• You Want A More Resilient Feel – The Purple moves immediately back into place when you move around. It has a very bouncy/resilient feel, much more so than any of the Tempurpedic models. If that’s the type of feel you think you’d like, then Purple would probably be the way to go. • You Want A Temperature Neutral Mattress – The gel construction makes the Purple mattress a completely temperature neutral mattress. That means you won’t sleep overly hot or overly cold because of the mattress. The Breeze models from Tempurpedic do a good job of making the mattress sleep cooler, but I think Purple takes the cake as far as keeping a neutral sleeping temperature. • You Want A Combination Of Firmness And Pressure Relief – I found Purple to be unique in that it felt both somewhat firm yet very pressure relieving at the same time. It was a cool feeling where I felt very well supported while feeling almost no pressure on my hips and shoulders. • You Want A Little More Value – Through the online-only business model, the value you get from the Purple is more than you get from any Tempurpedic model.

This is simply because of the big price difference between Purple and any of the Tempur-Pedic models. Pick Tempurpedic If: • You Want To Choose From A More Established Company – Tempurpedic has been around much longer than Purple. That means you get the benefit of years of customer reviews. You will have a better idea of how each of their mattresses will hold up over time because there is so much more data available. • You Want Firmness Options – Purple will be a good fit for a majority of sleepers, but if you know the exact firmness you want, you might be able to get a better fit with a Tempur-Pedic. They make each mattress model with a specific firmness in mind ( being the firmest and the being the softest), so you should be able to easily match your preference to one of the available models. ![]() • You Want A Slow-Moving, Memory Foam Feel – The feel of most Tempurpedic models is very different from the feel of the Purple. If you like to slowly sink into the mattress, then you will most likely prefer most of the Tempur-Pedic models over the Purple mattress. Notes On Sleeping Hot Some people worry that their mattress could sleep hot, and that is a common complaint about some Tempur-Pedic models. The Breeze models directly address this issue and do a good job of keeping a cooler sleeping temperature. The Purple mattress is temperature neutral. You should have no concerns about the mattress sleeping hot. It’s simply not an issue because of the way the mattress is constructed. Notes On Motion Isolation Both Purple and the Tempur-Pedic models do a great job at isolating motion. If I had to pick a winner, I would say that the Tempur-Pedic models do a slightly better job at isolating motion, but it’s pretty close. Both are a great option for couples because of this. Notes On Price/Value The obvious difference between Purple and the Tempur-Pedic line of mattresses is the price. Purple only sells online, so from that fact alone it is able to price its product much lower. If it sold through retail stores, it would probably be priced around $2,000-2,500. Overall, I do believe the value of the Purple is higher, simply from the fact the business model allows them to price the mattress at such a low level. That is not to say that everyone should definitely buy the Purple, however. Overall The difference between the two companies and their products is vast. The feel of the Purple is very different from any of the Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Given the major feel difference and the price difference, you should be able to assess which mattress would be the best fit for you. See our full and.

Blue says July 21, 2017 Just read this and it seems very difficult for people to know why Tempur Pedic is a bit more pricey then most mattresses or it’s durability factor but I’ve known about tempur for years and have seen their products come out for a good time. Tempur – Pedic isn’t for everyone that’s true but it is the most durable mattress when it comes to long lasting and longevity. This has been backed up for quite a long time for me due to personal experiences and working with this company. I’ve seen prototypes from 1999 that are still the same as the day they came in. Even a 2001 model shows no signs of breaking down or anything else. As for Purple I doubt they can hold up the same results I’ve looked at their foam and it’s density is sad and pathetic in comparison to be honest. Tempur – Pedic is a much heavier mattress because of its high density and that’s how I know they last so much better. And yes I know this seems a tad bit biased but in comparison to the other companies for a foam mattress none of them are as heavy as a tempur mattress and that disturbs me when it comes to structural integrity. Sarah says July 26, 2017 Thanks for this run down of both. I’ve been looking and trying to decide which I want. I’ve always enjoyed the feel of the tempurpedic in stores but haven’t invested due to the price. Purple intrigues me and despite some people’s claim to the opposite I do think they have an innovated product. No other mattress looks like it, and the egg test they did was very interesting with results being duplicated by various parties. I’m still unsure if we should invest because the price is still fairly expensive but this comparison does help me in that decision process and I’m still leaning twoard purple. Artemio Layug says October 7, 2017 I’ve seen Purple advertised and I was intrigued. If Purple was available in 2009 I would have bought it, instead I bought a tempurpedic for around $1800.00 to replace my then 15-year old mattress which was giving me back pain. Thanks for the review though, I was actually thinking about buying a Purple. But now you’ve set my mind at ease about the Tempurpedic which you say is as good as the Purple. With the Tempurpedic backpain is a rare occurrence. It only happens when I’ve somehow contorted my body inappropriately when sleeping. ALPINE, Utah — Specialty sleep bedding veterans Tony and Terry Pearce are planning to enter the online bedding arena with a new company called Purple that features a “hyper-elastic polymer” comfort and support layer. This cutaway shows the purple polymer layer inside the new Purple mattress. This is the new Purple mattress being offered by bedding veterans Tony and Terry Pearce. They say their Purple mattress, topper and seat cushion provide superior pressure relief and comfort and stand apart from competitors’ products. The Pearces have launched a KickStarter campaign that has already secured pledges that have exceeded their original goal of $25,000. The KickStarter video pokes fun at the in-store mattress shopping experience. It can be seen here: The Pearces, who have made bedding products under the ZZZest, GelMakers and EdiZone banners, say their new company represents the culmination of their work in the bedding arena and offers consumers something unique. “The difference between us and companies like Casper is that we have the top-layer amazing technology that is not found in any of them (they are all simple foam-only mattresses made with commodity technologies like memory foam and latex),” said Tony Pearce, CEO of Purple. “Our Purple top layer features our patented pressure-releasing technology proven around the world in both medical beds and consumer beds for two decades.” This is the first time that technology has been made in king-size pieces, covering 100% of the surface of the bed, Tony Pearce said. Retails for the Purple products range from $110 for a seat cushion to $1,099 for a queen mattress. The queen bed is being offered to KickStarter backers for $899. “Several hundred thousand beds have been sold, mostly internationally, in the $2,500 to $4,000 range with this technology covering only 60% of the bed surface,” Tony Pearce said. “We’ve invested three years and several million dollars making equipment and tooling and perfecting this full-coverage Purple, which we characterize as hyper-elastic polymer.” That technology has been characterized as gel in the past, but Tony Pearce said that gel “has come to mean memory foam with widely-disbursed little bits or swirls of gel. Our queen has 58 pounds of hyper-elastic polymer, compared with maybe one to five pounds of gel in a mattress with ‘gel’ in it.” The KickStarter campaign runs through early November. In mid-November the Pearces plan to begin testing new videos and landing pages for the company. They plan the official advertising launch for January. “Purple has engaged with five marketing companies that have shown recent major success in Internet product launches, forming a team to take a large share of the ‘new’ online-only mattress business,” Tony Pearce said. He said another of his companies, WonderGel, has sold over 100,000 cushions made from 100% hyper-elastic polymer last year, and looks to ship more than 200,000 this year. These cushions are now being converted from WonderGel cushions to Purple-branded seat and lumbar cushions.
