Best choice ever!
I was a little hesitant in buying this mattress not knowing how it would feel. But I went for it and am now recovering and sleeping the best I ever had! It’s a must buy!

Mattress and pillows
We can’t say enough good things about our purchase! We both sleep great. And best part...no more lower back pain for me.
Finally!
Absolute best mattress and pillows I’ve ever experienced (68 years)
Love my new mattress!
I was a little skeptical at first, because it came in a box. Don’t be fool. Best decision ever. Set Up: Super easy. Be careful when cutting the bag so that you don’t cut the mattress. I just wished it gave a hint as to “this side up.” Support and Comfort: Right Firmness. The mattress targets certain pressure points on the body. I did an 18-mile run, laid in my bed and noticed how relaxed my feet were. My recovery time was seamless. Cost: It is pricey, but it is so worth it if your workouts are intense throughout the week. There is an option to purchase the mattress through credit and pay it off by installments Sleeping pattern: Wow! I have been able to sleep my full 7-hrs. Rest is key.
Great sleep
I have to say was very sceptical but it has been awesome
Amazing Sleep
It had been at least 12-years since I’d purchased new mattress, so looking for a new with all these different types of mattresses was going to be tough! After extensive research and reading reviews; I bought my performasleep King mattress! Well needless to say it didn’t disappoint. Great mattress and from the moment I laid on it; I felt my body just starting mold into the mattress with all support it needed still!
Game changer!
This mattress has brought sanity and sweet, sweet slumber to our lives. We feel the need and urge to tell all our family and friends about it. It has been a blessing for sure!
Wonderful sleep cloud
I haven't felt so happy about going to sleep before my matress arrived. Help my lower back pain significantly. Very happy.
Performasleepski
Absolutely the best sleep I’ve had in my life, through my marine corps career and now a veteran with back shoulder knee and other problems I’ve found a bed at least for now which satisfies my needs. Excellent job.
Best bed!
I love this bed. Such better sleep at night. I should have gotten pillows to match!
Amazing Product
I've been sleeping on my queen size mattress for a week now and have been extremely happy. I wake up well rested and feel refreshed. The perfect combination of firmness and comfort. Great bed!
Mattress
The mattress has changed the quality of sleep for both me and my life. We both feel like we have better quality sleep
Two weeks in
I bought this with some skepticism because of all of the differing models out there. I have used this for two weeks now and its great. It shows me just how much I needed a new mattress. Getting great sleep and not waking up with a sore lower back anymore. Worth the investment . JH
Still waiting for delivery
Cannot until it arrives
Excellent
Best night's sleep in years!!!
Sleeps cool!
First time sleeping in a foam mattress. I thought it would feel mushy and hot. But its actually comfortably firm but not too firm and not too squishy. I also thought it would be hot. It feels comfortable. It doesnt get too hot or too cold. Back feels better too!
So far so good
We've been sleeping on the mattress for about a week now and if it holds it's current firmness I will be very pleased with it. It's a really good combination of softness and firmness.
Great products and great service!
Great products and great service!
The best
Extremelly happy with my new mattress. So comfortable and no back pain. Love it!
Great support
I had problem with my old mattress and would wake up with lower back pain all the time. This mattress fixes that problem. I’ve been sleeping great since I’ve bought it and have not been nearly as tired in the morning when I wake up
AH-MAZING
We were on a search for a decent bed that was affordable for a good year. It came down to choosing a box mattress but it's so difficult choosing a brand! Ultimately we choose this mattress because my wife competes in Crossfit competitions and Spartan races and she liked the idea of a mattress to play a role in her recovery. We are now both sleeping better at night with no tossing and turning and seem to wake up more rested.
Never Slept Better
Thank you for making an affordable quality mattress! Worth Every Penny!
So Far So Good....
I have had the bed for a couple of weeks and it has preformed as advertised.....and I am very happy with the purchase. I have had no lower back pain that I used to have after sleeping on my old conventional mattress.
Best Sleep Ever
I’ve never slept Harder or Better on this thing! I used to snooze for hour or two every morning, now I’m rested, rejuvenated and excited to get up at my first alarm and get to my morning workout.
We love this mattress. It
We love this mattress. It shipped quickly, easily set up, and sleeps great. Highly recommend!
So far so good
We received our Performa sleep mattress a couple weeks ago and so far we are in love!!
Dreaming Again.
Been sleeping on a king size for a week now, I’m a severe Sleep Apnea case and haven’t had a dream I could remember without wearing a CPAP for a very long time. That changed last week when I got a Performa...I’ve constantly woke up this week and remembered having vivid dreams. It’s kind of nice knowing I’m actually falling into a state of better rest. Getting back to training this month and can’t wait to see the improvement while recovering through better sleep. Seriously, considering a purchase of the pillows offered.
