Maybe my expectations were too high, but I expected this mattress to be so much more than the 20 year old mattress it was replacing, and I guess I'm just a bit underwhelmed. First, I had to get rid of my old king mattress and box spring myself. I think if you buy a mattress at Sleepy's or whatever they take the old mattress with them. Second, this mattress is HEAVY. Like almost unmanageable heavy. I get that it's space age polymer type stuff. But it was a wrestle to get it upstairs and a wrestle to get it laid out on the frame and for as heavy as it is, it seems to move pretty easily when I get out of bed. Plus I had to get a whole new frame (because this doesn't need or want a box spring), and a new bed skirt. Lots of new stuff here, and the difference between what I had and what I have now is not earth shattering. I expected it to be. I can see that if you are coming from a futon or something else with a platform where you don't have to replace the frame it would be easier/better. But to be honest I don't see that much of a difference from the pillow top Simmons mattress we had before this. Not sure what the answer is in terms of shopping for a new mattress. This is one answer, but I had to have 2 people help me get it upstairs. And I had to get a new frame. And I had to get rid of my old mattress myself. All things being equal, I probably could have done just as well with a new mattress from Mattress Firm and they would have taken my old mattress and I could have used my old box spring.

We did not like how lumpy/ridged the top of the mattress felt. Also, the feeling of laying on the hyperelastic foam was a bit unusual and not soothing. I wish there was a padded top to the mattress with a smooth surface, so you had the benefit of the purple hyperelastic foam without having to feel it when you laid down.

Highly Recommend. I purchased two twin XL {i.e. a split king) purple 4. I purchased purple mattress protectors, purple sheets, purple pillows. I use in a Split king configuration on adjustable platforms. I used to own Tempurpedic, before that a Sterns and Fosters. I am 6 foot 2 inches and weigh over 215 lbs. What great about the Purple bed far outweighs what is challenging about it. If I was not trying to have a split king layout I would give it five stars. Whats Great: COMFORTABLE. RELAXING. Really the best I have ever slept on. Just awesome. That(awesome) is a scientific quantified value ;*D COOL. So much better than my old Tempurpedic which was hot..not in a good way. The Purple 4 are cool, but not cold. Breathable and comfortable. Movement Dampening. (This is great if the other person in the middle of the night makes sudden movements). Pillows are really comfortably [and heavy] {My future wife said I can now get rid of my thirteen other pillows I have since the purple ones work so well) Sheets are cool , breathable and do stretch! Customer service was great too! My future wife is going too use the purple mattress bags to put things in when she moves here. Whats is Challenging: The purple 4 hyper-elastic polymer is pulled in by the purple sheets/mattress protectors leaving a five inch gap between the beds in a split king configuration. The lower parts of the bed touch, but the hyper-elastic part pull away from each other when purple fitted twin XL sheets and mattress protectors are used. Who knows Purple might invent a cool solution in the future for us who want a split king layout and 4 inches of the hyper elastic. But for now it creates a grand canyon between the beds. Perhaps adding more of the hyper elastic on the sides facing the other bed would solve it i.e. the sheets and protector would squeeze the extra and avoid both a gap or overlap between the beds. I would love a solution. Getting married in a year and rather not have the grand canyon between us. :) One also slides off the edge of the bed, for the same reason. i.e. sitting on edge of bed..when there is more a curve than an edge and that leads to sliding off. OVERALL GREAT PRODUCT. Impressive.

I have enjoyed the comfort of my purple mattress, and was desperate for something that would help my back, but we've only had it six months and there is already sunk in spots where my husband and I each sleep. We're not enormous people, and frankly I'm surprised and disappointed by how much the shape has already changed.

So we tried the purple hype and was extremely disappointed. Wife hated the purple mattress as did I. We both woke up with terrible back and shoulder pain and would get up more tired then when we went to bed. Tossed and turned all night long. Returned the purple mattress. Going to keep looking and trying other mattresses.

I am in my 60's and just found out i have osteoarthritis in my lower spine. Every morning i would wake up with soreness in my shoulders and hip pressure points with my old mattress and i would have a terrible time standing straight up because of my back. I'm a side sleeper so i spent about a month researching alot of mattresses online and reading hundreds of reviews. One purple review stuck in my mind about a man who had tried trials with many top of the line mattresses and he was a side sleeper also and purple was the one he kept and raved about. So we bought one just the regular one and i cannot find the correct words to describe this mattress. This mattress moves with every move you make no matter how big or small the move. It gives with all your pressure points so my shoulders and hips feel wonderful and my back feels good enough in the morning that i can stand straight up without needing an oil can. The feel of this mattress is hard to put into words. It moves with you but is not sinky soft but yet it has some firmness but is not rock hard. You just have to try it for yourself. My husband and i both love it and by the way even though their sheets are a little pricy they are like sleeping in heaven. They are soft and cool and dont move.

I am a rural mail carrier. At the suggestion of my chiropractor (she had heard good things about it), I purchased the Queen Purple mattress and I am waking up with less back and neck aches (most often NONE) I also decided to purchase the seat cushion. The seat cushion arrived first and so I had the opportunity to try it out first! It sucked!..... when I forgot to bring it along!!! I LOVE IT...this cushion AND now mattress has made my life so much more enjoyable and do-able. Often when my 4 or 5 year old sneak into my bed at night, I don't even know it... bad part; they are getting away with it...good part; mommy is not getting disturbed and is getting better sleep at night. I don't feel them move around or even crawl onto the bed. Best purchases I think I've ever made!!!

My husband and I could not handle the mattress we had for the last five years that I had for a few years before! We were waking up with continuous lower and upper back pain and that is not helpful during our work day as teachers. Buying our Purple mattress was the best use of our money! I have never fallen asleep as fast as I do on our purple mattress. My husband was surprised that he couldn't feel me get out of bed the other night and now we wake up with little to no back pain. We are happy with our purchase and hope our mattress can last us for a good amount of years.

First off, the mattress is truly comfortable, suitable, and actual did relieve lower back pain. Also, I had no trouble trying to sleep for the first time in awhile where I could lay in bed and fall asleep within moments. The assistance that purple provided me was beyond my expectations, their staff really will go above and beyond for you to give you that peace of mind.

First time buying a mattress and this one did not disappoint. Did much research with Purple & its competitors and this one just came out on top. Super comfy and unique technology with the grid system. Highly recommended to the point I had somebody made the decision to buy one as well!
