Purple Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPL), a pioneer in sleep technology, has announced groundbreaking results from two independent studies conducted by SleepScore Labs. These studies highlight the significant benefits of Purple's Essential and Restore mattresses, which feature the innovative GelFlex Grid technology, in alleviating pain and enhancing sleep quality.
Study Overview and Results
Over two 10-week, in-home studies involving more than 3,300 nights of sleep data, researchers from SleepScore Labs evaluated how Purple mattresses compare to participants' original mattresses. The findings validated that these mattresses significantly reduce self-reported pain and improve multiple aspects of objectively measured sleep.
- 68% reduction in nighttime pain for Essentials users.
- 63% reduction in pain for Restore users.
- Essentials users fell asleep 8% faster and woke up 6% less often.
- Restore users experienced an increase of 3.5 hours in deep sleep per month.
Enhanced Sleep Quality and Overall Wellness
The studies revealed that improvements in sleep quality are linked to better daytime functioning. Notable increases were observed in how well-rested participants felt each morning:
- Feeling well-rested: 96% for Essentials users, 174% for Restore users.
- Self-reported sleep quality: 90% (Essentials), 170% (Restore).
- Sleep satisfaction: 127% (Essentials), 214% (Restore).
Notably, Restore users reported A 204% increase in their ability to sleep through the night without interruptions.
Statements from Research and Company Officials
Dr. Sharon Danoff-Burg, Senior Principal Research Scientist at SleepScore Labs, commented, "Participants reported substantial reductions in the impact of pain on their sleep, alongside changes observed in the sleep tracking data."
