If you only thought Purple made mattresses, you are going to be pleased to meet Purple’s selection of pillows! Purple features four pillow collections: Purple, Purple Harmony, Purple Cloud, and Purple TwinCloud. Let’s examine these further by answering the question “what are Purple pillows made of?” The answer depends on which collection you choose.
Quick Guide:
- Low is preferred by stomach and back sleepers, those with small to medium frames, and those who like a lower pillow height.
- Medium is preferred by side or combination sleepers, those with medium to large frames, and those who like a medium pillow height.
- Tall is preferred by side or combination sleepers, people with large to extra large frames, and those who prefer a taller pillow height.
Purple mattresses are known for their signature GelFlex Grid design. Did you know that Purple holds more than 30 patents for its awarded cushioning technology? The GelFlex Grid adapts to your body shape, offering both softness and support. Over 1400 individual air channels dissipate excess body heat so that you can stay cool while you sleep.
Purple incorporates their GelFlex Grid technology in two of their pillow collections: Purple and Purple Harmony. Both these pillow collections help provide support for pressure relief. Purple’s patented No-Pressure support prevents neck pain and stiffness.
Purple also offers two down-alternative pillow collections. Both options are filled with hypoallergenic silicone-coated gel fibers that mimic the feel of down without the clumping and flattening. They are a more budget-friendly alternative to Purple’s GelFlex Grid pillows.

Purple Pillow
Purple’s original pillow is made with a 100% GelFlex Grid interior comfortable support that adapts to your body’s shape. Patented No-Pressure Support cushions and cradles your head and neck so that you don’t wake up feeling stiff and sore. A Purple grid pillow will help you stay cool with hundreds of open-air channels for unimpeded air flow.
How long do Purple pillows last? If you’re looking for a long-lasting pillow, Purple’s Grid is ultra durable and doesn’t lose its shape over time. The Purple pillow also comes with two Boosters so that you can customize it to your preferred height.
✅ Best for: Purple mattress enthusiasts and back sleepers
Purple Harmony Pillow
The Purple Harmony pillow combines a layer of GelFlex Grid Hex with a supportive, hypoallergenic latex core. The whole thing is wrapped in a breathable, moisture-wicking mesh material. Like the Purple pillow, the Purple Harmony pillow is a durable choice that retains its shape over time. Because of the Purple GelFlex Grid, ventilated latex core, and mesh cover, you can stay cool with unobstructed air flow throughout the night.
✅ Best for: all sleeper positions who are looking for support without pressure points
Purple Cloud Pillow
The Purple Cloud pillow is filled with hypoallergenic gel fibers that won’t clump, trap heat, or fall flat, like down is known to do. We love the cloud-like comfort of this down-alternative Purple pillow. Purple Cloud’s soft cushioning molds to support your head and neck to minimize pain and give you a good night’s sleep. If you’re looking for a softer feeling pillow, this one is designed to mimic the softness of a true down pillow. Rather than flattening over time, crimped gel fibers are coated with silicone so that they can spring back into place.
✅ Best for: sleepers who prefer soft pillows and want a breathable, hypoallergenic pillow
Purple TwinCloud Pillow
The Purple TwinCloud pillow features a unique design that combines two supportive pillows connected by a zipper. It is almost like having two pillows in one! You can choose a softer, lower support pillow or unzip, flip, and re-zip your pillow for a firmer feel. Each side is tagged accordingly with a “softer” or “firmer” label. On the inside, you’ll find the same silicone-coated gel fibers from the Purple Cloud pillow, so they both sides are durable, hypoallergenic, and allow for more airflow.
✅ Best for: sleepers who want the flexibility to flip between softer and firmer support
Purple Pillow Price
Purple’s two GelFlex Grid pillows, the Purple pillow and Purple Harmony pillow, are the two more expensive options. The Purple Harmony pillow is at the top of the price range. Purple Cloud and Purple TwinCloud pillows offer a more budget-friendly alternative, with Purple Cloud offering the lowest prices.
Purple vs Other Popular Pillow Brands
How does Purple compare to other brands? What about a Purple pillow vs Tempurpedic pillow? Both brands have brand-specific technology, the GelFlex Grid from Purple and Tempurpedic’s TEMPUR material. And both brands have specialized in improving upon the memory foam experience.
It is Purple’s GelFlex Grid technology that sets them apart from the competition. The two-sided, zippered design of the Purple TwinCloud pillow is also a distinctive design exclusive to Purple, and the material is more durable than memory foam, which can compress after years of use. With that said, Purple GelFlex Grid technology is also sturdier, so if you need a pillow that contours to your neck and shoulders, consider the plushest variety or stick with memory foam.
In terms of price, Purple offers a range of options. The least expensive Purple Cloud pillow is competitively priced while the Purple Harmony pillow is among the most expensive pillows on the market. Purple is not an outlier in this. Their price range is comparable to other brands like Tempurpedic, Bedgear, and Sealy.
How to Keep Purple Your Pillow Clean
It is important to take good care of your pillow. The best way to do this varies across collections. Let’s look at the best cleaning practices for each pillow type.
- The Purple Pillow: The pillow cover can be machine washed with like colors in cold water and tumble dried on low while the interior grid material can be hand washed in warm water with gentle soap and then left to air dry.
- The Purple Harmony Pillow: The pillow cover can be machine washed in cold water and laid flat to dry. The latex core should never be put in the washing machine. Spot clean only.
- The Purple Cloud and TwinCloud Pillows: Both of these benefit from occasional cleaning because it will actually refluff your pillow! Machine wash your pillow in warm water on a gentle cycle, and then unzip it to tumble dry on low heat and delicate cycle. Do not iron or use chlorine bleach.
