Purple Restore Hybrid Mattresses - Compared and Explained by GoodBed

[@joshramirez7]

This channel is the GOAT of sleeping and bedding channels. You and your website have helped me tremendously decide with my new mattress search (I went with the original Purple mattress, which also might need an updated review since it has a slightly different design from your original review). Although I don't need more advice, I respect the quality content for those who need it, subscribed! Keep up the great work, Mike.

[@johnsweet8055]

I received the Purple Restore Plus firm and love it. I love the feel of the grid and the coolness of the mattress. This IMO is the best purple mattress they ever made. Extremely happy with my purchase. I'm a combo sleeper and it works great for me. If you're a strict side sleeper I would recommend you get the soft version.

[@goodbed]

Glad to hear it John! If you're willing to share your experience as a review on GoodBed, you can be the first review of this new model: www.goodbed.com/review-mattress/model/purple-restoreplus-firm/ I'm sure both the company and other consumers would appreciate it.

[@bogieman101]

John what weight and height are you? Me, 6'2" 240 with a fair amount around the waist. Wife is 5'2" Maybe 155. We will be on split kings and we both are side and back sleepers. Lay some knowledge on me my man..

[@comeon4343]

Just ordered the Purple Restore Plus firm. I have the Purple Plus now and it's a bit too soft for me at 6' 220 lbs. I try to be a side sleeper but when I wake up, I'm always on my stomach. I tried the Restore firm also and that seemed like it also would work well for me. I decided on the Restore Plus firm because I like the idea of the zoned coils. I'll update when I receive it.

Hope it works out well for you!

How does the purple restore premium compare with the Saatva RX?

[@loitersquadX]

Diffrent beds. I love purple i cant sleep on anything else

[@goodbed]

Hi Debbie -- In case you're still in the market, I just wanted to let you know that we published our full review of the Saatva Rx mattress yesterday. You can find it here: www.goodbed.com/reviews/saatva-rx-review/ There are definitely some interesting parallels and contrasts with the Purple Restore Premium. I hope that's helpful.

What pillows are those on the bed

[@jag1087]

Why can’t they put handles on these things? My Purple 3 is impossible to move.

[@goodbed]

Hi there -- Thanks for your comment. The challenge here is simply figuring out a handle design that could support this mattress, which IMHO would need to be stronger than any of the handles on the market today. In the meantime, having moved a bunch of these mattresses, I can certainly relate to your sentiment. :)

Hey there, I’m looking at the plus soft or the Premier firm. I’m 5’11 170 lbs and I’m a combination sleeper but usually fall asleep on my side and switch to my stomach. Do you recommend one over the other ? Is the zoned coil system on the plus softer better than the individual coils on the premier ? Thank you!!

[@cjrosenb]

Hi Mike, great video and comparison of these new mattresses! I had the old Purple Hybrid 3 previously and recently moved across the country and parted with it. Now I'm in the market for a new Purple mattress, but the product line has changed! I loved the Hybrid 3, I am primarily a side sleeper but occasionally will move to my back. I'm 6'3 and 180 lbs. I've been leaning towards the Restore Premier, but cannot seem to decide between the soft or firm option. What would you recommend? What would be closest to the Hybrid 3?

[@goodbed]

Hey there! In this case, we think the Restore Plus would likely be the better choice. This is the option that most closely aligns with the Purple 3, and has the same three inches of Purple Gel Grid. With regards to soft vs firm, my inclination here would probably be the firm based on your height and weight, though you might see if you can find one locally to get a sense of how these feel to you.

[@goodbed]

Thanks for your kind words - glad this was helpful! I would actually say that the Purple Hybrid 3 would probably be more similar to the *Plus* Firm or Soft (technically somewhere right in between them, but overall a little closer to the Plus Soft). The Premier Firm is closer to the Purple 4 IMO. And the Premier Soft doesn't really have a close comparable in the previous line. I hope that's helpful.

[@Penn22MLG]

My girlfriend and i recently got the Purple Restore Soft. We never were able to try in store, but felt this would suit our needs best as combo sleepers. We have been sleeping well and have been enjoying this mattress. Our thinking was that this model was the best value for what we were getting. Do you see much benefit in going from the Restore to RestorePlus model? Enough of a benefit to equate for the price differences? Also, after adding on the mattress protector, we felt that added a tiny bit more firmness to our Restore Soft.

[@michaelmagnuson]

Hi there -- Thanks for your question. Yes, any protector that doesn't have as much stretch as the cover of this mattress is going to make the mattress feel a little firmer than it would without the protector. Re: upgrading, if you've already bought the Restore and are enjoying it, I don't see why you'd roll the dice on changing. I hope that's helpful.

