As a Senior Analyst in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, Purple mattresses are some of the most unique and innovative beds I’ve come across. And if you’ve been curious to try one yourself, you’re in luck: Purple has early Labor Day offers (running now through September 15). Plus, GH readers exclusively get a special code that may get you a better price on select items.
The deets: Our exclusive code (GH2026) gets you 20% off sitewide, and it’s live now through September 8 (so, don’t wait too long to shop). In some cases, our exclusive discount gets you a better deal than the brand’s public sale. And with our code, you can get a discount on any item across the site—including all mattresses, Purple pillows, seat cushions, and overall bedding—which isn’t the case for public sale.
If you’re specifically looking to upgrade your mattress, I recommend using the special discount on the PurpleFlex Mattress. It’s not part of Purple’s public sale, and it’s a great option for hot sleepers.
I’ve been testing mattresses in the Textiles Lab for nearly five years, but Purple’s mattresses stand out for its comfort and support. The first time I ever slept on a Purple mattress, I was pleasantly taken aback: the elastic top layer (Purple’s GelFlex Grid) truly has a one-of-a-kind feel.
The GelFlex Grid manages to do everything you’d expect from completely different types of mattresses: It cradles you like memory foam to relieve pressure points, but it also evenly distributes your weight for proper support like latex. The grid adapts to your body and buckles in certain areas (for firmer support) based on your weight. Plus, it’s breathable and responsive like coils, without being squeaky.

Also eligible for the discount is The Purple Mattress—which testers found to be comfortable, pressure-relieving, and breathable. After testing several mattresses, one tester shared, “This is the first one [that] we both woke [up] with no pain.”
Another favorite from our tests was the Rejuvenate Mattress, which was a Good Housekeeping 2026 Bedding Awards winner. Testers found it firm yet adaptive and reported it kept them feeling cool.
When we tested the best pillows in the Textiles Lab, we rated the Purple Harmony Pillow as the best pick for hot sleepers. It’s actually the pillow I sleep on because the responsive support is great for my neck and shoulder pain, and it’s super breathable.
The Purple GridCloud Pillow was a Good Housekeeping 2026 Bedding Awards winner as well, with one of our testers saying, “The first thing I noticed was how different it feels from a regular pillow. The grid texture gives this soft, buoyant support that cradles my head without feeling flat or stiff.”
We’ve also evaluated seat cushions and were impressed by the Purple Double Seat Cushion and Purple Royal Seat Cushion. These seat cushions also use the brand’s GelFlex Grid, which helps prevent your bum from sweating and feels cushioning to sit on.
Are Purple mattresses worth it?
Purple’s mattresses and pillows are pricier than most standard bed-in-a-box and all-foam competitors; but, when they’re on sale, they are most certainly worth it.
Purple mattresses have excellent breathability, ventilation, pressure relief, weight distribution, and adequate support. Over 200 Purple mattress owners and our consumer testers liked that the bed felt supportive yet pressure-relieving and that they stayed cool throughout the night.
What is the best Purple mattress?
The Purple Mattress is the most popular, and it’s an excellent option for medium firmness. If you’re partial to something softer, opt for the Purple Plus, and if you prefer a firmer feel, consider the PurpleFlex. Each use the brand’s iconic GelFlex Grid, just with different layers of foam for different firmness levels.
Can you return a Purple mattress?
Yes! Purple offers a 100-night sleep trial for its mattresses, but make sure to read the terms and conditions. You must try the mattress for at least 21 days first, but then you can return it free of charge. There’s also a limited 10-year warranty, but that only covers manufacturer defects.
So, if you’ve been wanting to try a mattress from Purple or you’re a hot sleeper looking for a breathable mattress, now’s the time. Just remember to use code GH2026 for our exclusive 20% discount for Good Housekeeping readers.
