grid material that provides (most) Purple beds their unique feel.
