The Restore Hybrid suits back, stomach and combo sleepers who want Purple's soft gel grid on top of springs. Strict side sleepers who like a plush bed may find it too firm. The catch is that the outside tests were done on a firmer version, and a return costs $250.

Restore Hybrid
Pros
Sleeps cool. Air moves through the open grid and the coils, so heat does not build up much.
Better edges. The coils and a firm border hold you up when you sit on the side.
Easy to move. The springy feel makes it simple to roll over at night.
No fiberglass. Purple says its fire barrier does not use fiberglass.
Cons
Tests used Firm. Outside testers rated a firmer build than the Medium sold on purple.com today.
$250 return charge. Purple keeps $250 from your refund if you send it back.
Pricey at full price. The Queen was $2,699 when we checked, a big jump from Purple's foam beds.
Some partner motion. The coils pass along more movement than an all-foam Purple.
How firm is the Restore Hybrid, and which firmness should you pick?
Purple sells the Restore Hybrid in one feel, which it calls Medium. There is no firmness to pick on purple.com.
Outside tests can read firmer. A Yahoo Health tester called it on the firm side. The likely reason is that Mattress Firm has sold the Restore in separate Soft and Firm versions, and testers may have had the Firm one.
What this means for you:
If you buy from purple.com, you get the Medium feel.
If you try one in a store, ask which version is on the floor. Soft and Firm are not the same bed as the Medium.
Is the Restore Hybrid right for your sleep position and body weight?
It fits back, stomach and combo sleepers best. Purple itself points those groups to this bed.
Back sleepers: the coils keep your hips from sinking too far.
Stomach sleepers: the support helps keep your middle level.
Combo sleepers: the bounce makes turning over easy.
Side sleepers: average weight side sleepers may be fine. If you want more cushion at the shoulders, look at the RestorePlus Hybrid.
Purple sets no weight limit. It suggests up to 300 pounds per person, or 600 pounds for two. Edge support is a clear step up from Purple's foam beds, though it is good rather than great.
It may help some people with back pain, but most of the proof comes from Purple. The brand says the Medium feel helps keep your spine in line and eases pain. Its pain figures come from a survey Purple paid for, not a medical study.
Outside notes are few but positive. One Yahoo Health tester said their back hurt less after a few weeks on it. The mix of springs for support and a soft grid at the shoulders and hips is a sound setup for back sleepers.
If your pain is severe or long term, ask a doctor before you count on any mattress to fix it.
The Restore Hybrid sleeps cool. This is one of its strongest points.
The top layer is a gel grid full of open squares, so air can move through it. Under that, the springs leave more open space than solid foam does. A Yahoo Health tester gave it 5 out of 5 for temperature and said it sleeps very cool. Tom's Guide found it a bit cooler than the Tempur-Adapt Hybrid.
Purple also says its beds sleep twice as cool as leading rivals. That claim comes from Purple's own test, so treat it as a brand claim. If you run hot on memory foam, this is a safe bet.
You will feel some movement, more than on an all-foam Purple but less than on an old spring bed.
The coils are wrapped one by one, so each spring moves on its own. A foam layer under the grid soaks up some of the shake. Most couples should be fine. A very light sleeper next to a restless partner may notice it.
Ways to cut it down:
Choose a Split King, two separate beds side by side.
Lie on one in a store with your partner before you buy.
It is fair value if you need coils under the grid, and steep at full price. Purple listed the Queen at $2,699 on September 26, 2026. On October 2, 2026, during a sale, purple.com showed these regular and sale prices:

There is one height, 11.5 inches. It is the cheapest hybrid Purple sells. Side sleepers who want a softer bed should price the RestorePlus Hybrid too. Purple runs sales often, so avoid paying full price.
You can buy the Restore Hybrid at purple.com, in Purple stores and at partner stores such as Mattress Firm. Purple's store finder counted 3,531 places in the US to try its beds. A bed bought from another store follows that store's trial and return rules, not Purple's. If you try one in person, lie on it for at least 15 minutes in the way you usually sleep.

