As a seasoned mattress reviewer with a penchant for quality sleep, I’ve had the privilege of testing countless beds. But every so often, a mattress comes along that truly captures my attention. The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid is one such sleep surface, and I’m excited to share my in-depth review with you.

From the moment I unveiled the RestorePlus Hybrid, I knew I was in for a unique experience. Its distinctive purple hue and the innovative GelFlex Grid hinted at the cutting-edge sleep technology waiting to be explored. I put this mattress through rigorous testing, evaluating everything from its pressure-relieving abilities to its temperature regulation and support.

What I uncovered was a mattress that consistently intrigued me across multiple criteria, earning a solid 8 out of 10 overall score.

The RestorePlus Hybrid’s revolutionary combination of the responsive GelFlex Grid and individually wrapped coils delivered a sleep experience that was both uniquely comfortable and supportive. Its motion isolation and responsiveness, both scoring an impressive 9 out of 10, particularly stood out.

Whether you’re a side sleeper seeking pressure relief, a couple looking for undisturbed sleep, or someone dreaming of a cooler night’s rest, this review will help you determine if the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid is your ideal sleep solution.

So, let’s delve into the details and discover why this mattress has become a notable contender in the world of hybrid mattresses.

Inside the Mattress: Materials and Construction

When it comes to mattresses, I’ve seen my fair share of marketing fluff. Diving into the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid, I found a mix of old and new in sleep engineering techniques, establishing the classic hybrid ideal to provide the “best of both worlds.”

Mattress Cover

Let’s start with the cover, shall we? Purple calls it their “Keep Fresh Cover” with a SoftFlex fabric. Now, I’ll be honest—when I first laid eyes on it, I wasn’t blown away. It’s your standard polyester affair, with an interesting wave pattern formed by swirling lines.

But don’t let its humble appearance fool you. This cover is treated with an antimicrobial finish and boasts moisture-wicking properties. Will it turn you into a sleep-ninja who never sweats? Probably not, as I found. But it’s a nice touch that shows Purple’s attention to detail.

Purple Grid

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the 3-inch GelFlex® Grid. This is where Purple flexes its innovation muscles, and boy, does it deliver.

Imagine a giant, squishy purple waffle that instantly molds to your body. That’s the GelFlex® Grid in action.

When I first flopped onto this mattress, I could feel the grid adapting to my shape faster than a chameleon changes colors. It’s like having a thousand tiny mattress minions working tirelessly to cradle your pressure points.

Comfort Foam

Beneath this purple wonder lies a layer of Ultra Comfort Foam. It’s like the reliable sidekick to the Grid’s superhero—not flashy, but essential for the overall comfort package. This layer helps with heat dissipation and adds a bit more of that “ahhh” factor when you sink in.

Pocketed Coils

But the RestorePlus Hybrid doesn’t just rest on its purple laurels. It brings 8 inches of responsive coils to the party. These aren’t your creaky old bed springs—we’re talking about a sophisticated 3-zone edge-to-edge coil system. It’s a team working on your back, hips, and shoulders all night long.

Foam Perimeter

There’s a reinforced foam encasement around the perimeter that’s supposed to make sitting on the edge a breeze. In my experience, it’s good, but not Fort Knox solid. I could still perform my essential edge-of-bed tasks like tying my shoes without feeling like I was about to slide off, but it’s not the firmest edge I’ve encountered.

My Tester Thoughts

Temperature-wise, Purple makes some bold claims about sleeping up to 3X cooler than leading competitors.

While I can’t vouch for the exact math, I will say this—I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d just emerged from a sauna. The open design of the Grid, combined with the breathable foam and coil system, seems to do a decent job of preventing heat buildup.

At 13 inches tall, this mattress is a substantial piece of sleep real estate. It’s available in both soft and firm options, catering to different sleep styles and preferences. I tested the soft version, which Purple recommends for all sleep positions, especially side and combination sleepers.

Is it perfect? No mattress is. But with its unique Grid technology, thoughtful construction, and attention to detail, it’s certainly earned its place in the premium mattress league.

Just be prepared for a bit of an adjustment period — sleeping on a giant purple waffle grid can take some getting used to, but your pressure points might just thank you for it.

Testing Sleep Positions

As a mattress reviewer, I’ve learned to channel my inner sleep chameleon. I’ve spent nights on the soft version of Purple RestorePlus Hybrid in every conceivable sleep position, all in the name of thorough testing.

