So here is a preliminary review right before my first night of rest on the Purple. I will be posting more reviews in the future... Upon un-boxing the mattress, I immediately noticed how thin it was. The first impression was that it should be much thicker like most mattresses. But as soon as my girlfriend and I laid on it, we understood why the Purple was constructed like that. It seriously has amazing balance for being so thin. Now when we tested it out, our initial reaction was exactly the same. We felt that it was really firm as we tried different sleeping positions. But we really liked the way it felt. Although at first it was firm, the patented materials really shined because we could feel all of our key body areas and pressure points being completely supported. It was very interesting because we've never felt anything like it. So afterwards, we began to completely rearrange our room whilst lounging and taking breaks; laying on the Purple and relaxing. Thought the day we laid on it a few more times and talked about things etc. Later in the evening we ran some errands, ate a nice dinner and returned home. At this point, we tried it out again but this time we applied our bedding; sheets, mattress cover, blankets etc. We really felt so comfortable and cozy on there. Now we did think it was a little on the firm side throughout the day, but once all of our bedding and pillows were there, it felt so great that the firmness wasn't even a thought anymore. It just felt "right." Again, a perfect balance. Not too soft, and not too firm. I believe the body just has to adjust to the combination of materials that are present within the mattress. So the truth so far is that one must try it out first and attempt to leave behind any initial qualms or concerns at first. The more you lay on it, the more the body will adjust. I had a certai opinion of it at the beginning of the day, but now, its indescribable. We are totally loving the mattress and my girlfriend just passed out. She usually is awake at this hour but for some reason, she's off to dream land somewhat earlier than usual. So it seems as if this is working out! I'm loving it so far and I am excited to go to sleep in a few moments. It was interesting having all these mixed opinions, then throughout the day/night developing an entirely new opinion. Quite frankly, I've never been so excited to sleep in my life. So for now, I'm headed to that Purple and sleeping the night away. It's so comfortable and I am really glad we made the choice to purchase it. So, there's pretty much my first review. Let's hope the coming weeks and months are positive with the Purple!
