    What is the difference between the Purple Bed Frame and Purple Platform Bed?

    For the most part, it depends on the final look you want for your bedroom space. The Purple Platform Bed is minimalist in design – a strong but simple frame that works well in clean, minimalist bedroom environments.

    The Purple Bed Frame, on the other hand, offers a stylish mid-century modern design. With an upholstered exterior and wooden legs, the Purple Bed Frame has a warmer, more polished look. Otherwise, they’re both very simple to set up and require no tools. They are both incredibly strong, with anti-squeak reinforced joints that can hold up to 2,000 pounds. At the end of the day, the one that would work better for you largely depends on the final look and feel you want for your space.

    How does the adjustable base work?

    The Purple Ascent Adjustable Base can do just about anything. You can control it with the included remote, with a simplified 8-button interface. The Ascent Adjustable Base offers adjustable positions for both head and feet alongside a sitting preset to support you while working or relaxing. It offers one-touch flat position setting alongside a patented zero-gravity position, specifically angled for comfort to give you a near weightless feel.

    Did we mention the anti-snore feature? By elevating the head and torso, pressure is taken off the airway which can help reduce snoring, giving you and your partner an even better night’s sleep.

    Is it worth the upgrade for the adjustable bed frame over the platform?

    That depends on you, your preferences, and your overall sleep and health needs. Some people find that the ability to adjust the tilt and angle of your mattress can make a huge difference in sleep quality. It’s hard to beat zero gravity comfort as you drift off to sleep.

    Do the bed frames work with all mattress sizes?

    Purple bed frames come in the following mattress sizes:

    Purple Platform Bed: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King
    Purple Bed Frame: Full, Queen, King, and California King
    Purple Ascent Adjustable Base: Twin XL, Queen, King, and Split King

    How much space should be between bed frame slats when supporting a Purple Mattress?

    Bed slats should be placed approximately three to four inches apart – This allows enough room for air to flow around the mattress, but not so much room that the slats don’t provide adequate support.

    Which Purple Bed Frame is the best?

    That, ultimately, is a question that only you can answer. Each bed frame has unique features that appeal to a variety of consumers. First, think about the functionality you’re looking for. If you want a state-of-the-art bed frame that allows you to adjust your mattress at the press of a button and provides comfort whether you’re sitting, sleeping or working in bed, then the Purple Ascent Adjustable Base is a great choice.

    If you want something that looks simply elegant, with an upholstered outer layer, then the Purple Bed Frame might be your best choice. And if you’re looking for a sleek and minimalist look, you might prefer the Purple Platform Bed. Whichever bed frame you choose, you can rest easy knowing that you’re getting Purple quality, value, and performance.

    Will the Purple Ascent Adjustable Base work with my current mattress?

    It works great with not only the Purple Mattress, but any other mattress as long as it is compatible with adjustable bed frames. If you don’t know whether or not your existing mattress will work on an adjustable frame, ask the manufacturer or the store you bought it from.

    What is the warranty for Purple Bed Frames?

    The Purple Platform includes a one-year warranty. The Purple Bed Frame features a limited 5-year warranty.