[@Penn22MLG]

@@michaelmagnuson makes sense, appreciate the reply. And great job with the very thorough video review, I had been looking out for one showcasing the differences between the soft/firm versions of each model in this line and had been striking out. I’m sure many people will find this to be exceptionally helpful in making their decision(s)

[@loitersquadX]

@@Penn22MLGthe purple 4 is what u have just different name

[@nickbohl2555]

I have owned a purple restore plus for 3 sleeps now, and it's been agon my on my back. I feel like there's no support at all. It's doing exactly what you're describing in the lumbar area at 2:35, but it's causing extreme pain in my lower back.

[@goodbed]

Hey there! So three nights is not a lot of time to adjust to a mattress, although we're very sorry to hear that it's causing you pain right now. We'd probably recommend giving it a bit more time to see if your body adjusts, but if not then a different mattress might be in order.

[@nickbohl2555]

​@@goodbed I hear you on trying to give it more time, but it's not discomfort, it's pain. I can get through a night ony side but I can't lay ony back for basically any amount of time. Would side sleeping maybe help "break it in" and it's possible that could help how it supports me when I sleep on my back?

[@goodbed]

@@nickbohl2555 Possibly. We don't expect the GelGrid to break in that much, but the underlying transition foam should break in a bit and that might improve alignment over the coming days to weeks. Of course, it's also possible that the RestorePlus just isn't a good fit for you and there's too much conformance to support your lower back. If you like the feel of Purple's mattresses, but want something less conforming, then the Restore (or even Rejuvenate) might be a better fit. Hope that helps.

[@Jesse-ff6hb]

​@nickbohl2555 it's normal to have pain on any new mattress at first if it last a month the mattress is probably not for you or you need more time for your body to adjust i had a lot of pain for 4 weeks then it went away completely

[@ThomasRodriguez]

The million dollar question for me is would the plus or the premiere have a longer life before sagging issues? Is there strength in having a solid foam layer better and maybe take pressure off the springs in the long run or would individual pockets get less wear and tear somehow?

[@JohnPowali]

Hi I was thinking the same thing, not too many real use reviews out there. Is the restore plus really better than the restore premier? I'm a side sleeper who had the purple 4 that sagged on us and replacing it under warranty.

[@JohnPowali]

Also is there any value to Mattress Firms Cool touch cover? Thanks again John.

[@ThomasRodriguez]

@@JohnPowali I’m replacing my original Purple mattress under warranty for sagging which took 5 years. I ended up ordering the RestorePlus firm. It feels stiffer than in store by far, so it will take a bit to break in I think. Hopefully that lends itself to being more durable for the long haul

[@JohnPowali]

Thanks Thomas, we are afraid this one will breakdown too. We are going to Tempur-Pedic Pro Breeze

[@DropGems]

I’m a side sleeper and was debating between the plus soft, plus firm, and premier firm. All 3 are pretty similar. I had a purple 4 before though and there was too much sinkage for me with it so I wanted to error on the firm side this time and went with the plus firm. It still works for side sleeping and has really good support.

[@goodbed]

Hi there -- Thanks for your comment, and glad to hear you're happy with your choice so far. I'd certainly agree that there is a lot of similarity between the 3 models you mentioned, but the Plus Firm is certainly the firmest of the bunch. The other 2 you mentioned are indeed very similar to the Purple 4. So since you were looking for something firmer than that, it sounds like you did indeed make the right call. Also, although the Plus Firm is a Medium-Firm, it maintains deeper than average cushioning, so it should indeed still work well for many side sleepers. I hope that's helpful.

[@comradejuicer]

So I can't seem to get the mattresses I need to show up on your comparison tool, and I'm not having luck elsewhere either. We got the Purple Plus mattress, which we generally really like the feel of, but I'm mostly a back sleeper, and at 6'1" 240 lbs my butt sinks into it just enough to make my back hurt in the morning. Which of these six would you suggest to keep my side-sleeping wife happy, but offer a bit more support?

[@goodbed]

Hi there -- Thanks for your question. If you like the Purple Plus, I'd probably recommend taking a look at the Restore and Restore Plus lines rather than the Restore Premier. These 4 use a pocketed coil system with a two or three inch gel grid and will likely be a bit more supportive than the Purple Plus alone. At 6'1" and 240lbs you might be best served by one of the Firm options. Additionally, the RestorePlus has a zoned center third with firmer coils which are designed to support your hips and prevent that sinking you're describing. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the Purple Plus against the 4 Restore and Restore Plus models: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=purple-plus&mod=purple-restore-firm&mod=purple-restore-soft&mod=purple-restoreplus-firm&mod=purple-restoreplus-soft I hope that helps.