Luxurious!
This is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on in my life. I lie down and don't want to move. This is the only bed I've ever been able to sleep on on my back. It is definitely cool. My fitted sheet feels almost cold to the touch. I haven't gotten overheated at all. I was able to carry the box to my bedroom and unpack it myself (full size) Such cool packaging! I did that in the afternoon and it was perfect at bedtime.
Best night sleep ever!
Noticed a big difference in my sleep the first night we got the mattress. Didn't wake up once during the night and the copper infused pad helped keep me cool all night. Can't imagine sleeping on another mattress.
It’s about time!!
For years I’ve had trouble sleeping and waking up feeling rested in the morning. I’ve been sleeping on my new PerformaSleep mattress for 9 days and I’ve already seen a drastic improvement. I wake up much more rested and without back pain. It’s been years since I’ve felt this good. Thank you PerformaSleep for an incredible product.
The Best
Bought a Queen mattress a year ago and had to buy a king because we just needed that much more amazing!
Very Comfortable Mattrewss
The mattress arrived very quickly and was a snap to set up. It is extremely comfortable. I am glad I made this purchase.
Best sleep in 5 years
I purchased this bed based on reviews and not sleeping well along with waking up sore because of a crappy mattress. Now that my body has become used to the performa sleep mattress I sleep great and wake up feeling rested and never sore. Also, it was incredibly easy to unpackage and start using.
Great Product!
What a great bed! It exceeded my expectations!
Awesome!
After the first night I wondered why I had waited so long to switch to PerformaSleep! I have spent my adult life with back pain and pain in my hips from sleeping, since I've had my PerformaSleep mattress I've been pain free. I expected an adjustment period because I've spend my whole life on a traditional style spring mattress but I had zero issues adjusting and from my first night I've been sleeping better than I have for years!! And customer service, top notch. They responded to an email within hours, on the weekend!! Thank you PerformaSleep, I recommend you to everybody that will listen!!
So Far So Good
Have had this mattress for a two weeks now and no complaints. I'm actually getting less hours of sleep but waking up more fresh. I feel it's definitely helped my recovery also.
Amazing just amazing!!!
Love my new mattress and let’s not forget the pillows!!! Best pillows ever!!! You guys are the best, you really care about your product and making you customers happy!!! 100% recommended... I’ll definitely change all the mattresses in my house...
Comfortable and supportive
This is not a super soft pillow top mattress. This is a mattress for an active individual, it is firm allow your muscles the time need to relax and recover. If you are used to a softer bed give this mattress a few week and you will feel the difference. Great Mattress!
Happy with my new bed
Happy with my new bed
Amazing!!
I received the pillow first, and my boyfriend instantly fell in love with it. A few days later the mattress came, and I haven’t slept this great since I can remember. It’s truly amazing. Oh and my dog and my boyfriend fight over the pillow. We definitely are very pleased with our purchase!

Excellent
I read and watched multiple reviews and was a little skeptical about if this mattress would be a good fit for me. I decided to give it a try, and am so happy with my decision. I have only been able to sleep on it a few nights, so I can't speak to long term satisfaction, but just the feel of the mattress is so unique and comfortable. Every time I pass by my bed now, I can't help but flop on it and lay there for a few minutes. If you are on the fence about trying the mattress, I would say go for it for sure. The only disadvantage that I've noticed so far is that it is near impossible to get out of bed in the morning. I was a few minutes late to work the last few mornings because I did not want to leave my bed. When I was reading all the reviews, I heard that purple fluffs up their review page to make their mattress look better. After trying this mattress, I do not believe that is true. I believe that people genuinely love the product and want to share it with other people. I am not typically one to go out of my way to write a review, but this product is incredible so I felt compelled to do so. Obviously everyone is different so you may not have the same experience I have had, but if you are on the fence and looking for a great mattress, give Purple a try.

Ok Experience
It’s been an OK experience. We had a very old mattress so when our Purple mattress arrived and we tested it out the difference was big. The major good thing is that I don’t feel my husband moving and turning around anymore. That’s great! But other than that I can’t really say it’s an “out of this world, amazing mattress”. We were also disappointed cause we bought it just before thanksgiving and we asked them to check if a Black Friday sale was going to take place. No one could inform us anything so we went ahead and bought it with the current sale. We were very disappointed to find out on Thanksgiving Day that the sale at that time was the free Purple Blanket + $100 discount. We called and they couldn’t honor us that so that was a bummer.
