It's a good mattress, but after reading hundreds of reviews and researching for a months, it certainly didn't live up to my expectations. I sleep well, but really not much better than I did on my 10 year old matress and box springs. I've slept better on memory foam mattresses. I'm not knocking it...it seems like it's alleviated pain for a lot of people, but I wasn't experiencing any bad pain before, so I don't have that aspect to review. Also, I'm pretty sure I broke one of the grids on the top of the mattress yesterday when I put my knee into it. I heard and felt a pop under my knee, and I wasn't putting all of my weight on it (I weigh about 180), so I'm not sure how durable this thing will be.

I really enjoy my purple bed and I'm finally sleeping again and little to no back pain my only complaint is that as soon as I got my purple bed I found out you guys have a new model. So with that said I will be sending it back for a new model but I love it

A good mattress is one that you don't ever have to think about, and don't they always say that good design is 99% invisible? The truth that most mattress companies don't like to talk about is that just about any mattress will do. Good sleep is determined by many factors, but funnily enough what you're sleeping on isn't a very big one. Back problems? also not strongly correlated with mattress quality, but rather more closely with what you do while you're awake in terms of lifestyle, such as lifting heavy things improperly all day, bending over often, or being overweight. Good sleep mostly comes down to having a consistent sleep schedule, not eating too close to bed time, cooling the body off, and reducing exposure to bright light sources. I like to read a book under dim lights before I go to bed and this helps fatigue my eyes without straining them, making it especially easy to fall asleep within 20 minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Some vigorous exercise a couple hours earlier also helps fatigue my whole body into begging for some of that good ol' shut eye. With these tools in hand, I could simply lay on a yoga mat and get good sleep. A full mattress is a luxury. It's something special to delight yourself in during those final moments before drifting away, and then begrudgingly lurch yourself out of in the morning. It's something of a double edged sword in that respect. It's almost too good to want to leave. It's relatively easy to motivate yourself off of a yoga mat or a sleeping bag in the morning, but a mattress? Better set up some back up alarms just in case. But as I mentioned, more or less any mattress can achieve this. Even if you feel stiff or strained in some way, the sheer softness and warmth is enough to persuade you not to rise. Springs, feathers, foam, lattices, it's all variations on the simplest of themes, something soft to lie in. As long as it's not too bent out of shape or poking you in some odd way it'll probably do. The Purple Mattress has fulfilled this role in the same manner that just about any other mattress I've lied in has, which is to say, thoroughly sufficient. It hasn't improved my sleep (and I knew it wouldn't), but it also hasn't made it any worse (I can make that happen on my own, thank you very much). Though I may sound flippant and dismissive towards whatever design and engineering went into producing and distributing this mattress, (I'm pretty sure the whole mattress business is all about the marketing at this point anyway) I nonetheless offer my heartiest gratitude for the enduring adequacy I have hitherto experienced.

We've had the purple for 2.5 years. When we first got it, it was comfortable. Now! All you feel when you lay on it is the grid and we wake up every morning with lower back pain. Not just me, both my boyfriend and I are walking funny and barely getting up for work because of how lousy we are sleeping. I paid over $1000 for this mattress when all was said and done and we also have the frame that goes with it. That type of money and my mattress only was comfortable for TWO YEARS! I am not satisfied. Now I have to start mattress shopping.

This was a great mattress for the first few months but now that I've had it for a few years it's by far the worst mattress I've ever slept on. I wake up in pain constantly and don't remember the last time I didn't. Even if I only got half my money back it would be worth it to return. I've bought mattress pads to help with pain and nothing works. I would NEVER recommend this mattress to anyone.

Ive been sleeping on my new Purple Queen mattress for a month and have been wonderfully delighted with the comfort! I have not had 1 single morning of aches or creaking joints or muscles, and have slept at least 4 hours before awaking to move or potty. I also bought an adjustable base at the same time, and it is first I've ever slept on. I sleep on it in the flat position, but read or play solitaire before sleeping with it in the Zero-G position. I sleep with a CPAP machine & find it helps reduce air loss from the mask. I Just LOVE my purple, and have told everyone I talk to about it. I am a semi-stomach sleeper, propping myself with a pillow that I hug like my old teddy bear. Just LOVE. LOVE, Love my purple!

The each side of the queen sized purple mattress is comfortable but there is a separate material straight down the center, top to bottom, that is uncomfortable. If you sleep in the center of your bed or try to sleep next to a partner this is a problem. If I had tried the mattress in a store I would not have purchased 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

Our old mattress wasn't very comfortable from day one. After years of putting up with it, we decided to try a Purple. I sleep on my side and used to wake up with low back pain and whatever arm I was laying on would be asleep. With the Purple all off my morning joint pain has stopped. The lack of motion transfer is great too.

I love the mattress. I love how the platform base gives me more under-bed storage room. I love how I can comfortably sleep on my back for the first time in years and not feel my muscles tensing up to accommodate for posture. I would buy Purple again in a heartbeat. There is just one problem in my opinion. Even after making my purchase, I am still barraged by ads for Purple everywhere I browse online. It is getting rather ludicrous. I already bought your product and I'm a satisfied customer, you don't need to keep pushing your product with me.
