The Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch Hybrid earns its place for one clear reason: it is the coolest configuration Purple has built around the GelFlex Grid, and you can only get it at Mattress Firm. The brand calls it the coolest Purple ever, and the build backs that language with a cool-to-the-touch yarn cover, the GelFlex Grid, 2 inches of Ultra Comfort Foam, and an 8-inch three-zone responsive coil system inside a 13-inch profile. That combination of a heat-drawing surface and zoned coil support is the whole argument for this mattress. The catch is equally simple: it is a Mattress Firm exclusive, so the buying path, the trial, and the warranty all run through that retailer rather than through Purple’s own site.

What exactly is the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch?
The short answer: it is a 13-inch hybrid sold only through Mattress Firm, built around Purple’s GelFlex Grid with a cool-to-the-touch cover and a three-zone coil unit. It is not a Purple direct-to-consumer purchase, and it is not the same as the standard RestorePlus Hybrid sold elsewhere, because the Cool Touch cover yarn is the distinguishing feature the brand leads with. The brand lists the following build, layer by layer, and those are the facts this review uses.
The documented construction is straightforward. A SoftFlex Cool Touch cover uses cool-to-the-touch yarn for instant cooling and carries an anti-microbial fabric treatment. Beneath that sits 2 inches of breathable Ultra Comfort Foam that conforms to the body. The GelFlex Grid adapts to body for comfort. Then an 8-inch three-zone responsive coil system provides targeted support, with an edge-to-edge coil core that the brand says allows air to flow freely. Total mattress height is 13 inches.
That layer stack tells you what kind of mattress this is: a hybrid that pairs a polymer surface with a coil base, rather than an all-foam bed or a pure innerspring. The Grid sits above the foam, so the first thing your body meets is the flexible polymer lattice, and the foam underneath handles the conforming work. The coils carry the structure. If you have shopped Purple before, the Restore Plus Cool Touch will feel familiar in concept while the cover yarn is the new element the brand puts forward.
Who is this mattress for?
Buy the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch if you are a Mattress Firm shopper who wants a Purple hybrid with a cooling cover and you value trying the mattress in a store before committing. It fits sleepers who like a responsive, non-traditional surface rather than slow memory foam, and who want zoned coil support under that surface. It also fits buyers who are comfortable with a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty rather than longer terms.
Skip it if you prefer to buy direct from the manufacturer, if you want a trial longer than 120 nights, or if you want a warranty longer than 10 years. Also skip it if you want to choose among multiple firmness levels, because the official page lists no firmness options for this model. And skip it if you are not near a Mattress Firm, since the page directs you to find a store rather than offering a direct online checkout.
Who should buy which, in one standalone block: the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch suits a shopper who already knows the GelFlex Grid feel or has tried it in a Mattress Firm store, who wants the cool-to-the-touch cover, and who accepts a 120-night trial beginning on delivery day with a 21-night minimum before any return or exchange. The Saatva Classic suits a shopper who wants to buy direct, wants a 365-night home trial and a lifetime warranty, and wants to pick from Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm at 11.5 or 14.5 inches, with free in-room delivery, setup, and old-mattress removal. The trial difference is 120 nights versus 365 nights, and the warranty difference is 10 years versus lifetime, both according to the official product pages.
What are the exact specifications and dimensions?
The official page lists five sizes with full dimensions, weights, and shipping details. All sizes share the 13-inch profile. Here is the documented data in one place.
| Size | Dimensions | Mattress weight | Shipping weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin XL | 80 x 38 x 13 inches | 95 lbs | 101 lbs |
| Full | 75 x 54 x 13 inches | 128 lbs | 134 lbs |
| Queen | 80 x 60 x 13 inches | 147 lbs | 154 lbs |
| King | 80 x 76 x 13 inches | 180 lbs | 187 lbs |
| California King | 84 x 72 x 13 inches | 179 lbs | 186 lbs |
The weight figures matter for practical reasons. A Queen at 147 pounds is a two-person carry up stairs, and the shipping weight of 154 pounds means the box is heavier than the mattress itself. If you live walk-up, plan for help at delivery. The brand also notes the mattress pairs with an adjustable base, which is relevant if you already own one or are shopping for a complete setup.
Notice that the King and California King weigh nearly the same, 180 pounds against 179 pounds, while the California King runs two inches longer and four inches narrower. The Full is the lightest option at 128 pounds, which makes it the most manageable single-person move of the range, though the shipping weight of 134 pounds still argues for a second pair of hands. Every size ships in a box that is longer than it is wide, with shipping dimensions listed from 44 x 16 inches for the Twin XL up to 78 x 16 inches for the King and California King.
