My wife and I were excited to receive our Purple mattress, but the disappointment started as soon as we took it out of the packaging. First, once we unrolled the mattress, we immediately noticed that it was a couple of inches shorter than a standard queen size mattress. This left a gap at either the head or foot of the bed, which is very unappealing to me. Second, on the end of the bed that was in the middle of the roll when it was packaged, there is a slight elevation in the mattress where it actually lifts up when laying flat. On this same end, there is a deformity in the mattress so that it isn't square and the top (sleeping surface) sits in a little from the bottom, causing even more of a gap. So what this means is if you put this end at the foot of the bed, the mattress is raised too much to keep sheets tucked in at the foot, and if you put this end at the head of the bed, there is a gap for your pillow to fall into while you are sleeping. It's a lose-lose situation either way you look at it. In addition, the mattress is way too firm for my liking. The two inches of actual Purple material seems to provide some softness, but once you get past those two inches, you don't feel much cushion. This is the case even using the suggested jersey sheets that have a lot of stretch as suggested on the Purple website. It's also very heavy and difficult to move once unpackaged, but I don't hold this against it because I knew about the weight before my purchase. I know some people will find the Purple mattress very comfortable, but for me it's a no-go. I will be calling Purple for a pick up on this one.

The Purple is so much better than my memory foam. I was hesitant in this purchase because I have been a memory foam bed user for over a decade and a big fan. Purple is so much better. After sleeping on the Purple, my entire body is more relaxed and I forget my degenerative disc is there. It's cooler, more comfortable, and I wake more rested.

All the positive reviews I've read are right! I'm a side sleeper and the side I sleep on is the one with an osteoarthritic hip and knee. Not once have I awakened from pressure or pain in that hip - first time in several years. I'm recommending the purple mattress to everyone I know.

If you're anything like me, your old mattress left you in the morning with back pain, waking up hot and unpleasantly sweaty. Going to work and the gym afterwards is such a drag because the pain in your neck and back is just demoralizing on top of painful. So I decided it was time to throw out my mattress and give Purple a chance to prove themselves. It was love at first sleep with this mattress. In fact it was so good for the first time in a long time i woke up without back pain. I felt like a new man, and it almost made me want to sleep in all day and call out of work. This mattress has been worth every penny so far. In fact it was so good I had to buy the sheets, mattress protector, a Purple pillow, and of course take advantage of the seat cushions. Now my days are full of comfort from a solid nights sleep to a cushioned chair at work. Purple is the greatest.

I had been having severe shoulder pain. My former mattress was 12 years old and began sagging. With the shoulder pain and sagging I knew it was time for a new mattress. My shoulder pain really is gone, and also my entire life I haven't been able to sleep for long periods on my left side because somehow the way my hips are, it hurts my left hip. With Purple I actually not only sleep on my left side, but I seem to sleep on my left side even more than my right! Thanks Purple!

I am very happy so far. I do wake up with a sore neck and headache so I believe it is a pillow issue. Still testing it out before making a decision. My boyfriend says his shoulders are sore but he still wants to give the bed some time before making a decision as well.

What an incredible mattress! Have recommended it to my best friend and others. Was told the mattress would deliver later than it did which made me happy and allowed me to move into my home early. The free sheets were an unexpected and much appreciated touch. Great job.

I used to be a gym rat. I used to get things done. That all changed once I got the Purple mattress. Suddenly, days became shorter and there was never enough time to do things. This mattress is just too comfortable! Time sems to slip by so quickly when you're lying in comfortable bliss. All your worries slowly sink into the enveloping softness of the mattress as you lay there.

Sleeping better than ever. I thought our previous memory foam mattress was amazing, but after sleeping on Purple for a month, anything else feels like concrete in comparison. Purple is somehow soft and supportive. I don't know how that works, but it is perfection.

simply put, its too firm for side sleepers. i find myself waking up with shoulder/arm pain since getting the original purple matress. i will say though, it does help my back and is very comfy when im on my back, but since i cant fall asleep on my back, this doesnt help my case. i do like the matress. and am glad i got it. but like the purple pillow, i must say it is not for everyone. i guess im just not as impressed as i had hoped when paying 2x as much as i would have for a nice pillow top matress. i already have, however, recommended it to everyone i know who sleeps on their back. perhaps the purple 3 wouldve been better in my case, but at a 1100$ difference, i could never justify it, especially since, again, for under 400$ i can get a coil spring pillow top matress thatll last me far beyond 10 years, that i dont have to worry about leaving in my hot semi (i am a truck driver), and wont feel bad if it gets destroyed during normal use. bottom line, great for back sleepers, ok for side sleepers, and personally, for me anyways, it doesnt justify 2x the cost of a good pillowtop. unless you like firm matresses, then its great all around
