I sleep on my stomach with a very soft down pillow. My husband is a back and side sleeper. I weigh 135, he weighs 200. I love this bed. I used to wake up sore and sweating. It took me a week to adjuat, but my body feels so much more rested. My husband isn't too picky but does get overheated easily. The air pockets definitely help. We did have to purchase a new pillow for him though because of the way his body aligns I'm this bed, he needed a firmer pillow to support him in contrast to our other spring matresses. We use a box spring under our matresses and it supports it's weight well. The matresses protector is my favorite and I will be purchasing one for every bed in our home.

After the first night I am feeling more rested than I have in so long. Although I supposedly only got 5 hours of sleep last night, according to my tracker, I got 10% more REM sleep than previous nights in the past week. I feel like a whole different person today! Normally, I get 6-7 hours and still feel completely drained the next day. Literally dragging all the time. It was my normal. Today I haven't felt tired at all, and this is usually the time I'm barely keeping my eyes open! Best investment ever. If you work all day, everyday, you've gotta rest harder! If you're thinking about getting one... do it. You won't regret it!

I originally reviewed my Purple mattress after a few days of sleeping on it and was not horribly impressed. I still had back pain and missed the feel of my old mattress. My wife was also still using a 1" memory foam mattress on top of the Purple mattress because the Purple mattress was not soft enough for her. To me, that seemed like it was defeating the purpose of having a new mattress. Why would I buy a new mattress so that my wife could essentially bypass the selling feature of the new mattress by using the same memory foam pad on the new mattress as she used on the old? As an experiment, after about 30 days of sleeping on the Purple mattress, I switched back to my old mattress (a very expensive one with air bladders that allows you to set a number independently on both sides of the bed related to how firm you want the mattress). At the onset of this experiment,, the "old" mattress just did not feel right. Apparently, I was indeed becoming used to the Purple mattress and found myself missing it as I laid down the first night on my old mattress. While I mentioned I initially felt as if the Purple mattress was too stiff compared to my previous mattress, I now found myself complaining that my old mattress was too firm. It did not seem to cradle my body the same way. As I mentioned, I was less than impressed with the Purple mattress initially. Based on the reviews and videos, I expected something magical. Magical it was not. When I returned back to my old mattress, it was with the intent of staying with it and returning the Purple mattress. After all, if the Purple mattress really was no better than my previous mattress, why keep it and pay for a mattress that I am not using or offers no clear benefit over my previous mattress. There is a full 100 days to try it out, but I figured, why wait that long? I have also seen feedback from Purple to some of the negative reviews encouraging people to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 days. When I read those, I tried to figure out what the big deal would be? What would change after 30 days that did not change after 20 or 10, or wouldn't change after 40 or 50? The first impression was important, and I was less than impressed. Anyway, getting back to my "which mattress is actually better" experiment... I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that the experiment lasted a total of one whole evening. After switching back to my old mattress, I woke up several times in the evening with back pain and, as I am writing this review in the late afternoon, my back still hurts. The icing on the cake was when my wife told me she now hated our old mattress (the mattress she used to absolutely love) and to put the Purple mattress back. She was originally wishy-washy on which mattress to keep. She did not hate the Purple mattress, but also did not think it was anything special... until she went back to sleeping on the old mattress, which gave her some significant back and hip pain. With that being said, I am indeed keeping my Purple mattress without any regrets and wish this mattress would have been available back when I spent about five to six times as much for the mattress I currently own. One positive thing that I must mention as well is that neither my wife nor myself have awoken in the middle of the night in a pool of sweat like we used to on our old mattress. The Purple mattress does indeed help keep us cool when sleeping, which was something I did notice right away. For what it's worth, I kind of wish Purple would sell the purple polymer matrix alone so it could be added over the top of an existing bed. I am not sure if that would work, and I doubt that Purple would want to do that as the bed is engineered to work with the foam layers it has, but I would have been willing to try it. I also have a split king adjustable frame, yet Purple does not offer such an option, so when I raise up my part of the bed, it elevates part of my wife's side unevenly, which means we must raise both sides of our bed together (which never happens) or I must be a little less aggressive in how I adjust my side of the bed. Compared to our previous mattress, the Purple mattress is also a lot thinner, which reduced the height of our bed. This has taken some getting used to for my wife. (As for me, I did not notice or care as much.) Considering how heavy this mattress is, I do not know I would actually want it to be much thicker as I would need a lot more friends to help me move it. Maybe that would be another suggestion too... Put some handles or something on it. Not that we move the mattress often, but when you do, it is large, heavy, bulky, and cumbersome. (Not sure how to add handles to a foam mattress, but then again, I'm not the bedding engineer like the gurus at Purple.) For those reasons, and the initial hesitancy I had when first trying out the bed, I had to give four (not five) stars. For what it's worth, my 10 year old daughter loved the mattress from day one and wanted it for herself when I too

