7.9 Tested Aug 23, 2026 by Team RankingRight

Purple Mattress (Queen, GelFlex Grid, 9.25") review 2026

The gel grid that stays cool and flexes under shoulders and hips — a feel unlike anything else, which testers either loved or did not

Is the Purple Mattress Worth It?

Best cooling mattress. If you wake up hot, the Purple is the answer: nothing else here measured cooler, and the pressure relief for side sleepers is real. The feel is the risk — use the trial.

Purple Mattress Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Coolest surface in the test — within 1°F of room temperature
  • Grid collapses under the shoulder and holds the hip; excellent side-sleeper pressure numbers
  • Sold and shipped via Amazon as well as direct
  • Durable polymer grid does not develop body impressions
Cons
  • The grid feel is polarising; one tester never adjusted
  • Edge support is poor
  • Heavy to move; 9.25" may look low on a platform bed
