Purple Renew

Sources & review notes

• Exact model — PurpleRenew 11" Gel Grid Mattress — Costco item 1743417 (queen). Checked 2026-11-07. Purple also lists it on purple.com as the PurpleRenew® Mattress and states that the only difference from the PurplePlus® is a Costco-exclusive two-tone cover. It is not the 9.25 in Purple Mattress (often called the Purple Original), and it has no coils, unlike the Restore Hybrid line.
• Type — All-foam: gel grid over polyurethane foam, no coils. Checked 2026-11-07. Purple publishes a 2 in GelFlex Grid, then 2 in and 3 in polyurethane comfort foams and a 4 in polyurethane base, with an edge-support foam perimeter. No foam densities are published by Purple, Costco, or NapLab.
• Firmness — Medium (retailer label) — 6/10 measured. Checked 2026-11-07. Costco and purple.com both call it a medium feel. NapLab measured 6 of 10, which it labels medium-firm, with only 1.98 in of sinkage.
• Height — 11 inches. Checked 2026-11-07. Costco lists 11 in thickness and a 109 lb queen; purple.com gives the same 80 × 60 × 11 in queen dimensions. Costco’s product name carries the height: “PurpleRenew 11"”.
• Price — $1,299.99 queen online at Costco (membership required). Checked 2026-11-07. King $1,599.99 online. The online price includes white-glove delivery, setup, and haul-away. Warehouse prices differ and Costco says they may vary. The same bed was $1,899 for a queen on purple.com on the checked date, with no sale shown. At the December 2025 rollout, trade press reported a $999 queen launch price.
• Trial — Costco 100% satisfaction guarantee (no formal sleep trial). Checked 2026-11-07. Bought at Costco, the return rights are Costco’s, not Purple’s. Costco’s published return policy sets 90-day limits for electronics and certain other categories but names no time limit for mattresses. Bought on purple.com, the Renew has a 100-night trial with a 21-night minimum.
• Delivery — White-glove delivery, setup, and haul-away included online. Checked 2026-11-07. Costco delivers within about 50 miles of a warehouse, with some exceptions; Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico may carry an extra charge. The mattress is also stocked in many US warehouses for carry-out.
• Returns — Return to any Costco warehouse for a refund. Checked 2026-11-07. Costco.com orders can be returned at any of its warehouses. A purple.com purchase follows Purple’s own process instead: photos, intact law tag, and a refund net of any discount and transportation deductions. NapLab reports Purple’s customer service quoted a $150 return fee.
• Warranty — 10-year limited warranty from Purple; 1.0 in indentation threshold. Checked 2026-11-07. Costco lists the 10-year warranty; Purple’s terms cover a visible indentation deeper than 1.0 in, for the original purchaser only. For a Costco purchase, Purple asks you to start the claim with the retailer and keep the receipt and law tags.
• Firmness — 6/10 (medium-firm). Measured data. A notch firmer than the “medium feel” on the Costco and Purple listings. The grid makes it feel springy rather than dense.
• Pressure relief — 1.98 in sinkage; peaks above 2.0 PSI on several side maps. Measured data. NapLab calls the pressure relief fair and the contour slight. Shallow sinkage keeps back and stomach sleepers level, but side sleepers’ hips produced the high readings. That cuts against Purple’s “shoulder + hip pressure relief” line.
• Cooling — 89.4 °F peak surface temperature (average 89.7 °F). Measured data. Only 0.3 °F under average at the peak, but the open grid released heat fast: 7.9 °F in the first minute against a 4.8 °F average. NapLab scores cooling 9.0, the bed’s strongest category.
• Motion isolation — 8.26 m/s² acceleration, 1.01 s duration. Measured data. Slightly better than NapLab’s 8.74 m/s² average, though the motion lingers about a second. Expect a little grid jiggle rather than a dead stop.
• Response / bounce — 0.3 s full recovery; 8.87 in total bounce. Measured data. The grid snaps back almost instantly (average 1.0 s), which makes turning over easy. Total bounce sits a little under NapLab’s 9.31 in average.
• Edge support — 5.50 in seated compression (average 4.06 in). Measured data. The weakest measured result. NapLab reports the grid collapsing at the edge under seated load despite the foam perimeter, and rates lying-edge support only fair.
• Noise — Minimal — top score in NapLab’s noise category. Measured data. No coils to creak. No decibel figure is published.
