Is the cooling upgrade worth it?
Head to head
PurplePlus vs Purple Restore Hybrid
Both start with the same GelFlex Grid on top. Underneath, the PurplePlus is all foam and the Purple Restore Hybrid uses coils. Here is what that trade does to cooling, motion and support.
The short answer
Motion isolation is where they differ most: PurplePlus 90, Purple Restore Hybrid 70 out of 100.
Purple Restore Hybrid scores higher for all four reference sleepers. That is still a score for those sleepers, not a ruling for you.
Purple Restore Hybrid costs $3,344 more (published Queen prices).
No overall winner is declared here: the better mattress depends on how you sleep. Scores are from the Match Score engine v0.2 for disclosed reference sleepers (160 lb, no stated firmness preference, neutral temperature, sleeps alone; the same sleeper as on each mattress page). How scoring works

Six dimensions
Line by line, as the engine sees it.
Cooling, motion, edge and durability come from independent ratings and are the same for every sleeper. Support and pressure relief depend on position and weight, so pick a sleeper. A solid bar comes from data on file: an independent rating, or the mattress's firmness (a brand label such as “Medium” is converted to a number, not tested). A dashed bar marked est. is the engine falling back on the construction type.
