I've had my Original Purple Mattress for a little over a month now. I had done plenty of research, looked at countless reviews, purchased other mattresses that didn't work out, and ultimately decided Purple was the way I needed to go. Now, I know that there are the newer versions with the different comfort levels, but I decided with all the positive reviews for the Original and people saying how wonderful and life changing that one was, what was the need to go with the upgraded models? I also decided to purchase the Platform Base to replace my old box spring and the mattress protector to protect my investment. I have to say, the Platform base is fantastic. It really does support the mattress all the way around, so no matter where you are on the mattress it all feels the same... no more sinking in the middle from sitting or laying down (I'm 200+ pounds and slightly bottom heavy - I have quite a bit of legs, butt, and thighs to support). The mattress protector was a little different than what I was expecting. This one has a little more of a plastic/liner feel, but you adjust to it pretty quickly, so no big deal. It doesn't make you slide around or anything. Now to the mattress - here's where I have not been the happiest. The first couple of nights were brutal and I thought I had made a huge mistake at that point, but I kept hoping and being positive and knew that there would be an adjustment period for my body. Fast forward a month and I can't say that I am entirely happy with my mattress, even now with the adjustment period I've given it. I spend a lot of time in bed (I love my sleep and I work from home quite a bit, so quite often work gets done while sitting in bed) and to be honest I'm just very disappointed in the mattress overall. I still toss and turn quite a bit throughout the night, so I'm not getting the best of sleep. The mattress is not very thick, so with the combination of being on the Platform Base and being a chunky girl - I feel sometimes like I'm sleeping on the floor because I can feel the Base through the bed. The only positive so far is that I'm not sleeping as hot as I was before. The combination of having the Base with the mattress allows for quite a bit of air circulation, which is awesome. I don't know if I just had too high of expectations or what, but at this point, I'm still trying to decide if I want to return the mattress or just deal with it. It's quite a bit of money put out for something I'm not entirely happy with. I was so looking forward to experiencing that melt into your mattress, sleeping on a cloud feeling because it's just so darn comfortable, and instead I just keep getting more and more disappointed each day.
