I really wanted to love this bed, but I don't. I'm a side sleeper and I was really hoping this bed would allow me to sleep on my side without my arm and hand falling asleep - well, it didn't work. I will be returning the bed, I hope the return process is hassle-free.

It's a pretty comfortable mattress. Personally, I prefer the temperpedic that I had before, because it seemed more supportive and I don't like that the Purple mattress transfers motion. However, the cooling nature of the Purple is amazing and that's one of my husbands biggest complaints at night. I think I am just very picky and the best is definitely comfortable. If you have skin that reddens easily with touch, you will likely wake up with your entire back covered in a waffle pattern (my husband does every morning) but it's kind of hilarious and obviously not harmful. I personally wouldn't buy this mattress again but I think it's fine depending on they type of sleeper you are.

Had the mattress for a little over a month and are extremely satisfied with comfort and sleepability. All the positive qualities advertised for the Purple are spot on. My only reservation at this point is I'm having the perception that the mattress is "wearing in" where I sleep. I am an edge sleeper and it seems to me that the support might be diminishing. I'm not convinced of it yet and it doesn't change my 5 star rating at this point, but I'll be paying close attention in the weeks and months to come.

I absolutely love this mattress! I am not the guy that writes reviews in the first place, but this is worth talking about. My back has never felt better. I get so excited about climbing into the bed every night. Unlike pillow top or memory foam, you don't sleep "in" the mattress, you sleep "on" the mattress. That may sound like it is a firm mattress but the way it relieves pressure on you shoulders, back, and hips is amazing. I cannot fathom ever having another mattress. If you are considering buying one, do your life a favor and go for it. We have the original purple.

I was a little worried about purchasing this mattress because of the price, but I really wanted to upgrade my mattress and go with a king size. I went back and forth between this one and a much less expensive brand, but in the end I went with the purple and I'm so glad that I did! It came quickly and it provides a really great nights sleep. I'm even hoping that my husband will surprise me with the purple pillow for Christmas. :)

I bought my purple almost a year ago now and my wife and I love it I have a bad back annular tears in the L spine and have gone through many beds this don't cure the pain but it sure makes it a lot less than normal right on par with my old tempurpedic great bed thank you purple

I was a Sleep Number 35 and my husband was a 65. Lately he had been suffering from terrible shoulder pain and was contemplating surgery. After a week of sleeping on our Purple he is entirely pain free. I have a lower back injury and have had issues with hip pressure points and back pain and sciatica. The purple has improved my comfort so much I can actually sleep on my back if I want to. It is firm, but not hard. We both sleep blissfully. Best purchase ever!!

I've only rarely seen this mentioned, so here's my issue: As a side sleeper parts of the matrix under me are very compressed, and so a bit lumpy underneath. We are using a medium weight mattress pad in addition to the very thin stretchy on we purchased with the mattress. To anyone in the process of deciding how they feel about the mattress, I suggest that (or maybe adding a blanket underneath). I think it was good without the extra mattress pad, but it's better with, because the overall support characteristics of the mattress are nearly the same, but the slight lumps are smoothed out. If you hate the gummy, doughy quality of memory foam, you might well like this. It's more like a latex mattress. I was thinking I wanted a latex matress, and If high quality latex mattresses weren't multiple times more expensive, I might have gone for one of those, but it's really hard to tell from just a few minutes testing in a store. Our old name brand, innerspring pillow top mattress had become so un-supportive after just a few years, I ended up sleeping in a recliner while waiting for the new purple. My wife says she's only moderately happier and that the old one wasn't that bad, but her back ache complaints went WAY down after a few weeks in the purple. The only other negative I can think of is that since I'm sleeping quite comfortably, I toss and turn much less than on most other mattresses, so paradoxically I'm sometimes a little stiff after a long sleep, only because my body has been in the exact same position for a longer time. I'd always wanted a CalKing, and am so happy Purple started selling this size shortly before we bought. Our 11 year old has our old queen, and I guess 11 year olds can sleep on anything, but if he ever complains, we'll get him a purple, too.

I have some pretty nasty back issues (ruptured L5, back surgery in 2012, etc) and this mattress saved my life. I wake up every morning feeling more rested and supported than I ever thought possible. Many of my back issues have really calmed down...only after less than 30 days of sleeping on this mattress.

Bought mattress for my 26 year old son with muscular dystrophy. He uses it with a hospital bed. He was having bad back aches after being in the hospital for 4 months. His backaches have gone away and he sleeps all night with his new purple mattress. I would recommend to anyone with back problems. My husband and I are thinking about getting one for ourselves.
