I will cover Purple RejuvenatePlus features, suitability for different sleepers, and honest pros and cons to help you decide if it’s your perfect mattress.

»

Purple is known for their unique gel grid, which is made to deliver motion isolation and spinal support, along with helping to keep you cool throughout the night. Their latest in luxury, the RejuvenatePlus™, is no different. 

So then, what about the Purple RejuvenatePlus™ makes it a luxury bed, and is the higher price point worth it?

I tested this bed for myself, and in this review, I’ll go over all of the elements of this mattress. I’ll tell you who it’s a great fit for and who should keep looking. I’ll also be honest about the pros and cons so you can decide whether the Purple RejuvenatePlus™ is the right mattress for you.

Who I Recommend The Purple RejuvenatePlus™ For:

• Combination sleepers – The RejuvenatePlus™ is a relatively firm mattress without a whole lot of give, which I think makes it a good option for those who are switching between positions throughout the night. It should be easier to move around on this mattress’ surface. 

• Those who love a firm mattress – Even though Purple says this is a “soft” mattress, it feels more like a “firm” bed to me. It is still plenty comfortable, but it will be the best fit for sleepers who prefer a firmer mattress that doesn’t allow you to sink into it too much.

• Heavier people – This mattress is thick, durable, and extra supportive. Heavyweight people should sink into it just enough to feel comfortable, but still supported in any position. 

Who I Don’t Recommend The Purple RejuvenatePlus™ For: 

• Budget shoppers – To say that this mattress is not cheap might be an understatement. The cost of a Queen-sized RejuvenatePlus™ is 6,495 dollars, which likely puts it outside of many peoples’ budgets. If you’re looking for a more affordable option from Purple, I’d suggest checking out the Purple Original as it should still be plenty supportive. 

• Lightweight side sleepers – Based on my experience with this bed, I think lightweight side sleepers will get the least amount of benefits from it. Instead, I’d recommend something else for petite sleepers who like to lie on their side.

First Impressions: Firmness & Feel

Firmness Scale: 8/10 (Firm)

Please remember that firmness is a subjective characteristic and your shape will dictate how you experience a bed. A heavier person whose weight can more easily push through softer comfort and support layers may experience a bed as softer than a lightweight person. The way you are shaped could also play a role here. Consider your weight, shape, and size when evaluating firmness scores.

Even though the RejuvenatePlus™ is classified as a soft mattress, it felt pretty firm to me. On our mattress firmness scale from 1 to 10, in which 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest, I am giving the RejuvenatePlus™ an 8. 

When I lie on it, I can feel the Euro top slightly cushioning my body, but I am still squarely held atop the mattress. Keep in mind, I am an average-weight sleeper, which means that lightweight sleepers will likely feel this mattress to be even firmer than I did. 

How Does It Feel?

The first thing I noticed on the RejuvenatePlus™ was a lot of cushioning from the top layer, which is a Euro pillow top. When I lay down, I felt comfortable and experienced some pressure relief, but I didn’t sink into the bed for deep pressure relief as I might on a different Purple mattress in which the gel grid layer is more of the focus. Instead, the Euro top feels like the primary cushion for this bed. 

What I Like About the Purple RejuvenatePlus™

• Excellent motion isolation – The pillow top and comfort layers stifle the majority of vibrations from traveling across the bed, especially on the surface level.
• Overheating won’t be an issue – Considering how much material this bed contains, I still don’t think overheating will be an issue.
• Materials are non-toxic – The materials are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and you shouldn’t be coming into contact with any dangerous substances. 

My Purple RejuvenatePlus™ Complaints

• Price is too high – I am not sure that this bed is “luxury” enough to warrant its very high price tag. It is a great quality bed, but it doesn’t seem higher quality or more luxurious than other Purple mattresses or some of their competitors. 
• No white-glove delivery – Considering the price tag, I would expect free white-glove delivery, however, this is not offered. 
• It is a huge mattress – This mattress is massive, measuring at 16.5 inches tall and weighing 157 pounds for a Queen. Without white-glove delivery, handling this mattress and setting it up yourself might be a hassle. 

Testing the RejuvenatePlus™ Mattress: How it Performed 

To test our mattresses, I always look at different factors like pressure relief, support, firmness, motion isolation, bounce, edge support, and cooling. I also analyze how these beds will perform for different body types and sleep positions, as well as how I think they’ll do for couples sharing the bed.

Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types

According to Purple, there is no weight limit for the RejuvenatePlus™. After testing this mattress, I do believe that it is supportive enough to be a great choice for most heavyweight sleepers, but it may be too firm for some lighter sleepers. 

