This mattress is my favorite thing that I own. It honestly c
This mattress is literally one of the best things to ever happen to me in my life. It's right up there with meeting my husband and getting into the college I really wanted to go to. I'm 33 years old, 5'8", and 125 pounds, and I'm primarily a back sleeper, though I do like to curl up on my side for the last hour of sleep in the mornings. My husband is 35 years old, 5'10", and 140 pounds, and he's exclusively a side sleeper. We both have computer-based jobs, although my neck and back pain has always been worse, and it's been a problem since I was 15 years old no matter what kind of mattress I tried... until the Purple. We tried coil. We tried latex. We tried a memory foam gel topper. We tried the Casper. We worried and worried about the fact that very few beds are recommended for both back and side sleepers. I woke up with pain no matter what I slept on. Lower back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain. I was starting to despair, but I also had a good feeling about the Purple mattress because the design made so much sense to me. It's basically a smarter, better, more technologically advanced version of the latex concept, and I was just hoping and hoping they would come out with a California King size... and then they did. And it changed my life. The second I laid on this bed, I knew it was The One. The first morning we woke up on it, the first words out of the mouth of my husband, who had maintained some healthy skepticism the night before, were, "This bed is SO comfortable." We've had the Purple for about six weeks now, and pretty much every morning, he says the same thing -- and I couldn't agree more. This bed is a godsend. It is the best thing I own. My neck and back pain has improved dramatically, and my husband, who used to wake up constantly during the night, has actually managed to sleep through the whole night on it. I've seen some reviews that say this mattress is not as good for side sleepers as back sleepers. I find it incomprehensible that anyone would say this. The design is actually even more impressive when you sleep on your side, because it truly does reduce pressure points better than any other mattress I've ever slept on, which is exactly what you need for bony hips and butts like ours. The Purple truly is the "no pressure" mattress. I can't think them enough for inventing it. And for the price, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. Thanks, Purple! We love you!

Purple King
So we're about two weeks into this Purple mattress, and I love it. We upgraded from a queen sized standard mattress. The additional space and perfect support has really improved the quality of our sleep. The surface seems to breathe and stay cool. There's no swampiness, or hot pockets. I'm quite pleased. They threw in a pillow - it's comfy.... But kinda weird. Kinda like a placenta. Which IS comfortable to lay on, but difficult and weird to pick up and move. It's become a frustration while making the bed. I know it's a solid object, but it feels like a water balloon that's gonna rip open or something. I'll get used to it. They also threw in two little product samples. Little Purple waffles. The kids loved em. They took them to school to show their friends. Very clever Purple. That's good marketing right there. Totally worth it. You should get one.

Setup 3.5, Quality and Experience: 4.5
I purchased the: king sized bed; platform; sheets; and pillow. Shipments arrived staggered, which is not great but not terrible either. The sheets are of excellent quality; the material is heavy in the hands but light to the feel, and cooling to the touch. The pillow is made entirely of the polymer, which means it's quite comfortable but also very heavy, It is not suitable for people who like to move around with their pillow. The pillow comes with an inflatable riser - a nice touch -, but I found no need for it as the pillow is of suitable height for me. The king-sized platform was easy to setup and appears very sturdy. That said I would avoid purchase of the queen-size platform which features a hardware configuration that looks questionable at best. The tools that ship with the platform, and more specifically the hex key, is made of a softer metal than the bolts and will compress under use, causing it to strip. That said it survived long enough to get the job done to a satisfactory degree. Unfortunately, the platform does not feature any mechanism - such as corner guards - to keep the mattress in place, so it's prone to moving along the surface of the platform pretty easily. The bed arrived as rolled, and was easy to remove from its canvas bag using the included letter opener. Unfortunately, the ease of unrolling the mattress ended there. There are multiple layers of plastic over the roll and the bed itself is rolled right side out. This means that on unrolling it you're presented with the bottom of the mattress and must then - essentially - manhandle a 145lb ultra dense, floppy biscuit in an attempt to flip it over. I'm surprised this wasn't something picked up during testing because it turned what was otherwise a breezy setup into a nightmare (especially with a back disability). Outgassing of the mattress presented and odd smell, comparable to plasticized play-dough, but was not unexpected and is not toxic, and was gone within a day. Otherwise, the rolled format of delivery made the mattress easy to maneuver into the house and get into a staging position. The overall setup experience I would rate a 3.5 - I would recommend the team at purple look into rolling the mattress bottom side out, so that when it unrolls it's right side up. Furthermore, the queen sized platform looks to be of questionable build quality judging by the instructions (a single, elongated bolt with butterfly nut holds the two pieces together, as opposed to the reinforced grating and multiple bolts that are used on the king model). Sleep wise, the bed represents a unique and difficult to describe experience. It's soft in the sense that you sink into it a little bit, but it's firm enough that you never feel as though you're not supported. It's easy to feel the polymer material, which presents a unique texture that is oddly pleasant. Quality of sleep is good and the bed, while not totally movement isolated, dampens the movement of others on the bed sufficiently so as not to be a nuisance. Temperature wise, the bed stays pleasantly cool. Overall the experience of the bed I would rate at 4.5 - the quality of the material and the unique properties it presents give it superlative qualities when considering the price.

