Firmness Info

One perfect bed, no more morning blues. Purple gives the best of both firm and soft with our pressure-erasing Smart Comfort Grid™. Wake up on the right side the World's First No Pressure™ mattress.

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

Three layer construction:

  • Top Layer: 2" Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Smart Comfort Grid™ Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating
  • Middle Layer: 3.5" 1.8 lbs density polyurethane foam
  • Base Layer: 4" 2.0 lbs density polyurethane foam

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

  • 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
  • 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

Comfort Info

Ventilation is the key to sleeping just right - not too hot, and not too cold. Purple achieves the ultimate sleep comfortability by combining a totally new material with a totally unique design. Purple remains temperature-neutral so you don't sleep hot and sweaty at night.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

Support Info

A revolutionary mattress designed for just about everyone. It's designed to not only help you get better sleep, but to soothe joints, release pressure on the hips and shoulders, and support the neck and back. It's designed to make bedtime the highlight of your day!

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

Comfort Specs

Purple's column design allows air to flow freely, preventing moisture trapping, extending the life of the mattress, and providing cleaner, more comfortable sleep. Thanks to the free air flow design and patented polymer materials, Purple naturally sleeps much cooler than memory foam, latex, and other mattress technology.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

Support Specs

The Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ Purple is a pressure-releasing material. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

Fabric Specs

NEW SoftFlex Wave Knit: 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). A custom, super-soft knit with tons of stretch so it can flex with both your movement and the Grid's. Its breathable material is also the perfect complement to the Grid's 1,800+ air channels.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
