In January 2016, Purple introduced itself to the online mattress world with its “Goldilocks” video, which demonstrated the raw egg test. The test showed how this new innovative mattress would absorb and prevent a fragile egg from breaking under hundreds of pounds. This shocked the viewers, piqued their interest and Purple soon became the internet’s most sought-out mattress.
Although Purple’s instant popularity seemed like an overnight success story, it actually took years to perfect – 20 years to be exact.
Brothers Tony and Terry Pearce, the founders of Purple, always dreamed of inventing the perfect mattress. They hoped to combine the benefits of both firm and soft mattresses to alleviate pain, provide the best sleep possible, and be available for a reasonable price.
Tony, an aerospace engineer, and Terry, an expert in materials and manufacturing, set out to use their expert knowledge in both areas to achieve this. After a series of discoveries and several product developments, they invented a Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ grid, which they believed to be the best mattress technology in the world.
The Unique Qualities of the Purple Mattress
Purple’s carefully crafted layers create a one-of-a-kind sleeping experience. As such, it doesn’t fit into the usual mattress categories such as foam, latex, air, hybrid, or innerspring. The hyper-elastic polymer grid offers pressure point relief and is unique to Purple only.
Enjoying a Purple Mattress
The Purple’s GelFlex Grid, made from hyper-elastic polymer, responds quickly to your every movement, therefore you are always supported even if you move frequently during the night.
The GelFlex grid flexes around your hips and shoulders, reducing stress and alleviating pressure. At the same time, it stays full and supportive where you need it most: your lower back. This flexibility ensures custom support for every body type because it is both soft and firm at the same time.
The open cells of the GelFlex Grid allow air to flow freely, moving heat away from your body. This creates the perfect mattress temperature at all times so you will never feel too hot or too cold regardless of the temperature outside.
Mattress Express and Purple have joined forces so you can try out a Purple mattress before you buy it with no online buying hassle.