After my many sleep acrobatics, I’d say the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid is most ideally suited for back and side sleepers. Combination sleepers should also find it accommodating. Strict stomach sleepers, particularly those on the heavier side, might want to approach with caution.

Remember, though, that sleep preferences are highly individual. What feels like sleeping on a purple cloud to me might feel like a giant eggplant to you. It’s always best to take advantage of that sleep trial and put the mattress through your own sleep position obstacle course!

Side Sleeping: A Purple Hug for Your Curves

As a primary side sleeper, I approached this position with both excitement and trepidation. The Purple Grid’s reputation for pressure relief as a side sleeping mattress had me intrigued.

• Shoulder and Hip Comfort: I was pleasantly surprised by how the Grid collapsed under my shoulder and hip, cradling these pressure points. It felt like the mattress was giving me a gentle, supportive hug.
• Spinal Alignment: After a few nights, I noticed my usual morning stiffness had decreased. The mattress seemed to keep my spine well-aligned throughout the night.
• Arm Numbness: One quirk I noticed – occasionally, my bottom arm would feel a bit squished. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if you’re prone to numbness.

Back Sleeping: Floating on a Purple Cloud

I sometimes start my nights on my back, so I put the hybrid though its paces as a back sleeping mattress during my testing period.

• Lumbar Support: The RestorePlus Hybrid shone here. The combination of the Grid and the coil system provided excellent lower back support. I felt like I was floating in perfect alignment.
• Pressure Distribution: I noticed that my weight felt evenly distributed, with no particular hot spots of pressure.
• Breathing: One unexpected benefit – I found my breathing felt easier on my back with this mattress. Perhaps it was the way it kept my chest slightly elevated.

Stomach Sleeping: A Belly Flop or a Perfect Landing?

I’ll be honest, stomach sleeping isn’t my go-to position, but in the name of thorough testing, I gave it a shot. However, I don’t think it’s the greatest mattress for stomach sleeping, at least the soft option. The firm option likely would be better.

• Hip Sinkage: This was my biggest concern, and rightfully so. I did notice my hips sinking in a bit more than ideal, which could potentially lead to lower back strain over time.
• Neck Alignment: To combat the hip sinkage, I found myself using a thinner pillow to keep my neck aligned. It helped, but wasn’t perfect.
• Breathing: Unlike back sleeping, I found stomach sleeping a bit more challenging in terms of comfortable breathing. The mattress’s contouring, while great for other positions, felt a tad suffocating when face-down.

Combination Sleeping: The Midnight Dance

As someone who tends to switch positions throughout the night, this was perhaps the most realistic test for me. After I was not that happy with its performance as a solely stomach sleeping bed, I was pleased to see it’s better as a combo sleeping mattress.

• Ease of Movement: I was impressed by how easy it was to change positions on the RestorePlus Hybrid. The Grid’s quick response meant I wasn’t fighting against body impressions when I moved.
• Consistent Comfort: Whether I was on my side, back, or stomach, the mattress adapted quickly. I didn’t find myself waking up to readjust as often as I do on some other mattresses.
• Partner Disturbance: My tossing and turning seemed to have less impact on my sleep partner, thanks to the mattress’s good motion isolation.

How Responsive Is the Mattress?

A responsive mattress is your dance partner, moving with you instead of against you. It’s the difference between “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Princess and the Pea.”

On a responsive mattress, you’re gracefully pirouetting from one sleep position to another. On a non-responsive mattress? You’re more like a beached whale, floundering in a sea of unforgiving foam.

Moreover, responsive mattresses excel at pressure relief. By swiftly adapting to your body’s contours and weight distribution, they help prevent the formation of pressure points that can lead to discomfort or pain.

But wait, there’s more! (I sound like a late-night infomercial, don’t I?) Responsive mattresses are excellent for folks with mobility issues. They make getting in and out of bed less of a Herculean task and more of a “I’m ready to seize the day!” moment.

And let’s not forget about temperature regulation. A responsive mattress doesn’t cling to you like a needy ex, allowing for better airflow. No more waking up in a puddle of sweat, feeling like you’ve just run a marathon in your sleep!

So when it comes to responsiveness, how does the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid perform? I would say that it is like a cat on a hot tin roof—quick, nimble, and always ready to spring back into action. After extensive testing, I’m giving it a solid 9 out of 10 in this department.