Totally Worth It
Just laying on my new mattress I can feel my back stretching out. I've gone from habitually sleeping 5 hours and night and tossing and turning to sleeping deeply. The only problem is that it is so comfortable I don't want to get out of bed in the morning.

Oh, how I wish...
I love the Purple. My kids love the Purple. Everyone who comes to my house and flops down on my bed loves the Purple. Unfortunately, the one person who needs to love it with me - my wife - doesn't. She is a tummy sleeper and it doesn't work for her. We've tried it for a couple of months and she simply can't sleep soundly on it. Sleep traking apps confirm that she struggles to get restorative sleep. So it's back to the rock hard Sealy Posturepedic for us. I'm still giving it 5 stars, because it's an awesome, supportive, comfortable mattress. My wife will have to submit her own review.

Purple Magic
It's been a month since we began sleeping on our Purple. It's everything you talk about in your promotions. Around this house we refer to your mattress as "Purple Magic." No more morning stiffness and back aches. Fantastic! Probably spending more time in the reclined position then I should :) PS: I experimented with the two samples of the materials you make the mattress with and enclose with the directions using them as shoe inserts. Work great. Have you considered making orthotics? Or maybe a line of foot sole inserts?

We'd do it again.
We had put off buying a new mattress for a long time. Ours was a 20 year old Serta that had seen better days. Finally bit the bullet but was all over the place after reading reviews on every mattress out there. Husband is a small guy, 5'7" @ 165# and a solid back sleeper. I'm 5'10" and about 160# and a die hard side sleeper with a CPap machine. We both love this mattress. Honestly the first couple of weeks are a bit of an adjustment, because your body has to get used to being aligned properly, so you may be stiff and sore, but hang in there, it is so worth it. Based on our weights, the mattress sleeps firm, but adjusts quickly to night turns. Delivery during the crush of the pandemic was slow, but understandable. It was well worth the wait. Set up was very easy. Much easier than disassembling and moving the old bed to another room. opened up the mattress at 3 in the afternoon and sleeping on it by 11 PM. So very happy with the purchase and thinking about buying a couple of pillows next.

No hip pain!
I am very happy with my purple mattress. I am a heavy girl with a lighter husband and while he likes firm beds, I need a little give because of some hip pain I experience on hard beds. The purple matress has helped me sleep without pain for the past 6 months. It's also firm enough to satisfy my husband too. I love it and am so glad we invested in this bed. With it!

Second purchase
I typically like a very firm mattress when I sleep on my back, and I swore by our sleep number bed for years. However, the setting I liked for my back lead to shoulder pain when I slept on my side. The purple mattress was a great change. It provides enough support for my back, and I stopped having shoulder issues from sleeping on my side. We now own two.

Oh man
This is the fourth but I've had her in about 10 years. None of the innerspring beds that I have purchased in the past or any of the fancy latex beds I have purchased ever held up more than a year or two. They often wound up sagging or my pelvis was and I would start waking with terrible joint pain in my hips. I gave the purple bed a try after Reading some of the online recommendations. I thought why not with their guarantee try it. The worst case scenario is that it did not work well for me and then I can return it full for a full refund. I've had about 30 days now and I have to tell you I sleep very well and comfortably. No more hip pain. I have also noticed that I've been sleeping more hours without waking. Before I used a week every hour or so and toss and turnjust to get comfortable. Last night I slept for five hours straight without waking wants. Talk about getting a good nights sleep!
