Lab Verdict
Cooling was a wash — both mattresses landed within half a degree of each other after 60 minutes of body heat. Motion isolation was roughly equivalent; either is safe for a partnered sleeper. The Purple Hybrid Premier relieved more shoulder pressure for side sleepers (29 mmHg vs. 31 mmHg). Perimeter compression was nearly identical — neither bed is the obvious pick on edge support alone. Purple Hybrid Premier returned more energy on rebound (58% vs. 40%), favoring combo sleepers.
