After spending 4+ months looking at all sorts of various mattresses, I luckily decided on the Purple 2. I'm a 46 years old, 6' 2", 250 lb ex-college basketball player. Having bad lower back and shoulder aches, I needed something soft, but yet also firm. The Purple 4 and 3 we're a little too soft and squishy, but the Purple 2, I believed would be perfect. Being given a 120 days to test the mattress, I decided to take the risk. I can honestly say that my back is ever felt better, I've never had such deeper sleeps, and I feel completely energized throughout the day with no need to take a nap. I also bought the adjustable base stand. The bottom-line: This mattress has been best investment I've made in a very long time.

My husband and I bought this mattress because of the high reviews it had received and the affordable price. Our old mattress did not offer the support we needed and it was time for an upgrade. When we initially unwrapped it we were surprised at how firm it was but decided to give it a chance. It has now been over 30 days since its delivery and we have taken the advice to sleep on another bed for a few nights to compare and we still aren't sold. We really wanted to love this mattress, but we don't. We feel it is too firm and is lacking the "cushion" element that a pillow top mattress provides. Sadly I think we will be seeking a refund and will continue to shop around.

Using Purple's base with a queen size. The best mattress I've ever slept on! Is a little firm to support your body, but soft once you settle into it. Love the airflow through the mattress, I have a ceiling fan above my bed and I can feel cool air moving up through the mattress. The price vs quality is great as well compared to other more expensive options.

Ever since we got a purple mattress, my husband and I feel rested when we wake up, and we dream all night long! It's hard to leave bed in the morning! And the Purple Bamboo sheets we ordered are amazing. We are both eagerly awaiting our Purple Pillows. This review may sound fake, but it isn't! We are in heaven. One of the best purchases we have ever made, because getting a good night's sleep is so important!!

Glad I spent the money. I like it. The heavy duty bag it came in is too nice to toss away even though I can't think of a use for it. The big cardboard pieces were handy in masking off the house from the deck when I stained the deck. Your info emails were fun too. jrg

The best mattress I've ever slept on was made by Hypnos, the company who makes beds for the Queen of England. I really wanted to buy one, until I found out the price. I decided to try People after a bit of reading, and I couldn't be happier with this mattress. The Purple replaced a Sleep Number, which was horrible. I sleep all over the bed, in no particular way, and the Purple is comfortable no matter how I wind up. Also, I sleep without a pillow, and this bed is just right for that. The Purple is firm so I don't sink in (6'4" 195lbs), and perfectly soft so I never wake up needing to move. I used to sweat at night, but not with the Purple, and it's August on the Gulf Coast. If a Hypnos is not in your budget, buy a Purple.

I was leery of the hype and obviously great marketing ability of this company. But when I received my mattress, I got great sleep, and I'm not lying about this-- my back pain went away. My old mattress had apparently been giving me some low grade, chronic lower back pain that instantly began to improve once I started sleeping on this mattress. My wife loves it at least as much as I do. It's worth the 100-day trial at least. Give it a shot. No mattress works for everyone, which accounts for some of the critical reviews, but I for one am a proud Purple fan. Thank you Purple for giving me relief and good nights sleep for an affordable price.

Love it love it love it! I needed to go from a king to a queen size bed so I bought another one. This is the o my matrrsss I will ever buy again. Ever. I love it. Make sure you use the purple stretchy mattress cover and jersey type sheets so the bed isn't hard. That is the only complaint I have ever seen, but it is only because people don't read what they are told. This is the BEST mattress ever. I promise! Lol. Really, it is great!

I wanted to love this mattress, but unfortunately creeping on it hasn't been consistent. Some days I wake up with my back hurting, and some days I wake up feeling well. I don't have shoulder pain like I have in the past, but I don't think I will be keeping the mattress.

I've had my mattress for now almost one month. My old mattress was a hand me down and I started to get severe back pain. My friend bought the purple and said he was in love with it. I figured why not, I'll give it a shot. I haven't had back pain since.
