Purple Restore Hybrid is a hybrid mattress made by Purple Innovations. This mattress features a layer of GelFlex Grid technology and excellent edge support. It can only be purchased directly from Purple, which doesn’t ship to Canada.
Purple offers an industry-average 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty. The mattress also lacks advanced cooling features and pressure-point relief. These features—and the difficulty buying this mattress—aren’t enough to justify the cost of $3,270 for a queen size.
Consider a competing mattress like Octave Vista instead. Octave comes with advanced cooling and pressure-point relief, a 365-night sleep trial, and a 15-year warranty. Priced at just $899 for a queen size, Octave offers much more value for a fraction of the cost.
Note: For the purposes of this review, we purchased a mattress directly from Purple and had it shipped internationally. This model is not available for sale in Canada.
Determined by how much the mattress sinks under applied weight. The lower the score out of 10, the softer the mattress.
6.4 /10
Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.
9.5 /10
Determined by measuring a medicine ball’s impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.
7.5 /10
Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.
7.8 /10
Determined by entering a mattress’s cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

Purple Restore Hybrid is 11.5″ tall and is available in two firmness options, Soft and Firm. We ordered the Firm version for this review. However, third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us) proved that the mattress has a medium-firm feel, making it softer than advertised. The mattress also has excellent edge support and very good motion isolation.
Purple’s main selling feature is the GelFlex® Grid in the top layer. It’s famously marketed using the company’s well-known “egg test.” This polymer grid is engineered to provide soft, supportive pressure-point relief. But while pressure-point relief is important in a mattress, it’s just one part of what makes a mattress comfortable.
The Purple Restore Hybrid mattress cover is made from polyester, rayon, elastic, and an unknown “sheath/core” polymer yarn. The cover isn’t machine washable.
Note that Purple states the mattress is too heavy to be used with a traditional box spring, or even certain bed frames. In fact, the law label on the mattress we purchased says Purple Restore Hybrid is designed to be used without a foundation.

Purple offers a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty for Purple Restore Hybrid. The warranty only covers manufacturing defects. It’s also voided if you remove the mattress cover. The cover also has its own 2-year warranty, but this is only for manufacturing defects.

Purple Restore Hybrid stands 11.5″ tall and has 3 interior layers. The GelFlex® Grid and all foam layers are CertiPUR-US® and CleanAir GOLD certified.
Purple Restore Hybrid’s SoftFlex cover is made using polyester, rayon, elastic, and a synthetic “sheath/core” polymer yarn that Purple doesn’t share further details about. It’s designed to be breathable and anti-microbial.
Although the mattress cover has a zipper, it is not meant to be removed and isn’t machine-washable. It must be spot-cleaned only. Removing the cover may void Purple Restore Hybrid’s warranty.

Purple was founded in 2015 by brothers Tony and Terry Pearce in Alpine, Utah. The Pearce brothers had experience creating advanced synthetic materials for the medical tech and aerospace industries. They incorporated their Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ into Purple’s mattress designs, making it a signature part of their brand.
In 2017, Purple merged with Global Partner Acquisition Corp. Purple has also been working to expand its market outside of the United States, entering into a partnership with Sleep Country Canada.
Purple is rated “A+” on Better Business Bureau. However, Purple scores much worse on Trustpilot, where the company’s unclaimed profile is rated “Poor”. Customer reviews indicate that Purple’s mattresses can sag and degrade well before the end of the company’s 10-year warranty. Reviews also mention issues making warranty claims, as well as problems with customer service.
Shop Octave Vista, the company that’s rated “A+” on BBB and “Excellent” on Trustpilot.
Purple Restore Hybrid has good edge support, and the GelFlex Grid is an interesting feature. But Purple lacks cooling features and a machine-washable cover, its sleep trial and warranty are only industry standard, and it’s hard to buy in Canada. At $3,270 for a queen size, this mattress doesn’t feel worth the cost. We recommend Octave Vista instead.
Octave Vista has a machine-washable cover, excellent pressure-point relief, and advanced cooling features like cooling gel foam and phase-change material. Octave also offers more value with a 365-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, and free bedding bundle—all for just $899 for a queen size.
While some customers love their Purple mattresses, this brand isn’t available to Canadians. We find far more value in Octave Vista. Octave provides more cooling features, zoned support, and pressure-point relief, as well as a machine-washable cover. These features come at a much lower cost—just $899 for a queen size, compared to $3,270 for Purple Restore Hybrid.
Purple Restore Hybrid costs $2,724–$5,449 CAD, depending on the size you choose. The mattress is available in sizes ranging from twin XL to California king. A queen-size Purple Restore Hybrid costs $3,270. (In comparison, competitor mattress Octave Vista costs just $899 for a queen size.)
No, Purple only offers shipping within the United States. We had to purchase and ship the mattress through our international shipping channels. This isn’t an option for many Canadians.
Purple Restore Hybrid weighs between 72 lb (twin XL) and 144 lb (72 lb x 2) (split king), depending on which size you get. A queen-size Purple Restore Hybrid weighs 114 lb. This is heavier than many mattresses but is not the heaviest mattress we’ve ever reviewed. (For reference, Octave Vista weighs just 69 lb.) Even so, we found this mattress to be unusually hard to move.
Purple offers an industry standard 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. However, negative customer reviews on Trustpilot complain that Purple’s mattresses can sag and degrade well before the end of the warranty. Reviews also mention issues making warranty claims.
No. Like most modern mattresses, Purple mattresses are not designed to be flipped. They’re only designed to work right-side up.
Purple recommends not using a box spring with Purple Restore Hybrid. A box spring doesn’t give the mattress enough support. In fact, the law label on the mattress we purchased said that Purple Restore Hybrid isn’t meant to be used with a foundation at all.
No, Purple mattresses don’t contain fiberglass. When we checked the law label on our Purple Restore Hybrid, fiberglass wasn’t listed among the materials used. Purple uses rayon and an unspecified fire-resistant material to meet fire safety requirements.
No. Although the mattress cover has a zipper, the cover is not meant to be removed and is not machine-washable. Removing the cover for any reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Instead, Purple recommends spot-cleaning the mattress cover with upholstery detergent.
Purple’s 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty covers defects in workmanship. The warranty will cover body indentations greater than 1″ and any damage resulting from faulty material or assembly. The warranty doesn’t cover any other types of damage, including damage incurred during shipping.
Note that the mattress cover has a separate, shorter 2-year warranty. Like the main mattress warranty, this warranty only covers defects in workmanship and material.
We find more value in Octave Vista. Octave offers far more features at a much lower price of just $899 for a queen size. Vista comes with advanced cooling, pressure-point relief, zoned support, and a machine-washable cover. You’ll also get a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle with your purchase.
