I'm a highly active person. I work out 7 times a week. I do mud runs and engage in multiple sporting events. In the past I've always struggled with lower back pain. I've tried a few different mattresses, i.e. memory foam, traditional, etc. Since I've slept on the purple mattress, my lower back pain has disappeared. I am a side sleeper and I find that the purple matress supports lower back and hip very well. I highly suggest this matress. Thanks Purple!

The good. This mattress sleeps cool. This is excellent for those who like a cool temperature when sleeping. It is easy to maneuver from bundle to bed. It conforms to your body quite well These items could be improved The mattress is still outgasing chemicals after three weeks out of the package and on the bed. I can feel the grid shape from the purple polymer top layer when I first get into the bed. The pattern on the purple polymer grid might be better if it were a hexagonal pattern rather than a square pattern. It would respond to the weight in a more uniform manner hence perhaps a better cushioning effect and maybe one wouldn't be aware of the square shape of the purple grid. It is a little soft around the edge of the bed

We're still within the first 100 days and don't plan on returning the mattress yet. Its comfortable for both of us, and our 10 month old on occasion too. Its a much heavier mattress than our last memory foam one, so change the sheets can be cumbersome. Its too early for me to give it a 5 star rating; I'll update if it doesn't hold up the way it should.

To me buying the Purple Mattress was kind of a leap of faith, it was as much as twice a expensive as some of its competitors, but reviews were overall good. I am a combat vet and i have back problems, and i specifically read a review from another combat vet who said this mattress basically cured his back problems. Well, the mattress was ok for about a year... then my side started sinking. I am 200- 215lbs and 6'2, so i am neither a giant fatty nor super dense, probably about normal proportionally, and the rubber where i sleep has lost ALL support and is now CAUSING back problems. The warranty is borderline fraudulent because when i finally thought "i should check the warranty" it says that the depression in the bed must sag at keast 1" without any weight- that isnt how the purple mattress works. The bed LOOKS flat, but when i lay anywhere else i only drop about an inch, whereas in the hole that i sleep in i drop probably 2- 2.5" and have no support at all. I also got the purple pillows, which imho suck, and the purple blanket, which we actualy returned. The best thing i got from purple were the sheets- they were quite good.

I love this bed. My favorite part is when I fall/jump onto it, it cushions me perfectly so it doesn't hurt. The bed cushions hips/shoulders/etc so well and we wake up in no pain :) I will say, the bed feels firmer for lighter people (such as me) than it does for heavier people (such as my husband). I tend to like more cushion, but this bed is firmer for me due to my weight and the one size fits most aspect of this mattress. That being said, it is still wonderfully comfortable for me :)

For 28 years I slept on a soft side water bed. It was time to replace it and I wanted to upgrade to an adjustable base. My search sent me looking at memory foam and latex, with springs never an option since my last spring bed was around age 9 or 10. I accidentally discovered Purple, and I am glad I did. I was worried how well I would be able to sleep on such a big change. Starting the first night and now after 2+ months I have slept very well. The mattress has met all of my expectations.

Love it.!!!! Got the pillow- amazed . So got the mattress so incredible. Don't have to roll. around all night looking for cool spot or comfortable spot. No aches or pains in morning, fall asleep faster. Every other mattress just a remake of same old thing with same old problems. Life so much better with Purple. Don't forget the stand for the mattress tons of storage created with it.

We are die hard tempurpedic fans in the house but decided to look for a cheaper alternative for the guesg room. We decided on the original purple mattress. Every person that has slept on this mattress has liked it and my parents actually prefer this over their luxe adapt.

i switched to purple from my dreaded Tempurpedic which i hated. within two sleeps i knew it would be better than the 7 years i gutted it out with the overrated other. purple sleeps cool! the spongy material is a little bit to get used to but i just think it's the best.

I originally reviewed my Purple mattress after a few days of sleeping on it and was not horribly impressed. I still had back pain and missed the feel of my old mattress. My wife was also still using a 1" memory foam mattress on top of the Purple mattress because the Purple mattress was not soft enough for her. To me, that seemed like it was defeating the purpose of having a new mattress. Why would I buy a new mattress so that my wife could essentially bypass the selling feature of the new mattress by using the same memory foam pad on the new mattress as she used on the old? As an experiment, after about 30 days of sleeping on the Purple mattress, I switched back to my old mattress (a very expensive one with air bladders that allows you to set a number independently on both sides of the bed related to how firm you want the mattress). At the onset of this experiment,, the "old" mattress just did not feel right. Apparently, I was indeed becoming used to the Purple mattress and found myself missing it as I laid down the first night on my old mattress. While I mentioned I initially felt as if the Purple mattress was too stiff compared to my previous mattress, I now found myself complaining that my old mattress was too firm. It did not seem to cradle my body the same way. As I mentioned, I was less than impressed with the Purple mattress initially. Based on the reviews and videos, I expected something magical. Magical it was not. When I returned back to my old mattress, it was with the intent of staying with it and returning the Purple mattress. After all, if the Purple mattress really was no better than my previous mattress, why keep it and pay for a mattress that I am not using or offers no clear benefit over my previous mattress. There is a full 100 days to try it out, but I figured, why wait that long? I have also seen feedback from Purple to some of the negative reviews encouraging people to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 days. When I read those, I tried to figure out what the big deal would be? What would change after 30 days that did not change after 20 or 10, or wouldn't change after 40 or 50? The first impression was important, and I was less than impressed. Anyway, getting back to my "which mattress is actually better" experiment... I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that the experiment lasted a total of one whole evening. After switching back to my old mattress, I woke up several times in the evening with back pain and, as I am writing this review in the late afternoon, my back still hurts. The icing on the cake was when my wife told me she now hated our old mattress (the mattress she used to absolutely love) and to put the Purple mattress back. She was originally wishy-washy on which mattress to keep. She did not hate the Purple mattress, but also did not think it was anything special... until she went back to sleeping on the old mattress, which gave her some significant back and hip pain. With that being said, I am indeed keeping my Purple mattress without any regrets and wish this mattress would have been available back when I spent about five to six times as much for the mattress I currently own. One positive thing that I must mention as well is that neither my wife nor myself have awoken in the middle of the night in a pool of sweat like we used to on our old mattress. The Purple mattress does indeed help keep us cool when sleeping, which was something I did notice right away. For what it's worth, I kind of wish Purple would sell the purple polymer matrix alone so it could be added over the top of an existing bed. I am not sure if that would work, and I doubt that Purple would want to do that as the bed is engineered to work with the foam layers it has, but I would have been willing to try it. I also have a split king adjustable frame, yet Purple does not offer such an option, so when I raise up my part of the bed, it elevates part of my wife's side unevenly, which means we must raise both sides of our bed together (which never happens) or I must be a little less aggressive in how I adjust my side of the bed. Compared to our previous mattress, the Purple mattress is also a lot thinner, which reduced the height of our bed. This has taken some getting used to for my wife. (As for me, I did not notice or care as much.) Considering how heavy this mattress is, I do not know I would actually want it to be much thicker as I would need a lot more friends to help me move it. Maybe that would be another suggestion too... Put some handles or something on it. Not that we move the mattress often, but when you do, it is large, heavy, bulky, and cumbersome. (Not sure how to add handles to a foam mattress, but then again, I'm not the bedding engineer like the gurus at Purple.) For those reasons, and the initial hesitancy I had when first trying out the bed, I had to give four (not five) stars. For what it's worth, my 10 year old daughter loved the mattress from day one and wanted it for herself when I too
