The Mayress itself was much softer than I expected. I am used to more firm but I do sleep well in this mattress. I can feel and obvious difference in getting or waking up. I feel much less aching or soreness. During checkout I was told by online support that I would automatically receive the Free purple pillow as this was the promotion at the time however that was never honored.

So my wife and I have been sleeping on the Purple mattress for close to a month now. Our last mattress was 7.5 years old but it's been a real problem for a while now and it got to the point where I would sleep all night and wake up feeling like I slept a fraction of what I did. She was complaining of restless sleep and a painful knee from how she slept which she would use a pillow to help comfort her knees. Knowing how moving to a new mattress could take time for our bodies to adjust and fully expecting a rough start because of just HOW bad our previous mattress was I was prepared for the full trial Purple was offering. From the first nights sleep the change was immediate - my energy was up and I felt good. Confuzzeled why it was so smooth I went through a few more nights waiting for that harsh adjustment period. After each night not only did I feel so well rested but any numbness or pain I had previously from the last mattress after waking up was also gone. Almost a month later and neither one of us ever had to deal with any adjustment, it has just been amazing since the very first day. I feel fortunate because I know it's something to be expected so I think we got lucky. I can't tell you how great it is waking up EVERY day feeling well rested. I was seriously at my wits end and honestly didn't want to deal with traditional mattresses anymore. I've been researching these new range of online mattress retailers for probably 2 years now. It always came down to Purple being my pick because it just seemed unique and best fit our needs. We wanted something soft but firm but also supportive and that's absolutely what we got. I hear great things about the competitors too and many people are happy with those but the idea of that Purple layer seemed brilliant and unmatched. I was a tad weary of how it would feel but you honestly can't even tell that special grid like gel is even there. Since it's built inside It feels just like regular soft cloth material. It really does feel like it cradles all your pressure points and I really do agree that it's a firm mattress yet also soft where it counts. As for it keeping you cool it absolutely does. Even during this hot summer and humid nights, when we were a bit hot laying in bed, it never felt so on the bed itself. It helps you cool off much faster since the side you're laying on isn't absorbing the heat. Besides sleeping, reading has also been a pleasure as we don't constantly feel like we are sliding down as we struggle to sit up. Everything has just been better on the Purple. My wife has been thrilled herself and it didn't take long for her to say 'we're keeping it' either. I hope it holds up for a long time but the 10 year warranty does leave us feeling very confident. Couple of things to add - people mentioned a smell and there was indeed a very slight odor but only for about a week and it was gone. It was never anything THAT strong or even bad at all so don't let that deter you. Some people over exaggerate. Compared to our previous mattress which was a (King) pillow top, this thing seems like half the height which was initially a concern. Turns out we love being lower to the ground but it's something to keep in mind. Because of the height of our bed furniture though we couldn't use a box spring previously as it would have been WAY too high, so we had bought bunky boards which are near solid flat foundations. Turns out this is exactly what we needed for the Purple anyway so we also didn't have to purchase anything new for support. Now this is important - I see on Facebook people have complained about the mattress sinking in only to see later they all said they are using box springs which the Purple site specifically states NOT to use. I would recommend doing ALL research before trying out any of these online mattresses to ensure a smooth trial. All this info is on the site.

We couldn't be happier with our Purple mattress! Ordering it online was extremely easy, and it arrived within a week. I wasn't expecting the mattress to come rolled up in a fairly small package (looked like a rug tbh) but it made it very easy to move into the bedroom and all it took to set up was to unroll it, and remove the plastic wrapping, then it inflates itself and it's ready! The mattress is extremely comfy, and the purple sheets are a must have! The mattress and sheets cool you off the second you get into bed. Its very hard for me to get out if bed in the morning due to how comfy it is. I will definitely be buying Purple again in the future!

This is seriously the weirdest best we've ever slept on. It's impossible to explain how it feels to lay on but either way it's darn comfy. The first few nights were not what I expected and I did have trouble sleeping but it ended up being my current memory foam pillow, simply too firm. We will be investing eventually into the purple pillow but for now my husband and I are getting some of the best sleep ever!!

I am 9 months pregnant. Seriously, my due date is in 3 days, and I LOVE this mattress! Many pregnant women find they have to sleep in a mountain of pillows just to get comfortable and then it is very difficult to change positions. With this mattress, I don't need even one extra pillow. I can easily sleep on either side, or even my back, without getting sore hips or shoulders. I can sleep all night in the same position if I want to! It was a bit of a leap convincing myself to spend the money, because money is tight for us, but this purchase was TOTALLY worth it!

We got the regular mattress. It was perfect for my husband, but it made my back hurt because I'm a back sleeper and he's a belly sleeper. He likes firm and I'm used to a pillow top. We returned our mattress, and Purple was easy to work with and gave us a great experience.

Perfect balance of comfort and support. We love it. Totally worth the money. It's not as tall as our previous mattress so if you like to sleep higher you may want to buy a box spring in addition to your bed frame or buy a high bed frame. Great temperature regulation. I would get very hot on memory foam beds but no problems with the Purple mattress!

There has been a drastic change in my husbands and I sleeping habits. It used to be that we would both couldn't stay asleep through the night, but that all changed when we received our Purple mattress. It is a bit expensive but it is completely worth it.

I have a really bad back from a horse accident years ago and this mattress supports where I need the support the most and is overall the best mattress I have ever laid on. I would wake up throughout the night and toss and turn with other mattresses and now I sleep throughout the night without waking up. I will forever be a purple mattress customer and I'm so glad I made this purchase.

My back feels great, but my shoulders are really hurting - the mattress dips where my shoulder goes in but pushes the rest of my arm up so it's pinched. Not sure if that's the full explanation, but we're not sleeping well and we wake up hurting. Lower back problems, however, have improved.
