Second Purple purchase
This is the second mattress I've purchased from purple and I couldn't be more pleased. The complementary bamboo sheets that came with the bed (love the crisp white) are so comfortable and fit the bed perfectly. Even during the covid pandemic, my bed came in a completely reasonable timeframe, especially since this was an unexpected move during this time when it's proven difficult to get ahold of essentials in a timely manner.

Not quite what I expected
I was no longer able to sleep on my 12 year old pillow top mattress. The indentations on each side where my wife and I sleep were permanent and giving us daily debilitating back pain. I did as much research as I could and decided to buy a Purple. Not only did I get the mattress, but the full package of platform base, sheets, mattress protector, and pillow. Our first night was interesting. Between the smell of the mattress and the smell of the pillow we almost couldn't stand it. A change in the mattress was hard for our bodies to adjust to, so we didn't get much sleep the first week but we noticed our backs were not in as much pain. There was also some unexpected stiffness that we hoped would go away. Almost 60 days sleeping on this mattress I would give it 3 stars if my wife didn't like it so much. She sleeps well, doesn't have pain or stiffness, and has no complaints. I however still have daily stiffness which is very uncomfortable, though the actual spinal pain has lessened and is nearly eliminated. The stiffness seems to be muscle related and is probably not just the mattress' fault. For me, this mattress is like medicine. It's not comfortable and I don't look forward to sleeping in it, but I can't deny that it does feel better than an old broken mattress. If only it had a little more top cushioning...and then they released the new spring mattresses with the options for more top cushioning. Unfortunately I don't have the extra cash to afford a deluxe Purple mattress even if I return the one I have. I would send it back if I could find a better mattress that I could afford, but I'm not sure that it exists. A spring pillow top mattress might be more comfortable, but they wear out too fast and are not worth the long term problems. All other mattresses seem to have too many cons, or are basically the same as Purple. So because my wife sleeps well I guess we'll keep it and I'll just hope that I'm just being too picky about a mattress that is probably as comfortable as it gets. I will add it does sleep very cool, but not so cool that my wife ends up freezing (she gets cold easily). I wish this was the mattress of my dreams, and I can't deny it's pretty good, but if only there was a mattress that took all the pain and stiffness away and that I couldn't wait to sleep in each night.

Great for pain
this mattress has been awesome its just the right amount of firm but soft. Its cool to feel the grid pattern in it. My husband has been in a few auto accidents and he suffers from pain daily but this bed at least allows him a more comfortable night sleep.

Super comfy
We love our new mattress! Had a tempurpedic for ten years that we loved so were hesitant to try anything else. This mattress is so comfortable. We got the sheets as well. My husband liked them right away but I was a tough sell because I am a cotton girl. They really grew on me and I don't get hot. Great bed

Nice but not for me
Firm, but responsive mattress. The mattress is very heavy. I hurt my back while trying to help my husband move it upstairs so I haven't been sleeping well at all. I've decided to go back to our old one. The Purple mattress is much thinner than our old mattress and that makes it a poor fit in our bed frame with head and foot boards. (I'm sure it would have been awesome in their adjustable frame.) I also found that I would wake up several times during the night and be really hot. I would have liked to have tried their sheets but I used our stretchiest ones instead. Pretty decent mattress, but just not right for me.

New Purple 4 - Give it Time
We originally ordered an original purple, and we were really hopeful that we would love it, but my husband couldn't even lay on it for 10inutes. He has multiple ruptured discs, and the extremely firm feel of the mattress wasn't working for him. I slept on it for a week or.two while we negotiated an exchange, and that time couldn't go by fast enough. My back was spasming, and the pressure of this "no-pressure" mattress was excruciating! But then the 4 came. We went for the total.opposite end of the spectrum. So. Soft. It felt like heaven. I wanted to fall instantly in love, but it wasn't to be. I tossed, turned, ached, and agonized. My muscles kept cramping and spasming.uscle memory is a powerful thing, y'all. My back muscles were trying to support me and protect me from my old mattress still. Two weeks was the magic number when the pain started easing, but even during that time of broken sleep and waking up hurting, I was actually waking up feeling more rested. My son won't sleep in his room anymore. Even my husband, who has been sleeping on the couch for 4 years due to.no mattress agreeing with his back problems, can take naps.on it. "Naps". They turn into 4+ hour snore sessions *lol*. I think he could sleep through the night, if he'd give it a chance. TL:Dr the adjustment period is real. Really real. Painfully, real. Don't get discouraged too quickly. Bear in mind your preferences. If you don't like firm mattresses, go for the 3 or 4. If you're heavy, go for the more plush layer. Don't expect it to feel like any other mattress. It's definitely unique. I am now in love with my Purple!

