It sleeps cool and is very responsive. The stretchy sheets are essential to get the form-fitting effect from the mattress. At 6'2" 195 lbs with somewhat broad shoulders I would probably ideally go with the newer 3 or 4 if price wasn't a factor because my butt and shoulders are hitting the firmer foam in the middle when on my back and side, respectively.

I was reluctant about buying this bed.. I mean it comes in the mail... I couldn't test it out.. This was the BEST decision I made. I no longer wake up with sore back or headaches. My husband who had insomnia now sleeps through the night.. Who would of thought a mattress could do all this.. THANK YOU PURPLE!

We really wanted this mattress to work for us. We are still trying to make it work but I'm not sure it's a right fit for us. I have two buldging discs and thought his would be a right fit but I find myself sleeping in the couch a lot more because I don't get a good nights rest on the purple. My husband has not slept a full night on the bed yet. We figured we weren't giving it enough time so we kept sleeping on it. Ultimately, I think we will be getting rid of it. Not very happy I'm sorry.

We have had a couple different foam mattresses. My wife had back pain with both of them. Once we stumbled upon Purple we figured we could try it out. Since we got our mattress about a month ago, she hasn't complained of her back pain. I wake up feeling well rested. The mattress has a springy feel when you first lay down, then it just cradles you. I would recommend this mattress to everyone.

We initially had the Purple 4 and that was supremely comfortable. We exchanged it for a 3 because my husband sleeps on his back mostly and I am a side sleeper. I was surprised at the difference between the 2 mattresses. It feels quite firm but still is very comfortable. I thought I would wake up sore but that was not the case. When this mattress needs to be replaced I definitely want to go back to the Purple 4. I recommend buying the metal base because of the great storage under it. Maybe down the road Purple can offer different firmnesses on each side so both can be happy.

I bought my first Purple mattress (a queen size) several years ago. Then I downsized my house, so sold the mattress w/adjustable frame to my brother. I loved my Purple and really wanted to buy another, but when I downsized, I needed a mattress more quickly than could be provided by Purple, so I purchased a memory foam mattress from another company (single sized). After a year on the memory foam mattress, I really missed my Purple, so gave the single mattress to my daughter to use as a guest mattress and came back to my fabulous Purple mattress. I've been sleeping on the new mattress for a couple of weeks and what I remembered was true. This is the best mattress I have ever slept on and I'll never go back to a memory foam mattress. I sleep all night, am totally comfortable, and refreshed when I wake in the morning. Hooray for Purple!

After I started using it I was waking up at 3 AM and feeling really rested. I would fall back to sleep and get up closer to 5:30. This happened over and over again. I have concluded that I am getting longer periods if REM sleep; which is making me feel more rested. I also feel more rested tge next day so I can say that this has genuinely been a good purchase. I got the mattrices pad and sheets too, so those may contribute to my good sleep too. I really like it so far and I look forward to testing further. My kids like it too, so it is not unusual to find all if us crashed on a Saturday night and sleeping peacefully. They did not crash in my old bed so I guess I just have to deal with it. Getting better sleep and drinking a lot more water has really been a great combo this Fall.

Unfortunately we never fell in love with our mattress. Two sleepless weeks in I broke down crying, I couldn't do another night. I was worried I was going to go through a lot returning it but Purple was so nice! NO guilting, no "You need to sleep on it longer". They made it very easy for me to donate it to a local church in town, didn't even have to mail my receipt but sent them a picture and saved the stamp, my money was even back in my account that day! If you can't sleep, they're not going to drag you through the coals. Thank You Purple -Angelica and David in WI

This bed has changed the way we sleep! We no longer feel each other moving in the middle of the night and as such, have been reaping the rewards of restful night sleeps for many nights now! We stay cool and don't feel 'smothered" in the softness of the bed; the firmness of the bed ensures we wake up free of aches and pains! I can't say enough positive things about the bed. As far as ordering and delivery, this was a cinch too. The only unpleasant circumstance was that the edges of the bed at the top and bottom took some time to 'unravel' and still haven't fully done so or maybe the mattress is just a tad shorter than traditional? Because of this, our king size mattress is a bit petite in comparison to our king size frame. Overall, not a big concern.

The Purple mattress was the best thing since sliced bread for the first few weeks compared to our old bed, However after that it just became like any other bed it was just there and we slept in it. We are about a year and half into the purple mattress and it does seem that it has sagged a small amount as i have started waking up with a slight discomfort. I am going to give it 2 more months to see if its me or the bed then i will update this review.