Not enough give
I don't know when we purchased this mattress. I think if I were a back sleeper, it might be good, but I sleep on my side. This mattress does not allow enough give at the hips (contrary to pictures showing the spine in perfect alignment). So, my waist is pulled downward causing discomfort and constant shifting and readjusting. I think I slept better on my 20 year old mattress. I actually hope we can return this mattress and get something else. Would hate to have a mattress that we paid hard earned money for and can't stand to sleep on.
Nice Matress
Every morning my wife and I would wake up with back ache's from our old mattress. From asking around my chiropractor said many of his clients had tried the purple mattress and really liked it. We decided to purchase one and it is great. Nice and firm. We sleep much better at night and feel great in the mornings now.
terrible
terrible experience bought purple products some showed up, some didn't and purple customer service sucks they don't reply and have been no help what so ever. terrible experience.
Very Comfy!!!
We have not noticed a difference in back pain just yet but we do notice we don’t want to get out of bed in the morning due to the mattress being so comfy.
Perfect
A gift for my pregnant daughter. She says PERFECT!!!
Does not disappoint
Once I got a few adjustments from my chiropractor and slept on my new purple mattress I haven’t had any back problems since. I’m very satisfied with my results.
SO COMFY
I love this mattress. It is now my favorite place to be. So comfy and cool all night long.
Review
I’m a big fan of everything but the bed. I love the pillow, the sheets, the driving cushion. 10/10 for those. The mattress is terrible. No matter which way I sleep I’m always waking up with lower back pain and I never realized it was the mattress until I started sleeping in hotels and waking up pain free. It’s 1000% the mattress :(
Not all it’s cracked up to be
I am not going to buy purple products again. I got the mattress which was advertised as being long lasting but after a few months it has obviously gotten worn in. It started to feel like crinkled plastic after less than 3 months and I thought about returning it but got lazy about it. We also got the purple mattress cover but the first time the baby wet the bed it went right through the cover. Mattress cover useless. The bed stand commercial shows sumo wrestlers fighting on the platform, but when mine showed up the holes were drilled in the wrong places by about a 1/4” which made it extremely hard to put together and 6 months later the metal bangs from warping and being pushed around by my weight. I spent a lot on this bed and all the great features advertised were hype and lies.
So comfortable
After hauling this heavy thing up two flights of stairs, my back was killing me. I unpacked the mattress, laid down, and within 5 min, my back was feeling great! I have had the Purple mattress now for more than 2 weeks, and I’ve had wonderful sleep and zero back pain. I need a firm mattress for my lower back, but as I’ve gotten older, a traditional firm mattress hurts my shoulders and hips. The Purple supports my back while it forgives my pointy bits. I love it! Can’t recommend it enough!
Still deciding
I am still deciding I fall asleep well but have been waking up with back pain pretty intense not sure if it’s the mattress or what yet
A great night's sleep!
I'd had my old mattress for 15 years, and knew I needed an upgrade. I compared over a dozen different mattresses before going with Purple - the reason I selected Purple was because of its new and unique technology. I'm so glad I went with it - it's so supportive and comfortable. My partner had trouble adjusting (side sleeper), but after about a week, he is well-adjusted and sleeps like a rock! The only issue I had is that the queen-sized mattress is definitely more than 100 lbs, but on the site, it's advertised as being less than 100. It was *extremely* heavy, and difficult to move once it's out of the case, but its level of comfort and support makes up for it all.
Purple review
Slightly firm but the softness feels luxurious
Maybe I need to sleep on the bed 2 more months.
Every morning my back is sore. The pain is about 8 of 10. An hour after I am up and moving around the pain disapates. I think I may need to add 200 lbs of weights during the day, to take some of the firmness out of the mattress.
Best bed purchase ever
I can’t reqlly say more than this bed is amazing. I have had it for two weeks now and sleep better than I ever had before
Amazing bed and customer service!!!
This is my second bed with purple and both times I have been more than pleased. I’ve never slept on a more comfortable bed or dealt with better customer service!!
Sleep like an angel in the clouds
I have multiple back issues including stenosis and bulging discs as well as osteoarthritis. By far the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I look forward to going to bed at night. It is now my haven. From couch potato to purple potato :)
Pretty upsetting.
I wish that I could write a review on the item that was suppose to be here last week but I haven’t received it yet. When I emailed purple they took almost a week to get back to me with a ****** nonsense answer that they ran out of material and would need another 1-3 weeks to make my mattress then they would have it shipped. I’m 8 months pregnant and sleeping on an air mattress because they ran out of material. Don’t ever buy from this company. You will be waiting months to receive your product with no communication from the actual company!!!
Purple rules all!
