My wife and I have been sleeping on an old mattress for the last few years. We thought our aches and pains were just a part of aging. Then I decided to buy a Purple mattress. Most of our aches and pains have gone, we're both sleeping so much better at night and getting up less frequently during the night. This is by far the best mattress we've ever owned. Now we're just hoping the comfort doesn't deteriorate over time and be a lumpy mess in 5 years.

The mattress was great when it was new, incredibly flat and offered plenty of support. We have had the mattress for over a year so it is out of the return window. There mattress still looks flat, but over time the foam under the gel top has softened in the more used areas and offers less and less support. I am primarily a side sleeper and as the foam has given out it puts my back in more and more of a "U" shape causing significant mid-lower back pain that worsens through the night. My back now wakes me up well before my alarm. I have narrowed the back pain specifically to this mattress : I am not a big guy ( 5'9" 160lbs) and sleep better anywhere other than this mattress (normal mattress, couch, air mattress, cot, hammock, etc) without pain. My wife is primarily a back sleeper and sleeps better, but she also uses a large body pillow in addition to a standard pillow. In summary this mattress looses support over time, but may be ok for back sleeping, but not for side sleeping.

I'm frankly very disappointed with the Purple Original, I did extensive research into multiple brands because I knew I'd be dishing out over a grand for a premium mattress. Getting the 'Original' was an obvious mistake on my part, this mattress should not be over $1000. It's weird because the majority of reviews say this is best for side sleepers, I wake up in more pain now than I did with my previous mattress. I honestly believe these mattresses are made for people above 180lbs possibly over 200lbs, these are not meant for anyone below that weight range(my husband is 200lbs, and thinks the mattress is great, I'm 160lbs). It feels like I'm laying on top of a camping mat. The mesh grid only compresses on my hips and even then the 'Original' only has 2inch of the gel grid once you get past that it's like sleeping on a board. Oh! Also, in none of the reviews online (google) did it mention that you had to buy the purple sheets in order to get the full potential of the mattress. So going onto the website was super confusing because they say that's what you had to do. But because none of the other reviews mentioned this I didn't think I needed them! Also a mistake on my part. I will be returning this item once I'm able to find an appropriate replacement. I really hope that purple donates the mattress and doesn't just take it to the dump.

I'm very happy with my mattress and pillow purchases! I was a bit nervous due to the big purchase, but I have been sleeping so well since I received them about a month ago. On my old mattress, I was waking up with a stiff lower back and have not experienced that again since sleeping on my Purple mattress. So happy!

I bought the xl twin, which was pretty expensive for similar mattress this size. After a few weeks using mattress, it every un comfortable, once your in bed it hard to get out of it you sync in the middle. The mattress itself seems to collapse all the way around it into the middle the grid is very uncomfortable doesnt hold up every well. One. Postive note it cooler you dont sweet while tossing and turning.

I was having back, knee and hip pain when I woke up in the morning. I didn't even make the association that my mattress might be part of the problem, but when I moved to my new house we bought a bigger bed and a new Purple mattress. The pain has gone away and I feel that I'm sleeping better and more soundly. The only problem that we had was that the new sheets that we bought were a little bit bigger than the mattress. Purple now sells sheets, so that problems solved. If you're looking at Purple for your next mattress I highly recommend it, you won't regret it.

We've had this bed for about 2 months now. So far, my wife and I have less pain in the morning compared to our old bed. However, neither of us are in love with it. We don't have a desire to curl up in bed and take a nap etc. It's just a bed to sleep in, a good one, but nothing special so far. The seat cushion is great and really helps for long sits on hard bleachers while our son plays basketball. The pillow is not great, I prefer my contoured memory foam pillow. The pillow commercial is disingenuous as no one rests their head on the contoured memory foam pillow in the manner shown. I felt no neck support from the purple pillow. Not yet sure if we'll keep the mattress yet, it is good but not great and for the price of the King, I'd really like a great mattress.

Delivery- good. Mattress and sheets arrived within a week. Setup- easy, just unroll and cut out of the plastic. A little heavy to take up the stairs myself so would recommend two people. Side Sleep- terrible. The mattress is too firm. On both my left and right my arm goes to sleep so I cannot sleep on my side. I am 6 feet and 250 pounds so maybe too heavy for this mattress. Stomach sleep- good but I prefer sleeping on my side. Temperature- It starts out cool but within about 2 to 3 hours wake up hot. The purple mesh just collapses down to the firm foam and it traps the heat. Maybe they need to use more of the purple mesh instead of a mostly foam mattress. My girlfriend has back pain from this mattress and she sleeps on her back. Plan to return this mattress when the 30 days are up. Just does not work for us. Maybe upgrade to the purple 3. We have a friend who has had the original purple mattress for a year and she loves this mattress, so we gave it a try. She is also tall and about 250 pounds so similar size to me.

My wife and I have been enjoying our new Purple mattress for over 3 months now. It is the most comfortable bet that we've ever had. I used to have pain in my shoulders and back, but that has went away since sleeping in this bed. The only bad thing about our Purple mattress is that I've gained 10lbs because I no longer want to get out of bed in the morning and go to the gym.

As I side sleeper I was getting aches in my shoulders and hips. The Purple mattress came to my rescue and helped me sleep comfortably again. And every interaction with the Purple people has been an enjoyable experience, including order processing and customer support. Thanks, Purple!
