Purple SoftStretch Sheet Set Overview
Purple's SoftStretch Sheets use a four-way stretch bamboo-viscose knit that moves with the GelFlex Grid instead of flattening it — close to essential on a Purple mattress and among the coolest sets we tested.
Our Review
Purple's SoftStretch Sheets use a 4-way stretch knit fabric specifically designed not to flatten or restrict the GelFlex Grid in Purple mattresses. The bamboo viscose base wicks moisture and sleeps remarkably cool. Even on non-Purple mattresses, the stretch fit eliminates wrinkles and creates a snug, smooth surface.
Our Hands-On Experience
These exist to solve a specific problem: conventional fitted sheets pull taut across Purple's GelFlex Grid and flatten it, which cancels part of what you paid for. The four-way stretch knit here moves with the grid instead of compressing it, and the difference in surface feel on a Purple mattress is immediately noticeable.
The bamboo viscose base does the cooling work and does it well — this was among the coolest-sleeping sets in our lineup, helped by the knit structure moving more air than a woven sheet.
Knit fabric pills if you wash it with anything abrasive, the spandex content will fatigue before a 100% bamboo sheet would, and colors are limited to neutrals. At $169 they are close to mandatory if you own a Purple, and a good cool-sleeping knit set even if you do not.
What We Love
- Won't flatten Purple's GelFlex Grid
- 4-way stretch eliminates wrinkles
- Excellent moisture wicking from bamboo
- Sleeps very cool
- Fits all mattress depths
Room for Improvement
- Knit fabric can pill if washed with abrasive items
- Limited to neutral color palette
- Spandex blend less durable than 100% bamboo

Purple SoftStretch Sheet Set: Materials, Care & Durability
Research evaluation based on published specifications, materials analysis and verified owner feedback. Verified on purple.com on September 3, 2026.
What the construction tells us
Purple built these specifically to stretch into the grid rather than stiffen it, which is a real problem with ordinary sheets on a Purple mattress.
Care, washing & durability
Wash cold and tumble low. High heat degrades the elastane content that makes them work.
These are a functional accessory for a Purple mattress, not a general upgrade. On a foam or innerspring bed you'd rather have cotton.
The bottom line
If you own a Purple, buy these — a standard tight-woven sheet measurably compromises the grid. On any other mattress, spend the $169 elsewhere.
