Spending close to 2000.00 on a mattress is a bit much but in hopes of having the best sleep ever I was inclined to make the purchase as I have bad lower back pain and bulging discs. Since I've received my bed I can say it is comfortable but I wish the purple membrane was a bit thicker to offer more support. Over all though shipping receiving and assembly was easy I would just ask for more support for the price you pay.

My wife and I are baby boomers. We've slept on upper end coil spring mattresses for years. When the first 'memory foam" mattress came to the market, we ordered one. It was like sleeping on a gym pad. Disappointed (and sore) back we went to another good quality coil spring mattress and were comfortable with it for years. Now, much like us, this mattress became weak & saggy. Our sleep suffered and the morning aches and pains grew stronger. Clearly it was time to replace. I researched various mattress types and brands for about 3 months learning more about mattresses than I ever wanted to. Coil spring, gel foam, memory foam, hybrids, etc. - the whole list of opportunities. All claimed to be the most comfortable, best to support your body and durable. I really struggled with buying a mattress on the internet without trying it out in the store but after looking at the customer reviews and comments about customer service with the 100 night test we decided to give it try. Purple was the only truly unique product on the market and the only real new innovation in this industry in a lot of years. Still skeptical, I ordered one of the Purple chair cushions first and we all tried it out. The final determination was made when I set the cushion on our bed for a minute and our French bulldog instantly curled up on it and went to sleep. This dog is a professional sleeper so his endorsement was good enough for us. BTW- you folks at Purple might want to expand into the pet bed market next. I think you'd find a lot of pet-loving buyers there. I ordered a king mattress on Jan 1, 2017. Purple did communicate that they were backlogged with orders from Black Friday & the Holidays. I told my wife that such demand was a good thing because they are obviously selling a lot of units, many by word of mouth I assume from satisfied customers. They've only been in the mattress game for the last 12 months so I'm sure they are dealing with some growth issues. The mattress finally arrived Jan 19. Yes, it was heavy & bulky but it unpacked easily and instantly went to full size when unrolled. No wait, no odor- just instant bed! I had read some reviews that said it may take up to a week to get use to the feel of this new mattress but not for us. From night one- we absolutely LOVE this mattress. We are so impressed we ordered one for our son & his wife and they are anxious for it to arrive. I wrote this review because the vast majority of those I saw during my research were from younger folks and I just wanted to tell my fellow boomers & other more senior folks that this mattress is for us too. Purple cost is in the upper end for the 'mattress in the box via internet" market. Maybe one or two others more expensive and then you get to the whole Tempurpedic & Sleep Number thing costing what a small car would. I would argue that the Purple technology is what sets it apart from all of the others and is clearly worth the price (assuming it holds up). Bottom line- I absolutely recommend this mattress to anyone for who a good night's sleep is important!

I'm very happy with my purple. I had to send back the previous mattress(eco terra) as it was too hard even with a medium firmness. I love the comfort layer of the purple. I just wish I could have afforded to spring for one of the newer models, I think I could benefit from the thicker comfort layer.

I eagerly awaited the arrival of my purple bed. I was not disappointed. My first night, I slept the best night's sleep I had in years. I have recommended it to dozens of people. I also got the frame, the pillow, the sheets, and I also got the cushion for my wife's chair.

My husband and I are loving this mattress. Awesome sleep means getting up earlier and more awake! I threw my back out this fall. Learned my lesson: bend with your knees, lift with your legs. It became painfully clear that my mattress exacerbated the issue.

I bought the Purple mattress in part because of the reviews I read about how much it had helped with people's back pain. Unfortunately that is not the case with me. I have had the mattress almost a month and my low back pain has never been worse. I am usually a side sleeper but I'm having to force myself to try and sleep on my back to reduce the pain. Needless to say, I'm not getting much sleep at all. I am planning to return the mattress once the mandatory 30 day trial period is up.

The first night we slept on our Purple we were amazed at how little we tossed and turned that night. We literally woke up in the same position we fell asleep in! And, it was the first time we both awoke without any soreness or stiffness. It was a miracle! My hubby is 6'5" 350 lbs and I'm 5'2" 120 lbs and we equally feel supported by the mattress! If he moves at all during the night, I don't feel it! my only complaint is that it's so comfortable, you won't want to get out of bed in the morning!

I got the original purple mattress and it is just AMAZING! My aches and pains was gone the very first night!! My only disappointment is that they have a newer one that came out two weeks after I bought this one! I think I might like that one even better because of the extra foam. But, I'm still very happy with this one!

First couple of days on the new bed I was waking up about 2 hours earlier than normal. At first I was kind of upset about this then I realized that I was more well rested than normal meaning that my body was more rested in less time. About a month in now and we sleep all night every night.

I underwent surgery for a permanent ileostomy (like a colostomy, just in a different section) a few years before buying this bed. I've been a stomach sleeper my whole life and with my new medical appliance strapped to my stomach 24/7, I genuinely thought I'd never sleep comfortably again. Since then, I'm no longer able to sleep on my stomach or back. Being forced to sleep on my sides on the old traditional mattress came with more pain and agony than i can even express. My hips, shoulders, back were all screaming for help. Then ... I found The Purple People! Now, I will say that I splurged and treated myself to the PowerBase in addition to the new mattress. And, obviously, the sheet protector and sheets. But truly, PowerBase aside, this is the greatest mattress I've ever slept on. Eight months now and it's still as perfect in every way and the first night. There was no weird smell when I unrolled it. There was no adjustment period. The first night was pure magic. And the Base wasn't even there yet! Years after that life-altering surgery, I finally achieved comfortable sleep on my side. And have every night since. Plus, with the Base, I get a zero-gravity massage any time I please!
