I've been researching to buy a bed for some time since my old pillow top bed was way overdue to be replaced. I actually slept in every other room other than my bedroom simply because I didn't want to wake up with lower back pain. I've spent a lot of time researching and going to mattress stores in search of a new bed. I knew I was going to buy a bed in a bed mattress but needed to determine what type of mattress to get. I've looked at so many mattress to include tuft n needle, amerisleep, sealy cocoon, nectar, bear, ghostbed, Casper etc. I'm a combo sleeper (back/side) and do not like to sleep hot. I have slept on memory foam and pocket coil mattresses which I have in my other bedrooms. I enjoyed the pocket cool mattress for the back support and coolness however I did not have as much support for my shoulder when I slept on my side. I enjoyed the comfort and support of the memory foam mattress however I did notice it was slightly harder to move around and slept a little warmer than the pocket coil. During my research, I came across purple and noticed it appeared to sleep cool, was responsive, and still offered support. One of my biggest concerns is sleeping cool as the summer months get extremely hot and sleeping cool is extremely important (my last bed, a pillow top, slept extremely warm). One thing that helped push my decision was watching a video on the purple mattress where they used a pressure mat to show where the support was. There was a big difference in pressure relief compared to some of the other mattresses I was looking it. I have read mixed reviews on the purple but after all my research, I decided to pull the plug and get one since after all I could return it if I didn't like it. After getting bed and lying on it, I noticed it was responsive yet supportive. When I laid on my back, I felt as if I was floating on the mattress however when I turned to my side, I sank in a litttle and felt support in my hips and shoulder. For about the first week and a half, my wife and I woke up with slight back pain and I was extremely disappointed because I thought I really wanted to love this mattress. I told myself I needed more time to get used to this mattress and I was right. I absolutely love this mattress and I have gotten probably the best quality of sleep I've had in many years. I literally dream every night which was unheard of with my old mattress. It sleeps extremely cool for which I am very happy. The only downside I would say is that I wish there was a little more shoulder support when I sleep on my side however I still sleep great (I didn't want to spend a lot more $ on the newer purple mattresses which are very expensive). Overall extremely pleased with my purchase and I would definitely recommend giving this mattress a try.

This is the first time I have written a review. I think the product, the mattress is a good product, but not for me. I bought the mattress wanting a more firm mattress, and loved the idea of the engineering and polymer. Unfortunately, the mattress is too soft. When you sit down on it, you sink, but when you lay down on it, you kind of float! It's kind of weird, but good. The problem for me is that I need a harder surface to lay on. I had a memory foam mattress before this, and it clearly was too giving and cocooning. What I found absolutely amazing was the generosity of the company in their return policy... I would use them again should I find something more to my needs.

I purchased this mattress after hearing reviews from a friend. It was very heavy to get up the stairs but the way the Purple team packages it made it very easy to move. Set-up was easy, no smell. I think I would have grown to like the mattress but my wife is much lighter than I am and said it was way too firm. I think she just couldn't get into any of the foam layers. Return process was easy. All in all a good experience even though it didn't work.

I grew up sleeping on my stomach and could never sleep on my back. I thought it was never possible. Fast forward 26 years and behold, I can now sleep on my back comfortably. I love my product and recommend it to all my friends. My wife basically calls me a walking advertisement for Purple, now I want to share my short story with you all. It is a great investment.

the original or as the say, the old g. it's very comfy, did lots of searching on reviews and i'd say the more sincere, down to earth, responses are rather accurate. never tried the egg test, won't either but i sleep better, and i am no longer ache from sleeping. looked at both the new one at nearly double the price, and the original. very satisfied in my choice of the original for the price point, value, and comfort. if you're a heavy person, stay away from the edges. enjoy the rest!

So far the mattress is everything I was hoping for. It stays cool, so you don't kick around looking for cool spots. It has helped with back issues. I dont get up tired and I feel like I have slept for the night. It was easy to set up, and no weird smell.

I have been on a temperpedic, which the wife bought and loved. I have been having back pain every morning getting out of bed, for years. I thought it was the mattress being too soft. I talked her into the Purple. I was skeptical. I have had it for about 3 weeks now. I honestly felt back pain relief on the second night of owning and using the Purple. It really does give you better sleep and all that science-y, stuff they talk about. Even the wife says I cannot return it! Seriously changed my life. I wake up pain free every morning with literally NO BACK PAIN. Would and have been recommending to friends and family

It took me about a week to get used to the mattress, and I finally wound up stripping it down to its mesh cover before it was soft enough for me to be comfortable on it. Maybe because I'm small, so I wasn't sinking far enough? Anyway, it feels great now, and I love it. My bed is my new favorite place, and not just for sleeping! I prefer it to my chair for reading, computer work, etc. Thanks, Purple!

This mattress is so bouncy it's almost impossible to sleep on unless you lay perfectly still. While that may work for single people, it does not work for couples. While it feels soft and squishy in the store, it feels much firmer and more springy at home. I would not recommend this bed and suggest a different thickness or brand.

Finally, I am waking up refreshed! My old mattress was obviously awful. I used to wake up through out the night. I would then awaken, for the day, feeling very achy and tired. The Purple mattress is fantastic! I am no longer in pain and I feel well rested!
