Purple uses a unique bucking column gel they call Hyper-Elastic Polymer. There is more about buckling column gel in this article and in post #2 here and the posts it links to and a forum search on " buckling column gel" will also bring up more comments and feedback about it as well.
The Purple mattress has been discussed quite a bit on the forum and it is covered in the Simplified Choice thread here and you can also perform a search on Purple here for other posts mentioning this product.

I’ve been searching the site but haven’t found the complete story on the purple mattresses. Sounds like the materials are good from a quality standpoint and that there is a bit of a love/hate with the buckling column gel. I noticed a lot of negative reviews around sagging with the original purple mattress straight from their site. Sounds like they had some defects and I was curious if those quality issues have been resolved in the new purple hybrid premier beds? I am a side sleeper that is currently in physical therapy for shoulder pain and I think my current too firm mattress may have something to do with it. I’m very interested in the bucking gel but want to make sure I know what I’m getting into with purple. Any thought or other recommendations would be appreciated