[@monarchlifestyle6299]

I am looking at these and also the doctors choice elite plush. What mattress would you recommend between doctors choice elite plush vs purple restore plus soft?

[@goodbed]

That's a great question (and a pretty specific one). I'd suggest starting with our search function, filtering by "Medium" and "Medium Soft," and then narrowing your options further with any other filters that are important to you. www.goodbed.com/mattress-models/?softness=6&softness=5 If it's helpful to see how we rate the Purple Plus Soft, or to compare mattresses you find to that one, you can do that here: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=purple-restoreplus-soft I hope that's helpful.

[@jokas1krr525]

I have Purple Hybrid 4 what's equivalent to my mattress?. I also noticed that these new mattresses have a 3inch Gel Grid, while mine has 4 inches of Gel Grid. Are these new mattresses a true upgrade?

[@goodbed]

Hey there - so there's not a direct comparison to the Purple 4. As you've noticed, many of the new models use a 3" GelGrid layer rather than a 4" one. That said, the closest model would likely be the RestorePlus Hybrid. This has a 3" GelGrid layer, but adds more foam in the transition layer and adds some subtle zoned support in the midsection to maintain alignment over the lifetime of the mattress. In terms of an upgrade - we do think these are subtle upgrades, yes. You might not notice much of a difference in the feel of the mattress, but we're more confident in the construction and materials therein. I hope that helps!

[@jokas1krr525]

@goodbed Ijust bought the Purple Restore premier cool touch from Mattress Firm. Medium. I hope it's better than my Purple Hybrid 4

[@ninibren]

What’s the best one for pressure relief? I have a lot of chronic pain. I have four auto immune diseases. I have systemic lupus, room with arthritis, Sjogren’s disease, and fibromyalgia. Right now I have a memory foam mattress, but I really want to get it right this time with my new mattress, we’re looking at the purple restore, but I just wonder if, I should go up to the more expensive mattress the ones above the restore.

[@goodbed]

So this is a bit tricky. The Purple Gel Grid is a very unique material, and it's tough to predict how people will respond to it. That said, if your primary concern is pressure relief the Rejuvenate Line is probably going to be the best option, as these use soft and conforming foams above the Gel Grid to maximize pressure relief. You can actually compare these with our compare tool here if you'd like: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=purple-rejuvenate&mod=purple-restoreplus-firm

[@omsbythedozem]

Just got the plus firm and it feels a bit too hard for me. Would you recommend the plus soft or the Premier form for a stomach sleeper?

[@goodbed]

How long have you had the Plus Firm? The two inches of transition foam in that is likely to soften somewhat during the break-in period. Otherwise, you could try the Plus Soft, though this might be too soft for you. The Premier Firm might also work, though this is a totally different coil/support unit, so it might feel very different than the Plus Firm you have currently.

[@omsbythedozem]

@@goodbed had it about three weeks

[@goodbed]

​@@omsbythedozem I might recommend giving it a bit more time then. Both the Plus Soft and the Premier Firm are Medium's on our softness spectrum, which means they could still work for a stomach sleeper (especially if you're on the lighter side), but would be on the soft end of what we'd recommend for stomach sleeping. The Premier Firm is slightly firmer of the two (so in this way, a bit better for stomach sleeping), but also has that unique coil system which is designed to provide more conformance, which is a benefit for many people but not really for stomach sleepers. Given that, I'd probably say the Plus Soft is your best backup option. Hope that's helpful.

[@ThomasRodriguez]

I recommend considering wear and tear over years time. It may seem firm now... how will it feel in even just a year? Beds are so tricky. If Purple were smart they would make it so the premier has coil replacement kits so you can refresh certain areas over the years to account for this. In fact I am surprised with the idea of pocket coils this isnt a thing for all beds.

[@karimartin6317]

@goodbed So, we got the premier soft and there is absolutely no support. We’re warranting it, as it already has the sag necessary for a warranty. We used to have the purple 4. Watching you on the premier firm still looks too soft and the edge seems to be higher than the rest. Should I look at the plus soft for more support? I’m thinking the zones coils may be the way to go?