You know that sinking, quicksand sensation some memory foam mattresses give you? Yeah, you won’t find that here. My usual test of dropping a 10-pound weighted ball onto the surface had it quickly popping back up before settling, a good sign of the mattress pushing back for greater comfort.

Of course, there’s no trumping the value of experience, and I found the RestorePlus Hybrid provides a unique floating feeling. When I roll from my back to my side, the mattress immediately adapts, supporting my new position without any lag time.

During my midnight snack runs (don’t judge), I found getting out of and back into bed to be a breeze. The responsive nature of this mattress means you’re not fighting against it when you move. It’s like the mattress is saying, “Go ahead, grab that cookie. I’ll be right here, ready when you get back.”

So why a 9 and not a perfect 10? Well, perfection is a high bar to clear, basically.

While the responsiveness is impressive, I did notice that the edges aren’t quite as responsive as the center of the mattress. It’s a minor quibble, but worth noting for those who like to live life on the edge (of their mattress).

If you’re a combination sleeper who tosses and turns, or someone who values ease of movement in bed, the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid has got your back (and your front, and your side).

Just remember, responsive doesn’t mean bouncy like a trampoline. So if you’re planning any bed-jumping competitions, maybe take those to the actual trampoline in the backyard. Your Purple mattress is responsive, not indestructible!

How Well Does the Mattress Isolate Motion?

For couples sharing a bed, good motion isolation means one person’s movements are less likely to disturb the other’s sleep. Some people are more sensitive to movement and can easily be woken by even slight disturbances. I am more prone to snoring through potential interruptions myself, but I still prize a good mattress for two with excellent motion isolation.

After putting the hybrid through a gauntlet of tests (and a few accidental real-life scenarios), I’m awarding it a solid 9 out of 10 for motion isolation.

The star of the show is, once again, Purple’s proprietary GelFlex Grid. This jiggly purple wonder doesn’t just contour to your body; it also acts like a motion sinkhole.

When I performed the classic “jump on the bed while my partner sits there cross legged” test (don’t try this at home, folks), the results were eye-opening. My partner’‘s area barely rippled, even as I channeled my inner kangaroo.

Of course, we can’t neglect the power of the individually wrapped coils, either. They buoyed the surface and everything on it, canceling out any would-be motion transfer. As we dropped our old friend—a 10-pound medicine ball—on the bed, observing how other objects did or did not move, we observed not even the tiniest bit of budging, a good sign!

Let’s face it, though, controlled tests are one thing, but real life is where the rubber meets the road (or in this case, where the restless sleeper meets the mattress). As someone who shares a bed with a partner who treats sleep like an Olympic sport, I can attest to the RestorePlus’s effectiveness.

When nature calls at 2 AM, I can ninja-roll out of bed without disturbing my partner’s dreams of winning gold in the sleep Olympics. On nights when I’m doing my best impression of a rotisserie chicken, my partner remains blissfully unaware, snoozing away.

And the daily struggle as I get up for work? It’s now a solo battle, no longer disturbing my still-sleeping bedmate.

So why a 9 and not a perfect 10? Well, while the motion isolation is impressive, it’s not quite a black hole for movement. With enough force (like a full-body flop or an enthusiastic dog jump), some motion does transfer. It’s minimal, but it’s there if you’re really looking for it.

How Does the Edge Support Hold Up

When it comes to mattresses, edge support isn’t just a fancy feature—it’s a crucial element that can significantly impact your sleep experience. The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid makes a solid effort in this department, earning a respectable 7 out of 10 for edge support.

But first, let’s talk about why edge support matters. Imagine sitting on the edge of your bed, tying your shoes or scrolling through your phone. Good edge support prevents that precarious feeling of potentially sliding off, allowing you to use every inch of your mattress with confidence.

For couples, it means a more usable sleep surface—no more clinging to the center like you’re on a life raft. For those with a movement-related disability, it can make it easier to push yourself out of the bed.

The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid tackles the edge support challenge with an advanced system engineered to fortify the mattress perimeter. It incorporates edge support foam that increases stability around the borders, ensuring that when you sit or lie near the edge, you feel secure.

Additionally, the mattress features an edge-to-edge responsive coil system. These coils extend right to the perimeter, providing consistent support across the entire surface.