How does the construction translate into feel and support?
The three-zone coil system is described as enhancing the Grid and providing targeted support.
For feel, the brand’s language centers on the Grid’s responsiveness rather than on slow sinkage. The Grid is a polymer surface that flexes under load, which is a different sensation from memory foam. If you have never slept on a Purple, the honest advice is to try one in a Mattress Firm store first, because the feel is genuinely unusual and it divides people. The page explicitly invites in-store trials with a “Try in store” prompt.
On support, the three-zone coil arrangement is the structural story. Zoned coils are arranged with different support levels across the mattress surface, typically firmer under the heavier middle section. The brand describes the system as offering core body support and targeted support, and the edge-to-edge coil core is documented as allowing air to flow freely. Beyond those documented claims, this review does not characterize how the mattress performs for specific sleep positions, because the official page does not provide that guidance.
What you can reasonably infer from the layer order is this: the Grid gives the surface its bounce and its pressure-relieving give, the 2 inches of Ultra Comfort Foam add a conforming layer between the Grid and the coils, and the 8 inches of zoned coils handle the load-bearing. That is a tall stack at 13 inches, so check that your existing sheets fit a deeper profile and that your frame or adjustable base is rated for a mattress of this height and weight.
If you are weighing this against other Purple options, the brand sells several models with different cover treatments and different feels, and the specs of one do not transfer to another. The Saatva vs Purple comparison covers how the two brands line up on price, feel, trial, and warranty, and it is a useful second read before you commit either way.
What does the cooling claim actually rest on?
The cooling story rests on three documented elements: the cool-to-the-touch yarn in the SoftFlex Cool Touch cover, the breathable Ultra Comfort Foam layer, and the edge-to-edge coil core the brand says allows air to flow freely. The brand also states the GelFlex Grid draws excess heat away. Those are manufacturer claims, and they describe design intent rather than measured temperature results. No independent test data appears in the official materials for this model.
Cooling matters most for sleepers who run hot at night, and for anyone in a warm climate without strong air conditioning. If that describes you, check the cover care instructions and the anti-microbial fabric treatment details on the official page, and confirm the cool-to-the-touch yarn is present in the specific unit you receive, since this is a Mattress Firm exclusive and stock can vary by location.
If cooling is your primary buying reason, you may also want to compare this against other Purple models before deciding, since the brand sells several with different cover treatments. The cool-to-the-touch yarn is the feature that separates this build from the standard RestorePlus Hybrid, so it is worth confirming at the store that the unit on the floor is the Cool Touch version and not a sibling model with a different cover.

How do trial, delivery, and warranty compare?
The retailer terms are clear and worth reading closely. Free and fast delivery comes from Mattress Firm. The 120-night trial begins the day the mattress is delivered, and Purple asks customers to spend at least 21 nights on the mattress before starting a return or exchange, so the body has time to adjust to the feel. The 10-year warranty covers replacement for up to 10 years from the original purchase date, is valid only for personal consumer use, and no longer applies after any resale. A warranty claim requires original dated proof of purchase, the official warranty document, and law tags.
Special financing and leasing options are available on mattress purchases through Mattress Firm, which can matter at this price tier. The page also offers a Sleep Genius line at 888-848-0665 for questions. None of these terms transfer to a different retailer, so if you buy from Mattress Firm, you get Mattress Firm’s terms as documented here.
The 21-night minimum is the detail most buyers miss. It means the earliest you can start a return or exchange is night 22 of the 120, so plan your decision window around that rather than assuming you can send the mattress back in the first week. The trial clock starting on delivery day rather than purchase day works in your favor, since you are not losing nights to shipping time.
What does it cost, and where do you buy it?
It directs you to find a Mattress Firm near you or shop in store, and it notes special financing and leasing options are available. Any price quoted on a third-party page should be verified against the store, since this is an exclusive model and promotions change.
For context on how Purple prices sit against a direct-buy rival, the Saatva vs Purple comparison lists the Queen prices as displayed for both brands: the Saatva Classic at $2,229 regular and $1,904 sale, and The Purple Mattress at $1,599 regular and $1,299 sale. Those figures describe the standard Purple Mattress, not the Restore Plus Cool Touch, so use them as a tier reference rather than a quote for this model.
The buying path itself is part of the value proposition. You get to lie on the mattress before you pay, you get free and fast delivery from the retailer, and you get special financing and leasing options at the point of sale. What you give up is the ability to order from Purple’s own site and the convenience of a home trial that starts without a store visit.
