What sets Purple apart from other mattresses?
Purple is leagues ahead of many of its competitors, and it all starts with what’s on the insides. The company uses a unique hyper-elastic polymer material in its mattresses that is designed to provide pressure relief and support for different body types and sleep positions. This proprietary material is firm and supportive, but it can flex and cradle areas like the shoulders and hips at the same time. Other mattress brands often use memory foam alone, which can conform closely to the body, but often offers less support.
The Purple mattress is also great for anyone who needs to sleep cooler. It can adjust temperatures for hot sleepers with the air channels within its inner grid material that allow heat to dissipate. Many foam mattresses tend to absorb and trap body heat instead, and that leads to increased heat production that sticks close to the body. Purple even offers a breathable cover that can invite more airflow.
While most mattress companies have some bounce to their mattresses, Purple also has more spring and responsiveness to its mattress thanks to the inner grid’s quick rebound. Traditional memory foam mattresses tend to have less bounce, which can make them feel “stuck.” You’ll be able to move positions easily without feeling fatigued after getting comfortable at night with a Purple mattress.
How can Purple help you get deeper, more restful sleep?
A Purple mattress is designed to provide both comfort and support to relieve pressure points and properly align the spine, which can lead to reduced tossing and turning at night. Its flexible polymer material inside conforms to your body while remaining firm and responsive. This helps keep the spine in a neutral position and cradles pressure points like the shoulders, hips, and lower back. If you suffer from chronic pain or simple aches here and there, these improvements can help solve all those issues. That means you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
The Purple Grid also promotes airflow and breathability. Its open structure allows air to pass through to help regulate temperature throughout the night. Staying cool while you sleep can prevent you from waking up hot and sweaty, even when the temperatures rise outside. Temperature regulation can lead to more restorative sleep cycles. If you find that you’re uncomfortable no matter what you wear to bed or how low you set the thermostat, you’ll benefit from this type of cooling that goes beyond the type of bedding that you use.
At least 11 employees were taken to hospitals and residents were urged to shelter in place on Tuesday after an explosion at a Louisville, Kentucky, business.
The Louisville Metro Emergency Services reported on social media a “hazardous materials incident” at 1901 Payne St., in Louisville. The address belongs to a facility operated by Givaudan Sense Colour, a manufacturer of food colorings for soft drinks and other products, according to officials and online records.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said emergency teams responded to the blast around 3 p.m. News outlets reported that neighbors heard what sounded like an explosion coming from the business. Overhead news video footage showed an industrial building with a large hole in its roof.

“The cause at this point of the explosion is unknown,” Greenberg said in a news conference. No one died in the explosion, he added.
Greenberg said officials spoke to employees inside the plant. “They have initially conveyed that everything was normal activity when the explosion occurred,” he said.
The Louisville Fire Department said in a post on the social platform X that multiple agencies were responding to a “large-scale incident.”
The Louisville Metro Emergency Services first urged people within a mile of the business to shelter in place, but that order was lifted in the afternoon. An evacuation order for the two surrounding blocks around the site of the explosion was still in place Tuesday afternoon.

A rare square 37-carat emerald owned by the Aga Khan fetched nearly $9 million at auction in Geneva on Tuesday, making it the world’s most expensive green stone.
Sold by Christie’s, the Cartier diamond and emerald brooch, which can also be worn as a pendant, dethrones a piece of jewelry made by the fashion house Bulgari, which Richard Burton gave as a wedding gift to fellow actor Elizabeth Taylor, as the most precious emerald.
In 1960, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan commissioned Cartier to set the emerald in a brooch with 20 marquise-cut diamonds for British socialite Nina Dyer, to whom he was briefly married.
Dyer then auctioned off the emerald to raise money for animals in 1969.

By chance that was Christie’s very first such sale in Switzerland on the shores of Lake Geneva, with the emerald finding its way back to the 110th edition this year.
It was bought by jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels before passing a few years later into the hands of Harry Winston, nicknamed the “King of Diamonds.”
“Emeralds are hot right now, and this one ticks all the boxes,” said Christie’s EMEA Head of Jewellery Max Fawcett. “…We might see an emerald of this quality come up for sale once every five or six years.”
Also set with diamonds, the previous record-holder fetched $6.5 million at an auction of part of Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor’s renowned jewelry collection in New York.