In my tests, I personally found the sides quick to give way as I sat on the sides, though I was still able to complete basic tasks like bending over to tie my shoes. The edge support performs adequately, but with some noticeable limitations. I noticed less of a sag as I stretched out near the edge, but still didn’t quite dare creep all the way to the hemmed ridge.

However, the 7 out of 10 rating reflects some clear room for improvement. Those on the heavier side may notice significant compression when sitting directly on the edge, as I noted. Some couples may find they can sleep closer to the edges, though not as confidently as they might on a mattress with more robust edge support.

Still, it’s also worth noting that the unique feel of the Purple Grid technology can take some getting used to, especially near the edges. A considerable number of users reported an adjustment period before feeling comfortable with the level of edge support provided. I myself found myself similarly adapting to its feel.

All in all, I would say the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid’s edge support is like a well-meaning friend. It tries its best to be there for you, but occasionally lets you down. While it provides a decent level of support for many users, it may not meet the needs of those seeking exceptionally sturdy edges.

How Long Should the Mattress Last?

Alright, let’s tackle the million-dollar question (or in this case, the $2,000+ question): How long can you expect your Purple RestorePlus Hybrid to last? Buckle up, folks, because we’re about to dive into the murky waters of mattress longevity.

Here’s the thing—predicting the lifespan of a relatively new mattress model is like trying to forecast the weather a year in advance. We can make educated guesses, but there’s always an element of uncertainty.

Generally speaking, a high-quality hybrid mattress should last anywhere from 7 to 10 years. And Purple offering a 10-year warranty suggests they’re near certain it’ll hold up for at least a decade.

They also claim their GelFlex Grid technology is more durable than traditional foams. They boast about its ability to bounce back and resist sagging over time.

Now, let’s be real for a moment. The RestorePlus Hybrid hasn’t been around long enough for us to have concrete data on its decade-long performance. It’s like judging a marathon runner’s endurance after the first mile – we’re making some assumptions here.

But I think it’s fair to say that the mattress should last you about a decade of use, which seems to be about as advertised. Yet, as this is the standard expected length for a hybrid mattress, it can be disappointing to realize what Purple expects of their high-end model. You can readily find a budget mattress with a similar projected lifespan.

However, and this is a big however, your mileage may vary. Several factors can influence how long your mattress lasts:

• Your Body Type: Heavier sleepers might see more wear over time.
• Sleep Habits: If you’re constantly doing your best impression of a break-dancer in your sleep, expect more wear and tear.
• Maintenance: Rotating your mattress regularly and using a good mattress protector can significantly extend its life.
• Environmental Factors: Humidity, temperature, and exposure to direct sunlight can all affect mattress longevity.

The best approach? Treat your Purple RestorePlus like the sleep investment it is. Rotate it regularly, use a quality mattress protector, and keep an eye out for any signs of wear or changes in comfort over time.

Remember, even the most durable mattress that won’t sag still can’t last forever. If you start noticing persistent discomfort or visible sagging after a few years, don’t hesitate to reach out to Purple about their warranty coverage.

Does the Mattress Keep Cool at Night?

In the world of mattresses, staying cool is more than just a bonus—it’s a game-changer. The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid steps up to the plate with its temperature regulation features, earning a solid 7 out of 10 in the cooling department. It’s better than average, but not revolutionary.

Let’s break down why this matters. Our body temperature naturally drops as we prepare for sleep, and maintaining a cool environment is crucial for both falling asleep and staying asleep.

A too-warm mattress can disrupt this process, leading to restless nights, frequent wake-ups, and even night sweats. It’s like trying to sleep in a sauna—not exactly a recipe for sweet dreams.

Purple claims their mattresses can sleep up to 3X cooler than leading competitors—a bold statement that seems to hold water (or should we say, hold cool air) for some sleepers.

But I know I’ve heard promises of cooler sleep on a new mattress before, only to wake up in a sweat. So I was motivated to see if Purple lived up to their hype here.

As I’ve discussed before, at the top is the 3″ GelFlex® Grid. This unique purple waffle-like layer isn’t just for show—it’s engineered with over a thousand air channels that allow for superior airflow.

The mattress cover also pulls its weight in the cooling department. Made with moisture-wicking material, it helps keep you dry throughout the night. Because let’s face it, nobody wants to wake up feeling like they’ve just run a marathon in their sleep.

However, with the numerous high-end mattresses I’ve tried with innovative specialty covers, I was disappointed to see Purple did not challenge themselves similarly for their top-of-line models.

