I got the Purple mattress because my sister loves it and my friend loves theirs and I even had her opportunity to sleep as a guest at my friends house and loved it. But when I got my (original) Purple, it just killed my back. I did try a Nectar mattress first and that wasn't good for me because I'm a side sleeper, and I was sure the Purple was going to be the perfect mattress for me, but wanted to try other mattresses first. So with the Nectar I had a year trial, but I only slept on it for a week and went back to the couch. (I don't know why my couch is sooooooo comfortable). So, I got the Purple and I have tried it for a month and I just wake up in so much pain. So I think it's because it doesn't give me enough to sink into in my hip area when I side sleep. I needed up adding a mattress topper and I don't wake up sore anymore. So, now, I like it enough to keep it, but I definately would not have kept it without my additional mattress topper on it.

We are pleased with the sleeping quality of the purple mattress. Very comfortable and don't feel bed moving when my husband moves around. Disappointed in the fact that it was advertised as "king" size; but it is smaller by several inches than our regular king mattress. We do not have a California King. We were hoping that after it unrolled from it's packaging, it would straighten up enough to fill out the bed. IT DID NOT, so it looks cheap and incomplete. Very disappointed in that aspect. I had back surgery during the 100 day trial period and was not able to deal with what could be done about the size issue. The mattress is on the bed, but either the pillows fall off between the mattress & headboard or my husband's feet extend beyond the mattress at the bottom. We do like the mattress, but the size is quite a bit off.

Very happy for my purchase. Bought 2 queen mattresses and adjustable bases for myself and my 85 year old mother. She went from having to sleep in a recliner to sleeping fitfully back to bed. I too am sleeping better with less shoulder, back, and hip pain during the night. I also bought a twin mattress for a 92 year old family friend who was in great pain in his shoulder and back. He too has staighted a decrease in his pain. Thank you Purple for improving our quality of life. Terrific customer service!

Night time was actually a constant struggle, I have arthritis in my right hip. Unfortunately, I like sleeping on my right side. I go to sleep on my left, but, inevitably, wake up on my right from the pain in my hip. This happens several times per night. Thus, I never really get a good night's sleep, I awaken several times to turn back to the side that does not hurt. Enter Purple. I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning, sometimes flat on my back! I haven't slept like that since I was young. I don't know what is happening at night because I am no longer waking up to find out. I never have pain in my hip when I wake up and I feel rested. The Purple is so comfortable that even during the day, when I see it, I think, "hmm, I think I'll go lay down for a few minutes" just to experience that comfort. Another issue I have discovered is waking up late....my internal tendency to wake up on time has suffered. Due to Purple comfort, I have had to start setting alarms. I'm hoping those last two are just part of the new experience and will wear off after awhile.....

Purple as a company was great to work with. We absolutely LOVED our purple as soon as we got it about 3-4 years ago. I've had back problems for my entire life, I'm a nurse with a degree in athletic training as well as certifications in corrective exercise. It was amazing to wake up without back pain, however it was short lived. With zero change in lifestyle and habits; both my husband and I have been waking up with soreness/pain in our backs for at least 6 months.

We've had our king sized purple mattress for a few weeks now, and it's great. Very comfortable for both my wife and I and the kids love being tossed onto it too. Serious impact absorption; I can stand on the foot of the bed and do a face-plant version of a trust fall without experiencing any discomfort. Every other bed I've tried that on, my nose hurts at least. It's thinner than I expected, but you only notice it when looking at it. Lay down and you forget... possibly because you're almost immediately sleeping on the most comfortable thing you've experienced. My only complaint is that it is so hard to get out of bed in the morning... too comfy.

Sleeps like a dream! I was afraid I'd never find the right mattress, especially because I am a hot, side sleeper with lower back and shoulder pain. But after weeks of research and much hemming and hawing, I picked the purple mattress based on reviews and testimonies from trusted friends. Some warned me that it could take up to a month to get used to, but I fell in love on day 1. I've been sleeping like a rock ever since. The mattress has enough give that it cradles your hips and shoulders, but you don't sink in so deep you can't turn over or move around comfortably (like tempur-pedic). It has nice bounce back & stays cool all night long.

I'm a side sleeper and I have been looking for a mattress that will allow me to sleep on my sides without hurting my shoulders. I came across the Purple Bed on youtube and decided to give it a try. By try, I mean I purchased the smallest option, the twin. I was surprised at how heavy the mattress is even for a twin. The packaging was impressive. They vacuum seal it and stuff it into a purple bag. Getting it out of the bag was uneventful. However, they were wise to warn me not to cut the vacuum bag and accidentally cut the mattress. Initial concerns were that the mattress was pretty hard. At the time I was having back pain and it wasn't helping my lower back at all. I figured out later it was the position on my driver's seat in my car causing my pain not the bed. As I slept on the bed week after week, it has become more and more comfortable. I've had it for around six months now and it has broken in and I sleep great on it every night. I'm not a heavy person (165lbs). So, the break in might take less time for others who are heavier. Also, mine is a twin (temporary) size and that could have also been for the long break in period. It didn't take six months to break in, but I guarantee it took much of the trial period to do so. If you can, give it as much time as you can to break-in before you send it back unhappy it doesn't work for you. Any bed that feels perfect right out of the gate is not going to feel that way in six months to a year. I'd say most people should go slightly on the firm side for long term usage. After break in, it will be good. I'll probably be buying the larger size and make the twin a spare bedroom bed. I'm waiting to try out my friend's bed to see how it feels before I worry about that. Because of the firmness and break in time, I took a star. Its not easy getting a perfect, so I don't give them away.

I bought the purple mattress due to tossing and turning a lot during the night and not getting good sleep. Turns out it is not the mattress it is just me. Although the mattress is comfortable I still toss and turn at night and not getting good sleep. The mattress does not sleep as cool as I would have thought.

Every time I get in my new bed I just smile. I can't say anything because my wife said I finely did something right. LOL! The mattress is CRAZY! I have only one complaint. Making the choice between the original Purple or Purple 2, 3 or 4 was was a brain buster. And the price of the new Purple 2,3, and 4 is a wallet buster for us hard working folk. But it's hard to put a price on "Pain Relief".
