Purple is one of America's most popular bed-in-a-box brands, but they're not especially cheap. If you want a piece of that incredible pressure relief, but are on a tighter budget, I have two pieces of great news for you. First, Purple has come out with a new, pared-back model with a much more wallet-friendly price. Second, it's already got a discount for Black Friday:  $100 off the all-new NewDay mattress (now called the PurpleFlex). 

We rate Purple amongst the best mattress brands around, thanks to a unique gel grid that molds around your joints to provide soothing support without trapping heat, as memory foam can do. The USP here is the price – there's no twin size, but the full is $995 at MSRP, which is a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than the original. (If it doesn't sound like it's for you, head to our Black Friday mattress deals roundup for the top offers in the US and the UK, check out our general Black Friday deals guide for savings on all kinds of things, or see our guide to the latest Purple promo codes.)

Purple NewDay mattress: $995$895 at Purple

Purple NewDay mattress: was $995 now from $895 at Purple
The NewDay is Purple's new, more budget-friendly mattress option. The pared-back design includes the GelFlex grid this brand is known for, which adapts instantly to your shape to cushion and cradle your joints and keep you properly aligned. That sits on top of a sturdy foam base, with a stretchy, knitted cover on top. With this offer, prices start from $895 for a full (there's no twin or twin XL), which is the cheapest way to get your hands on a Purple bed. 

Being new to the lineup, we don't have much to go on in terms of price history or reviews for the NewDay, but what we do know is that this is the cheapest way to get that unique Purple feel, and that we rate this brand highly on quality and comfort. The two-layer NewDay design is the firmest of the non-hybrid options, so it might be good for stomach or back sleepers who stuffer from sore joints but need a little more spinal support. The two-layer design is only 8" tall, which is fine (and great for a spare room, for instance), but if you're wanting something more luxurious, check out one of the others in the range. 

In fact, there are savings across the full lineup right now, which is fairly unusual – the Purple mattress sales often only focus on one model at a time, or sometimes none at all. As well as the discount on the NewDay, there are price drops on the Original and Plus models (the latter being one of our favorite beds), as well as the more luxurious hybrids.

We'd recommend these beds to anyone who suffers from joint pain, because the grid layer will mold around your shape to relieve hotspots. They're also a good choice for couples, thanks to strong motion isolation meaning you won't be disturbed by your partner's movements.
