I have had this mattress for about 3 months and so far its been fairly comfortable. on a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being vary hard its probably a 6 or 7 on the firmness scale. the only thing i don't like about it really is it sleeps hot around the lower back and hip area witch has caused me to want to sleep on my side half the night instead of on my back as is normal. I am looking forward to seeing how it will stand up over time as i am a very big guy.

This is an update to a previous review I made of The New Purple Mattress 2. If I were writing this update alone, it would be more of a 2.5, but my husband still loves the mattress, so it gets a boost from his 5. At first, I loved it as much as he still does. My back pain went away, and I was waking up feeling less tired. As time has gone on, though, I started waking up before I needed to. At first, I thought it was just because I was getting a better rest and so was just not needed to sleep as long. But, I have been waking increasingly earlier. Now, it's up to over an hour before I need to. In addition to waking earlier, I wake up several times in the night to flip to my other side because the shoulder and hip of the side that I fell asleep on hurts. Then, I wake up again with the second shoulder and hip hurting and flip again, then I wake that more than an hour before I need to with that first shoulder and hip (now slept on twice) burning with pain. For a while, I would lie on my back at that point, but I'm not normally a back sleeper, and so can't go to sleep. Plus, my lower back started hurting from lying on my back for that last hour or so in bed, so now I just get up after I woken a third time in the night, no matter what time it is. My husband has been tossing and readjusting more in his sleep as well, but it hasn't woken him, and he doesn't have the pressure point pain. I, on the other hand, feel like I've been camping for a couple months.

I've only had the purple mattress for about 2 weeks. I've slept better since I received it, than I have in ages. And I would recommend this mattress to anybody that has trouble sleeping. Purchase a purple, and you will never have insomnia again. I love it. The only regret I have. Is I didn't buy one years ago.

My overall experience with this matress is that of disappointment. I've been laying on and attempting to rest on the Purple 3" since the matress arrived two month ago. At this point my body is not rested in the same way it felt with the old matress. I'm a back sleeper and the mattress did not hold up for a month before caving in like my old matress. Or it formed a contour for my body to be held in until I hop up and off the matress. The mattress grid felt great for the first week and even the second week. Now it feels like there is no structural integrity to the area I lay. I like a firm reset to my matress and the first two weeks were great but now I just lay in a bodysized lump. I share the bed with my wife, she has no complaints. I'm under the impression that I would have to sleep in the center of the matress to feel the same effects of the grid as the first two weeks after the bed was delivered.

My new Purple original king sized mattress and foundation is probably the best investments I've made in years. My quality of sleep has dramatically improved already, and I have been sleeping on it for only 2 weeks! Amazing technology and simple set up!

I have had the purple mattress for two to three weeks now. From day one after sleeping on my purple mattress I have not had any hip, back or shoulder pain. After a few years of getting up and down all night from being in paid with back and hips, I can say I no longer have this issue and it is all thanks to sleeping in on the purple mattress. I have told everyone that I know to check out the mattress and give it a try. I will never go back to a regular mattress. Thank you so very much for making such a wonderful mattress!!

I purchased the original purple mattress because my old mattress hurt my back. The original purple mattress took about 3 weeks to break in, now my back pain has mostly went away.Overall the mattress is comfortable and has alleviated a lot of my back pain. I bought a full size mattress and believe the price for an original purple full size mattress is a bit over priced.

I've read that some people need time to adjust to the Purple mattress. That was not the case with my wife and I. We slept great on our first night with the Purple mattress. It is very comfortable when sleeping on my side or stomach. I can feel the way the mattress surrounds you the most when lying on my back if we're watching tv. My only problem is, I don't want to get out of bed. I'd highly recommend a Purple mattress.

My wife would wake up every morning bent over from a bad back and the mattress just did more damage. After a friend recommended the Purple Mattress we decided to give it a go!! Wow!!! Wow!! Wow!!! My wife wakes up every morning and pops straight out of bed!!! What a miracle!! Thank you!!

My husband and I are both wildly impressed with the comfort of this mattress. We both suffer from neck/back and hip pain that was worsened by our old mattress. Our first night on purple we woke up feeling more rested and in less pain. Now, after 2 months, we wake up with no pain at all. My husband hated our memory foam mattress because it trapped so much heat, he was sweaty and uncomfortable all night. Purple doesn't trap heat, so he's comfortable all night. The sheets we got with the mattress are exceptional as well for releasing heat and keeping us both at a comfortable temperature. I highly recommend the purple mattress as well as the sheets.
