They also offer a kids’ mattress, designed for kids up to 14 years old. In addition, the Premier offers a 3-inch or 4-inch grid, with the greater height reflected in a higher price.

The same layers make up Purple’s top-of-the-line Hybrid Premier mattress, except that the grid is 50 percent thicker than it is in the regular Hybrid. A layer of breathable fabric rests at the very top. Inside the Purple Hybrid, the grid sits atop individually wrapped stainless steel coils that are sandwiched by two layers of transition foam. In addition to the original bed, Purple offers Purple Hybrid and Purple Hybrid Premier. Unlike innerspring mattresses, however, the durability of the grid walls simultaneously cradles pressure points, like shoulders and hips, while still supporting the back and legs. The Hyper-Elastic Polymer, as its name implies, was developed to create a responsive bed, similar to traditional innerspring mattresses. The GelFlex grid on each mattress is made from Hyper-Elastic Polymer and comprises 1,400-plus air channels to create a consistently cool sleep. (To be clear, the foam is not memory foam but an environmentally friendly polyurethane foam.) The second layer, the grid, sets the Purple Mattress apart from all other mattresses. The original Purple Mattress is made up of four layers: a soft flex fabric cover on the top, a 2-inch GelFlex grid, a soft comfort foam, and a firm supportive foam.
