Purple Restore Hybrid is a hybrid mattress made by Purple Innovations. It features excellent edge support and a layer of GelFlex Grid® technology, which is meant to provide good pressure-point relief. The mattress can only be purchased directly from Purple, which doesn’t ship to Canada.
Purple offers only an industry-average 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty. The mattress also lacks advanced cooling features for added nighttime comfort. Combined with the difficulty that Canadian shoppers will experience when buying this mattress, it’s hard to justify the higher-than-average cost of $3,433 for a queen size.
In comparison, competing mattress Octave Vista comes with more pressure-point relief, innovative five-zoned support, and advanced cooling technologies for quality rest. You also get a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, all for just $899 for a queen size. With Octave, you get a more refreshing sleep and much better 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.

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.
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. Purple also 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’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.
Consider competitor mattress Octave Vista. This mattress also offers pressure-point relief and an innovative five-zoned support system for extra support beneath your back, hips, and knees. Vista comes with advanced cooling features like a cooling nanofibre cover, ventilated foam for breathability, phase-change material to keep temperatures comfortable, and a copper infusion in the memory foam to conduct heat away from your body.
Vista is far more affordably priced at $899 for a queen size, with a much longer 365-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty. If Octave can offer all of this value for almost a quarter of the cost, it’s not clear why Purple can’t do the same.

Purple Restore Hybrid only ships within the United States and is not available for purchase in Canada. It can only be purchased if you organize cross-border shipping with a third-party courier like we did. This shipping can take several weeks and you may run into other delays. For example, the first time we tried to order Purple Restore Hybrid, it was lost during shipping and arrived shortly after the replacement mattress.
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.
It’s not clear whether you can use the sleep trial and warranty if you live in Canada. Even if that’s the case, you would need to ship the mattress back to Purple yourself.
In comparison, other premium mattresses like Octave Vista come with a much longer 365-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty. This makes it easy and risk-free to test the mattress at home. If you decide to return an Octave mattress, the company arranges free return pickup with a full refund. Your mattress is also donated to a local charity or recycled, depending on what options are available where you live.

Purple Restore Hybrid stands 11.5″ tall and has 3 interior layers. The brand’s proprietary 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 isn’t meant to be removed and isn’t machine washable. It must be spot-cleaned only. In fact, removing the cover may void Purple Restore Hybrid’s warranty. (In comparison, other premium mattresses like Octave Vista come with a removable, machine-washable top cover for convenient cleaning and a more refreshing sleep surface.)

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 “Bad”. 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.

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 $3,433 for a queen size, this mattress doesn’t feel worth the cost.
We recommend Octave Vista instead. It provides excellent pressure-point relief and advanced cooling features for a more restful, refreshing sleep. The mattress comes with a machine-washable cover for easy cleaning.
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 greater pressure-point relief, innovative five-zoned support, and advanced cooling features for a more refreshing sleep. It even has a machine-washable cover. These features come at a much lower cost—just $899 for a queen size, compared to $3,433 for Purple Restore Hybrid.
Purple Restore Hybrid costs $2,861–$5,722 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 $3,433. (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 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. It’s not clear whether this mattress is available to Canadian customers, either.
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. (In comparison, competitor mattress Octave Vista comes with a machine-washable cover for easy cleaning.)
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. It’s also not clear whether the warranty is available to Canadian customers who ship the mattress across the border from the United States.
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 more pressure-point relief, five-zoned support, and advanced cooling technologies so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. You’ll also get a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle with your purchase.
