When I first tried purple mattresses in a store, there were 4 options: The Purple, the Hybrid, the Hybrid Premier 3, and the Hybrid Premier 4. I loved the feel of the original, lower cost one, and the fact that it didn't have springs (no worry about squeaky springs in the future), but it felt a little too firm. The Hybrid 3 was better, felt a lot more comfortable, but I felt like the springs were useless and only increased the price when all I wanted was the extra cushion from the extra inch of the grid. I settled for the Purple Plus after mentioning this to the online support team member who said it would be a good middle ground between comfort and price for what I was looking for. So far, I really like the mattress, but I can't help wonder if I'd be better with the original Purple with an extra inch of grid instead of extra foam or springs.
