It takes some getting used to. It supports the body and forces good posture. But if you're used to a soft bed or a sagging bed prepare to need new pillows. My wife hated it at first. She likes soft beds, but as her back began to align properly and soreness started to fade, she finally accepted the bed. Our bed was awful with a horrid sag. She liked the pillow top and liked sinking into the bed a little. I hated it, woke up in pain all the time. This bed has helped me out a bunch. I sleep better than ever, I don't wake up hurting anymore (unless, you count my awful old pillow that was replaced), I also wake up earlier and refreshed. My wife finally sleeps throughout the night and doesn't hurt. I'll be honest, it takes some getting used to. Its like laying on a pretty firm bed, but it contours your body slightly making your back feel aligned. I do wish my body did sink a little into the mattress allowing me to fall asleep faster, but when I do sleep, its good. Is it the most comfortable mattress? Not in my opinion, but I can definitely say, I'm not a fan of my ergonomic office chair either. Proper support isn't always cushy, sometimes its a lifestyle change. Is it uncomfortable? Far from it. Ever laid on the floor and thought why does this feel good on my back? Maybe because your back needs alignment or correction? I don't feel that need nowhere near as much anymore. I could probably stop feeling that way all together if I could stop slouching in my chair. Am I going to keep my mattress? You bet your sweet tush I am. Cushy is nice for falling asleep, but I'm tired of waking up hurting, listening to springs when I roll over at night, and shaking my wife awake as I try to escape for a glass of water. This bed is great at not passing along motion, being silent, and just being comfortable after working hard labor or wanting some support on my back.

I've been sleeping on my original purple mattress for about 3 weeks now. Every time I sit or lie down on it angels blow their trumpets somewhere as I rejoice in the incomparable comfort. Both my wife and I are obsessed with it. We sleep different, but it's great for side and back sleepers. Also, the lower back pain I've felt with for awhile is slowly leaving me. Don't get me wrong, our previous mattress was a piece of garbage, but the purple is simply extraordinary.

We bought the king size purple mattress it was delivered on time and the packaging was good. The mattress is extremely heavy I definitely recommend having someone help you take the mattress to your bedroom. My wife and I used the mattress for roughly 3 weeks and then returned it, and didn't care for it to much. If you like a firm mattress this is a mattress for you. However my wife and I like the pillowtop mattress and the purple mattress was just a little hard to get accustomed too

I used to sleep on a spring mattress with box springs and had gotten used to a slightly achy back (I'm 25). I decided I needed a change and simply shouldn't be dealing with back issues at my age but I couldn't afford one of the premium $2,000+ mattresses. Then I found purple. This mattress has the same effects as a premium, more expensive mattress, for half the cost. I couldn't believe the change it has had on my back and on my life. The first few days required a little adjustment but now my back feels normal. I can't stress how incredible "normal" is but I wake up feeling well rested, no aches, less tossing and turning (according to sleep monitor), and I don't disturb my partner when I get in/out of the bed like on my previous spring mattress. This mattress is simply a life changer. Thank you purple!

Only got half a split King bed. It's been several weeks and several customer service helpers and still no second mattress... My card has still been charged... Paid for a mattress but still not received. I love the sleep on a purple bed, but the worry is starting to eat into my sleep.

I am a back sleeper and my husband is side sleeper. Previously we had Tempur-pedic queen size bed (8-9 firmness) I loved it but my husband doesn't. Said it cause him backache. So we thought we give Purple a try. We purchased Purple Cal King and first month went through with no problem. Then as time goes by, by 3rd month my lower back and upper shoulder blade starts to hurt every morning when I woke up. I am a very easy sleeper and once I am situated in the bed I would stay in the same position up until next morning, not to mention fall asleep fairly quickly anywhere as long as it is comfortable. Lately I felt the gel grid (hyper-elastic polymer) on Purple is too soft and is not giving my any back support, I am 110lbs 5'1 and even I sink into the mattress when I lay on top of it, The pain is awful that I have to roll up towel to put under my waist, what we purchased supposedly is the firmest of all version. As for my husband, who is 6'3 190lbs as a side sleeper paired the mattress with Purple pillow, he said although that his back muscle sores in the morning but he preferred Purple than previous mattress we got because Tempur-pedic is simply too firm for side sleepers. It is always been difficult to find a mattress that would work on both of us, since we got quite different sleeping requirements. So anybody that has the similar situation like me and my husband please let me know the recommend mattress, we might try it soon!

We bought the (old version) queen mattress, sheets, and a mattress cover. The shipments arrived quickly and all instructions were easy to follow. It was heavier than I expected. The bed has surpassed expectations in terms of comfort and keeping us cool in a converted attic to bedroom during the summer months.

We had been watching the purple videos pop up on facebook and then saw the great reviews the purple mattress got on sleepopolis...and decided to give it a try. I've never, ever wanted to tell other people about my mattress before, and I feel like I can't STOP telling people about our purple. Quite simply, we had no idea how well we could sleep, how comfortable and well-rested we would feel, until this mattress arrived. I love our purple mattress!

My husband got the bed and he likes it but it's too firm for me; I have the same back pain I had with my old mattress and now I wake up with headaches. My husband has a back injury (not from the bed) and it doesnt seem like the mattress is helping him as far as getting comfortable or easing the pain at night. I think he's too stubborn to admit it doesn't work for him either.

My wife and I slept on a memory foam mattress for years and loved it with one exception. It trapped heat. I bought the Purple Mattress and have not regretted it. After a month of sleeping on it I have not overheated once. I would buy it again and have recommended it to everyone that asked about it.