Still, how does it perform in the real world? Well, many users report significant improvements in their sleep temperature. One reviewer mentioned they no longer “sleep hot,” while another praised its ability to stay cool even during warmer months.

However, it’s not quite perfect, hence the 7 out of 10 rating. Some users, particularly those who run extremely hot, noted that while it’s a significant improvement over traditional mattresses, they still experienced some warmth on occasion.

It’s worth noting that the RestorePlus doesn’t actively cool—it’s more about heat dissipation. So while it might prevent heat build-up better than some mattresses, don’t expect it to actually make you feel cool on a hot night.

After my nights spent sleeping on the bed, I can say the hybrid does offer some temperature regulation benefits. But it’s not the silver bullet for hot sleepers that Purple’s marketing might suggest.

It’s an improvement over traditional memory foam, sure, but it’s not going to solve all your night-sweat woes. On hot summer nights, what I most want is an insta-chill sensation that helps me relax and fall asleep fast, and this model just didn’t deliver that.

Purple and the Planet: Measuring the Environmental Impact

When it comes to environmental impact, Purple mattresses find themselves in a bit of a gray area—or should we say, a purple area? Perhaps a mauve?

Anyway, while the company has made some strides towards more sustainable practices, it’s important to acknowledge that they’re not leading the pack in the green mattress revolution.

The Positives

On the positive side, their mattresses are made with CertiPUR-US® certified foams, which means they’re produced without ozone depleters, certain flame retardants, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals. This certification also ensures low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality, which is good news for both you and the environment.

Purple also prides itself on using non-toxic materials in their mattresses. The proprietary GelFlex® Grid is made from food-grade materials and is hypoallergenic.

As of 2024, they’ve innovated their flame-retardant protocol to eliminate the use of fiberglass, a material that has raised environmental and consumer safety concerns in the mattress industry. Many are now prioritizing fiberglass-free mattress.

However, it’s important to note that while these materials are safer for human health, they’re not necessarily the most eco-friendly options available. The polyurethane foam used in Purple mattresses, while CertiPUR-US® certified, is still a petroleum-based product. This means it’s not biodegradable and has a significant carbon footprint in its production.

The Drawbacks

Purple doesn’t prominently feature any use of organic or natural materials in their mattresses, which are often hallmarks of more environmentally friendly options.

They also don’t heavily promote any specific recycling programs for their mattresses at the end of their lifecycle, which is an area where some other mattress companies have made significant strides.

The company does offer a 100-night trial with free returns, which could potentially lead to waste if many mattresses are returned. However, it’s worth noting that many mattress companies have similar policies, and Purple likely works with donation partners to minimize landfill waste from returns.

In terms of packaging and shipping, Purple doesn’t heavily promote any particular eco-friendly initiatives. While they do compress their mattresses for shipping, which can reduce transportation emissions, this is fairly standard in the industry and not a standout feature.

Verdict and Alternatives

While Purple has made efforts to ensure their products are safe for consumers and has taken some steps towards more sustainable practices, they’re not positioning themselves as a leader in eco-friendly mattress options.

For consumers who prioritize environmental impact above all else, there are likely more green options available on the market, including ones I’ve personally tested and approved like the Amerisleep Organica, the Nolah Natural, and the Birch Natural.

However, for those who are drawn to Purple’s unique comfort technology and are satisfied with a moderate level of environmental consideration, the brand offers a reasonable compromise between comfort, safety, and sustainability.

Potential Drawbacks

While the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid has garnered many fans, it’s not without its potential downsides. By considering these alongside the mattress’s benefits, you can make a more informed decision.

Unique Feel

The GelFlex® Grid, Purple’s claim to fame, offers a unique sleep experience that’s not for everyone. I’ll be honest, when I first lay on this mattress, it felt alien. I felt like I was floating rather than sinking in, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

This sensation can take some getting used to, and for those accustomed to traditional memory foam or innerspring mattresses, it might feel downright unnerving.

A few reviewers reported never fully adjusting to the feel, even after the recommended break-in period. It’s certainly an acquired taste.

Initial Odor

While Purple uses CertiPUR-US® certified foams and says this eliminates off-gassing entirely, some users have reported a noticeable “new mattress” smell upon unboxing. This off-gassing period can last anywhere from a few hours to several days.