I love the color purple anyway but this mattress has changed my life! The best sleep I have had in 10 years! I'm getting them for the entire house!
It’s only been a week...
...but so far it’s been great. A mattress is a long term relationship though so what really matters is how I feel after a few months. So far I really do love it, but I was sleeping on garbage before. Trust me, I’ll edit this review later if my opinion changes.
Expectations Exceeded
I had high expectations.... you’ve exceeded them.
Gift
I gifted this to someone, and they gave it the best possible rating !
My dream bed!
Within 2 days of sleeping on this bed my neck and back pain was non-exsistent. I could sleep for 5 hours and wake up refreshed. It's been a month now and I am soo happy with my purchase..
Not Worth The Money
I wanted to support a local Utah company and was so excited to receive this mattress but this was a huge mistake. The quality of this mattress felt like a blow-up mattress that should cost a fraction of the price. For me (skinny guy sleeping on his stomach) it was just uncomfortable and felt weird. To be fair I've heard others say they bought it and like it but for me it was laughable to see what I received for $1200. I also bought the purple mattress protector and it feels like plastic compared to my previous one. Be careful because they won't refund the mattress protectors so I wasted about $70. Buyers beware!
Sleep finally restored!!!
I can’t believe how awesome this bed is! I did lots and lots of research and decided to get the Purple bed and I’m so happy I did! I have never slept better! Super happy with the bed!
Not impressed
First off, the king sized mattress does not fit on our king sized bed frame. It hangs off the foot of the bed and the slats show on the sides. Ridiculous. Never had this issue with any other bed. The waffle pattern feel isn't exactly soft and comfy either. Still we gave it a try to see if we got amazing sleep. It wasn't for us. I thought the returns process would be simple like Casper's. I called and the wait was long so they called back. Then instead of processing the return then and there like Casper did, I had to get an email and submit a return form. And then we'll see how the rest of the process goes. Also note that when you buy the mattress there is usually a free promo item. When you return the mattress, you cannot return the item so you are charged full price. There should be a note when you select the promo item to remind customers of this fact. I would have selected no gift. But I guess by being shady, Purple ensures if you hate the mattress, at least they sold you $130 sheets.
Amazed
Let me start by saying WOW. I have been sleeping on a Nectar mattress for a while. Every morning I would wake up to lower back pain that would go away after 30 minutes. I blamed this on being 51. The first night sleeping on the Purple I woke with no back pain. My wife had back surgery 2 and 1/2 years ago she says this is a game changer. My only regret is not ordering this sooner and not ordering the pillow. PSA the sheets are also amazing.
Hands down the best mattress.
Hands down the best mattress. If Purple contacted me and said I needed to pay $300 more to keep the mattress I would rather pay it than give it up. The best investment and purchase I’ve ever made. My partner says the same thing!!
Great Sleep
I work 2 jobs, about 55 hours a week, and am on my feet 95% of that time. had lots of trouble sleeping thru the night until the Purple mattress came along. in 3 weeks, i have slept amazing. even slept thru my alarm 4 times!
The best mattress i've slept on period
This thing helped me rest on a whole nother level i will definitely buy another one when this one is of age.
Love it
Me and my fiancé absolutely love this mattress. We’ve slept so well since we’ve got it.
Our 2nd Purple Mattress
Loved our Purple mattress so much we decided to allow our guests to experience this great mattress as well.
This is life changing!
This mattress is absolutely life changing! I suffered back pain and haven’t slept well in years! The purple mattres has changed my life. I sleep like a baby and have no back pain at all!
Seriously good sleep
I was definitely skeptical about buying a mattress online, but with the return policy I figured I would try it. Best idea ever! I’m such a light sleeper, and I no longer get woken up when my husband is restless or the cats are jumping all around. Plus, it’s so comfortable!
Mattress is unique, but nice. Trying to do an exchange has been well...trying.
I got the wrong size mattress and while I appreciate their willingness to do an exchange, the process has been liborious. The product itself is quite nice for the price. Thank you.
Fixed all of my sleeping issues!
I’m a prominent side sleeper and was consistently waking up with shoulder and back pain. This new mattress solved those issues the first night I slept on it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Bad
Feel like I'm falling out a bed wake up !with a back ache
10/10 would recommend to friend
This mattress is perfect. My wife and I both used to gravitate toward the center of our old mattress, where it caved in, and wind up fighting about which of us was on the other's side more. This isn't a problem anymore! We like sleeping together again! She even hooked up the TV in the bedroom! We're never leaving this bed. Seriously, it's great. It isn't hot. We can't feel each other move at night, which is good for my wife because I move around more than two pigs fighting under a blanket at night and now I get yelled at a lot less on the whole. Money well spent!
