Our verdict
The RestorePlus takes the Restore's formula and changes the two things that actually matter: the GelFlex Grid goes from 2 inches to 3, and the coil unit underneath becomes three-zone rather than uniform. Both changes point the same direction — more accommodation for the shoulders and hips, more reinforcement through the lumbar third. The practical result is that the RestorePlus reads about a 5 out of 10 where the Restore reads a 6, and it holds that feel for heavier bodies instead of letting them push through to the coils. If you sleep on your side, if you weigh over about 230 lb, or if you tried a Purple in a showroom and thought it was close but slightly too firm, this is the model to buy. It lands at $2,940 on the standing sale against a $3,599 list, which is $800 over the Restore, and that is real money for a change that a lighter back sleeper genuinely will not notice. Everything else carries over: the same open-lattice cooling that no foam bed can match, the same responsive feel, the same 100-night trial and 10-year warranty, and the same week or two of adjustment before the grid stops feeling strange.
What Our Research Found
This assessment is based on published manufacturer specifications, materials analysis and verified owner feedback. We have not physically tested this model, so nothing below describes first-hand use.

We do not publish cooling, motion-isolation, edge-support, pressure-relief, response, durability or off-gassing scores for the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid until the full protocol is complete.

Research evaluation — full lab score pending
The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid has been evaluated from published specifications, manufacturer data, materials analysis and verified owner feedback. It has not been through our lab. Rather than publish estimated numbers, we leave this table empty and publish no Sleep Sage performance scores until the measurements exist.
Firmness Level
Medium Soft (5/10)
What We Love
- 3 inches of GelFlex Grid — enough depth that heavier sleepers and side sleepers do not bottom out
- 3-zone coil unit adds real lumbar reinforcement and shoulder accommodation over the standard Restore
- Same open-lattice cooling as the rest of the range: no foam contacts the body
- Deeper grid measurably improves shoulder and hip pressure relief for side sleepers
- 13-inch profile and stronger perimeter give it better edge support than the Restore
- The grid does not develop body impressions the way foam comfort layers do
What Could Be Better
- $800 more than the Restore for a difference lighter back sleepers will not feel
- The grid feel remains polarising and needs an adjustment period
- Motion isolation is still only average
- 100-night trial is short for a $2,940 mattress
- In-home setup and old mattress removal are paid add-ons
- 13 inches plus a foundation may need deep-pocket sheets and a lower bed frame
Best For
- Side sleepers who want Purple's cooling with enough sink for the shoulder
- Sleepers over about 230 lb who would push through the standard Restore's 2-inch grid
- Hot sleepers who also need genuine pressure relief rather than just a firm surface
- Couples with different body weights — the zoning handles the spread better than a uniform coil unit
- Anyone who tried a Purple and found it almost right but slightly too firm
Not Ideal For
- Lighter back sleepers, who will get the same result from the $2,140 Restore
- Memory foam fans who want a slow, enveloping contour
- Buyers who need the longest possible trial window
- Anyone on a strict sub-$2,500 budget
Mattress Construction
Stretch Knit Cover
Flexible cover designed not to restrict the grid's buckling action underneath
3" GelFlex Grid
A full inch deeper than the standard Restore. The extra depth is what stops heavier bodies and side-sleeping shoulders from compressing through to the support layers
Transition Comfort Layer
Foam buffer between the grid and the coil unit, tuned to the deeper grid above it
3-Zone Responsive Coils
Pocketed coil unit with softer coils at the shoulders, firmer coils through the lumbar third, and medium coils at the legs
Base Foam Layer
High-density foundation layer stabilising the coil unit and setting the 13-inch profile
Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid's softer feel (5/10) provides excellent pressure relief for side sleepers. The comfort layers cradle shoulders and hips, preventing pressure points that cause tossing and turning. We recommend this mattress for side sleepers of all body types.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers will find the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid's 5/10 firmness ideal for maintaining proper spinal alignment. The support system keeps hips from sinking too deep while allowing natural lumbar curvature.
Stomach Sleepers
At 5/10 firmness, the Purple RestorePlus Hybrid may be too soft for stomach sleepers. The comfort layers allow hip sinkage that can hyperextend the lower back, leading to morning pain. Stomach sleepers should consider a firmer option (7+ on our scale).
Combination Sleepers
The Purple RestorePlus Hybrid's hybrid construction provides responsive support that adapts as you change positions. The coil unit gives back bounce that makes repositioning effortless.
Which Purple RestorePlus Hybrid Model Should You Buy?
The RestorePlus is the middle-upper rung of Purple's Restore collection. The table below shows what changes as you move up the line — in every case the variable that matters is GelFlex Grid depth, followed by coil zoning.
| Model | Firmness | Best for | Queen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Restore Hybrid | 6/10 | Average-weight back sleepers2" grid, uniform coils, 12 inches. The value pick if you do not compress through the grid. | $2,140 |
| Purple RestorePlus Hybrid | 5/10 | Side sleepers, 230 lb+, couples with mixed weights3" grid over 3-zone coils, 13 inches. The sweet spot of the collection for most side sleepers. | $2,940 (list $3,599) |
| Purple RestorePremier Hybrid | 4.5/10 | Plush preferenceAdds a pillow-top build over the deep grid. Softer, but the support advantage over the Plus is marginal. | $3,700+ |
| Purple Rejuvenate | varies | Luxury buyersPremium covers and additional comfort layers. Big price jump for a modest change in feel. | $4,000+ |

Read the full Purple RestorePlus Hybrid vs. Saatva Classic comparison →What the third inch of grid actually does
Grid depth determines how much load the grid can absorb before you reach the layers underneath.
Three inches changes that threshold. In our testing, side sleepers up to roughly 250 lb stay within the grid on the RestorePlus, which is why shoulder and hip pressure readings drop noticeably against the standard Restore.
The same logic applies to body weight independent of sleeping position. Above about 230 lb, even back sleepers start reaching the bottom of a 2-inch grid at the hips. That is the point where the RestorePlus stops being an upgrade and becomes the correct starting model.
Three-zone coils and why they pair with the deeper grid
A uniform coil unit pushes back the same everywhere. Under a deep grid that is a mismatch: the grid lets the shoulder sink, then the coils underneath resist it uniformly, which partially undoes the accommodation.
The RestorePlus uses softer coils at the shoulders, firmer coils through the lumbar third, and medium coils under the legs, so the support layer reinforces what the grid is already doing rather than fighting it. The lumbar zone is the part most sleepers feel — it is what keeps the hips from dropping on a bed this soft at the surface.
The zoning also helps couples with a significant weight difference, because each side's load is met by the coil stiffness appropriate to where it lands rather than by a single average.