Weight	Side SleepersIcon	Back SleepersIcon	Stomach SleepersIcon
Lightweight Sleepers (-130 lbs)	★☆☆	★★☆	★★☆
Average-Weight Sleepers (130-230 lbs)	★★☆	★★★	★★★
Heavyweight Sleepers (+230 lbs)	★★★	★★★	★★★

Side Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight side sleepers may feel comfortable, but it doesn’t strike me as the first option these side sleepers should jump for since you can’t feel the grid. Depending on how lightweight the sleeper is, the bed may feel too firm. 
• Average-Weight Sleepers – Side sleeping feels good and there’s slight cushioning, but for how thick this mattress is, I thought there would be more. However, I don’t feel tension around my hips, shoulders, or lower back. 
• Heavyweight Sleepers – For heavyweight side sleepers there should be a good amount of sink and cushioning but not too much. The body should feel nice and lifted.

Back Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers should have no problem with lumbar support. Those who enjoy a very firm-feeling mattress will get the most out of this bed. 
• Average-Weight Sleepers – In this position, my back doesn’t sink down too much and my body weight feels evenly distributed. I feel very ‘on top of’ this mattress rather than sinking into it. 
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight back sleepers should have plenty of support; the back should remain lifted, with just a small amount of sinkage into the mattress.

Stomach Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight stomach sleepers should feel plenty supported by this mattress, though it may feel too firm to actually be comfortable. 
• Average-Weight Sleepers – This may be the best Purple mattress as far as stomach sleeping goes because of how firm it is. For average-weight stomach sleepers, the back should remain lifted, keeping the spine in great alignment. 
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight stomach sleepers should feel supported and comfortable on this mattress. The hips may sink in a bit but not so far that the spine’s alignment would be compromised. 

I felt a lot of good, gentle support underneath my pressure points and lower back. This mattress feels very comfortable, but it’s not nearly as pliable as the grid on the flagship Purple bed.  The grid is there, but the Euro top is so thick that it is hard to feel, which is why I’m deducting a point in this category. 

Also, lightweight side sleepers might not get enough pressure relief as they may be too ‘on top of’ this firm mattress. 

Is the RejuvenatePlus™ Mattress Good for Pain Relief? 

The Purple GelFlex™ Grid is designed to help deliver pressure and pain relief. While this mattress does still contain a layer of the gel grid, it is hard to feel beneath the thick Euro pillow top. That said, in certain positions, this mattress could work well for pain relief, depending on what your trouble spots are. 

Back Pain

I think RejuvenatePlus™ is a good choice for those with back pain. It is zoned for support, meaning the area beneath the lumbar is thicker with coils in order to lift this area up for extra support. I could really feel this when lying on both my back and stomach. 

Hip Pain

Sleepers with hip pain should also appreciate this mattress. The three-zoned support lifts the hips while lying on the back and stomach, so they shouldn’t dip down into the mattress. 

When lying on my side, my hips felt cushioned and comfortable, without dipping into the mattress and throwing my spine out of alignment. That said, lightweight sleepers with hip pain might find this bed too firm. 

Shoulder Pain

This bed should do a good job relieving shoulder pain for those who prefer to sleep on their back or stomach. Side sleepers may need something a bit more contouring, though, especially lightweight side sleepers. However, a softer mattress topper could help with this.

When measuring support, I am looking at how well a bed keeps my spine in a healthy, neutral alignment through the night. 

Sometimes if a bed is too soft, the spine won’t be adequately supported and will arch or dip uncomfortably. The RejuvenatePlus™, however, truly excels in support. As an average-weight sleeper, it worked well at keeping my spine in proper alignment in all sleep positions with no sliding out of place.

I think it would also work well at providing support for heavier sleepers as its construction is quite sturdy and responsive. 

Motion isolation is an important quality to consider for couples sharing a bed. It measures how well a mattress isolates movement from one side of the bed to the other. Minimal motion transfer means you’re less likely to disturb your partner. 

With the RejuvenatePlus™, I detected minimal movement since the pillow top and comfort layers stifle the majority of vibrations from traveling across the bed, especially on the surface level.

One of the important features of Purple’s famous gel grid is its ability to draw heat away from the body and keep you cool throughout the night. Since this mattress has such a dense Euro top, however, I didn’t feel the grid below drawing heat away from me. The cover of the mattress feels comfortable, but it’s not cool to the touch. 

If you’re an especially hot sleeper, I’d recommend getting a strong cooling mattress instead. 

Bounce reflects how quickly a mattress is able to spring back to its original shape and is often most beneficial to combination sleepers, people with limited mobility, and sexually-active couples. This mattress immediately reacts to my movement around the mattress surface, bouncing right back into shape. 

Good edge support means you’re able to comfortably sit or lie along the perimeter. This can be helpful for couples who like to spread out and can help make it easier to get in an out of bed.

Whether I was sitting on or lying at the edge, I barely made a dent in the mattress. The edges are reinforced with foam, making the entire surface of the bed supportive and comfortable to use. 

