The permanent body impression in my purple mattress did not start forming until about a year and a half later.Īnother flaw in the purchasing of this mattress is that Purple recommends you rotate the mattress to avoid these same said body impressions. These body impressions normally will not form until AFTER your sleep trial is over. This past week I finally hit my breaking point and ordered a different, more traditional innerspring mattress with a soft euro pillow top that cradles my head when sleeping on my stomach.

This has resulted in unbelievable neck and back pain that I have been suffering with for the past month. In just over 2 short years, the underlying foam material (below the purple grid) has created a permanent body impression. Now onto the reason why I am giving this mattress a 1 out of 10. Overall the firmness may be a 6.5 out of 10, but it 'feels' like a 3.5-4/10 to me. The upper portion of this mattress is WAY too stiff.

The padding on the mattress top needs to be soft with SOME give to properly cradle your head as a stomach sleeper. It is a terrible mattress for stomach sleepers. I don't understand how people are rating this mattress a 6.5 on the firmness scale. I'll usually start out on my side, then end up on my stomach eventually, or if I get into a comfortable enough position I'll stay asleep on my side. When I first bought the mattress I found that the best position to sleep in was on my side, however the 'feel' of the mattress is a little TOO FIRM to my individual body. For the pain staking 2 years I have owned the mattress I have rarely found a solid/good position I could fall asleep fast to.

I (was) a 2 year owner of a Purple Mattress.
