Sleep Position Ratings
Purple Mattress
Our testers found that the Purple mattress is a good choice for people who sleep on their back, regardless of their weight. Our lightweight testers found the mattress comfortable across all sleeping positions (side, back, and stomach).
Heavyweight sleepers, on the other hand, found that the mattress did not offer consistent enough support to sleep on their side or stomach without experiencing sagging that lead to pressure build-up around the hips and aches in the shoulders and neck.
Layla Mattress
The Layla mattress is a good option for back sleepers of lighter or average weight. Our average-weight testers who prefer to sleep on their side also found that the Layla offered an adequate balance of pressure relief and support.
However, the mattress isn’t ideal for those who weigh more than 230 pounds — regardless of preferred sleep position — as they will likely sink too much, though the firm side received better scores than the medium-soft side. Average and heavyweight stomach sleepers will also most likely find that the Layla doesn’t offer enough support for a comfortable night’s sleep.
Our Recommendations
Choose the Purple if...
- You sleep on your back, regardless of your body size.
- You sleep warm and want a mattress that stays cool.
- You want a mattress that limits motion transfer when sleeping with a partner.
- You want a mattress that conforms to your pressure points, especially in your shoulders and back.
Choose the Layla Mattress if...
- You weigh 230 pounds or less.
- You want the flexibility of a mattress with both softer and firmer sides.
- You want a mattress that provides pressure relief; you want to feel like you’re sleeping “in” the mattress.
- You want a mattress with a lifetime warranty.

How Is the Purple Built?
The Purple Mattress is unique in that it tops two layers of polyfoam with a supportive grid made from elastic polymer reinforced with buckling column gel. This creates a medium-firm (6.5) mattress that closely conforms to the body’s most sensitive pressure points. Although Purple guarantees their mattresses for 10 years, because the company is relatively new, it’s still too soon to determine the long-term durability of the bed.
That being said, we predict that the mattress should hold up for at least seven years with normal usage due to the materials used and the quality of the construction.
Our testers found that the Purple is virtually silent when bearing weight, and offers exceptional motion isolation. It also offers good temperature neutrality, and stays relatively cool throughout the night, especially when compared to memory foam mattresses.
However, the Purple Mattress doesn’t offer much in terms of edge support, leaving heavyweight sleepers feeling at risk for feelings of “roll-off.” The bed’s unique materials also may not offer enough bounce or responsiveness for sex for some couples.
How Is the Layla Mattress Built?
The Layla mattress is 10 inches thick, and offers two sides so sleepers can select the firmness they prefer. The softer side is rated a 4, or medium-soft, while the other side is firmer, and rated a 7.5.
The soft side is constructed with a 3-inch layer of copper-infused memory foam, which allows sleepers to sink deeply into the mattress. This sits on top of a 2-inch transitional layer, which acts as an additional buffer between the sleeper and the support core.
The firm side is constructed with 1 inch of copper-infused memory foam directly on top of the 4.5-inch support core. This results in a more supportive feel for heavier sleepers, but may not provide enough pressure relief for smaller individuals.
Our testers gave the Layla high ratings for durability, pressure relief, off-gassing, motion isolation, and noise. However, like most memory foam mattresses, the mattress does not provide very much edge support, so sinkage will occur when people sit around the perimeter of the bed.
Also typical of memory foam beds, the Layla offers an average amount of temperature neutrality, and may not provide enough bounce or responsiveness for sex for some couples.