While not harmful, it can be unpleasant for those sensitive to odors and might require leaving the mattress in a well-ventilated area before use. It also is a reminder to take a manufacturer’s claims with a grain of salt.

Weight

The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid is not a lightweight mattress. Its substantial construction, including the GelFlex® Grid and coil system, makes it quite heavy.

This can make initial setup and any subsequent moving challenging, potentially requiring two people. Otherwise, be prepared for a workout.

I can say that I nearly threw my back out trying to move this mattress solo. It’s significantly heavier than other mattresses I’ve tested. For those who frequently rearrange their bedroom or live in walk-up apartments, this could be a significant consideration.

Price Point

There’s no way around it — Purple mattresses, including the RestorePlus Hybrid, come with a hefty price tag. While many users feel the quality justifies the cost, it’s undeniably a significant investment.

For money-conscious shoppers building their mattress budget or those unsure about committing to Purple’s unique technology, the price might be a deterrent.

Temperature Regulation

While Purple touts superior cooling properties, some hot sleepers have reported that the mattress doesn’t quite live up to the hype. I myself found it good but not game-breaking in this regard.

While it generally sleeps cooler than traditional memory foam, extremely hot sleepers or those in very warm climates might still experience some heat retention, especially if using thick bedding or mattress protectors. Like me, they may find themselves kicking off the sheets.

Noise

The coil system in the RestorePlus Hybrid, while providing excellent support, can potentially produce some noise. A few light sleepers have reported hearing slight creaking or rustling sounds when changing positions during the night.

While a squeaky bed is not a common complaint, it’s worth considering for those extremely sensitive to sound.

Edge Support

Despite Purple’s efforts to reinforce the edges, some users, particularly heavier individuals, may experience less-than-stellar edge support. This can lead to a feeling of “roll-off” when sitting or lying near the edge of the mattress, potentially reducing the usable sleep surface.

Firmness Discrepancies

A recurring theme in some reviews is that the mattress felt different at home compared to what they tried in the showroom. This could be due to factors like temperature differences or the breaking-in period.

However, it highlights the importance of taking full advantage of the trial period to ensure the mattress meets your expectations in your own bedroom.

Not Completely Motion-Isolated

While the RestorePlus Hybrid does a decent job at isolating partner disturbances, it’s not perfect. Some light sleepers with restless partners have reported still feeling some movement transfer, especially with the bouncier nature of the GelFlex® Grid compared to traditional memory foam.

Grid Requires Care

The unique structure of the GelFlex® Grid means that care must be taken when handling the mattress. Sharp objects can potentially damage the grid, and using an incompatible foundation could void the warranty. This might require additional purchases or careful consideration of your bed setup.

What Other Customers Are Saying

With a stellar 4.7 out of 5 rating from over 6,400 reviews, it’s clear that the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid is hitting all the right notes for most sleepers. Many reviewers are practically shouting their love from the rooftops.

“BEST BED EVER,” exclaims one enthusiastic sleeper, while another calls it “the mattress you NEED.” It seems Purple has struck gold – or should we say, purple – with this model.

However, comfort is king, and moreover it’s subjective. One reviewer described it as “body hugging magic,” perfectly cradling their form for a restful night’s sleep. Another mentioned that it “hugs and holds firm,” creating a winning combination for various sleep styles.

Yet, others found themselves tossing and turning. One reviewer noted, “I wake up almost every day with sore hips.” It’s a stark reminder that one person’s cloud nine can be another’s rock bottom.

Support and pain relief are recurring themes in the positive reviews. Multiple users mentioned improvements in back pain, posture, and overall sleep quality. One reviewer even noted that “all my sleep issues disappeared with this mattress!”

The mattress’s unique grid technology seems to be a hit, with many appreciating how it adapts to their body shape and movements. Several reviewers mentioned reduced motion transfer, allowing couples to sleep undisturbed by their partner’s movements.

Meanwhile, the cooling properties get mixed reviews. Some hot sleepers are rejoicing, claiming they “no longer sleep hot.”

However, others aren’t feeling so cool. One user reported feeling “like a furnace” even when it was 40 degrees outside. Clearly, your mileage may vary in the temperature department.

Several reviewers also mentioned a significant adjustment period. While Purple recommends giving it at least 21 days, some found this transition tough.

“Still getting comfy but so far so good,” one user wrote after several weeks. Patience might be a virtue, but it’s also a necessity with this mattress.

