Firmness Info | |
Medium feel top of the bed you need - not too firm, not too soft. Rated a 7 to 8 on the firmness scale. Maximum support - to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs. | The 3-inch Purple Grid™ layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed. Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid. Similarly, customers who weigh 250-pounds or more have expressed a common interest in The Purple Premier, as it offers a bit more support. |
Mattress Construction | |
Materials Overview | |
The Helix Plus is designed for Plus Size and Big & Tall and offers maximum support with a medium feel, it has five layers of construction:
| The Purple Premier 3 is made with ultra-high-quality materials engineered for the perfect synergy of durability, luxury, and No Pressure Support:
|
Comfort Info | |
Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights. | The Purple Grid™ has thousands of open air channels that feel cool as you lie doown and neutralize your body heat throughout the night so you sleep comfortably all night long. |
Support Info | |
The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs. | The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move. The Purple Grid™ is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body. A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support. |
Comfort Specs | |
Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body. Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend. | Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material. |
Support Specs | |
Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support. Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support. The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress. | Responsive Support Coils Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Grid™ to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric. The Purple Grid™ is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. 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. |
Fabric Specs | |
Each Plus mattress comes with our Ultra Breathable Tencel technology designed to increase airflow and to keep you cool. | StretchMax Cover Boasting even more stretch, the soft top material allows you to feel the full benefits of the Purple Grid™, while ultra-breathable woven side panels encourage airflow. |
