How Much is a Purple Mattress? Our Guide to Purple Bed Prices – and Discounts

The Purple Mattress is one of the most famous beds in America. Since it was launched a decade ago, the Purple Mattress has been joined by eight further models in the range, whose wide-ranging price tags see hundreds of dollars knocked off during Purple’s regular discount sales.

The flagship Purple Mattress, also known as the Purple Original, costs around $1,500 at full price for a queen size, but is often closer to $1,300 thanks to the discounts offered by the brand. Some of Purple’s more expensive Luxe mattresses sell for many times that price, so you’ll definitely want to seek out discounts before investing in one of them.

In this article, we’ll reveal how much Purple mattresses cost at full price, from the least expensive PurpleFlex to the most expensive Purple RejuvenatePremier model. We’ll also look at the differences between the various Purple mattresses, so you can determine which one is best for you – and most deserving of your hard-earned dollars.

What is a Purple mattress?

The Purple Mattress launched in 2015, following a successful Kickstarter campaign. It was the first mattress in the world to couple its foam layers with a hyper-elastic polymer grid layer, namely the trademark “GelFlex Grid”, which now features in all Purple mattresses.

According to Purple, the GelFlex Grid layer helps to make its mattresses cooler than conventional foam mattresses; it improves support and pressure relief; and isolates movement to help you sleep peacefully next to a partner.

When we’ve tested mattresses with polymer grid layers, we’ve noticed they deliver a strong, supportive pushback that adapts to your body size and sleeping position over time.

What other Purple mattresses are there?

Eight other Purple mattresses now feature in the brand’s lineup alongside the original Purple Mattress. One is cheaper than the original, and seven are more expensive. Here’s the full range, starting with the cheapest:

Purple Essential Collection:

• PurpleFlex
• Purple Mattress (Purple Original)
• Purple Plus

Restore Hybrid Collection:

• Purple Restore Hybrid
• Purple RestorePlus Hybrid
• Purple RestorePremier Hybrid

Rejuvenate Luxe Collection:

• Purple Rejuvenate
• Purple RejuvenatePlus
• Purple RejuvenatePremier (pictured below)

All nine Purple mattresses feature the flexible GelFlex Grid layer, plus at least one layer of durable foam for support.

The three Restore Hybrid mattresses come in a choice of soft or firm feels, and feature responsive coils to add bounce, cooling and pressure relief.

At the premium end of the range, the three Rejuvenate Luxe mattresses all feature a quilted top layer, zoned coil layers, and high-density “GelFlex Grid Plus”, which Purple says delivers even greater body support and pressure relief than the plain old GelFlex Grid.

How much does a Purple mattress cost?

Purple mattress prices cover a huge range, from $699 for a twin-size PurpleFlex mattress to $12,990 for a split king Purple RejuvenatePremier mattress.

The flagship Purple Mattress comes in no fewer than seven sizes (more than most of the other models), and costs from $999 for a twin up to $2,198 for a split king, via $1,499 for the popular queen size when not discounted.

To simplify things, here’s how much each of the nine mattresses costs in three popular sizes:

How can I save money on a Purple mattress?

Purple sales crop up fairly regularly, and tend to happen around the holiday periods. In fact, even Purple’s own website has a guide to the best times to buy a Purple mattress, and suggests Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Black Friday as the days when discounts are highest.

However, while Purple’s discounts may be regular, they’re not huge. We wrote this article shortly before July 4, and were excited to check out Purple’s July 4th Sale – but it only knocked $100 off the price of an original Purple Mattress (down from $1,499 to $1,399 in queen size). Some of the more expensive mattresses saw price cuts of up to $500, but that’s still less than 10% off.

You’re likely to save more on the big sale dates such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there’s no getting around it: Purple mattresses are expensive. They’re a long-term investment for sleep quality, and may make all the difference for those who have struggled to wake up pain-free after a night’s sleep.

Which Purple mattress is the best value for money?

The best-value Purple mattress is the one that suits you best. The GelFlex Grid Plus and core body support of the Purple Rejuvenate mattress could make every penny of its $5,495 (queen size) price tag worth it, if it finally soothes your back pain.

However, if we had to choose a single Purple mattress that would represent the best value to the greatest number of people, it would be the good old Purple Mattress. Its price is reasonable for such a high-quality mattress, and it gets superb customer feedback for its pressure relief and cooling.

Some of Purple’s Luxe mattresses are reputed to be a little too soft for some sleepers, or a little too firm in the case of the budget PurpleFlex. The Purple Mattress hits the Goldilocks jackpot with its medium-firm balance of body-hugging comfort and back-soothing pressure relief. It’s an excellent fit for many body shapes and sleeping styles.

Like all Purple mattresses, the Purple Mattress comes with free delivery and a 100-night trial, during which you can return it if you find you don’t get on with it. Those who decide to stick with it benefit from a 10-year warranty for lasting peace of mind.
