Construction

Layla Mattresses9.3

Layla Mattress

This 10″ mattress is built in four unique layers with each layer offering its own benefit to the sleeper. The use of copper is also a catch here.

The details

Polyester Cover

The cover of this mattress is a product of polyester blend that offers a soft-plush feeling. In addition to this comfort, thermogel was infused into this cover to make it cooler and retain this coolness.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

The first layer after the cover begins with the soft side. It’s a 3″ copper memory foam. This layer is sheer soft so it allows you to sink in and contour you afterward.

With copper infused into this layer of memory foam, it creates an extra cooling effect and owing to the antimicrobial properties of copper, you are free of bacteria while you enjoy your sleep. The copper also provides variable support in points where you have deep compression.

Transition Layer

This transition layer is made of a 2″ HD foam. This layer is responsible for the interaction between the soft layer and the firm layer of the mattress.

Support Base

At the base of this mattress is the support 4.5″ foam. It is much firmer and it’s a HD polyfoam. Usually, the mattress layers end here at the base but we still have the firm side since it’s a 2-in-1 flippable mattress.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

On the flip side of this mattress is the firm layer which is 1″ in height and is also a copper-infused memory foam but a lot thinner and firm.

N/B: Both firm and soft options come with motion isolation implying that the movement of your partner on the bed while you are fast asleep does not affect you in any way.

Layla Hybrid

The Layla Hybrid features same construction. Two firmness options, all you have to do is flip to get your desired firmness.

This mattress is made up of 5 layers with the pocketed coils making the real difference and the zipper cover of course.

The details

Feature Rich Cover

The cover of this hybrid mattress is rich in features. From being removable with a zipper to being made from a combination of polyester, lycra and viscose, it’s one feature-packed irregular cover. All these contribute to making it super cool.  It’s highly breathable, soft and assures the sleeper of cool sleep.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

As usual, the soft side in a flippable mattress is the first layer. This soft side is a 2.5″ copper-infused memory foam just like it’s other all-foam counterpart.

The copper in the mix caters for bacteria protection with it’s anti-microbial properties. It makes the mattress extra-cool by zapping heat away.

It also contours the body in a slow responsive style and adds to ease pressure from relevant points where it’s needed.

Transition Layer

Underneath this soft layer is the transition layer which is a zoned 2″ polyfoam that serves as the bridge between the soft side and the firm side. This transition layer is firm which is needed for the transition role it plays.

Support Layer

This support layer makes all the difference and the major reason why this mattress is termed hybrid.

Stealing a sizable portion of the entire mattress, it’s 6″ high in pocketed coils covered in foam.

All the bouncy and floating feeling is supplied from this layer. The coils add extra comfort and coolness equally.

Base Support

This layer is usually the last but for the flippable nature of this mattress, it finds itself in this position. It’s a 1.5″ zoned polyfoam and the thinner version of the zoned polyfoam above it.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

The flip side layer is the firm one which is a 1.5″ copper-infused memory foam. It sits at the bottom so you could just flip it over and get down to the firm side of things.  It is thinner than the soft side which is normal.

Purple Mattresses8.7

Purple Mattress

With an upgrade in this mattress which include a SoftFlex cover and edge support, the purple mattress is simply resurgent and reflects the optimal comfort Purple brand is known for.

The construction of this mattress is in three major layers.

Construction Details

A SoftFlex cover overlays this first layer.

Middle Layer

The middle layer is made up of a 3.5 inch density polyurethane foam.

Support Core Layer

The base of this mattress is a 4.2 inch density Polyurethane foam providing structural balance and durability for the mattress.

Purple Hybrid

The Purple Hybrid Premier

The Purple Hybrid comes with two options – the 3″ of weightless support and the 4″ of zero gravity float. Since it’s also a hybrid, individually pocketed coils are present to enhance comfort, enforce durability and create a highly responsive mattress. Typically, it’s construction is in three layers.

Construction Details

Cooling and Comfort

Layla Mattresses9.2

Layla Mattress

The polyester cover on this mattress coupled with thermogel creates the coolness you need to never sleep hot again.

The comfort layer just like it’s tag, is there to assure you of maximum comfort in body contouring, pressure relief, softness and coolness. Thanks to copper in the mix, you won’t be wary of bacteria and you can stay healthy while using it.

