I am a side sleeper with a bad back and hip. This mattress is firm but you do not feel pressure points on your hip and shoulder. I tested out the Purple in a store which turned out to be the older style. It was softer which I really loved. The new style has a smaller grid pattern that is not as soft so if you are trying one in a store make sure it is a new model with the foam trim around the edges and smaller grid pattern. I still love my mattress and do not wake up stiff and sore like I used to.

This bed runs cold as ice, you NEED THE STRETCH SHEETS, they make it much better and warmer. Initially we tried regular oversize sheets, they suck, dont do it. Back and stomac sleepers will love this. Side sleepers not so much. Im a combo , but mostly side sleeper, the lack of side position compression and how cold it was, killed it for me.

After testing out multiple different mattresses we settled on Purple and definitely made the right choice! My back feels great, I have been sleeping great and my only complaint is the fact that I now have a hard time getting out of bed. We also purchased the sheets and I use the seat cushion at work! Big Purple fan!

I've always had regular spring mattresses, never even owned a memory foam at all. I've suffered from severe insomnia, hip/knee pain, and back pain for years with no relief. Since I've spent a little over a month on my original Purple and the platform base, I've had ZERO issues with insomnia OR pain! In fact, I've never slept so well! My husband has ruptured discs in his back, and has never been able to find relief; until now. Not once has he complained of any pain since we've had our Purple! Believe it or not, even his snoring has stopped! I cannot praise this mattress enough! I hope it lasts this well throughout, or even past the 10 year warranty. If so I will be replacing it with one identical to it! I will NEVER own any mattress aside from Purple. You guys have truly created the best mattress money can buy, and it's worth every single penny!

I have damaged discs in my lower back. I was so use to a bad mattress that it took a few days for my back to relax. After that, I am finally comfortable laying down on my back--especially with a Purple pillow! My only problem now is trying to turn on my side so I can cuddle my spouse who is now sleeping deeply and doesn't know I am reaching for him. At last...some REAL sleep for both of us.

I have to say I was very skeptical. I suffer from a lot of back issues and after 3 kids, sleep is tough. I always take 45-60 minutes just to fall asleep and I wake often and very unrested. After a few nights on this bed my back feels amazing. I sleep solidly and it only takes me a few minutes to fall asleep. My only complaints are the mild smell the mattress had when we first opened, and the cutter to open the bag was unreachable and lost in the purple bag the mattress came in. I can't wait to try my new purple pillow!

Love this mattress! My boyfriend and I are sleeping better than ever. He had chronic back pains and I had a reoccurring shoulder problem and they have improved so much since getting our mattress! We're both good size people as well and I feel like the mattress really supports us without being too hard. I no longer wake up stuck in the valley like my old memory foam.

I couldnt be happier with my Purple Bed! With having a really bad back, I tried soft matresses, firm matresses and foam toppers and always woke up unrested and aching and accepted at 27 years old that waking up stiff and in pain each morning was just theinevitable. From my first night sleeping on my purple bed, I knew that I made a great decision. Since then, I have not had even a single morning where I have woken up not rested and more importantly, with none of the back pain no matter if I sleep on my sides, back or stomach. If you are looking for a great matress, why not try it when its has such an awesome warranty and trial period...its a no brainer.

I have had a purple mattress for more than five years now and love them. I've even purchased a couple for my kids. I tried a Nectar for three weeks and all that I can say was that it hurt. Purple is the only way to go if you have lower back pain and sleep warm.

My wife and I slept on our sleep number for over 5 years. We believed it was the best, sadly we were mistaken. It was overpriced and we were always falling into one another like the bed was bowed. We started our search for a different type of bed, we tried ghost bed way too hard. Then we got our purple mattress and it was like a dream come true! Our search was finally over, my wife loves this bed. Even I don't want to wake up from this bed, it's amazing I'm looking forward to many restful nights. As my wife says, "I LOVEEEE THIS BED."
