I've been dealing with serious lower back pain for several years and decided to give purple a try. I'm able to get a good night's sleep again. My pain level in the morning is much lower. For me, I'd call the mattress on the softer side of medium...I'm about 150 lbs. It's a bit like floating instead of sinking...if you've been in pain trying to get out of a sinking bed, you know how awful that is. This doesn't happen to me on the purple. I'd highly recommend giving purple a try...it is different, but for me it is a game changer.

I have back issues and Purple is the only mattress solution I can use anymore. A while ago we purchased an original version in Queen size and have absolutely loved it. I recently purchased a twin for our daughter. It is very comfortable and she loves it, however for some reason it is softer than our queen (both original series firmness) I like a very firm mattress and this was the best compromise for my wife and I. (We tried sleep #...not nearly as nice as purple) I hope Purple isn't changing their original to make it "softer"...they have several other options if you like a soft feel. I prefer the support of the original without all the pillow top fluff. Hope this review helps someone. If you like firmer supportive feel go with original...

Very comfortable and easy to set up. I sleep like the dead all night. If I had one complaint, it's that I have a harder time getting up in the morning because I'm so comfortable in this bed. If you're in the market for a new mattress, you won't go wrong with this one.

I do recommend the mattress. It's fantastic. But unless you have the pillows to go with it the pain will remain. You'll forget about any lower back pain but you'll start to notice just how stiff your neck is after sleeping with a regular pillow. Bottom line. If you're ready for the insane comfort of the mattress be sure to budget for those pillows too otherwise you'll notice headaches and pain from the place that does not have the luxury of touching the purple technology.

i had a tuft & needle mattress that needed to be replaced and purple came highly recommended by multiple people. i have a purple seat cushion and like the feel of the grid so i went ahead and ordered the mattress based on all the glowing reviews. it's kinda wild how comfortable this mattress is! that first flop onto it after getting it set up had me going "oh wow". i'm a hot sleeper who has back issues and i now wake up feeling cooler and without an aching back. very happy with my purchase!

The feel of this mattress is hard to describe. It is the softest, firm mattress I have ever felt. (I know what I said...) I have yet to find an uncomfortable position. I weigh about 145 Lbs. and I don't sink into this mattress like I expected to, but instead, I kind of float on top of it. Again, it is hard to describe...I can say I have been sleeping on this mattress every night for almost a month and I am starting to feel more refreshed in the AM. So, in conclusion: So far So good....

We love our original Purple mattress! We have been searching for over a year, and we are sleeping so much better now. I am a side sleeper (115 lbs) and my husband is a back/side/stomach sleeper (155 lbs). So we have multiple sleeping needs, and the original Purple meets them all!

For context I am 160 lbs and this is for the original Purple Mattress (no coil hybrid). I've suffered from chronic sciatica and hip pain for over a decade and have spent about that long trying to find a mattress that wouldn't aggravate my pains. Purple seems to be that mattress as I've had it for about a month now and no longer feel as if my mattress is working against me when I try to sleep. I would (and have) recommended Purple to my friends and family. Good mattress.

This mattress was not a true queen. It's about 3-4 inches narrower and several inches shorter. I couldn't figure it why I kept bumping into my sleep partner, we've always had a queen. So I measured it, sure enough, it's NOT a queen. They said they'd contact (email) me after I complained, I'm still waiting, but now that's it paid off I'm sure they don't care. I'm going back to sleep number!

After months of researching (and agonizing) over which mattress to buy, I decided on the Purple mattress over the competition. I was really intrigued by the honeycomb top layer and had read in some reviews that it helped with pressure points such as shoulders and hips (I have broad shoulders) without sacrificing support which is exactly what I need. I am also a hot sleeper and thought the honeycomb would allow better air disbursement and thus keep me cooler throughout the night which it has done. And I went with the regular Purple, not the hybrid, because I am 110 lbs and felt the hybrid would be too firm for me. The redesigned edges hold up just fine. So far, I am really liking my Purple mattress and am very happy with my choice.
