Well, we both NEVER expected the hype and reviews to be true. But I will tell you, though it's a weird mattress, since night one, we've both woken up with NO soreness in our shoulders, neck, back, or legs. It still is surprising, but we are very satisfied.

I am also a disabled veteran. I have had every ligament in my knees repaired in various ways, and have very little cartilage left. They tell me I'm too young for knee replacements, so I deal. I'm an oil field truck driver to pay the bills. Over the course of the work-day, the pain travels from my knees to my hips and up my back, eventually ending in my neck, all of which have arthritis already. When doctors ask to rate your pain, I would say mine hits 8/10 every night I work. I also have severe sleep apnea and have never been able to sleep on my back until Purple. The mattress I had before I bought a Purple was a pillow top spring and foam thing that felt comfortable at first, but I found that I woke up still in pain and even managed to tear my rotator cuff in my sleep somehow. I still don't know how that works. My roommate suggested a new mattress might be the answer, but I am cheap! I have had people recommend Purple mattresses to me, so I looked into them. I used Affirm to purchase a Queen original purple at 0% interest. The first night I had the Purple mattress, I slept deeper and longer than I have slept in years. I refer to it as "Drool-sleep". I didn't notice any unpleasant scents. The pressure relief is noticeable, even when laying on my side in my hips and knees. I have also noticed that my spine is in a much better line no matter sleep position. Back, side, stomach, I use them all. My CPAP AHI score went from 5 to 1.3. I'm not saying it works miracles! It might not work for everyone. Some mornings, I still wake up creaky and a little groggy. But I find that I want to sleep so much more and I wake up with much less pain. I can't take naps any more. They turn into accidental sleep marathons. Even my dogs love the new mattress and wake me up so they can take it over. My only complaint is that I keep being late for work because I don't want to get out of bed!

The product is starting to fall apart/lose shape. I received the purple topper and several seat cushions The seat cushions were the first to go out - after 6 months of driving 2-3 hrs per day, the seat cushion no longer holds shape and actually hurts to sit on My bed topper was great the first 5 months, but now the product is actually CAUSING BACK PAINS for both me and my girlfriend.

This was everything we promised. I am recovering from back surgery and my wife was pregnant at the time we purchased. We got twin xl and both have loved it. Past our 100 days and its still just as nice as when we bought it. I only wish they offered there sheets in another color than purple. Cause there sheets are awesome when it comes to temperature control

My wife and I are blown away with the comfort of this mattress. It's different for sure, and took a night or two to get used to, but now that we're used to it I can't imagine ever going back. What we didn't expect was also how QUIET it is! Without the creaky springs the mattress is completely silent. All in all we're totally happy with our purchase!

I bought the Purple Mattress. I was pretty nervous about buying such an expensive mattress but, I have to say it is totally worth it!! I am a stomach and side sleeper and the purple mattress is amazing! I wasn't sure if the first one was going to be the right one. It is perfect. If you sleep on your back, the first version might not be the one for you but, it is still really good for that. It is just not as good as sleeping on your side or stomach. I used to wake up sore and stiff. I wake up now instantly ready for the day, not hurting at all! I will definitely buy another one once this one dies. Totally worth the money!!

Only a week ago I bought the mattress, and yes, I see improvements The temperature of my body is high and I have perspiration problem that was uncomfortable at night. Using a combination of Purple mattress, cooling pillow and cooling bamboo sheets, I have already slept for 6 straight hours without waking up. It was an excellent purchase. I am satisfied and happy

It's a touchy topic in my house.. The first week we got it we both loved it. A month later, my fiancé started feeling different about the mattress. She has lower back pains every other night. Tosses and turns (side sleeper), mentions neck and spine pain every other day. I on the other hand enjoy the mattres I fall asleep fast and rarely toss and turn.

When I first got my purple, it went according to what the reviews said would happen. We unwrapped it and it inflated quickly. I was able to sleep on it the day it arrived. There were a few nights where the mattress felt particularly stiff but after the first couple of days, it was honestly just so comfortable. I'm sleeping better than I have in years and I never find myself in pain or worrying about if my back is going to ache. I purchased the purple because it was supposed to be supurb for side sleepers like me. I definitely think this was a great investment. I wouldn't have gotten this quality for this price anywhere else.

It's been about 12 nights since we've had our Purple mattress, and in all honesty, we love it! My husband and I are both combo sleepers (side, back, and stomach), and the bed has been comfortable in all positions. We no longer feel the other toss and turn in the middle of the night too. My husband is a light sleeper, but he has been sleeping well since we got the Purple! I'm extremely happy with our Purple now, but can see how the mattress may lose its firmness over time, as mentioned in other reviews. I'm crossing my fingers that won't be the case. Until then, I'd buy a Purple a hundred times over!
