by Purple has launched its Premium and Luxe Collections, which feature nine all-new mattresses with the brand’s proprietary GelFlex Grid technology.
This new launch is the latest growth initiative for Purple since acquiring Intellibed in late 2022 and the first major launch in more than three years.
Chief Innovation Officer Jeff Hutchings tells Bedding News Now that the products were introduced and well-received at the January Las Vegas Market. Over the past few months, the company has been creating supporting ad campaigns and making sure they can meet the demand for the now-available lines.
“We believe we’re really poised for growth at this point,” Hutchings says. “Through a combination of the leadership we think we can take by focusing on health and well-being, and the differentiated technology that brings authentic benefits to sleepers, it’s great timing for a new innovative entry into the market for Purple. And we’ve got quite a bit of test data to back that up.”
Last year, Purple conducted a study in conjunction with world-renowned sleep scientists, including “The Sleep Doctor” Michael Breus, which revealed Purple mattresses improved sleep quality/quantity, perceived pain, productivity, mood and daytime fatigue over an eight-week period.
The study, the purpose of which was to examine the effectiveness of the Purple mattress on sleep and health outcomes of adults with occasional sleeplessness, was conducted over an eight-week time frame with 39 adult participants, median age 45. The participants slept on the Purple 3-inch GelFlex Grid for eight weeks. Sleep quality/quantity, perceived pain, productivity, mood and daytime fatigue improved significantly from baseline to week 8, p’s < .05.
“Many manufacturers claim health benefits with a particular mattress; however, insufficient research exists to support these claims. The study purpose was to examine the effectiveness of a Purple mattress on sleep and health outcomes in otherwise healthy adults with occasional sleeplessness,” says Breus. “Compared to baseline, sleeping on the Purple mattress resulted in significant improvements in nighttime sleep quality/quantity and pain, as well as corresponding improvements in daytime mood (i.e., tension, anger, vigor, fatigue and confusion), perceived stress, daytime fatigue and pain.”
Hutchings says these beds are part of Purple’s push on the wholesale side, and that they were designed and built with input from Purple’s wholesale partners.
“We expect them to be as effective or more effective as our older beds in the DTC market, but they’re primarily for our trade partners,” he says. “With these lines, we have a full lineup, so we think we can target pretty much any price point, any field preference and bring the innovation of the grid to a lot more people.”
