This is simple... I would wake up with back pain and wake up every few hours. Unable to sleep all night. I got this mattres after lots of research. I am happy to report that I am able to sleep all night, I wake up refreshed and look forward to my bed every night since I know I can now sleep

My wife and I tried several mattresses (Casper, Nectar, Tuft & Needle....). We have vastly different preferences, so we were not able to find one mattress that we both liked. We had a Sleep Number bed before, so we were able to adjust each side differently. After trying to find one king sized mattress that we both like (and failing), we decided to order different twin XL mattresses to put together to form a king. All of the other foam mattresses we tried were too hard for me. I'm 6' tall and 210# with wide shoulders and narrowish waist. I am mostly a side sleeper, but I may end up on my back or stomach during the night as well. Mattresses that are too soft sag in the middle, which is bad for stomach sleeping. Mattresses that are too firm create pressure points on my shoulders and hips when sleeping on my side and back, and that is uncomfortable. The Purple gives under my shoulders and hips to relieve the pressure while still supporting me everywhere else. When sleeping on my stomach, it doesn't sag in the middle like a hammock. It supports me evenly. Same for back sleeping. If I could change anything about it, I might change the purple layer to 2.5" or 3" thick rather than 2" to add just a bit more cushion for my 210# frame. But the 2" is comfortable for me anyway. I don't want to add a pad on top of it, as the mattress is currently the same overall thickness as the other mattress that my wife chose. It's nice to have the bed level across the top of both sides. She chose one of the other mattresses that was the firmest one we tried (that I absolutely hated). But she loves it, so we're both happy. I still think she's crazy for liking the hard mattress, but she's pretty hot. So it's cool. :)

We received the Purple Mattress and are very happy with it. It's extremely comfortable and I like a fairly firm mattress--this gives the right amount of firmness along with soft support. I highly recommend the frame made specifically for this mattress. Best frame ever! Don't hesitate, buy this mattress!

I purchased two Purple King size mattresses. I have owned them for approximately 2 months but I don't fell qualified to speak on their quality as I have never slept on either mattress yet. They were bought for guest bedrooms and our guests that have stayed at our house said they slept well and thought they were a nice mattress but then a few single nights on a brand new mattress should elicit such a response. I can say that the company was easy to work with during the order, shipping, etc. All the proper items were included and shipping was performed in a timely manner. If the mattress holds up as well as the initial order/service then yes I would definitely buy from Purple again.

The mattress is quite different. It takes me about 10 minutes to get comfortable but after that I am fine. I have been able to sleep on my sides longer than I did on my old bed. I find that I am colder in this bed so I had to put a fleece blanket under my mattress pad up to my knees. I haven't decided yet whether to get another one or not.

If you like a mattress with any type of support, DO NOT BUY THIS MATTRESS. It is so flimsy that it caused nothing but issues for me and my wife. Neither of us have any back issues or anything like that but woke up every morning stiff and in pain. The only good night sleep I had the last 2 weeks was the night I fell asleep on the sofa. After 2 weeks we switched back to our previous mattress and called to return the mattress (this is when we found out there is a minimum 3 week trial required before you can return it). Both of our sleep patterns returned to normal once we switch back to our previous mattress and the stiffness/back pain went away. Would NOT recommend.

We are not extremely impressed with the bed. It took about 3 months to get the bed frame so we just had the mattress on the floor until then. It's a more comfortable bed then our last one but it is not the most comfortable one either. It has helped some with the back pain that the last bed caused but doesn't seem to give that really good night rest you are looking for. For the price we will give it a bit and see how it goes.

I've had this bed for over a month and a half now and have enjoyed it quite well it has helped with my back and shoulder pain where by old bed was letting me down as off now am completely satisfied and am hoping for a long life with this mattress the mattress feels stiff but your body goes into place smoothly and keeps you supported I'm a heavyset man and would recommend to anyone looking for something different

I am glad there was a pamphlet that said it can take some sleepers up to 30 days to get used to the mattress. The first week and a half i was miserable, though my husband was in love after the first night. I am now extremely happy with the mattress. Although i highly suggest buying the purple pillows at the same time, especially if going from a soft pillowtop mattress to the purple mattress. It took me an extra couple of weeks of trying to get my pillow height just right so i bought the purple pillow. Love them too!

My oldest daughter was visiting from NYC and asked to sleep on the purple mattress to try it out...She slept for 10 plus hours and had dreams of holding business meetings, but they had to be held on the mattress.:) It was hysterical and confirmed for her the power of the purple mattress.
