I originally reviewed my Purple mattress after a few days of sleeping on it and was not horribly impressed. I still had back pain and missed the feel of my old mattress. My wife was also still using a 1" memory foam mattress on top of the Purple mattress because the Purple mattress was not soft enough for her. To me, that seemed like it was defeating the purpose of having a new mattress. Why would I buy a new mattress so that my wife could essentially bypass the selling feature of the new mattress by using the same memory foam pad on the new mattress as she used on the old? As an experiment, after about 30 days of sleeping on the Purple mattress, I switched back to my old mattress (a very expensive one with air bladders that allows you to set a number independently on both sides of the bed related to how firm you want the mattress). At the onset of this experiment,, the "old" mattress just did not feel right. Apparently, I was indeed becoming used to the Purple mattress and found myself missing it as I laid down the first night on my old mattress. While I mentioned I initially felt as if the Purple mattress was too stiff compared to my previous mattress, I now found myself complaining that my old mattress was too firm. It did not seem to cradle my body the same way. As I mentioned, I was less than impressed with the Purple mattress initially. Based on the reviews and videos, I expected something magical. Magical it was not. When I returned back to my old mattress, it was with the intent of staying with it and returning the Purple mattress. After all, if the Purple mattress really was no better than my previous mattress, why keep it and pay for a mattress that I am not using or offers no clear benefit over my previous mattress. There is a full 100 days to try it out, but I figured, why wait that long? I have also seen feedback from Purple to some of the negative reviews encouraging people to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 days. When I read those, I tried to figure out what the big deal would be? What would change after 30 days that did not change after 20 or 10, or wouldn't change after 40 or 50? The first impression was important, and I was less than impressed. Anyway, getting back to my "which mattress is actually better" experiment... I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that the experiment lasted a total of one whole evening. After switching back to my old mattress, I woke up several times in the evening with back pain and, as I am writing this review in the late afternoon, my back still hurts. The icing on the cake was when my wife told me she now hated our old mattress (the mattress she used to absolutely love) and to put the Purple mattress back. She was originally wishy-washy on which mattress to keep. She did not hate the Purple mattress, but also did not think it was anything special... until she went back to sleeping on the old mattress, which gave her some significant back and hip pain. With that being said, I am indeed keeping my Purple mattress without any regrets and wish this mattress would have been available back when I spent about five to six times as much for the mattress I currently own. One positive thing that I must mention as well is that neither my wife nor myself have awoken in the middle of the night in a pool of sweat like we used to on our old mattress. The Purple mattress does indeed help keep us cool when sleeping, which was something I did notice right away. For what it's worth, I kind of wish Purple would sell the purple polymer matrix alone so it could be added over the top of an existing bed. I am not sure if that would work, and I doubt that Purple would want to do that as the bed is engineered to work with the foam layers it has, but I would have been willing to try it. I also have a split king adjustable frame, yet Purple does not offer such an option, so when I raise up my part of the bed, it elevates part of my wife's side unevenly, which means we must raise both sides of our bed together (which never happens) or I must be a little less aggressive in how I adjust my side of the bed. Compared to our previous mattress, the Purple mattress is also a lot thinner, which reduced the height of our bed. This has taken some getting used to for my wife. (As for me, I did not notice or care as much.) Considering how heavy this mattress is, I do not know I would actually want it to be much thicker as I would need a lot more friends to help me move it. Maybe that would be another suggestion too... Put some handles or something on it. Not that we move the mattress often, but when you do, it is large, heavy, bulky, and cumbersome. (Not sure how to add handles to a foam mattress, but then again, I'm not the bedding engineer like the gurus at Purple.) For those reasons, and the initial hesitancy I had when first trying out the bed, I had to give four (not five) stars. For what it's worth, my 10 year old daughter loved the mattress from day one and wanted it for herself when I too