My lower back pain has been relieved & my sleep is more restful since getting my purple split king. It is on the adjustable base and allows me to adjust to comfortable heights. The only draw back is the noise when motioning, but it is totally bearable. I am a happy customer.

I just have to say I have tried almost every type of mattress there is and I must say I am very pleased with the purple. I bought the purple original and im about 228 pounds and I have been sleeping on it for about 3 weeks now and I have no complaints. There is no pressure point no matter which way I sleep. I have definitely been recommending purple to everybody I know.

The Purple bed is comfortable and firm. At first, we thought it was just another temper pedic but it really does push back and remain firm. The 4 star rating is because the delivery was not within web site timeframe due to a factory issue We feel in the future, we will replace any existing mattresses with Purple.

We have had our Purple mattress for at least 1 month now. My wife and I have loved the comfort of the mattress since night 1. Any spot you sleep on offers perfect support and comfort. We love how quiet the mattress is and especially the platform base we purchased from Purple. No sound at all, no matter if you're getting on, off or moving around on the mattress. Just what we wanted. I have the utmost confidence in its durability and longevity. We also love the storage space available underneath the platform base. We have so much more space than we had before which frees up so much space in our closets. We store large boxes of dry food for emergencies and this platform base is PERFECT for those boxes. We received the free sheets from Purple as well. At first we weren't sure about them, but after sleeping in them for a while they are our favorite. They breathe so nicely and are lightweight. So soft and comfortable. They're like a jersey fabric. I wish we could purchase another set from Purple. We are currently planning on purchasing another Purple mattress and Platform Base for my parents. They are not in the best of health and have had their mattress for 20 years. I can't imagine a better option for my parents.

This is the second Purple I have had. The first started to get a few saggy spots after about 2-3 years. I contacted the company not really expecting to get far. However, I was shocked to find put that after submitting the needed photos and information they had already shipped out a replacement. They even offered to have a company come get the old one. Great company who follows through on their promises. I dont think I'll ever buy another mattress from anyone else. .

Most of the other reviews say this mattress is very soft and coming from a plush pillowtop mattress, that's what I was hoping for. Sadly I found the purple mattress far too firm for my taste and will be going back to a pillowtop. The customer service, sheets, and platform base have all been spectacular though, but the mattress just isn't for me. Even after 6 weeks, I still wake up in the middle of the night with my arm completely asleep (side sleeper) and I'm constantly tossing and turning. I will say that the mattress does stay very cool all night long which is a plus, and perhaps the purple 4.0 would be more my speed, but I don't have that kind of money right now.

I was going to wait longer to write a review as it's only been a month since I bought the original purple mattress but I can't wait. I've told all my friends and want to shout it from the rooftop. It's the best mattress I've ever had. I've read that you will either love the purple concept or hate it. I can't see how anyone could not like this. It's soft, supportive, firm and responsive all at the same time. And very cool or tempature nuetral. I'm a hot sleeper and memory foam is out of the question no matter what they say they have infused it with. They are just to hot. I'm a stomach and side sleeper. This mattress is great for any sleeping position. You will look forward to bedtime. I would like to try the purple 4 sometime as four inches of purple has to be amazing but I can tell you that the original purple is a very awesome mattress. Come join the purple. You won't regret it. And a big thank you to everyone at Purple. They have been a pleasure to deal with.
