We have had the original purple mattress for the past 5 months and it has delivered. We previously has a memory foam, a spring, and even tried the nectar mattress fro a couple months but none of them seemed to be that great for both my wife and I (who have two different sleeping patterns). This mattress is firm for my wife, yet soft enough for me. It breathes so my wife won't sleep hot anymore, but also keeps me warm. The edge support is good, I imagine the updated versions are even better. Overall it is an AWESOME Mattress, the only thing i wish PURPLE did was allow us to upgrade to a newer version with only paying the difference, but since that won't happen we will eventually get our next mattress from Purple, whenever that is.

I was sold on the magic of the Purple mattress from the almost 5 minute commercial featured on the website. I was, maybe unreasonably, expecting to fall asleep within minutes of lying down because I thought it was going to be immensely comfortable. As far as comfort, it is ok. It feels like a typical, firm memory-foam mattress. My wife says she can feel it providing better back support for her but I'm not sure I do. I especially don't feel it on my sides like Purple advertises. I will admit that I am a heavy person at 270 pounds, but the website, at the time of purchase anyway, said that it supported up to 300 pounds for each person (those more expanded details don't seem to be there now). As such, it has started to cave in on my side and there is a clear difference between the right side and the middle. This is only getting 2-stars because my wife says it supports her back better than our previous mattress, otherwise it would be 1-start.

I want to give the mattress a few more weeks to see if my opinion changes, but at the moment I am not pleased with my purchase. Maybe I'm too heavy for the mattress, but I feel like I am on the floor around my mid section and when I sleep on my stomach the lower back pain is unbearable. As I said, I want to see if that changes. my buying experience, however, was second to none - and I hope my opinion changes after a fair assessment period.

I like it softer. My husband likes it firm. He has no complaints. I wake up with my body needing to roll over and get the blood flowing again. I had hoped this would work for us both. We live in two homes so only have slept three nights so far on purple. Husband would give you excellent.

I couldn't lie on my other bed for more than ten minutes without feeling back and hip pain, i'd wake up countless times throughout the night but I'd go right back to sleep so I just thought it was an age thing (im 43). Every morning i'd wake up with hip and back pain. As a 12 year veteran massage therapist I consider my self to be an expert in pain management. I'm in great shape and really don't ever hurt (except after lying on my bed, and don't think i'm old at all). This bed was awesome! no more pain at all and I sleep throughout the night, I love it!

We had a Sleep Number bed that gradually 'sunk' in the middle. It was destroying our backs! I did lots of research on online mattress sites and ended up choosing Purple because of the flexible, supportive grid system (plus: it's purple!) Our new Purple mattress is flat and level, and feels so nice and supportive. We're very happy we switched!

I was bed bound shortly after I got my Purple. I expected to be hurting and sore after being in the mattress for days at a time, but I never felt sore, stiff, achy or uncomfortable while I laid around all day. The very first night with the Purple, I had minor lower back pain, but it's gone away and hasn't returned since. I am 5'1" 135ibs and the original Purple is working great for me, but it's very uncomfortable for my bigger roommates. I'm over the moon for this mattress, I slept on a pillowtop for 12 years thinking it was luxurious, but it was like sleeping in mud. I'm excited to go to sleep because of this bed.

I've had major back surgery but still suffered from sciatic nerve pain nightly. I tried stretching, extra pillows, even tennis balls. Nothing really helped.. From my first night on the Purple mattress, after laying on it for about 5 minutes, the pain was gone. I've had the mattress 2 weeks now and I can't believe the difference. On top of that, I wake up feeling less stiff in my lower back than I used to with my old mattress. I was hopeful that this mattress would help my back, but it has surpassed my expectations, which is a rare thing now days.

This was a lot firmer than anticipated and from other reviews. It's been making my back pain worse since there is little give in it. If you like firm then this is the one for you as the grid aspect is unique. But if you like soft (preferable for side sleepers) then keep looking. I'm returning mine for a different brand.

I have been searching for the perfect mattress for decades. At first I was skeptical ordering a mattress online without trying it first but the 100 day trial was a great selling point. The first night I liked it and still had to get used to it as my old sheets were way too big for this mattress. I decided to order the purple sheets and mattress cover. Wow! What a difference! It really did make the bed so much more comfortable. Not only is this mattress one of the best for my side sleeping and back sleeping, but I wake up with no more pain!!! I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I've had this mattress for over a month and it has relieved my lower back pain and all other aches and pains. I am happy I decided to order the sheets. I think I will order another color soon because they are so comfortable. I've been telling everyone I know about this mattress and convincing them that this will alleviate their aches and pains. I put this mattress over my old mattress which works for now until I can get me a box spring. I also have a good sturdy bed frame so the bed is rather high which I love. So far, this mattress is exactly what I need to get a great night sleep. I just hope it lasts for years to come!!!
