After 5 years of sleeping on the Purple Hybrid Premier 3 mattress, I needed to swap it out for a special mattress. As my time with the mattress is coming to an finish, I’m right here to share my ideas on this mattress and supply some issues to contemplate when trying on the mattress for your self.
One factor I appreciated about this mattress is its distinctive really feel. All Purple mattresses have a Purple GelFlex Grid that helps relieve strain. This proprietary cushioning expertise offers this mattress a snug really feel like no different.
Before I get into the nitty-gritty, it is essential to notice that the Purple mattress I’ve slept on for 5 years is now not accessible. Purple has up to date its complete lineup, however speaking about my expertise sleeping on this explicit mattress remains to be helpful as a result of a few of the new Purple beds have the same really feel.
The Purple Hybrid Premier 3 was certainly one of Purple’s top-tier mattresses.
First impressions
Whenever anybody tries out a Purple mattress for the primary time, they’ve a powerful response, someway. Some individuals instantly fall in love with the sensation whereas others assume it is too unusual — primarily as a result of the Purple Hybrid Premier mattress (or any Purple mattress for that matter) might be in contrast to any mattress you have tried prior to now because of the Purple GelFlex Grid.
When I first tried the Purple Hybrid Premier mattress, I believed, “This is so comfy. I’ve by no means tried something this comfy earlier than, and I actually wanna sleep on this factor.” Five years later, you get used to the sensation, and the Purple mattress feels extra like a responsive, cozy mattress.
The firmness and really feel of the Purple Hybrid Premier 3
Feel
The very first thing we begin with when discussing Purple beds is the proprietary consolation layer referred to as the Purple GelFlex Grid.
Over the years that I’ve slept on this mattress, its title has modified a number of occasions, however the materials has remained the identical. This stretchy, squishy, responsive materials nearly resembles Dr. Scholl’s insole. It’s primarily Purple’s bread and butter and has a singular really feel that may take some getting used to once you first begin sleeping on the mattress.

Firmness
The Purple Hybrid Premier 3 got here in just one firmness choice. When my workforce and I examined it, we discovered it to be round a medium, which works effectively for me as a result of I’m extra of a facet and again sleeper. However, Purple just lately revamped its mattress assortment to offer extra selections.
Now, once you try a brand new Purple Restore mattress, you’ll be able to select between tender or agency.
Who’s the Purple Hybrid Premier greatest for?
Sleeping place
I usually go to sleep on my facet, however I typically get up on my again or facet. Rotating between sleeping positions on a Purple mattress feels easy, which helps me have fewer disruptions through the evening. The Purple Hybrid Premier accommodated each my sleeping positions because of its medium firmness degree.
Body kind
I’m a bit heavier, which suggests I felt the Purple Hybrid Premier 3 to be slightly softer than a medium. This labored out effectively for me as a result of I primarily sleep on my facet, and facet sleepers usually choose softer beds. My sleeping companion, alternatively, is extra of a abdomen sleeper, and regardless that they’re lighter than me, they did develop some minor again ache over time and would’ve been higher served by a barely firmer mattress (which now we have now). This simply goes to point out how subjective firmness could be.

Motion isolation
The responsive nature of the Purple mattress is one thing I loved your complete time as a result of I’m a facet and mixture sleeper. That stated, it is not one thing my sleeping companion appreciated as a result of my tossing and turning generally woke them up in the course of the evening. However, I would not say that was due to the mattress’s incapability to isolate movement. The responsiveness is simply one thing you may must cope with in the event you’re somebody who tosses and turns quite a bit at evening. If that is the case and your companion is a light-weight sleeper, a reminiscence foam mattress that deters you from tossing and turning could be a greater proposition.

Temperature
Purple loves to speak about how effectively these beds regulate temperature on its web site. There aren’t any Purple beds that our testing workforce would classify as “energetic cooling,” however because of that GelFlex Grid materials, the Purple beds do sleep temperature-neutral.
I slept on this factor for a number of scorching summers and did not actually have temperature points. I might nonetheless must crank the AC in my bed room when it acquired tremendous scorching throughout July and August, however the mattress did a strong job of regulating temperature. I believe that’ll be one thing you may take pleasure in a couple of Purple mattress in the event you determine to get one for your self.
Durability
Purple additionally likes to level out the sturdiness of its mattresses, and I agree with this to a sure extent.
The GelFlex materials goes to be probably the most sturdy. Unlike sure foams, I do not see that stuff degrading over time. The remainder of the mattress had the identical elements you’d discover in most different mattresses, like coils and foams, and people will degrade over time. However, I did not discover it within the 5 years I slept on this mattress. The guarantee is 10 years, so I did not count on to see any sturdiness points after solely 5 years. At least till the 10-year mark, I believe the GelFlex Grid materials would maintain up effectively.
Final ideas
I haven’t got something important to complain about with the Purple Hybrid Premier 3. I slept nice for a very long time, and we’re swapping it out primarily as a result of my companion needs to attempt one thing else. Finding a mattress that satisfies two various kinds of sleepers is difficult, and it could actually take lots of trial and error to seek out one which works for each individuals.
I did not expertise any persistent aches and pains throughout your complete five-year span of sleeping on the Purple Hybrid Premier 3. I’m not somebody who usually has aches and pains, nevertheless it’s value noting that I’m nonetheless again pain-free regardless of being in my 30s. I believe that has much less to do with the mattress itself and extra with the truth that its firmness degree works effectively for me and my private sleeping preferences.
My physique adjusted to the Purple mattress’s distinctive really feel very quickly. Most mattress manufacturers supply a minimum of a 100-night trial interval, which Purple affords. I like to recommend making the most of that trial interval to check out a Purple mattress and see if it is best for you.
It’s the top of an period for me and my companion, however we’re excited in regards to the new Purple mattress lineup. Our CNET sleep specialists have totally examined and reviewed Purple’s new lineup, so you’ll want to try these evaluations and movies in the event you’re occupied with certainly one of its new beds.
