The Purple Kid Mattress is 7 inches thick and made of a layer of Purple Grid, a perimeter of foam, and 2 lower layers of soft foam, all working together and in a specific order to bring your child comfort and support. 

I love that it is a non-toxic and hypoallergenic mattress. It is Clean Air GOLD and CertiPUR-US certified, meaning that it has gone through rigorous testing for emissions, content, performance, and durability. It is made without ozone depleters, harmful flame retardants, mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde etc. It also show low volatile organic compound emissions for indoor air quality. You can rest assured that it is a safe mattress to lay your children on night after night. Do not flip this mattress, as all layers are meant to stay put in a specific order.

Machine-Washable Cover

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the machine-washable cover on the Purple Kid Mattress. Just like any adult Purple mattresses, the cover is ultra-stretchable, allowing it to move with the child’s body and into the Purple Grid. The Grid is there to cradle their little bodies to sleep, and the cover helps them rip the full benefit. 

It is also highly breathable, so the kid doesn’t overheat. We have very hot sleepers, and no one sweat on the Purple Kid Mattress. The air travels from the Grid up through the cover and night sweats are a thing of the past. It should also be noted that the cover is made of 35% Cooling PE, which helps the children stay cool at night.

My favorite feature of the Purple Kid Mattress cover however, is that you can unzip it and throw the upper part straight into the washing machine. The grey bottom panel should be fully detached and can only be spot cleaned, which is ok since it shouldn’t be getting really dirty. The upper, white mattress cover, however, is prone to spills and nighttime accidents, and it is awesome to know that it can be easily washed and dried so the mattress is always clean and ready for another night of sleep!

2″ Purple Grid

Then comes the famous, 2-inch layer of Purple Grid. It instantly adapts to their little body’s shape and moves with them. Kids tend to move around a lot at night, and the Purple Grid is ultra-responsive, popping right back up as the children move, so they never feel stuck in their mattress. 

The Grid is know for relieving high pressure points. With the amount of movement and growth happening in a child’s body, giving them a sleeping surface that releases that pressure is essential. They spend nearly half of their childhood sleeping and giving them a mattress than nearly feels like zero-gravity is super important. 

Lastly, the Purple Grid is made of over a thousand air channels and in a hyper-elastic gel polymer, engineered to stay cool. Goodbye night sweats! If you have a hot sleeper on your hands like I do, you will love the Purple Kid Mattress!

Dual-Layered Comfort Foam

Around the entire perimeter of the mattress is a layer of foam, which helps keep their little bodies inside the mattress. 

Below the Purple Grid come 2 layers of foam. That foam is softer than in any other Purple mattresses. It is engineered specifically for the kids’ low weight and will offer soft support for children up to 115 lbs. 

The kids will feel hugged and cradled in the foam, helping them fall asleep and stay asleep longer. Don’t worry if, as an adult, you find this mattress too soft – you will literally feel like you are falling through the mattress! It is designed for the kids, with their particular needs in mind. 

It is ultra durable and will sustain their little jumps and their growing bodies for years!
