Purple Twin Mattress
Score: 81/100
Tuft & Needle Mint
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Tuft & Needle Mint Twin is a 12-inch all-foam mattress that adds gel-infused, graphite-enhanced foam for improved cooling and bounce. Its premium layers increase cost and may not satisfy those seeking a very soft feel or explicit edge support. Best for back and stomach sleepers wanting a cooler, more responsive foam experience.
The Purple 10-21-23617 Twin Mattress features a 9.25-inch GelFlex Grid top layer delivering strong pressure relief and excellent airflow for a cool sleep. Its medium-firm feel and lower profile may not satisfy side sleepers seeking plush cushioning. Ideal for back and stomach sleepers who prioritize responsiveness and temperature neutrality.

Professional editors describe the Purple 10-21-23617 as the original, budget-friendly entry into Purple's GelFlex Grid lineup. They highlight its responsive grid technology and airflow advantages while noting it sits below the Purple Plus in terms of cushioning and overall luxury.
Professional reviewers consistently commend the Original for its responsive, medium-firm support, effective cooling, and strong value-for-price, while noting that the firmness level may be too stiff for those seeking a plush feel and that it cannot be used on adjustable bases.
Everyday users generally express satisfaction with the mattress's comfort, support, cooling, and easy delivery, though a recurring complaint is that the feel is too firm for some sleepers and the lack of pillow-top or hypoallergenic features.
