We have slept on a TempurPedic for the last 14 years and have loved it, so when I saw the ad for the Purple bed, and heard a couple reviews from several friends who purchased one, I decided it was time for a new bed. When my Purple mattress arrived and was left at my door by the awesome delivery guys, I couldn't wait for my teenaged son or my husband to get home, so I mustered all my strength and drug that puppy into my bedroom. Anyone who knows about the TemperPedics, knows they're fairly heavy, but that guy was off my king-sized bed frame faster than a diaper on a toddler. Getting the Purple mattress up onto my bed frame took a little more effort, luckily I read the handy-dandy instructions on the slick cover BEFORE I removed it! Once I finagled that bad boy up onto my bed frame (we have a captains bed that the main platform sits about 36 inches off the floor), I used the super awesome 'letter opener" that comes with the mattress to remove the cover and that the mattress uncurl on its own. Figures, my luck it was upside down, but not to worry, I wasn't going to let that get me down. I folded it in half and flipped it like a burger and all was right with the world. After all that effort, I had to just lay down a rest a bit, you know, to try it out and make sure it was as awesome as they say it is. Of course, it smells 'fresh from the factory", so I let it air out a fe hours and put on my sheets (without my usual mattress pad, per the instructions) and made my bed so it was all nice and pretty. The husband had no idea that I switched mattresses! That evening, we both hopped in to retire and my husband looked at me with a strange face and asked if I did something to the bed, that 'something was different". I admitted to the new purchase, he shrugged his shoulders and we fell asleep. Honestly, it was a great sleep from the first night, however for the next couple of days, we both woke up a little bit sore in our lower backs. He was sure it was an awful mattress and I should return it immediately. I explained to him that even if we have bought a spring mattress, we need to sleep at least 30 nights on it before we can really decide if it is a 'good" mattress. He begrudgingly agreed and since then has never complained. In fact, when he goes on business trips and comes home, he is SO happy to get back into this awesome Purple mattress that we now claim. When I say it takes a bit of adjustment, first it has to do with not using a mattress pad so that the sheets allow the bed to work the way it is designed. That allows you to initially feel every single little 'honeycomb-like" portion - almost like little octopus suction cups, caressing your entire body, but not in a creepy way - more like in a personal-masseuse-kind-of-way! Now, I don't even feel the 'individual" portions, I just feels wonderful to lay back in bed every evening as I drift off into slumber! :) PS- it is worth every penny, but if you don't like it after having it for a couple of weeks, you can always return it (but something tells me you won't!)