Who should NOT buy the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch?
Four groups should look elsewhere. First, direct-to-consumer shoppers: this model is not sold on Purple’s own site, so if you want to order online from the brand and have it arrive without a store step, this is the wrong model. Second, buyers who want a longer trial or warranty: 120 nights and 10 years are the terms here, and both are shorter than what Saatva offers on the Saatva Classic. Third, shoppers who want to choose a firmness level: the official page lists no firmness options for this model, so you get whatever feel the store unit delivers. Fourth, anyone far from a Mattress Firm: the page points you to find a store rather than offering a direct checkout, so distance is a real constraint.
There is a fifth group worth naming: sleepers who dislike unusual surfaces. The GelFlex Grid flexes under load and feels unlike memory foam or traditional innerspring. If you want the slow, contouring sink of memory foam, this is not that, and no amount of cooling yarn changes the fundamental feel. The store trial exists precisely for this reason, so use it.
How does it compare to the Saatva Classic?
The Saatva Classic is the natural comparison for a shopper who wants to buy direct with longer terms. Here is how the two line up on the documented facts.
| What to compare | Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch | Saatva Classic |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | GelFlex Grid over 2-inch Ultra Comfort Foam over 8-inch three-zone coils | Dual-coil with a 3-inch Euro pillow top |
| Profile | 13 inches | 11.5 or 14.5 inches |
| Feel choices | None listed on the official page | Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm |
| Home trial | 120 nights, 21-night minimum before return | 365 nights |
| Delivery | Free and fast from Mattress Firm | Free in-room delivery and setup; old-mattress removal |
| Warranty | 10 years | Lifetime warranty |
| Where you buy | Mattress Firm exclusive | Direct from Saatva |
Who should buy the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch: a Mattress Firm shopper who already likes or wants to try the GelFlex Grid, wants the cool-to-the-touch cover, and is comfortable with a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty. Who should buy the Saatva Classic: a shopper who wants to order direct, wants a 365-night home trial and a lifetime warranty, and wants to pick from three comfort levels at two heights, with free in-room delivery, setup, and old-mattress removal.
The verdict is clean. Choose the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch if store access and the Grid feel are your priorities. Choose the Saatva Classic if choice of firmness, a longer trial, and a lifetime warranty matter more than the cool-to-the-touch cover.
World Sleep Almanac score: 7.6/10. The score reflects five criteria: materials and construction (a documented 13-inch hybrid with the GelFlex Grid, 2 inches of Ultra Comfort Foam, and an 8-inch three-zone coil system), trial and returns (120 nights with a 21-night minimum), warranty (10 years, personal use only, no resale coverage), buying experience (Mattress Firm exclusive with free and fast delivery plus financing options), and price transparency (no price published on the official page, which weighs on the score). The rating is editorial and reflects these stated criteria rather than any hands-on testing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch sold on Purple’s own website?
No. The official page identifies it as a Mattress Firm exclusive and directs shoppers to find a Mattress Firm near you or shop in store. You cannot order this specific model through Purple’s direct channel, and the trial, delivery, and warranty terms documented for it come from that retailer relationship.
How long do I have to try the mattress before I can return it?
The trial runs 120 nights and begins the day the mattress is delivered. The minimum exists so your body has time to adjust to Purple’s feel and support before you decide.
Does the warranty cover a second owner?
No. The 10-year warranty is valid only if the purchaser uses the product for personal consumer use, and it no longer applies after any resale, whether the mattress is new or used. A claim also requires original dated proof of purchase by the original purchaser, the official warranty document, and the law tags.
What sizes does this mattress come in?
Five sizes are listed: Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King. Every size shares the 13-inch total height, and the weights range from 95 pounds for the Twin XL to 180 pounds for the King. Shipping dimensions and shipping weights are published for each size on the official page.
Can I use this mattress with an adjustable base?
Yes. The page also notes the edge-to-edge coil core allows air to flow freely, which is a separate design point from base compatibility.
Is there a firmness rating for this model?
Any rating you see on a third-party page is not confirmed by the source, so treat it accordingly and try the mattress in a Mattress Firm store if you can.
Verdict: the Purple Restore Plus Cool Touch is a strong pick for a Mattress Firm shopper who wants the coolest Purple build and the GelFlex Grid feel, with a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty behind it. It is the wrong pick for direct buyers, firmness choosers, and anyone wanting longer terms. If that description fits you better, the Saatva Classic offers three comfort levels, two heights, a 365-night trial, and a lifetime warranty.