The Restore Hybrid is a hybrid, meaning foam and a gel grid sit on top of springs. From top to bottom, Purple lists:
A stretchy cover with a finish meant to slow germs.
A 2 inch GelFlex Grid, Purple's soft, rubbery gel layer shaped like a waffle.
A comfort foam layer.
An 8 inch layer of wrapped coils.
A firm border around the edges.
The bed is 11.5 inches tall. Purple does not share the coil count, foam density or weight. Deep pocket sheets fit. Purple suggests stretchy sheets and a stretchy protector, so the grid can flex as it should.
The foams are CertiPUR-US certified, which tests foam for certain harmful chemicals. Purple also calls the bed Clean Air Gold certified, a label for low indoor gases, but we could not check the test behind it. Neither label covers the fire barrier.
Purple's product page lists the fabrics. The top is mostly polyester with a little stretch fiber. The sides are polyester. The bottom is mostly fire-resistant rayon.
Smell may last a while. Purple says a faint, sweet smell can show up and fades in days. NapLab noticed smell for about 14 days, though it tested the Firm version. A Yahoo Health tester noticed no smell.
No, according to Purple. The Restore Hybrid product page calls its fire sock fiberglass-free and not treated with chemicals. Purple's help center says the same about its fire barrier, which sits under the cover. Outside guides describe it as a knit fabric made with silica, a mineral, rather than loose glass strands.
To check your own bed, read the white law tag sewn on the side. Look for the words "glass fiber." Do not unzip the cover to look inside.
It needs a firm, even base. Purple lists these as fine:
A solid platform.
Slats less than 3.5 inches apart.
An adjustable base rated for at least 750 pounds.
Do not put it on a box spring. Purple says its beds should not be used with one. For a Queen or larger, use a frame with a center leg. A poor base can lead to dips, and the warranty does not cover damage from the wrong support.
How long will it last, and does it need flipping or rotating?
Sleep Foundation expects it to last at least 8 years, though it tested the Firm version. The gel grid wears slowly. The foam under it is more likely to soften with time.
Plan on a break-in period. Purple asks you to sleep on it for 21 nights before you decide, since the grid feels different at first.
Do not flip it. The comfort layers are only on top. Purple does not publish a rotation plan, so ask Purple before you rotate it.
Shipping is free. The Restore Hybrid comes squeezed in a box, so you set it up yourself unless you pay extra. Ground shipping takes 5 to 10 business days after it leaves the warehouse. In-home setup with old mattress removal costs $200 on this model. It is free only on Purple's Rejuvenate beds.
Full delivery and setup rules for every model: Purple review →
You get 100 nights, starting on delivery day. You must sleep on it for at least 21 nights before you can return or swap it. A return of the Restore Hybrid costs a $250 transport charge, taken from your refund. You get one exchange, which may also carry transport costs plus any price difference. The bed must be clean with the law tag on.

The Restore Hybrid has a 10-year warranty for the first buyer. It covers flaws in how it was made and dips deeper than 1 inch. Purple repairs or replaces it at no charge, but after the first 100 days you pay to ship it. Stains, a removed law tag, the wrong base and buying from an unapproved seller can void it.
Owners on Purple's own site like it, but outside scores are lower. The Restore page showed 4.6 out of 5 from more than 830 reviews in October 2026, collected by Purple. Trustpilot showed 1.4 out of 5 for Purple from 102 reviews in September 2026, most of them complaints.
Yes, mainly in name. The Restore Hybrid replaced the old Purple Hybrid. Purple dropped its old number names and moved to three tiers: Restore, RestorePlus and RestorePremier.
The feel also differs by where you buy. Purple.com sells one Medium version, while Mattress Firm has sold Soft and Firm versions.
We did not test this mattress in person. This page draws on Purple's product, returns, warranty and help pages, checked in late September and early October 2026. We also used outside reviews from Sleepopolis, Sleep Foundation, NapLab, Yahoo Health and Tom's Guide, plus owner reviews, and we label brand claims as brand claims.
We found evidence for every question on this page.
