This past weekend, Purple brought together employees and their families for an unforgettable day at Zoo Atlanta! 🦁🐧🐘   It was a fantastic opportunity for our Purple team in Georgia to connect, relax, and enjoy some quality time outside of daily operations.   From exploring the exotic animal exhibits to enjoying delicious food and engaging in fun activities, it was a day filled of fun!   We are immensely grateful for our community! Every Purple company event is intended to help us come together, save a seat at the table, and widen our circle. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a roaring success! #Purple #EmployeeEngagement #CompanyCulture

🎉 What an unforgettable day we had at the Utah Summer Event! 🌞   Our team unleashed their wild side at our private event at Utah's Hogle Zoo! The evening was packed with activities like face painting, caricatures, and more. Kids (and adults!) loved the unlimited ice cream, carousel, and train rides. Our team bonded over a delicious dinner! 🌮🥗 At Purple, we believe in celebrating not just our employees, but their families too. As a company, we cherish the moments that bring us all together, strengthening our community and creating lasting memories.   Thank you to everyone who made this event a roaring success. Here’s to more amazing moments together! 🦁🐵   #PurpleSummerEvent #EmployeeAppreciation

Ever wonder what makes Purple stand out in safety? At our operations facilities, our employees are four times less likely to get hurt compared to our competitors. That's right - our Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is 4X less than the mattress industry standard. Our goal is to have everyone go home safely each day - and that helps us sleep easy each night.   Watch our CEO Rob DeMartini and COO Eric Haynor share about our safety culture. They'll delve into how safety isn't just a checkbox for us, but a core value that we live by every day. Discover how we've leveraged innovative strategies and cutting-edge safety technologies to raise the bar in our industry.

Students often can't predict where their learning journey will take them. At Purple, we're dedicated to supporting their innovative efforts every step of the way!   In 1989, engineers Tony and Terry Pearce combined their expertise to create high-tech sporting goods and wheelchairs. By 1993, they developed Floam™, a lightweight cushioning fluid that addressed wheelchair users' needs.   In 1996, they invented Hyper-Elastic Polymer™. By 2013, this innovation led to the Purple® Bed, an affordable, high-quality mattress revolutionizing sleep comfort.    Purple's manufacturing plant in Tooele Valley is one of our plants that produces these mattresses, helping to improve sleep all over the US and supporting the local community.   Purple provides annual scholarships to local high school students, continuing the Pearce brothers' legacy of innovation and accessibility in sleep technology. Check out these photos of some of our Purple leaders handing out scholarships to fantastic students! #Innovation #Community #Purple

On Saturday, April 5th, our Utah Purple community was able to help with the 2024 Polar Bear Ride for Make-A-Wish Utah! It was a little chilly, but the ride raised over $53,000 to support Lily, the Make-A-Wish recipient.    Motorcycle riders from all over Utah participated and donated money to Make-A-Wish foundation! Our Lehi HQ and manufacturing facility in Grantsville, UT were two of their stops on the ride!   We love supporting our local communities! Check out some of the photos.
