With my old mattress, i was constantly waking up with back pains. Now with Purple, I sleep and wake up extremely refreshed which is something I haven't experienced for a long time. I would say the original mattress is not firm by any means. Its more on the softer side due to the design.

On the positive side, the purple mattress is cool and it doesn't crater like some memory foam mattresses. On the negative side, at least for side sleepers, is that it is extremely firm. It would be a great mattress for back and stomach sleepers. But side sleepers, beware. There just isn't enough give to it to avoid pressure points. Because I'm a side sleeper, I'm only giving it two stars. If it weren't for the two positives I've mentioned, it would have been only one.

I ordered two twin XL mattresses for our king bed. Our old mattress was not providing enough support and we were having back pain. Long story short...my husband LOVES the purple mattress. Sadly, I started out loving it, but with each week that passed, my hip pain and stiffness got worse to the point I couldn't pick up anything from the floor, sit comfortably, do ordinary chores etc. I started sleeping on the floor and within days I was back to my old self. Just this week I made the call to get a refund for my twin, but my husband is keeping his. Even though it gave me a great night's sleep, my body could not handle the Purple. _

My husband and I made the switch from a Sleep Number bed. After having some issues with the SleepNumber, we returned it and bought the Purple Mattress instead. [We both had similar number settings, so figured we would try something else.] Not only is this mattress MUCH more affordable, but it is so comfortable and we both sleep way better on it from day 1. I'll admit, I was HIGHLY skeptical, especially after all the trouble we'd been through with the SleepNumber. The mattress seems firmer than you'd think when you first sit or lie down on it, but after about a minute your body has settled in/adjusted to it and it fully supports you. We've had it for a couple months now and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone. [Just for the record, I am pregnant and due in a couple weeks. This mattress has been fantastic during the end of my pregnancy.]

Friends told me how good it felt to sleep on, so I bought and am so pleased. It's hard to explain why I sleep so good but I do. The pillow needed some adjusting bh adding a pillow inside since the purple pillow no longer comes with a boater to fit inside for height.

My husband and I were a little skeptical at first, with the strange "commercial" and the egg demonstration etc... We decided to take a chance and just do it. We ordered the King size mattress and couldn't believe how it arrived all rolled up just like they said it would. As soon as we laid down on it we both let out a big AHWAHH!! It was so comfortable. We've had it for about 45 days now and couldn't be happier with our choice in mattresses! Both our kids keep asking us when they can get one. LOL!@

Who could not love the egg commercial? But the proof is in the pudding. Good bye hip and back pain while sleeping. We went back to king from queen...9 extra inches for each. Regardless, there is no motion emotion. The adult kids are always sneaking upstairs for a stretch of purple. While driving...at work...at worship...the butt pads (yes we have 4) are cloudivine.

I decided to go with Purple, not only because my sister had one but, because my mom had a mattress from one of those other "bed in a box" companies; and she regretted it! When my husband and I started sleeping on our Purple, we both had daily pains. Him with his sore shoulders, and me with pain in my lower back and hips. Not even a whole month later and we both can see a dramatic difference. I don't wake up stiff or with any pain. I am forever thankful for my Purple!

The mattress over all is great and comfortable. Upon arrival we watched the video we were sent to open the mattress and is said there would be a information packet and a cutter to open the mattress bag it comes in. We unzip the mattress bag and there is no packet or cutter, just a broken red sharpie. We the. had to manage to pull the bag off the mattress, once we finally get the mattress out we realized there was so information packet or cutter at all, the only thing that was in there was our shipping slip, the sharpie and the mattress. I'm guessing someone just messed up and put the wrong thing in the bag, but could've easily stained our new mattress. The mattress is wonderful and we are sleeping a lot better and would recommend.

My daughter feel and broke her back in HS and had a hard time sleeping on normal beds after that. We tried foam and soft beds, but the pain was persistent. Then she saw the purple commercial and asked to try it . Of course we got it. And, she no longer needs pain meds and sleeps well. Totally and completely committed to Purple! Thank you