I've struggled to find a mattress that does not bother my back. I start on my side but usually sleep on my back. For years I woke up each morning with a lower back ache. I tried several different mattresses which are now exiled to guest rooms - sorry guests. The PURPLE mattress solved any and all back aches. I now awake with no pain and a good night's sleep. Even though I had several friends and family tell me the PURPLE bed is the "bomb", I was doubting. No more. I recommend the bed to anyone. My wife is a side sleeper. In the past she usually awoke several times a night but now she sleeps soundly. Thanks again!

its a nice quality mattress. Not bouncy, not too soft or hard. It does help cradle your pressure points well. I do fall asleep faster on this mattress than any other mattress I have slept on. Very comfortable, especially with how quickly the bed responds to your body movement. Only day 10 or so with the mattress.

This bed is absolutely amazing. I've never slept of anything softer than this bed. The free pillow is even better. It cradles the neck and makes you literally feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. "Literally" I cannot stress how soft this mattress is. This the most genius thing to happen to my body since i've discovered Hentai. Ok over and out.

I have been sleeping on the original Purple Mattress for about a month. It is OK, but nothing to rave about. The innovative top layer does feel nice when you first lay on it, but you quickly sink right through it to a traditional surface which does heat to your body temperature fairly quickly. I guess that is what it means by temperature neutral. After about fifteen minutes, it is as warm or as hot as you are. After a brief time, my pressure areas are not even aware of the purple topping on the mattress, they are at the bottom of the scrunched up material. I am keeping it because of the trouble it would take to return it and shop again. I would not purchase again though. The sleep experience on the Purple mattress does not measure up to the wonderful videos and hype.

First off just like the title states this is the best bed i have ever bought. We have always bought Serta the past 3 times and noticed our last mattress did not offer the support and started to wear quicker. Since day one you will notice certain aches and pains will start to fade away. Then you will notice you will wake up in the position you fell asleep in and feel rested. On a personal note I'm a big guy and have lower back pain with a fair share of sciatica. since we have moved to Purple i have had no flare up and noticed the added support when i sleep on my stomach which would usually cause pain and numbness in my legs.

I had been sleeping on an air mattress for over a year. Before that I had a traditional spring mattress that was so uncomfortable that I would often wake up and find one or both arms were still asleep! The Purple mattress has an outstanding balance between support and softness, and I wish I would have purchased one years ago. I wake up well rested, and I feel the energy I get carries on throughout my day.

I have gone through 3 other "big name mattresses in the last year and a half..wasted a ton of money..horrible back pain and stiffness every morning..due to a number of issues but the mattresses were not helping....then a friend suggested the purple so I did my due dilligence and read up on your product. with a no hassle return policy I thought...best offer yet....so I gave it a try!!! Heavy thing when delivered..thankfully my neighbor was out walking his dog and helped me get it in the house!!! set it up and sat on the edge and thought uh oh.. I am sinking..is this going to be too soft? But then laid on it and instantly I heard angels sing!!! Perfect!!! I set my base to a zero gravity and didn't need to move the rest of the night!!! Well, I did just to see how side lying felt, but I was just comphy were I was....The best I can compare the feeling to would be boyant...like laying on jello..supportive yet gentle!! that waffle matrix pattern must be the ticket!!!! I love love love this mattress!

This thing is insanely comfortable. I love it. I'm about 150lbs and my wife is around 130lbs. We are both side-sleepers. We got the regular purple mattress, and it's been perfect. It's a little firm for your lighter parts, and like a pillow-top for your heavier parts. I can't recommend it enough.

I have limited mobility and I've learned that a comfortable matress is a necessity. I did a lot of research before deciding to buy the Purple Mattress and it was the best decision I have ever made. This mattress is not only the most comfortable matress I have ever slept on, it keeps me cool and comfortable no matter what sleep position I'm in, I don't wake up like I used to in the middle of the night, and I don't feel like I need to constantly change sleep positions. I would recommend this mattress to anyone. It's very high quality and we'll worth the money.
