We purchased the king size Purple and the Purple base, but not before a bit of hesitation, which in hindsight, is almost laughable. As everyone knows, mattresses are an investment. You want the item that you spend roughly a third of your life on to be good for your body, but also good for your pocketbook. As a general rule, you get what you pay for. The exception to that rule is Purple. We decided that even though it was on the more affordable end of the king size bed spectrum, we'd give it a try. I mean, there's a 100 night trial. What's the worst that could happen? We hate it and send it back and get a refund? Sounded like a win to me. We purchased the mattress through Affirm financing which I think is the quickest and easiest way I've ever been financed for anything in my life, and it arrived in about 3 days. After assembling the Purple base, which took maybe 15-20 minutes (this thing holds 1000 lbs??? Really?!), we unwrapped and unrolled the mattress onto it. Sheets went on along with the pillows and the comforter and after that, it was like a race to get to bed to test it out. The first night was...interesting. My body had been so used to sleeping on mid-density memory foam which I simply sunk into, that the Purple felt too hard at first. I woke up the first morning with a sore back. "No," I thought. "This can't be right. This thing was advertised so well! Spoken of so highly!" I reached out to a few friends that I knew had purchased a Purple recently as well for a bit of reassurance that my sweet dreams weren't destined to be a nightmare on my spine. Their advice? It's worth it. Wait it out. Give it a few weeks. I resigned to not feeling totally crestfallen and decided to give it, at minimum, a 60 day trial. It's been three weeks, and I'll admit, my body is still getting used to it. I still wake up in the morning and have to stretch a bit to shake off a touch of soreness, but I've noticed something... I haven't woken up in the middle of the night in three weeks. I haven't struggled to fall asleep or find a comfortable position. I haven't been groggy in the morning. I haven't kicked the covers off in the middle of the night even though the weather has gotten warmer. This mattress is doing exactly what it advertised. It's aligning my spine. It's cradling my pressure points and supporting my lower back, the way my spine is SUPPOSED to curve. It's even making my posture better! So the soreness isn't from the mattress itself! It's from YEARS of sleeping on the wrong mattress and finally getting the RIGHT one. My body just isn't used to it yet! So as the title says. It's worth it. It's worth the money. It's worth the minimal wait. It's worth the slight discomfort for a couple weeks, because in the end, I know it's better for my body in the long run.
