What supports this
Watch-outs
Quick verdict
- You dislike the springy, buoyant Purple feel.
- You wake easily from partner movement and want a slower all-foam bed.
- You want a firm, flat-feeling mattress for stomach sleeping.
- You are not comfortable paying a premium price before trying the surface.
Choose the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid if you want deeper Grid pressure relief than the entry Restore and still care about cooling, edge support, and easy movement. Skip it if you want a quiet, slow-foam couple's mattress, a traditional pillow-top feel, or a less distinctive surface.
How it actually performs
What this score means
How we reached it
- Sinkage measured 1.95–2.03″, with comfort material around 5.0″.
- The 3-inch Grid flexes under the shoulders and hips without a slow foam hug.
- The buoyant Grid feel remains different from plush memory foam.
Pressure-relief testing showed shallow 1.95–2.03-inch sinkage with a thicker comfort package than the entry Restore. The 3-inch Grid gives the bed strong side-sleeper pressure relief, but the feel remains more buoyant than plush foam.
- Sinkage measured 1.95–2.03″.
- The 3-zone coil system adds targeted lift through the middle of the bed.
- Mattress thickness measured around 13″.
- The medium-soft surface is less suitable for sleepers who need a firm, flat feel.
Support checks showed shallow sinkage on a 13-inch profile. The three-zone responsive coil system adds targeted lift through the center for back and combination sleepers.
- Peak-to-peak acceleration measured 11.04–11.50 m/s².
- Pocketed coils help limit movement from spreading across the entire surface.
- Very motion-sensitive partners may prefer a slower all-foam mattress with lower bounce.
Motion-transfer testing showed good isolation with 11.04–11.50 m/s² peak-to-peak acceleration. That is adequate for many couples, but highly sensitive partners should compare calmer foam hybrids before buying.
Movement reaching the other side
A fixed 12 lb load creates the impact while an accelerometer records the movement that crosses the mattress.
- Sinkage measured 1.95–2.03″, which affects surface contact and heat buildup.
- Open Grid channels and the coil core give heat multiple paths to escape.
- Sheets, protectors, and room temperature still influence how cool the bed feels.
Cooling checks support the material design. The 3-inch Grid, breathable Ultra Comfort foam, and coil core give the mattress better airflow than a dense all-foam build, while the shallow sink limits close body contact.
- Sitting-edge compression measured 2.69–2.81″.
- Lying edge support was rated Outstanding.
- Sitting at the very edge still produces more compression than lying near it.
Edge checks were a clear advantage: sitting compression measured 2.69–2.81 inches and lying edge support was excellent. That matters for couples and anyone who uses the full bed width.
Support at the mattress perimeter
We measure seated compression, then check how secure the surface remains while lying directly along the edge.
- Response mostly recovered in 0.196–0.204 sec. and fully recovered in 0.29–0.31 sec.
- Bounce measured 11.96–12.44″.
- The same high bounce may feel too lively to sleepers who prefer a still surface.
Response mostly recovered in 0.196–0.204 seconds and fully recovered in 0.29–0.31 seconds, while bounce measured 11.96–12.44 inches. That makes the mattress easy to reposition on, especially for combination sleepers.
- Mattress thickness measured around 13″.
- The 13-inch build combines Purple Grid material, foam, edge support, and coils.
- Long-term owner feedback for the current generation remains limited.
The 13-inch build combines a 3-inch Grid, Ultra Comfort foam, edge support system, and 3-zone coil unit. These are strong construction signals, but a strong initial odor took about 10.15 days to clear and the current generation does not yet have an extensive long-term owner record.

What the claims mean in practice
Fit and feel
Supported with caveatsPurple positions RestorePlus around a medium-soft feel and targeted back-pain relief.
Testing and customer reviews support a strong pressure-relief story, but the Grid feel is still personal and not everyone wants a buoyant surface.
Try Purple first if you are unsure about the Grid feel.
Cooling and responsiveness
SupportedPurple says the RestorePlus sleeps cooler through the Grid and coil system.
Supported by the open 3-inch Grid, breathable foam, and coil support core.
Hot sleepers have a clear reason to consider RestorePlus if they also like the feel.
Policy and price
Supported with caveatsPurple promotes the 100-night trial, 10-year warranty, and lowest-price guarantee.
Supported, but the 21-night minimum, refund deductions, warranty documentation, and current Queen price still matter.
Check the current cart and keep all warranty records.

Policy details that can change the decision
Purple lists a 100-night trial with a 21-night minimum before return or exchange.
Trial length only helps if the buyer also understands the minimum tryout period and channel rules.
Purple says it or an authorized partner will arrange mattress removal for eligible direct returns, with refund deductions possible for discounts, interest, and transportation charges.
The trial helps, but the refund and logistics language still matter.
Purple lists a 10-year limited mattress warranty for the original purchaser.
Warranty language is not a comfort guarantee and depends on support, condition, and eligibility rules.
Purple says compatible supports include a solid surface, slats less than 3.5 inches apart, or an adjustable base tested to at least 750 lb.
An incompatible base can affect comfort and warranty coverage.
Reviewed model details
Model checkedJul 8, 2026Current model
Configuration evaluatedStandard cover · Medium 5/10 measured feel · 13-inch profile
Construction & materials
CoverSoftFlex / Keep Fresh cover with moisture-wicking and antimicrobial finish · Top
The cover is designed to stretch with the Grid, wick moisture, and help the surface stay breathable. As the surface textile, it chiefly affects the initial hand feel, moisture movement, and how readily heat leaves the sleeper; it supplies little of the mattress's deep support.
Why it matters: Across the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Mattress, sinkage measured around 1.99″, which affects surface contact and heat buildup. Treat the cover as one part of thermal comfort rather than proof that the mattress will stay cool for every sleeper.
Comfort gridGelFlex Grid · Top comfort
3"
Purple lists a deeper 3-inch Grid for pressure relief, airflow, and the brand's buoyant surface feel. The flexible grid yields under concentrated load while less-loaded areas remain raised, combining pressure redistribution with open channels through the comfort layer.
Why it matters: For the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Mattress as a whole, sinkage measured around 1.99″, with comfort material around 5.0″. Its feel is more distinct than conventional foam, so the recorded sinkage and pressure result are more useful than assuming every sleeper will like the grid sensation.
Edge supportEdge support system · Perimeter
The perimeter system is intended to preserve the edge and improve usable mattress width. This reinforcement is intended to resist perimeter compression, helping the outer sleeping surface remain usable when someone sits or lies near the side.
Why it matters: In the finished Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Mattress, sitting-edge compression measured around 2.75″. The meaningful check is the finished mattress’s seated compression and lying stability, not the presence of an edge-support label by itself.
Comfort foamUltra Comfort foam · Transition
Breathable foam adds cradling pressure relief and temperature balance. This layer buffers the sleeper from the firmer support core and controls how gradually resistance increases as the body sinks deeper.
Why it matters: Across the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Mattress, sinkage measured around 1.99″. It becomes especially important for higher-weight sleepers and back or stomach sleepers, who engage more of the mattress depth than lighter sleepers.
Coil system3-zone responsive coils · Support core
8"
The coil unit provides targeted support, airflow, and pushback below the comfort layers. This is the mattress’s main load-bearing spring unit. Pocketed coils, when used here, compress more locally than connected springs while leaving open space for airflow and rebound.
Why it matters: For the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Mattress as a whole, sinkage measured around 1.99″. This layer supplies most of the deep pushback for alignment, but the foams or fibers above it still determine initial pressure relief and contour.