Layla Hybrid Mattress

Same comfort and coolness is provided by this hybrid version. From it’s premium quality cover to the first comfort layer, every sleeper is entitled to the best contouring comfort, best cool sleep and bacteria-free usage.

Purple Mattresses7.5

All three purple mattresses share the Purple Grid ^TM in common and this accounts for all the comfort and coolness in each mattress.

The Purple Grid ^TM comes with a large number of open-air channels that looks like they are perforated. This is to ensure sufficient air goes into each mattress for maximum comfort and coolness. The materials used in the Purple Grid ^TM are all neutral to temperature, this makes the mattresses even cooler.

The Purple Grid ^TM also provides cradling comfort that soothes the body while getting rid of pressure points.

For the hybrid mattresses, the presence of coils enhance the bouncy feeling, increase comfort and also help the open cell technology bring about more coolness.

Motion Isolation: The Purple Grid ^TM also comes with a motion isolating technology to ensure that the movement of your partner, pet or kid on the mattress, while you are fast asleep, is unnoticed by you.

Edge Support: There’s also an advanced edge support with the Purple mattress to guarantee firmness at the edges so you don’t slide off the bed.

Back Pain Support

Layla Mattresses9.2

Layla Mattress

The comfort layer making up the soft side of this mattress offers variable support in points where you have deep compression.

On the other hand, the comfort layer on the firm side also provides little pressure relief for back sleepers. It was engineered to relieve pressure from the back and other focal points.

Layla Hybrid Mattress

Both comfort layers (soft and firm) provides pressure relief for all kinds of sleepers. The inclusion of individually pocketed coils makes the pressure relief function more effectively for the back sleeper as well as the side sleeper.

Purple Mattresses7.6

The Purple Grid ^TM is the game changer and the most paramount component of all Purple’s mattresses. For back support, it contours the body perfectly while eliminating pressure points. As you immerse yourself into any of the purple mattresses, they automatically adjust to the nature of your body and provides No Pressure Support.

Furthermore, the Purple Grid ^TM is designed to go flexible when it receives the weight of your body, this makes it cradle your shoulders and hips in sweet comfort while offering total back support.

Trial and Warrenty

Layla Mattresses9.1

For both mattresses, it’s 120-nights money-back guarantee. You try the mattresses for 120-nights to see if it works for you. If it doesn’t, you can return them and get your money back in full.

Purple Mattresses7.8

Sleeping Type

Layla Mattresses9.1

Layla Mattress

With two firmness options available, If you are a side sleeper, you can simply stick with the soft side. This layer offers better pressure relief generally for a side sleeper.

For the back sleeper, you are covered on both sides. They both help in the even distribution of your weight around the mattress so you don’t feel pressure anywhere. Both sides work very well for the back sleeper.

For the regular stomach sleeper, the firm side is ideal. It offers great support for the hips.

Layla Hybrid Mattress

Same double firmness options, the soft side is ideal for every side sleeper. It offers pressure relief and allows the sleeper to get immersed into the mattress. It also eases the pressure off the hips and shoulders.

For back sleepers, both sides are great. The soft side offers better spine alignment and contouring, allowing the sleeper to sink in for premium comfort. Pressure relief is also effective on the firm side.

For the stomach sleeper, the soft side might be too soft, and too much sinking can affect the alignment of the spine. So the firm side is a better option.

Purple Mattresses7.8

The Purple Grid ^TM in all three mattresses cater for the need of all sleepers and their varied positions. The mattresses immediately adapt to your body as you lie on them and also adapts to your sleeping position.

They provide support for your curves and provide the needed firmness or softness for any sleeping position you decide to use in the course of your sleep.

Dimensions

Conclusion

Layla and Purple are both in the new generation of mattresses that revived traditional springs and boxed them. Layla has two mattresses: one original and one hybrid (both are flippable) while Purple has three: one original and two hybrid mattresses.

Comfort can be derived from the Purple mattresses through its patented Purple Grid^TM technology that makes its mattresses to be soft, breathable, cool and supportive.

Purple offers all three mattresses on medium-firm level in the firmness scale which is ideal for every sleeper but not the best.

Layla on the other hand is a superior brand with its flippable mattress and hybrid. With the flippable, Layla covered side sleepers and back sleepers. All they need do is just to flip the mattress and the firm side comes to the top while the soft side goes to the bottom.

Layla’s mattresses are more durable and its original mattress comes with a lifetime warranty for assurance.