Meanwhile, I mentioned how long-term durability is hard to gauge? Well, some early red flags popped up. A few users reported sagging or dips forming within the first year.

One complained, “Now I have a dip in the middle of the mattress.” Not exactly what you want to hear about a premium-priced product.

Speaking of price, it’s a sore point for many. Even satisfied customers often mentioned the high cost. “Way too firm for a side sleeper,” one reviewer lamented, adding salt to the wound of their pricey purchase.

While the 4.7 rating suggests overwhelming satisfaction, the reality is more nuanced. The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid has its fervent fans, but it’s not without its detractors. It seems to work wonders for some sleepers, while leaving others wondering what all the fuss is about.

Remember, behind that high overall rating lurks a spectrum of experiences. While many are singing Purple’s praises, others are singing the blues. As with any mattress, it’s crucial to consider your individual needs and preferences before taking the plunge into the purple abyss.

Mattress Policies and Prices

Alright, let’s talk about the nitty-gritty details of the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid. You know, the stuff that might not be as exciting as that funky purple grid, but is crucial to know before you commit to this mattress.

We’re about to unpack the warranty (spoiler alert: it’s industry standard), the sleep trial (because test-driving a mattress is way more important than test-driving a car), and the prices (brace yourself, your wallet might need a hug).

Warranty

Purple offers a 10-year limited warranty from the original date of purchase. The warranty covers defects due to faulty workmanship or materials. If a defect is found, Purple will either replace or repair the mattress.

What’s considered a defect? Cracking, splitting, or failure of materials during normal use and handling. Also, a visible indentation greater than one inch compared to surrounding areas.

However, there limitation and caveats to this coverage:

• The warranty is void if the mattress is not used on a firm, flat, non-spring foundation or frame strong enough to support the mattress and its users.
• The mattress must always be covered during use to maintain warranty validity.
• The warranty doesn’t cover comfort preferences or normal localized firmness changes.
• The warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is non-transferable.
• It doesn’t cover damage from abuse, neglect, or improper care (e.g., stains, tears, burns, or infestation).

To make a warranty claim, you’ll need to provide proof of purchase and may be asked for photos of the mattress. The law tags must remain intact for warranty processing.

Remember, while the warranty provides some peace of mind, it’s just one factor to consider when evaluating the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid mattress. The trial period is equally important, allowing you to test the mattress in your home before fully committing to it.

Sleep Trial

Purple provides a generous 100-night sleep trial for every mattress. This means you have a full 100 calendar days from the date of delivery to decide if the mattress is the right fit for you.

To get the most out of your sleep trial, Purple recommends:

• Using appropriate bedding that doesn’t interfere with the mattress’s performance
• Ensuring you have a suitable foundation for the mattress
• Keeping track of your sleep quality and any changes in comfort over time

Breaking In Period

While 100 nights might seem like plenty of time, Purple has an important caveat: they require you to sleep on the mattress for a minimum of 21 nights before initiating a return.

This isn’t just an arbitrary rule. It’s based on the understanding that your body needs time to adjust to a new sleep surface, especially one as unique as the Purple Grid.

During this initial period, you might experience some changes in your sleep quality or comfort level. This is normal and part of the adjustment process. Purple encourages customers to give their bodies time to adapt to the new support system before making a final decision.

The Return Process

If you decide the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid isn’t for you, here’s how the return process works:

• Contact Purple: Reach out to Purple’s customer care team at 1-888-848-2305 to initiate the return process.
• Eligibility Check: To be eligible for a return, the mattress must be clean, undamaged, and have the law tag still attached. Purple may ask for photos to verify the condition of the mattress.
• Pickup Arrangement: Purple or one of their authorized partners will arrange a time to remove the mattress from your home. You won’t need to worry about repackaging or shipping the mattress yourself.
• Refund Processing: Once the mattress has been picked up, Purple will process your refund. You’ll receive the full product price of the mattress, minus any discounts applied at purchase, interest accrued, and original shipping charges.

While Purple doesn’t specify an exact timeframe, refunds typically process within 5-10 business days, depending on your bank or credit card company.

One Exchange Allowed

If you’re not quite ready to give up on Purple but think a different model might work better, you’re in luck. Purple allows one exchange during the trial period.

