I sleep on my side predominantly. The mattress seemed entirely built for those who sleep on their back or stomach. The first 2-3 inches of the mattress are soft and absorb the right parts of your body if you sleep like that. However, as I sleep on my side my shoulder does not sink enough. This leaves me waking up with sharp shoulder pain every morning. I have since returned my mattress. Easy return. I'd suggest to all to just give this a try. If you don't like it it's free anyway!

My overall experience was,and still is, absolutely wonderful. Having three separate fractures in my lower back,pain was constant. Then I was blessed with the best gift(toppedonly by my granddaughter) of a Purple Mattress. It's wonderful, I sleep better than I have in years and the pain in my back is barely noticeable. Thank you so much for an amazing product. God bless you.

I went from a very soft pillow top to the purple mattress. It was a huge change and at first I didn't sleep well. I back stopped hurting, but it look a month or so until I could fall into a deep sleep again. Also, this mattress is very hard to move. It's like trying to move a huge bag of pudding through the house once it's out of the purple shipping bag

I have not slept this well in many years, despite spending thousands on "high end" mattresses. This mattress delivers on what it promises. The biggest thing for me is it has eliminated the pressure points I had, particularly with my left hip! After only a couple of weeks, my his pain is gone, and so is my right shoulder pain. I highly recommend this mattress for your next purchase. A lot of bang for the buck with this item folks! :-) Two thumbs up and 5 stars!

I have Degenerative Disc (lumbar region) and fibromyalgia. I had gone through three mattresses in a year, before I found Purple, I needed half of a king size bed, because my husband is fine with his. Half of a king is a TwinXL. First night I slept on it, I thought I was going to cry over the relief in back pain. Due to two different pain conditions, finding the perfect combination of support for the my back and still be soft enough to avoid the pain of firm mattress setting off fibromyalgia's trigger points. I loved the mattress immediately, however, after a week, I did add a two inch memory foam topper to it. Spending a year looking for a mattress that I can actually say I enjoy resting/sleeping in it, is over. Even adding in the cost of the memory foam, the price of this mattress/foam combo purchase has been worth every cent! If you are looking for super firm, I would recommend the one named after the friendly ghost. If you want great customer service, excellent price and morning after morning of waking up without feeling like your bed beat you up, GO Purple!!!

I had heard much about the Purple Mattress and had researched for over a month. I finally decided to buy, and am happy I did. The mattress is good and comfortable. I was hoping for more body contouring, however, it is comfortable. Considering my previous mattress had worn out so much, I am still trying to benchmark if this is as good as a buy and if it measures up to the hype. I also do not like the fact that the "new" smell stays a bit too long. I actually gave the mattress a full week to air out before sleeping on it and washed the cover. However, the smell has lingered quite a bit. Overall, I am getting better sleep, but time will truly tell whether the purchase was worth the money.

I had the pleasure of being at a friends house when they had just received 2 Purple mattresses. I got to check them out before I ordered mine. It seems to take an inordinate amount of time to receive the product, but I guess it was worth it. I had issues with my old mattress at night. My hip would bother me and I tossed and turned all night. I do not experience that now, and I am grateful.

It started out great for me. For my wife, however, it was just ok. She struggles with a sore back. Now, it's very bad for me, and it's been very bad for my wife. I wake up with a terribly sore back almost every morning. We are beyond our 100 days, so now it's a loss. :(

I am very disappointed in this mattress. It does not relieve my pressure points as advertised and truly is not that comfortable. I stuck it out for the 100 night trail hoping things might get better. They did not!!!!! I called to set up the return ( BTW you need to do this before the 100 nights is up I did mine about 2 weeks before) They talked me into trying it a little longer giving me an extra 30 or 60 days I can't remember which. Anyway as life often gets busy I missed the deadline and am now stuck with a bed I do not like!!!! If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have let them talk me into trying it a little longer. Better yet I wouldn't have wasted over $1,000 on it. I did a lot of research on a new mattress and read the reviews on Purple. I felt I made the right choice. Unfortunately the reviews aren't as reliable as truly sleeping on the mattress. This mattress did not work for me and I would not remommend it to anyone. I am not satisfied with this product unfortunately I am stuck with it!!!!

I am so happy to have bought a Purple Mattress. It is by far the most comfortable mattress I've ever owned. I've been having back issues for a couple years now, and keep waking up in pain. I've tried about 4 different normal mattresses, varying in quality from high end to standard quality. Then I decided to try the "out of a box" mattress. I started with a Nectar mattress, and after 6 weeks of waiting, I never received anything, so I cancelled the order and ordered a Purple and a Casper. Both came in about a week, and the Casper didn't measure up even close to the Purple, so it went back for a refund. The Purple sleeps very cool, which my girlfriend and I both really enjoy. The sheets are the most comfortable sheets as well, and that was just an added bonus to being able to wake up pain free every day now. And it's just so heavenly to lay down on at night, with the soft gel top section on it. Thanks so much Purple!!
