For those of you with the Purple mattresses, did you buy their special stretchy sheets, too? Or, are you using your own? No, I did not buy their sheets. Mine work fine. I don't have any idea how stretchy sheets would make it better. I did buy their mattress cover though.  |

Looking forward to your review in a month, we saw this ad on you tube and watched the entire thing. Dh has back problems so I think it might help but he's skeptical.
His mattress is about 6 years old, but the side part is broken, you can feel it has much less support. It's a big investment though since he needs a cal king

The reviews I've read say that is it terrible for side sleepers. I'm a side sleeper. That is the only reason I've shied away from the purple. I hate my current memory foam mattress with a passion. My right shoulder hurts so much every morning.

My right shoulder hurts so much every morning. I'm a side sleeper. No issues for me - what is supposed to be the problem for side sleepers? We got two twin XL mattresses (which fit in a King frame side by side) rather than a single king. That was 100% due to the adjustable bases, but a good bonus was if one of us liked it and the other hated it, we could only replace half until we both had mattresses we liked. I was worried about having separate mattresses but it hasn't been any problem. |

I too am curious as to what you read. |

My right shoulder hurts so much every morning. I hated the Purple Bed, like hated it with a passion. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogrens Syndrome, by the 3rd day, I hurt so bad I refused to sleep on it anymore. I am a side sleeper, my ankles,hips and shoulder ached from that mattress. My DH, who has a terrible back from his military service, did O.K on it. Over the holidays, my DD (she's 23) and her boyfriend slept on it, within a week, we switched them to the old air mattress. Weirdly, my DD's jaw ached from sleeping on it. We went back to our old Sleep Number bed. While getting the refund by donating was easy and convenient, I can not recommend this bed if you have any joint/arthritis problems. Saying that, I hope it works for you Patter |

mellyw, sorry it didn't work for you. Yours is one of the first bad reviews I have seen. I have joint problems, major hip problems, and I felt so much better on it last night than I have in over a year. We will see as each night goes on.

To me, no mattress is going to be a good fit for everyone, and it's impossible to predict what will work for you. That's the biggest argument to me for going with Purple or some other similar online brand - no hassle refunds. Stores claim they let you exchange it, but I've found it to be a huge hassle with fees, limited selection in their store, etc. The online model/100 night trial is changing the game for the better.
I think until you sleep on it in your own, real environment, it's hard to know if a specific mattress will work for you.

I have no idea what a purple mattress is but this has me intrigued. Dh has terrible back problems. We have a memory now which is ok but we do need to replace it at some point . I love pea reviews on products like this. He has the cool pillow which he loves. I learned that from that peas too! |

I hope you keep loving it. I never heard of it when we bought ours in November, We ended up buying a Charles P Rogers power core Nano I have never loved a bed more. So comfortable and I have a really bad back and bursitis in both hips. I highly recommend them. www.charlesprogers.com/mattresses-mattress-sets-c-4_290.html |

Hey Patter finally home so I could reply. So happy to hear you like it. I got my shipping notice and mine comes Friday. But wait, there's more. Before I got actual shipping date, Purple sent me a email about their new product, a power base!!! I fell in love with concept. I went back and forth, do I want/need it? Cause the purple mattress just sits on top of your current mattress box spring. I was thrilled that I didn't have to break down my entire bed and frame and lug it out of the house. But the more I watched the video, the more I knew I had to have it. It shipped as well, so fingers crossed I'll be sleeping on my new mattress and base by this weekend. But now I'll have to clean under the bed cause I have disco lights under my frame now!!! Watch the video! Power base |

I guess I have been living under a rock.. never heard of this bed before.. looks intriguing...I have a Sleep Number and pretty happy with it.. although it is getting old. I am thinking though this mattress wouldn't fit on top... I would have to start over and get a new base and box springs?? Anyone know?

If you are interested in the bed, it is absolutely worth trying because of all those factors. And too add on to the no hassle refunds, when we contacted them, they offered to help find a charity that would come pick it up. We just rolled it back up and took it to Goodwill, but customer service was quick to respond and very efficient, sadly not something you can say a lot these days. |

The mattress can sit on top of your box spring or a frame that Purple has made especially for mattress. However they have a new power base that looked amazing, therefore I got it! They should be here Friday! I got a queen, mattress was $1000 and power base $1500. I think a complete set with mattress and power control massage base for a total price of $2500 is pretty amazing. |

Hope you love the power base! Ours are from Costco but it has been a game changer for DH. I don't use mine a ton, mostly just to read, but every once in awhile something will be hurting and it's great to be able to adjust. Watch out for turning the massage feature on accidentally in the night... that is startling. LOL! The massage feature on ours is worthless, just a ridiculous vibration, haha. |

Thank you for this thread Patter. We were looking at this mattress tonite. We are remodeling our bedroom & waiting not so patiently for our carpet to come & then to move back into our bedroom. We really need a new mattress. My shoulders kill me. Hubby has acid reflux & used a wedge. He is also diabetic with neuropathy & loves his heated mattress pad. Do you think we can still use that with the purple mattress? Linda Lou please come back with a review on the power base. I love that this enabling post is so timely for us! Thanks Peas!

I am a side/stomach sleeper who needs a cloud to sleep without pain. My do is a side/back sleeper who prefers a concrete slab. Very difficult for us to find a bed that works well for both of us. It's actually been about 10 yrs. Would the purple work for such vastly different needs?

I really can't tell you if it would work for your hubby but it sounds like he could benefit from the power base. Our thought was that it is SO easy to get a refund, why not try it for 100 days. There were a few reasons we went with this mattress--the polymer top, great reviews, and the ease of a refund. |

You could get two different mattresses with two twin power bases from Purple. Just a thought. |

I am so tempted to try this. I desperately need a new mattress. Actually DS does too. I'm tempted to buy home one and try it out  . I would not be buying him the adjustable frame, just the twin frame and twin mattress. |

I remember reading that the purple mattress sizes are a tiny bit smaller and thinner than other mattresses, but not by much. I read where sheets with extra big pockets might be too big and therefore the sheets would get lumpy. Their sheets are a stretchy knit but way too expensive. So I got those elastic clippy things, like a garter that hold your sheets in place hoping that will solve issue. And I just ordered some stretch knit sheets on Amazon for $30 for queen set. Purple claims your sheets have to fit really snug to get full effect. |

Patter , I would love to hear a review from you so far with your Purple Mattress. I desperately need a new mattress. Hubby loves it. Me, I'm not sure. I still have great aches and pains in my back and hips. He is getting better. I think my body just doesn't like memory foam at all. I know the memory foam is not on the top but it's part of the overall mattress. I need something more soft I think. But it looks like hubby wants to keep it so not sure what I will do. Maybe I still need more time to adjust. I LOVE the purple stuff on the top though. Love it. |

Thanks for popping in Patter. That is too bad you are not getting relief from the mattress. I have pain in my shoulders and hips and I'm not sure what that means for picking out a mattress. I hate the idea of going out and shopping for one but it does seem the most logical answer.

I hate the idea of going out and shopping for one but it does seem the most logical answer. I really don't know what the answer is either. Going to stores and shopping has never worked either. Laying on a bed for 5-10 minutes does nothing for me. I really have enjoyed having the purple mattress delivered to our home and just doing all of this on our own. It has been awesome. I would do that part again or sure over going store shopping. But most of the other beds you can purchase this way are memory foam only. I know those would not work for me. At least purple has their awesome polymer on top. |
