A few months ago I was surfing reddit and came across a story that had a bunch of neckbeards riled up. It was a video of some guy saying purple mattress will give you cancer or something. being an inflammatory piece, of course it was ate up by the reddit crowd. Being the contrarian I am,, and the fact that the material was of great interest to me, I decided to check you guys out. From all I could gather,, Purple mattress: 1. will not kill me 2. is a legitimate mattress 3. is good for your back. Seeing as I was in need of a new mattress anyway, I decided to splurge on myself a little and buy a queen sized mattress as well as a platform. The day it arrived, I forgot to call someone to help me haul it up the stairs. No worries, I thought. I'm a big man, I can handle it. Well, I ended up throwing my back out... so, I set everything up and took a nap on it immediately in an effort to fix my back. I find the mattress to be firm but with just enough give to work with your body.,it has a good amount of bounce to it as well. It doesn't make much noise either when moving. I use the Platform base with it and I imagine that it helps eliminate noise and assist in keeping everything firm as well. Also, and this is a big one, contrary to what that angry guy said, I did not die. overall, with its unique feel, It is definitely a different experience compared to your run-of-the-mill mattress. If you got the extra cash to spend, and prefer something on the firmer side, I would definitely recommend this mattress. I imagine I will be doing business with purple again in the future, I eventually plan on getting the pillow.

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.

...it is comfortable enough, and my significant other LOVES it, but to me it brings no stellar improvement, it hasn't changed my life, and the aches and pains I wake up with haven't abated since I started sleeping on this Purple. Sorry Tony and Terry.

I've been using a Sleep Number mattress for the last few years. It's basically an air mattress that cost 4X my Purple mattress. My Purple mattress is much more comfortable. I can now sleep through the night! I also highly recommend the Purple Pillow.

Never again will I buy another bed that isn't Purple! This bed has been so amazing and extremely comfortable. I don't wake up in pain anymore and I enjoy going to bed now. Before, I stayed up as long as I possibly could because of the amount of pain I had sleeping in a bed that didn't have Purple's science structure. Thanks Purple for this AMAZING and comfortable bed!!!

I came home a week ago to find a gigantic purple tampon in my driveway. It took about three weeks from my order date to arrive. The Fed-X guy must hate us, because this thing is big, heavy and awkward. I'm guessing he rolled it off the back of the truck, flipped the bird at my house and took off. Thankfully I have a two wheeled cart that allowed me to get this king sized beast up the steps and into our bedroom. Once there, I was able to roll it into place and slice open the bag easily enough. Mine came out upside down, so maybe it works better to place it at the foot of the bed and roll it out toward the top. (Or maybe I just had it backward.) My wife and I are not in full agreement on the comfort of the mattress. I have slept like a baby from the first night. She struggled for the first few days, but seems to be sleeping much better a week later. She also does not like the lack of edge structure we had with our former (interspring) mattress. The thing I like best about the Purple is the "Dead" feeling when you lay down on it. I find it VERY calming and I fall asleep within minutes, every single time. It seems to be both soft and supportive, something I cannot say about our 20 year old, very firm, Serta mattress. However, the Serta did hold up for a long time. (Something we will find out later about the Purple.) Although I am very physically active, I have had multiple knee surgeries and my hips generally ache in the morning. I have not been able to sleep under the blankets on our bed for quite some time. I have spent years sleeping on top of the bed with a light comforter to alleviate my knee pain, frequently with a pillow between my legs. I am now happy to say I am sleeping comfortably UNDER the covers with no ill effects. The bed seems to cradle me so I feel no unwanted pressure on my hips and knees. My wife is happy to see I have joined the rest of the world "between the sheets". I also find that I am waking up well-rested. I wake more easily, and do not have the stiffness in my knees and hips I had on the old mattress. Come to think of it, I have not had any shoulder pain in the last week, despite having ramped up my workouts significantly...so there is that as well. I have noticed that my wife seems to wake more easily as well, although she remains skeptical about the Purple. I too would like to see a bit more edge structure to the Purple when sitting on the edge to tie a shoe, but my primary focus was on finding a restful night's sleep and I have most certainly found the Purple to excel when it comes to quiet, peaceful and restful sleep. Thanks Purple!

Unfortunately I will be returning the mattress after I hit the 21 days which is the minimum amount of time you're required to have it before you can initiate a return/refund. After 2 weeks of sleeping on it I just can't get use to the feeling of laying on jello. It is too unstable and jiggly and feels like a waterbed in some ways. I also do not like feeling the grid/squares while laying down, it's quite a nuisance. I need a solid stable mattress. So I will be going back to a traditional innerspring mattress which suits me well. Make no mistake, this seems to be a high quality mattress but it just isn't for me.

I had been recently suffering from back and shoulder pain from my old mattress and I knew it was time to buy a new one. I've slept on a variety of foam mattresses while traveling, but they always seemed to get me too warm and I wasn't a fan of the softness. While searching for reviews online, I stumbled on purple. The ad made the mattress sound perfect for someone like me, and it really is! I've never had such incredible sleep in my entire life. The bed is the perfect balance of soft/firm and I have yet to wake up hot. Additionally, my back pain has subsided and my shoulder pain is nearly gone as well! Truly an incredible product and I am incredibly satisfied.

I have a custom bed that I'm not getting rid of , so added extra slats to support the Purple, but I still did not think it was frim enough and it was too low. My solution was to build a platform that fit inside the bed frame and sheathed it with 3/4 plywood for rigidity. It's awesome now that that is done, and I turned the mattress around--I thought the logo would face the foot, and didn't notice the tags (not sure if one end is firmer or not or if the wave on the side indicates anything, but I love it now).

I was a little on the fence about buying a mattress that I couldn't test out for myself. However, we took a big chance and after a few drinks one night bought a King-sized purple mattress, the purple base, and the mattress protector. Demand for this product has been high, and if I have any complaints it is that it has taken a long time to get here. Don't let that stop you from making the purchase though. The fact that the demand is high should be another indication that this product is popular and that there are many satisfied customers out there. The customer service is amazing. Possibly the best I've ever worked with. We love our mattress and plan to be loyal customers for the long term. Thanks Purple!
