I was skeptical on whether or not to purchase this type of mattress. I have chronic neck and back pain and was so afraid that the mattress would be to soft or just worsen the pain, but it's had been wonderful no pain, it took a couple nights to get use to because you don't sink into the mattress you sleep on top (if that makes sense) or maybe i just had a real bad mattress before hand...lol I would definitely recommend this mattress if you are on the fence, take the leap it is well worth it!

Compared to other beds, Purple is definitely softer and feels way better than your average spring mattress. When you touch or push on the top layer it feels soft but when you're laying on it, it's comfortable yet also contorts to your body and is firmer. An example of this is how you could lay on your back and the mattress would raise up to meet the curve of your spine while other mattresses may leave you with a gap. There is also a mattress smell for the first few days but that quickly passes. Installation is also easy as the package comes with a cutter for the vacuum sealed plastic that works amazingly. Overall I'd say that if you have the money and/or don't mind spending a little extra, Purple is definitely a great choice. If you're not too keen on the price however, I'd say it's something you can live without.

I used to sleep on a heating pad every night because I was in so much pain from two previous back surgeries. My husband used to toss and turn every night from hip pain. Our old mattress was like sleeping on a board. We received our King 4 mattress and now the pain is gone for both of us. Its like sleeping on a cloud. All the pressure points are gone and we sleep like babies again. If you have aches and pains, you need this mattress!

My teenager was really set on having a Purple so 3 years ago we bought the first. It has worn really well so when it was time for me to get a new bed I went back to purple. I enjoy how much its helped my joints... much less hip pain so I wake and roll less.

I usually don't write reviews, but this one I had to do. I have suffered from chronic back pain for over 10 years. I've tried every medical procedure, tried every type of physical therapy, acupuncture, etc. Nothing, and I mean nothing gave me relief at night and allowed me to get a good night's sleep. I saw the commercial for the Purple bed and viewed it as just another "hype" product. However, since I have tried every mattress under the sun, even the high priced "number" bed and the "memory" beds, I thought what the heck, I'll try this one because they do give you a 30 day trial period. Well, I cannot tell you how pleased and surprised I was after trying just one night. For the first time in years I slept through the night and woke up with no back pain! On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, I rate this mattress a 12! Thank you Purple, you have made the quality of my life so much better! I highly recommend . Diane L, New York City

I'm really sorry to say that I am utterly disappointed with this mattress since I had such high hopes for it. Purchasing this mattress wasn't a heat of the moment, and I'm sure like everybody else, we did a lot of research and watched many mattresses comparison videos. At last, we went with Purple because of its reviews and unique technology, and we ended up purchasing the original one because it claims to have "medium-firm feel", which would've been great for me as a back-sleeper and for my bf who is a side-sleeper. Shipping was fast, so that is a plus. I literally rushed home with excitement after seeing that it had been delivered. After unrolling it, our first impression of the mattress is that it is very heavy and smaller or shorter in height than many mattresses out there. When we finally got to feel and lay on it, we tried every test we could and were surprised by its so-called "medium firm feel." It definitely does not feel like a medium firm to us. It felt soft. And when you lay on it, you can definitely feel the grid pattern, instead of a flat surface, so that will take some time adjusting. Even with these impressions, I still decided to give it a fair try. Before we went to sleep, my bf and I sat/laid on the bed as usual to use our phones. But just after about 5-10 minutes, I could already feel a lower-back sting/pain. My bf asked if we should switch back to our old mattress, but I insisted on giving it a fair try. And, I'm glad I did. Because now I am almost certain that I will be returning it after sharing my experience. Neither is my bf nor I am a picky sleeper. Because we travel a lot, we have slept in many different kinds of beds. Since I am lighter in weight, the Purple Original made me feel like I was floating on top of the mattress instead of sinking in for the back support. Maybe the firmness is considered "medium firm" in comparison to Purple's other mattresses, but I personally think it is misleading. My bf is normal in weight and initially thought the mattress would be great for him as a side-sleeper. But he changed his mind in the morning. When I woke up for work in the morning, I realized my bf wasn't sleeping next to me. Later, I found him in the living room because he said the mattress wasn't very comfortable. So, our conclusion is that Purple Original is not a mattress for us. And, please keep in mind that since Purple uses different technologies and materials for its mattresses, the definition of its firmness may be different and it may take some time to get used to it. My takeaway from this experience is that Purple sure does a great job on marketing retention and advertising their brand. We plan on doing a review video and we are still debating if we should give Purple 2 a try, given that is claims to be "firm".

This is the second purple mattress I've purchased. I love my bed, a lot. We have had the first one for aprox 5 years and has just started developing small dips. My daughter was needing a new one and said my bed was awesome so I got her one and the next morning she said it was wonderful and did not sweat like before.

I have had my Purple Mattress for 2 weeks and I can tell you that so far, it is great! From the very first night, it has been exactly what I wanted it to be. It is firm and supportive but does not cause me any joint pain in my shoulders like other firm mattresses have in the past. Looking forward to more pain-free sleep!

Oh my gosh, this bed is wonderful! I have been having issues sleeping for months now due to a bad hip which causes my back to hurt as well. I have spent many nights rolling - feeling like a rotisserie chicken, just trying to find a comfortable position. The first night on it I sat down on it and thought "wow, this is interesting". I slept pretty good. The second night, I slept fabulous! After a week of sleeping on it, I no longer feel like a rotisserie chicken rolling all night to find a comfortable position!!! Thank you Purple for giving me my sleep back!

It has a fairly firm feel, but I love that it cradles the pressure points so well. The sheets are on point (that means great);) I'm not sure if it's the mattress or the sheets or a combination of the two, but they seem to retain body heat for long time after I get out of bed. I need a wedge pillow made by you guys in a bad way! I have sleep apnea, but I don't have a cpap machine yet. Need the wedge! It would help all those folks with gerd. Medcline offers a fancy wedge, but I tried it and it was terrible. The ol purple folks could make a smashing wedge pillow though! Send me your first test wedge pillow and I'll give you my blessing to move forward with production if it works well. Don't try to church it up with fancy bells and whistles like ol medcline and their super dud... Ya know, I haven't tried the egg test yet. I should probably erase this review and do the egg test before I leave a review. Haha JK'ing you. I love eggs too much to waste one in my mattress. I hope no chics were harmed in the filming of your commercials B T Dubs (that's BTW/by the way). Well, bless you all for making a wonderful product and taking the time out of your day to find out how I feel about it. Hit me up on the IG ( that's Instagram) @Brettnemitz give me a shout. Until next time... areevaderchy! (That's Japanese for Duces)✌️