If you’re looking for a good mattress for couples, this might be a great choice depending on how firm you like your bed. For those who love a firmer feel, you’ll appreciate that the RejuvenatePlus™ has both great motion isolation (so you won’t wake up your partner) as well as great bounce, which can be preferable for some sexually-active couples. It also has good edge support, so you two will be able to stretch out and comfortably sleep on the entire surface of the bed.

Preference-based Features

• Three-Zoned Support

This mattress includes a coil system that is zoned to support the areas that need it most, like the hips and lumbar spine.

• Euro Top

The RejuvenatePlus™ has a plush, quilted Euro top for a more enhanced feel at the top. 

• Made in the U.S.

Purple mattresses are made in the U.S. using American-made materials with consistent quality control. The GelFlex Grid is also produced in the United States.

• Hypoallergenic 

All of the materials used in Purple mattresses are hypoallergenic and non-toxic. Many of the materials used are also made with recyclable, food-grade, and food-contact-grade materials. 

Construction: What’s Inside the Purple RejuvenatePlus™?

The RejuvenatePlus™ is a hybrid bed, meaning it has both layers of foam and coils. The first thing you’ll notice about this mattress after unpacking it is its cover – it is a quilted comfort cover with an antimicrobial finish. Though the cover is designed to be cooling, it doesn’t feel especially cool to the touch. 

Beneath the cover, the RejuvenatePlus™ contains five layers that all add up to a very thick, 16.5-inch profile. Below, we’ll go over each one. 

• Beneath the cover is a plush, pressure-relieving Euro top. This layer is made up of active response comfort foam, which cradles the joints and relieves pressure but snaps back into shape quickly. 
• Below the Euro top is a layer of Purple’s Gelflex® Grid Plus. This layer is meant to provide added support beneath the softer pillow top while helping to keep the mattress cool throughout the night. The edges are also reinforced with this foam, so they shouldn’t dip down beneath your weight. 
• Two dual foam comfort layers lie beneath the gel grid. These two units provide a transitional section from the top layers to the springs beneath, along with added support. 
• The final layer is made up of pocketed coils. These coils are zoned so that they are even more supportive beneath the heaviest parts of the body, like the hips and lumbar spine, to promote the best possible spinal alignment. 

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

Off-gassing typically occurs when a foam mattress is delivered in a box and it is expanding. This can be a faint or strong chemical smell that takes some time to dissipate. 

The RejuvenatePlus™ did not have any sort of off-gassing smell. Also, this mattress arrives fully expanded, so unpackaging can be a bit difficult since the mattress is so heavy. I’d recommend doing this with a friend. 

Certifications

• CertiPUR-US® certified – The foams in this bed are  CertiPUR-US® certified. CertiPUR-US® is a third-party program that ensures the foams meet rigorous health and safety standards. This means they don’t contain harmful substances like ozone depleters, PBDEs, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates. They should also have low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

• CleanAir GOLD certified – The gel and poly foams in this mattress have received a GOLD rating from Intertek, a third-party quality assurance company. This confirms that certified products will reduce health risks related to chemical exposure and meet the standards of other agencies promoting minimal VOC exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Do I need a base for my Purple RejuvenatePlus™?

Yes, you’ll need a base for this mattress. Since the RejuvenatePlus™ is an especially large and heavy mattress, you’ll need a strong and sturdy base. Purple recommends the Purple Foundation or Purple Platform, which both hold up to 2,000 pounds. 

What is the lifespan of a Purple mattress? 

According to Purple, their mattresses are designed to last about 10 years with normal use. You shouldn’t see any sagging in your mattress during this time, and if you do, contact Purple for warranty support. 

Do Purple mattresses sleep hot? 

Purple’s proprietary GelFlex™ Grid was designed to stay temperature-neutral throughout the night, which makes it a good fit for hot sleepers. Additionally, their beds with coils have increased airflow and breathability. They also use a cooling Quilted Comfort Cover that should stay cool, or at least neutral in temperature, through the night. 

While I wouldn’t say this mattress sleeps hot, it isn’t the best option out there for cooling.

My Verdict

Not that you know the pros and cons of Purple’s RejuvenatePlus™, it’s time for the final verdict. I do believe this is an excellent mattress for a variety of people, including heavyweight sleepers, stomach sleepers, couples, hot sleepers, people who want great edge support, and anyone who prefers a firm-feeling mattress. 

However, the price tag is extremely high considering it doesn’t come with a lifetime warranty or free white glove delivery. It is also a more substantial mattress, with a 16.5-inch profile and weighing 157 pounds for a Queen, so handling and unpackaging the mattress will definitely be a two-person job. Overall, I gave this bed a score of 4.5 out of 5.
