Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience. 100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber. Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.
The Smart Comfort Grid is crafted from high-quality Hyper-Elastic Polymer that's made proudly in the U.S.A. This ultra-durable, non-toxic material never breaks down, so you stay nice and comfy now and forevermore. Temperature-neutral so you sleep cool. Purple® Smart Comfort Grid™ Personalized comfort and support that adapts to your unique body type and sleep position. Allows for plenty of temperature-neutralizing air movement under and around you for consistently cool comfort all night.
Support
We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.
The most scientifically advanced mattress in the world. Designed to intelligently adapt to your body's unique pressure points for superior, personalized comfort. Responsive support coils enhance the body-alignment properties of the Smart Comfort Grid™ and minimize motion transfer. It is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so your shoulders and hips are properly cradled and supported. No pressure all night. No pain come morning.
