After a somewhat tepid Black Friday sale, Purple has proven that patience pays off with an excellent deal to snag all year long. Right now there is $400 off all sizes of the Purple Plus mattresslike up to $400 off the Purple Original. These are among the cheapest prices we've seen all year for the Purple Plus and Original, and we don't think this discount will last. What a way to end 2023!
The Purple Plus and Original feel unique among the best mattresses, thanks to the patented Purple GelFlex Grid technology. A springy and elastic layer, it features a grid design that instantly conforms to your shape and follows every contour for a fully supportive feel. And because it's made of gel material, rather than traditional foam, it hugs the body without trapping heat. This cooling and supportive comfort has made it one of the best mattresses for back pain.
Purple mattress deals aren't the evergreen deals we see with other mattress brands, so if there's a discount, we recommend buying. Purple typically runs this $400 deal a few times throughout the year, but we've never seen it better.

Buy it if…
✅ You suffer from back pain: The Purple Plus uses patented GelFlex Grid technology to create a sleeping surface that conforms to your body. It's firm where it needs to be firm and soft where it needs to be soft. The Plus also features plenty of cushioning layers, which are great for sore joints.
✅ You get warm at night: The gelFlex Grid, which ranks highly in our best cooling mattresses guide, allows air to circulate freely while you sleep. Even though the mattress hugs your body, it doesn't retain heat, allowing you to sleep cooler.
✅ You want a mattress with a unique feeling: The Purple Plus and Purple mattresses feel like no other: springy, contouring, sometimes soft, sometimes firm. If you want the purple finish, you'll need a purple mattress, and the $400 off sale is the best time to buy it.
Don't buy it if…
❌ You have a tight budget: Even with this top discount, the Purple Plus is still a premium model. The Purple Original is a more affordable alternative (with slightly less cushioning) and currently the Original Queen costs only $999 – one of the best prices we've ever seen.
❌ You need strong edges: For those with limited mobility, the Purple Plus's weaker edges may make it difficult to get out of bed. It can also be a problem for bed sharers who need space to stretch out. Our DreamCloud mattress review found that this luxury hybrid had reliable edge support, and it is there 40% discount during the winter sale.
❌ You want a memory foam (or traditional feel) hug: The unique feel of the Purple Plus can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. For a memory foam cuddly toy, the Nectar mattress is 40% out now, and we noticed a slow slump response during our review of Nectar Memory Foam mattresses.
