Purple RestorePlus® Hybrid Mattress: Is It Worth Buying?

Choose Purple's listed Medium-soft feel; the Soft and Firm labels below describe outside reviewers' tested versions, not extra Purple-listed choices. Purple says its Medium-soft feel is often preferred by side and combination sleepers.

Sleep Foundation rated its reviewed version Medium (5) on its firmness scale, calling it balanced for a variety of sleepers. Mattress Clarity rated the Soft version close to 6/10, while Sleepopolis scored its Soft version 5.5 out of 10. GoodBed rated its Firm model Medium-Firm (4) on the GoodBed rating scale.

The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid rates better for side and back sleepers than stomach sleepers, but its scores are weaker for higher-weight groups. Sleep Foundation’s ratings show side scores lead in each listed band, while stomach scores are lowest.

• Under 130 lbs: side 9/10, back 8.5/10, stomach 7.5/10.
• 130-230 lbs: side 8/10, back 7/10, stomach 6.5/10.
• Above 230 pounds: side 6.5/10, back 6/10, stomach 5.5/10.

Side sleepers above 230 pounds may prefer a firmer mattress; back sleepers in this group might feel better supported on one. Purple says there is no weight limit; it suggests 300 pounds per person or 600 pounds total. Sleep Foundation rated edge support 6.5/10. Tester Mary felt safe sleeping near the edge, but the edges folded somewhat when she sat on them, so edge seating may feel less steady.

The RestorePlus may support some back sleepers, but support is not a promise of pain relief. Purple says its 3-zone coils target lower-back support. Sleep Foundation says the medium (5) feel gives adequate support to back sleepers up to 230 pounds; heavier back sleepers may prefer a firmer mattress. Mattress Clarity's tester felt hip sinkage and lower-back strain while stomach sleeping, despite the zoning. An AOL reviewer said it felt soft enough for side sleeping and supportive enough for the back, but that was one person's account, not a lab test. For back support, the clearest firmness guidance is medium (5) up to 230 pounds, firmer for heavier back sleepers.

Outside scores suggest neutral, not warm, sleep: Sleep Foundation gave Temperature Control 9.5 out of 10, Sleep Doctor gave Temperature Control 9.0 out of 10, and RTINGS scored Cooling 9.9. Purple lists a moisture-wicking Keep Fresh Cover, a 3-inch GelFlex Grid, breathable Ultra Comfort Foam, and an 8-inch Responsive Coil System. The coils help dissipate heat and move air, which may suit you if heat build-up is a concern.

You may notice some partner movement, but outside readings do not give a clear answer. Mattress Clarity scored motion transfer 3.5 and described the bed as bouncy and responsive, while reporting little transfer. Sleep Foundation rated motion isolation 8.5/10; Sleepiverse rated it 7.6; Sleep Doctor rated it 8.5/10. For a light sleeper with a restless partner, these readings suggest some motion control, but the bounce is a reason not to assume you will feel nothing. If small movements wake you, these results are not a guarantee of undisturbed sleep.

The $3,599 Queen list price makes sense if you need its larger footprint; if not, choose a smaller size at a lower price. The table shows the available sizes and their list prices.

RestorePlus Hybrid list prices by size

The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid has four layers, top to bottom: a fabric cover, GelFlex Grid, Comfort Foam, and a coil system.

• Keep Fresh Cover: Purple lists the top fabric as 97% polyester and 3% elastic.
• GelFlex Grid: Purple describes this as its flexible, gel-like polymer comfort layer, arranged in a grid pattern. It is 3 inches thick.
• Comfort Foam: Purple describes this as breathable Ultra Comfort Foam that conforms to your body.
• Responsive Coil System: 8 inches of edge-to-edge coils. Purple says they enhance the GelFlex Grid and provide full-body support.

The Queen weighs 147 lbs, a useful figure to plan around when moving or setting up the mattress.

The cover is SoftFlex fabric, with different fibers on each side. The top is 97% polyester, 3% elastic; the sides are 100% polyester; the bottom is 65% FR rayon, 25% polyester, 10% sheath/core.

Purple says its foam is CertiPUR-US certified and its non-toxic, hypoallergenic mattress materials are Clean-Air Gold certified. GREENGUARD Gold applies to the flame barrier, which Purple says meets health standards. Each certification applies to the part or materials named, not automatically to the whole bed.

Purple says the RestorePlus Hybrid has no fiberglass. It describes the fire barrier as a fiberglass-free fire sock that is not chemically treated. If avoiding fiberglass matters to your purchase, check the mattress's law tag, which lists its materials. That lets you compare the product claim with the materials named on the mattress itself.

The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid works with a solid-surface base, slats less than 3.5 inches apart, or an adjustable base tested to at least 750 lbs. weight capacity, according to Purple. Check your base against those limits before buying. Purple says not to use its mattresses with a box spring, so that base is out.

Sleep Foundation estimates this mattress’s lifespan at 6.5 to 7.5 years; Purple says do not flip it, and rotating is optional. Treat the lifespan as a planning estimate, not a promise. Purple recommends at least 21 nights to adjust to a Purple mattress, so give it that time before deciding whether its feel suits you. That lets you judge comfort after the adjustment period, rather than from a brief first impression.

Purple says shipping is free. The RestorePlus Hybrid ships by ground and arrives 5 to 10 business days after it leaves the warehouse, so the wait starts at departure, not order day. Purple says FedEx handles lighter beds and partner crews handle heavier ones; confirm which carrier applies to RestorePlus. Setup with old-bed removal is free on Rejuvenate and costs $200 on some Essential and Restore beds. Check with Purple whether RestorePlus qualifies and what fee applies before arranging pickup.

Purple gives the RestorePlus Hybrid a 100-night trial, so you have time to decide whether to keep it. A return has a $250 Restore transportation charge, deducted from the refund. Purple says the refund is the price less discounts, any interest, and that charge. You may make one exchange; you pay any upgrade, and transport charges may apply.

Purple's warranty lasts ten years from purchase for the original buyer only. It covers dips deeper than 1 in, not normal softening. The cover has 2 years of coverage. An incorrect base can void coverage; Purple mattresses should not be used with a box spring, so check the mattress's base requirements before setup.

Owners describe comfort and pain relief, but some also report adjustment trouble and concern about cost. Purple.com lists a 4.7 owner rating. Its reviewers describe feeling more comfortable, less back or hip pain, fewer numb hands or arms on waking, and less disturbance from a partner’s movement. Target.com feedback also includes backache improvement.

The trade-offs are time to adjust and perceived expense. A Purple.com reviewer said her husband needed a couple of weeks to get used to the mattress; another said it was the most they had spent on one. A Target.com owner still had back issues and planned to give their body another month to adjust. If you need a quick answer on comfort, these reports show that adjustment and pain relief can vary.

Purple's own models are the closest comparisons, then Saatva and Nectar fill different needs.
