Investing in a quality mattress or a supportive pillow is one of the most important things you can do for healthy living. Using the wrong mattress or pillow could compromise your sleep quality every night. It can lead to grogginess, body pains, and an overall decrease in quality of life. After all, you (hopefully) spend around eight hours a day sleeping, which adds up to one-third of your life. Over the years, our editors have tested a variety of mattresses, and Purple is always a favorite.

It is a hyper-elastic polymer that provides adaptive support and comfort, ideal for pressure relief, cooling, and durability. Purple's GelFlex Grid is both soft and firm, delivering a cradle-like experience that provides support where you need it without feeling too stiff.

Best Purple Pillow For Adjustable Feel
Purple TwinCloud Pillow ($79, originally $99)
Purple's TwinCloud Pillow is made for those who want both firm and soft options. This pillow has a two-in-one design that offers a soft feel on one side and a firm feel on the other. It has a zippered design that lets you adjust pillow height or use it to cushion your arms between the layers. It's hypoallergenic with down alternative fibers and a breathable cotton cover.
Editor Quote: "Since I like flatter and more fluffy options, I almost always use the softer side. When I'm lying on my stomach I'm even able to wrap my arms up into the middle of the pillow, which is honestly really cozy. Here's where it gets interesting though. My favorite thing to do with it is actually unzip it. After unzipping it from one side, I have one super large pillow. One with a soft and firmer side, but a much flatter version. I can't emphasize enough how much I love sleeping with it like this." — Krista Jones, former editor, Shopping

It also has a moisture-wicking cover that's antimicrobial to keep you dry and cool. This mattress leans more medium-firm, but you can choose between a soft or a firm feel, depending on your preferences. The brand recommends the soft option if you are a side sleeper.
Editor Quote: "I've experienced one too many mornings where I wake up with a knot in my neck or with pain in my back — that is, until I slept on Purple's RestorePremiere mattress. In fact, the first night I slept on this mattress, I was blissfully asleep for a full 10 hours. And every night since, I've slept like a baby and woken up with barely any aches or pains . . . As someone who tends to toss and turn, it truly conforms to my body, whether I sleep on my side, back, or even stomach. I can feel the mattress respond to my body, providing the right amount of support and keeping my body aligned yet cradled." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Shopping

Best Cloud-Like Mattress From Purple
Purple RejuvenatePremier Mattress ($6,795, originally $7,495)
The Purple RejuvenatePremier Mattress is the brand's top-of-the-line model, offering superior comfort and two layers of the Gelflex Grid. Its base consists of a five-zone coil system for full-body support. This, along with the dual Gelflex layers, delivers optimal body alignment and pressure relief no matter how your body moves throughout the night. It offers support and responsiveness without compromising on cloud-like comfort. This mattress is topped with a quilted Euro top for a luxurious, plush feel, and it has a Talalay latex layer for an airy, temperature-balancing feel.
Editor Quote: "I know that those who experience back pain should generally opt for something that feels medium-firm, and the pillowy Euro top was definitely a bit too cushiony for my liking when I pressed into it with my fingers. Ultimately, I was unsure if the multiple layers underneath would combine to offer enough support to keep my body straight and aligned, rather than cradled. However, after just three nights, I realized that the durability of this extra-thick mattress runs deep." — Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, Shopping