If you request an exchange, here’s how it works:

• The 100-night trial continues from the date the first mattress was delivered (or 30 days from the delivery of your second mattress, whichever is greater).
• In most cases, your first mattress will be removed when the second one is delivered.
• The same cleanliness and condition requirements apply for exchanges as they do for returns.

Sizes and Prices

As a premium mattress option, the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid comes with a price tag to match its advanced features in every mattress size. For some, it’s like comparing a gourmet burger to a fast-food patty. Sure, they’re both burgers, but the experience? Night and day.

However, I have reviewed other luxury mattresses with more competitive pricing, so if the unique grid isn’t the sole draw for you, you might want to consider some of these other models as you shop:

• Helix Midnight Luxe
• Nolah Evolution 15
• Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid

It’s also worth noting that Purple doesn’t offer a standard twin size in this model, which might be a consideration for those with smaller spaces or shopping for children’s rooms. However, I’ve found that a twin XL mattress usually works just as well as a smaller twin.

Now, about that height — we’re talking a chunky 13 inches here. A mattress thickness that’s great for comfort, but you might need to invest in some deep-pocketed sheets unless you want to play nightly tug-of-war with your bedding.

Care and Cleaning

Keeping your Purple RestorePlus Hybrid in tip-top shape isn’t just about preserving your investment—it’s about ensuring years of dreamy sleep. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of mattress maintenance:

Always Use a Mattress Protector

Before we get into anything else, let me shout this from the rooftops: USE A MATTRESS PROTECTOR! Purple’s GelFlex Grid is amazing, but it’s not invincible.

A good quality, breathable mattress protector is your first line of defense against spills, stains, and the general gunk of daily life. Think of it as a force field for your sleep sanctuary.

Rotate Regularly

Unlike your grandma’s old spring mattress, you don’t need to flip this purple beast. But rotation? That’s your ticket to even wear.

Give your RestorePlus a 180-degree turn every few months. Rotating the mattress gives a new lease on life, and your body will thank you for the evenly distributed comfort.

Spot Cleaning

When life happens (and trust me, it will), act fast to clean the mattress.

Tools Needed: Mild detergent, cold water, clean white cloth

1. Blot (don’t rub!) the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb excess liquid.
2. Mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water.
3. Dampen a clean white cloth with the solution and gently dab the stain.
4. Use a separate damp cloth with plain water to remove any soap residue.
5. Air dry completely before making the bed. Remember: Never saturate your mattress. We’re aiming for damp, not soaked!

Vacuuming

Give your Purple RestorePlus a monthly once-over with your vacuum’s upholstery attachment. It’s like a spa day for your mattress, removing dust, dead skin cells, and other invisible nasties. Pay extra attention to the seams and edges—they’re like dust bunny hotels.

Deodorizing

Sprinkle baking soda over the mattress surface, let it sit for several hours (or overnight if possible), then vacuum thoroughly. This trick works wonders for neutralizing odors.

Just make sure the baking soda is completely removed before you make the bed. No one wants a gritty night’s sleep!

Avoid Sun Exposure

While it might be tempting to “air out” your mattress in the sun, resist the urge! UV rays can degrade the materials in your Purple RestorePlus. If you need to air it out, do so indoors in a well-ventilated room.

The Don’ts: What to Avoid

• Don’t use harsh chemicals or bleach—they can damage the materials.
• Don’t machine wash the cover—it’s spot clean only, folks.
• Don’t eat in bed (I know, I know, but trust me on this one).
• Don’t jump on the mattress—it’s tempting, but it’s not a trampoline!

Conclusion

After spending considerable time with the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid, putting it through its paces in various sleep scenarios, I’ve come to view it as a solid contender in the premium mattress market.

Its innovative GelFlex Grid technology offers a unique sleep experience that, while not for everyone, provides excellent pressure relief and temperature regulation for many sleepers. The hybrid construction strikes a nice balance between support and comfort, though it comes with a learning curve and a hefty price tag.

Weighing the pros and cons, considering factors like durability, comfort, cooling properties, and overall sleep quality, I’d rate the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid an 8 out of 10. It’s not perfect—the unique feel may not suit all sleepers, and the price point is certainly steep—but it’s a high-quality mattress that delivers on many of its promises.

For those willing to invest in their sleep and adapt to its distinctive feel, the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid could be a game-changer. However, as with any mattress, I strongly recommend taking full advantage of the sleep trial to ensure it’s the right fit for you. Sweet dreams, fellow sleep enthusiasts!
