What independent reviewers found
- Sleep Foundation (Oct 2025): Testers found it firm. It supported people over about 130 lb well, but lighter testers found it too rigid and pressure relief was limited. The grid kept it cooler than typical foam, and motion control was fair. The edges sag somewhat when you sit on them. Page is titled PurpleFlex but its URL and images still say NewDay; size tested not stated; affiliate links disclosed on page. Read it ↗
- Mattress Clarity (Sep 2026): Firm overall. It held the hips of a heavier back sleeper well and suits stomach sleepers, but lighter side sleepers get little pressure relief. It sleeps cool, the grid lets more partner motion through than memory foam does, the edges are weaker because there are no coils, and odor was minor at unboxing. Reviews PurpleFlex (formerly NewDay); size tested not stated; free product received and affiliate links disclosed on page. Read it ↗
- Sleepopolis: Slightly firmer than average. It suits average-weight back sleepers, combination sleepers and hot sleepers, but not side sleepers, heavier people or couples. Edge support was poor, motion isolation average, and it ran cooler than all-foam rivals. Any smell faded within a day or two. Reviewed under the NewDay name (8-inch all-foam); page shows conflicting 2024/2026 dates; size not stated; affiliate links disclosed on page. Read it ↗
- NapLab (May 2026): Measured 6.5/10 on an 8-inch foam base with a 2-inch grid. Very fast response and decent cooling, but high motion transfer and only enough comfort material for lighter sleepers or children; one of the lowest overall scores NapLab has given. NapLab states the Purple Flex was originally the Purple Newday, renamed in early 2024. NapLab earns commissions on links. Read it ↗
- Sleep Advisor (Oct 2026): Cool, breathable surface and quick response help repositioning. Suggested for kids, back sleepers and light to average-weight stomach sleepers. Reviewer found the feel unusual and did not think it justified the price versus the Purple Original. Page title still says Purple NewDay; the body calls it PurpleFlex. Sleep Advisor discloses referral fees. Read it ↗
