So, a while back, my husband and I had been having a lot of back and shoulder and hip pain. We had trouble sleeping through the night, and we were searching desperately for a solution to our horrible old box spring mattress. I'll be honest, we were super hesitant about purchasing a mattress online, and we're poor college students so we didn't really want to spend a ton of money on a mattress. There seemed to be a lot of cheaper mattresses than the Purple mattress, but we really wanted something quality that could last for a long time. And, I kept running into Purple's advertisements (and lets be honest, their marketing is on point, so I was super intrigued) and I started pitching the idea to my husband to purchase it. And eventually, one night, I convinced him. (Plus if we didn't like it we could just get our money back! So why not?!) And let me tell you.... it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. We sleep so well. I hate going to visit family or sleeping in hotels because I can't sleep on my amazing mattress. It. Is. Like. Sleeping. On. A. Cloud. Except, the cloud is firm enough to support your body, and soft enough to cradle you like a baby. Seriously, it's amazing. So seriously, do it. You know you want to. Also, here's a few notes and details about our experience in case you're still hesitant: -My husband is about 225 lbs and I'm about 160 lbs. He sinks into the mattress a lot better than I do, but I still find it amazingly comfy -I sleep on my sides, and the shoulder pain I used to feel has completely vanished -He sleeps on his back, and he asks me for back rubs less often now...good deal, really -We've had our mattress a little over a month now, so we have given ourselves time to really get used to it before writing this review -You might want to get some stretchy sheets or a stretchy mattress protector. For the first week, we had a sorta thick mattress pad on top of the mattress, and while it was still comfy, we weren't getting the full sinking-in experience. We took it off and now we just have our regular sheets (which aren't really stretchy) and we feel the bed much better. However, the fitted sheet doesn't like to stay on the mattress, since the mattress does flex with your body, so we have to fix it every day. Slight annoyance, for the price of basically sleeping on a bunny rabbit -If you're thinking you're just gonna lay on this mattress and sink in like the raw eggs in the video, you're wrong. The mattress will bend to your body to an extent, but you're not gonna sink completely. The gel-y stuff it's made from is firm, so you really do get the support you need, but squishy enough to bend so you are super comfy -My husband and I wake up with so much more energy than we used to, and I actually sleep through the night!! -We bought the Purple mattress base with our mattress, which is super awesome, and we've found that the bed stays in place for the most part -It's awesome. Give it a try! It might just change your entire sleeping routine!
