Purple discontinued the Hybrid 2, Hybrid Premier 3, and Hybrid Premier 4 mattresses in early 2025. The company replaced these mattresses with three new collections: Essential, Premium, and Luxe. Each collection has three mattresses in them.
The Essential collection is the most affordable, and the Luxe collection is the most expensive. The Premium collection is in the middle.
Purple said that it discontinued the Hybrid 2, Hybrid Premier 3, and Hybrid Premier 4 mattresses to simplify its product lineup and focus on its new collections. The company also said that the new collections offer better value for customers.
If you are looking for a Purple mattress, I recommend checking out the new Essential, Premium, and Luxe collections. The company offers a 100-night sleep trial on all of its mattresses, so you can try one out before you buy it.
The Purple 4 mattress is the premiere luxury model from Purple. It has 4 inches of their signature smart grid technology on top and below that are pocket springs that provide extra bounce and more contouring. It is surrounded by a foam encasement for superior edge support. I was just as excited to try this mattress as I was the original Purple over 2 years ago. In short, this is the ultimate side sleeper mattress. You will experience an almost weightless feeling on this mattress. If you are only an occasional side sleeper or more of a back sleeper, I would check out the Purple 3 mattress review.
Unboxing the Purple 4
Unlike the Original Purple, the Purple 4 comes in a box the size of the mattress. Here’s the box that my queen size came in:

Overview of the Purple 4 Bed
This mattress along with the Purple 2 and 3 are more of an evolution of the Original Purple. What sets these models apart is that they include a pocket coil system instead of foam. Despite having springs they still contain motion incredibly well.
Here’s a video overview with me on the Purple 4. The cover of this mattress stretches to work with the mattress. I also highly recommend the Purple Sheets and Purple Mattress Protector because they are also stretchy and breathable. They also have a heavier duty elastic band to keep the bedding from slipping off the mattress.

My Purple 4 Mattress Findings
This is a mattress that you really sink into. In fact, it is the plushest among the entire Purple mattress line. Below is a photo showing how much my 14 lb. bowling ball sinks into the mattress.
This is a very bouncy mattress as well but not in a bad way. You get lots of quick recovery with the smart grid system and true bounce with the springs underneath but despite the bounciness, motion transfer is contained very well.
Here’s a video to illustrate this point.
Purple is one of the coolest sleeping mattresses on the market. If sleeping hot is your primary concern, you owe it to yourself to try the Purple. You don’t lose any of this benefit with more of the smart grid. Below is a video illustrating heat retention on the Purple 4. It was taken with my infrared camera. I don’t think this video quite does the mattress justice as heat is constantly dissipating through the grid keeping you cool.
Take a peek inside. Here’s an up-close shot of the inside of the Purple. Notice how the comfort grid system bounces back instantly. It’s almost like a jello type of responsiveness.
Here’s a peek inside the purple. I pulled back the foam border so you can see the spring system inside.
My Purple 4 Recommendation
The Purple 4 is the ideal mattress for hot sleepers that want a luxury feel that is supportive and cool sleeping. I really like that they added springs to these models because it creates a seamless transition. People who have tried memory foam and can’t handle them because of sleeping hot owe it to themselves to give the purple a try.