Still not sure about this mattress
First the good; while I typically am a back sleeper, I sometimes lay on one side or the other. With this mattress, on either side, my shoulder does NOT hurt. Shoulder pain when on my side was an issue on my Tuft and Needle mattress. Second the not so good; I think the mattress is too firm. Much too firm. But, when I compare it to my Tuft and Needle, it feels almost the same. I have only been sleeping on the original Purple for a week, so maybe I just need more time to get used to it. Third, the I don't know; I keep my bedroom cool, so I am not sure if I am sleeping cooler or not. Since I have had this for only a short time, I am not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I think a softer mattress would be better, but like I said above, when I lay on the Purple and then the Tuft and Needle, they feel almost the same. I also have not been sleeping real well, but I can't attribute that only to the new mattress. It might be, IDK. Time will tell. My wife hasn't slept on this mattress at all, so there is no telling what she's going to think. Good thing we have a 100 night test period.

Very satisfied!
I was super excited about getting this mattress. It has lived up to everything that I had expected it to be. Honestly, it took a few weeks to really get use to it. I was not use to that kind of support. It's soft but yet supportive at the same time. It has really helped my back and hips and I don't wake up in the middle of the night as much. The longer I sleep in this bed the better it gets. I am totally satisfied and would highly recommend. I purchased to steel frame as well. Super easy to set up. It just folds out. Also......I was surprised how well packaged the mattress was. It came in a cool plastic purple duffle bag. This is a high quality product! Shipping was faster than I had expected and Purple kept me updated on the tracking. Very cool!

Not What I Thought It Would Be :/
I've had a solid seven months to try the Purple bedding system. This may be somewhat lengthy but it's the truth & may help others while making a purchasing decision. First off, I made the purchase because I needed more support for my lower back & hip injuries than what my old mattress was affording. I was in the Army & deployed a lot so these injuries are both old & degenerative. Secondly, I hurt all the time & my sleep isn't great anyway but add the constant pain & no support and, well, not a recipe for a good night's sleep. Lastly, being in peri-menopause for the last 11 years on top of all of that is just the perfect finishing touch (insert eye roll). The night sweats trapped body heat into my old mattress so I was roasting every night. I did my research for several weeks & even chatted online with a Purple representative about which sleep system would work best for me. (She assured me the original mattress would provide plenty of back/hip support & would pull heat away from my body during a hot flash.) The price was excellent & along with the twin XL mattress, I got the foundation & a set of free sheets (thanks & I LoVe these). I actually got everything but the sheets on my birthday & I set it up immediately. I couldn't wait to see if this thing was as good as advertised & I desperately needed some good, restful sleep. The first night was amazing! Truly nothing short of a dream!!!! I slept so well & with less waking events than I had had in a very long time. I also woke up less sore the next morning so I was sold. I felt completely satisfied with the purchase I made, or so I thought. The next nights & weeks went by with no issue. Then one morning I woke up incredibly sore like I'd slept on my old pillow top again. Odd, right? I hadn't re-injured myself or anything so this was definitely bizarre. Then week by week, I lost all the support the sleep system previously supplied. My body heat was also no longer pulling away from me; rather it was just staying directly beneath me in the mattress. None of the issues I have have been helped beyond that first few months & it's very frustrating. I'm still making payments & it wasn't the right product for me. And while I'm past the trial period & cannot return it, this sleep system has really failed me. I basically have a much smaller and more expensive version of my old bed. I'm actively searching for a twin XL mattress (not a Purple) that is some kind of hybrid that'll do what I need it to.

Months of research led me to Purple!
First off, you MUST sleep on it for at least 10 days before you decide if you love it or not. If I had not done this I would have sent it back. I am SO glad I kept it! After years of back and hip pain I started to research new mattresses. I was hesitant to buy a memory foam mattress due to firmness and the fact that I run hot at night and foam tends to make you hot. My husband and I are big folks... wanted to be sure we'd be supported and comfortable. Decided on the Purple and after the 'get your body accustomed' period we both LOVE IT! Best sheets to use are the tee-shirt sheets. Stretchy but cool. I used to wake up soaked in sweat. Not anymore since Purple!
