Memory foam vs gel vs Purple grid — which is best?

Question

Accepted Answer

Memory foam molds to your shape but traps heat and flattens over time. Gel adds cooling but still compresses. Purple's Hyper-Elastic Polymer grid stays cool and never flattens, but costs 2-3x more. For most people, a gel-infused memory foam cushion at $35 is the sweet spot.
