I need a stiffer mattress for my back and neck pain. We bought the purple mattress with High Hopes and we are six weeks into our journey. I wake with pretty significant lower back pain every morning now where is before my back pain was in the upper region. Although I prefer my side, I'm forced to sleep on my back because of my back and neck issues. I have woken a few times with my legs completely numb. I think it may be coming from my lower back and a nerve being compressed which is not an issue I was experiencing before purple. I'm not sure if I need to give it more time or if I need to ship it back.

Sleeping on this mattress feels like laying on a cloud that is strong enough to support a full day's worth of terrible diet and life decisions. I wake up without being reminded that the burden of age and wisdom are pulling down from my back and shoulders, but rather refreshed and ready to take on more adult life problems. Every, single, day.

Before Purple, I had a funky mattress on which I had 5 layers of memory foam; it sank a bit in the middle though, and not good for the back. A couple nights on Purple, it felt too firm [hard], so I put a memory foam on top which seemed to be more comfortable. So when I say 'still hopeful' I'm stating that I'm still waiting to like it cuz it was said it would take a few wks to get used to, being an optimistic person.

We bought a purple mattress because I wanted to explore other mattress options due to low back pain that seemed related to our prior memory foam mattress. It seems to have helped with that. However, my husband is not very happy with the way the edge compresses when he sits down on the bed. We are also not thrilled with the appearance with the bed made. The mattress does not fit neatly on our platform bed compared to the prior mattress which had a very square profile when viewed from the side. The prior mattress fit our 81.5" long platform quite tightly. The Purple queen mattress measures according to the specifications (80" at its longest), but because it sort of billows out in the middle (think what happens if you press down on a marshmallow) which creates it's "longest" length, it is effectively smaller than 80" at the top surface. Due to this it fits "small" and there is a 2-3" gap between the headboard (which also slants back) and the mattress which causes pillows to slip down between them. We would rather have the gap at the top (which we can hide with pillows) than at the bottom. So, if I could have a Purple mattress that measured 82", I think I would be happier with way it fits our bed and the appearance. Functionally, it is accomplishing the desired goal so we will keep it, but I do wish it fit the bed better and looked tidier with a comforter tucked in around it.

The Purple Mattress is amazing! Our sleep has drastically improved. We fall asleep faster, stay asleep and wake up without back pain. We also ordered the Purple Pillows and noticed a decrease in neck pain and my husband'a migraines. We wake up feeling well rested and ready to start the day. I would definitely recommend purchasing the Purple sheets.

I was using a terrible mattress before purple. My mattress sank in the middle where my hips would rest and i always woke up sweating and with shoulder pain. Now, I have no more shoulder or hip pain after sleeping, I never sweat while sleeping and I sleep better. The only down side is that the "grid"-like texture of the silicone takes some getting used to. Its a strange texture to lay on at first but very comfortable. After you adjust, there's no going back. I hope that this mattress will be durable bc I plan to sleep on it for the next 10 years :) maybe I'll leave another review after 9 years.

Slept on an inner spring mattress all of my life. Downsized to a twin and thought," I am going to treat myself if I am going to downsize". Purple was my first choice. I am not disappointed. Supportive, and comfortable! My only advise is to spring for the sheets. Thanks for your hard work purple team!

I had a box spring mattress for 15 years. The same stinky mattress. 15. Years. It was terrible and squeaked all the time, so I tossed it out and replaced it with the king size Purple 4 mattress as well as the bamboo sheets and pillow. We also have a platform that we purchased along with the bed where the head of the bed rises so my wife and I can get an amazing sleep. It worked and I am so satisfied! We went to a hotel over the weekend and their beds were terrible compared to ours! My wife was ranting about how good theirs' were, and I was like "psh get real these beds suck." I couldnt sleep all night on the box spring, but when I came home I passed out like a baby. Love this bed so much!!

I absolutely love the mattress and how it feels! My back pain is improved 100%. But, the size is shorter in length as well as height. I have had to put the mattress on very firm foam to raise it, but I still have about a foot and a half of space where my pillow constantly goes between headboard and mattress. Overall, still the best mattress I have owned.

I was super shocked this bed worked! I'm really glad I got it, it arrived this morning and I decided to take a little nap on my day off and I woke up to use the restroom and realized I don't have that achy knot in my back as intense! Just from that nap it helped so much I can't wait for the nights rest, due to me having back pain from my tumor on my spine I'm really stoked it was all true about this bed and I can't wait till my dog gets his in next week!!