[@loitersquadX]

I have a long question so please bare with me. I have a purple 3, but gave it to my grandma , I currently am sleeping on a sleep number but this bed is TERRIBLE, I hated all my tempur pedics but I went to the store and tried out some new beds and decided to go with a nectar hybrid premier copper. However the purple 4 was my favorite and I laid on it with my wife for over 30 minutes. If I don’t like the nectar I’m going to return it but I was going to ask is there any difference between the new purple and the hybrid premier 4? Is there any difference in build quality or feel? And which one should I buy if I go with purple ? Because they have the new rejuvenate beds as well. What are the differences? Sorry for this being long. Overall I’m basically wanting something like the purple 4 or better .

[@goodbed]

So yep, there are some pretty significant differences. Generally the newer models use a bit less gel grid and a bit more foam. And while this might sound like a negative, we don't think it is. Instead, the foam and gel grid work to complement one another and lead to a balaned and more nuanced feel that we think is pretty comfortable. These also add zoned support on many models. As to which to buy - this is hard question to answer. These models are a bit different and there's not a parallel model in the new line, though you might consider the RestorePlus and the Rejuvenate?

[@loitersquadX]

@@goodbed thank you, I ended up buying a nectar hybrid premier copper , I hope it's better than the purple hybrid premier 4. If you ever get a chance to compare the purple hybrid 4 to these new ones make a video please I want to get the one most similar to the purple 4 or even purple 3

[@goodbed]

@@loitersquadX The Purple 3 would be closest to either the Plus Firm or Plus Soft. Technically it would fall somewhere in between them, but overall it's a little closer to the Plus Soft. The feel of the Purple 4 would probably be closest to the Premier Firm. I hope that's helpful.

[@jokas1krr525]

I own the Purple Hybrid 4 and I am giving it to my mom. I love that bed honestly but the RestorePremier Cool Touch Medium is truly better. It's a great combination of Soft with great support that the Hybrid 4 was missing. It also has better edge support and that cool touch top is amazing. The Hybrid 4 is a great bed also. Mattress Firm is the only store that has the medium version with Cool Touch. The Purple store has the same bed but only in Soft or Firm with no Cool Touch.

[@azaddonikian1265]

Hello, I'm deciding between the Restore Plus Soft and Restore Plus Firm in Full. I currently have the Soft and wondering if the softness is creating aches and pains and discomfort in my body and lower back (wanted to add that the adjustable base may be causing these problems also as I had several other medium beds that had the same problem). I go to sleep mostly on my side but usually end up on my back. Heavyset at 245 lbs, 5'7" so what mattress would you advise? I've had the Restore Plus Soft for about a month but thinking to go with the Firm model. Any thoughts?

[@goodbed]

You might give the Soft just a bit more time to see if that helps, but if it doesn't then the Firm could be a good next step, yes. That firmer foam layer will provide just a bit more support.

[@ThomasRodriguez]

As a bigger guy I would say aches and pains are often attributed to improper support. I am likely replacing my original purple with the RestorePlus firm so I get better pressure point relieve at the surface but stronger support below. My bed was pretty decent for the first few years but has essentially worn out at 5 years and sags in the middle now. I am hoping the introduction of coils in these hybrids will help maintain similar feel and support for more years. The good news is I am getting warranty credits toward the new bed.

[@war5561]

I haven’t watched the video yet but I got a purple and we didn’t like it. Too soft for him and too firm for me. The RETURN process was annoying if I have paid like 2k for a mattress I should be able to just return it without taking all these pictures and folding my mattress in half and these things.

[@karimartin6317]

I would suggest folks stay away from the premier soft. NO support whatsoever and had 1” of sinkage with nothing in it (met Purple’s warranty requirements) immediately and just got worse.

[@goodbed]

Hi Kari -- Yeah, as we talk about in the video, that particular model is for a pretty specific type of sleeper who wants to really max out the cushioning depth and conformance. For people who don't like or want this, such as yourself, it will feel like this particular model doesn't have nearly enough support. The Premier Firm is quite a bit different in this regard.

[@blessedmamato3]

@@goodbed Thank you! Would the premier firm or the Plus soft be more supportive for side sleeping?

[@goodbed]

@@blessedmamato3 Both of those models are good for side sleeping, and they have fairly similar overall feels as well. So it will really just come down to your needs and preferences on the margin. The Premier will have a little bit of memory feel, for example, and perhaps slightly better pressure relief. But if you also spend a lot of time on your back or stomach (especially the latter), then I'd probably lean toward the Plus. Here's a full side-by-side comparison of all our assessments of these two models: www.goodbed.com/compare/?mod=purple-restoreplus-soft&mod=purple-restorepremier-firm

@@blessedmamato3 I don't have big worries about either one in terms of how they'll hold up, but certainly there is less long-term durability data available for the new foam-hat coils. So on that basis, I'd give a slight nod to the Restore Plus Soft.
