I'm a fairly large (230 lbs, 6') side sleeper and I've often found myself getting hot at night. My wife and I had a pretty nice king mattress that was coils and medium firmness. We slept on it for 8 years and it was pretty nice. But it became misshapen, shrunken, and a little lumpy. When I started looking for a new one I was thinking memory foam to help with my pressure points (shoulders and hips). I decided to spend a little extra for something that promised to sleep cool as well. Purple was the only mattress that people consistently noted as sleeping cool. The squishy grid not only provides that cool but also helps with those pressure points and adds a little bounce to the bed. I've slept on pure memory foam and it is more work to move for shifting positions and getting up out of bed. The squishy grid's bounce helps with that as well. We've slept on this Purple (the original) mattress for about a month now and it is excellent. We didn't need an adjustment period, but that may be because our previous bed was a similar firmness. The Purple is definitely easier on my joints though. So even on night 1 I slept better than I had in a long time. I can't speak much to longevity, but I'm optimistic the build quality will get us a reasonable amount of years sleeping very comfortably.

I had the queen purple mattress. It was really good for about 3 weeks then lost all its bounce and sank in on me and started hurting my lower back. I weigh about 180. Love the whole purple concept though. I wonder what the mattress would be like if it was all the purple honeycomb material and no foam.

Best experience on a mattress ever. It's like lying down on a high quality and stable bed of jello. It is truly unique in a very positive way. I hear reviewers claiming the uniqueness of the mattress could turn people away. Uniqueness does not have to be a negative thing. Someone has finally broken through the same old mediocre "memory foam/inner spring mattress feel" and has created something great. Sorry uniqueness is not a valid excuse to not like this mattress. That being said the actually feel might not be for everyone but every one should at least try it. You got nothing to lose.

We upgraded from a Select Comfort mattress, which was no longer helping my wife's back and hip pressure issues. The Purple seems to cradle her problem areas much, much better; she saw big improvements immediately. We bought a second one about a two months later, so now we have one in the master bedroom, and one in the guest room. They're great, especially combined with the Reverie adjustable foundations.

I enjoy the customer service at Purple, the marketing is Genius but so far my wife and I have spent 20 plus nights with shoulder pain. We are both lighter weight people and side sleepers and this Mattress doesn't seem good for side sleepers. We ordered during the COVID-19 crisis, what I think we need is a purple 3 but we cant afford it. I suppose we will probably send it back and go with another company assuming they won't move on price.

I am liking the mattress but have realized that it may have been my foundation that was truly the issue. May I suggest that you roll it during shipping so that it unrolls right side up. I had to flip this by myself and it is heavy. Sleeping well. Thanks.

I have had my purple 3 for a month now, I still have not adjusted to it and don't sleep well because of back pain. I was so excited to get my purple bed so I can finally be comfortable and sleep! Not happening I am unable to sleep through the night and my pain has not subsided. Very disappointed.

Great mattress. Back feels better. It's very comfortable! So far it's been worth every penny. Some of my friends layed on it for a few minutes and thought it was very comfortable. I will definitely recommend purple to anyone I know looking to buy a new mattress!

My husband and I got the better purple mattress and the pillow. We gave it a good two months for our bodies to adjust to a new mattress. We have had more back and neck pain then when we had our old mattress. Some days its hard to get out of bed, walk, breathe, or even go to work because of the pain. We toss and turn all night and I feel every movement my husband makes. We missed our 100 day return trial period. Honestly I regret spending that kind of money on what should be the best mattress and pillow out there. Not sure if it is just too firm or what but I am very disappointed. Its great to read all good reviews but does everyone else have good luck because my husband and I have not. I can not find one bad review.

I'd had my old mattress for 15 years, and knew I needed an upgrade. I compared over a dozen different mattresses before going with Purple - the reason I selected Purple was because of its new and unique technology. I'm so glad I went with it - it's so supportive and comfortable. My partner had trouble adjusting (side sleeper), but after about a week, he is well-adjusted and sleeps like a rock! The only issue I had is that the queen-sized mattress is definitely more than 100 lbs, but on the site, it's advertised as being less than 100. It was *extremely* heavy, and difficult to move once it's out of the case, but its level of comfort and support makes up for it all.
