Excellent - Jonah

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 - Denise V

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 - Rachel E

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 - Michael C

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 - Abekar

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!!! - John J

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 - Shannon B

A gift for my pregnant daughter. She says PERFECT!!!

Does not disappoint - James L

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 - Olivia R

I love this mattress. It is now my favorite place to be. So comfy and cool all night long.

Review - Kareem E

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 - Sean L

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 - Cathy H

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 - Lana L

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! - Evan B

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 - Erin L

Slightly firm but the softness feels luxurious

Maybe I need to sleep on the bed 2 more months. - Kirk B.

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 - Bryan B

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!!! - Heather H

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 - Kathy C

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. - Harley S

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! - Brandy J

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... - Dorion C

...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 - David V

I had high expectations.... you’ve exceeded them.

Gift - Bruce A

I gifted this to someone, and they gave it the best possible rating !

My dream bed! - Amber G

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 - Jesse O

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!!! - Lester R

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 - Joanna

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 - William S

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. - Chelsea P

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 - Brandon M

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 - Angel C

This thing helped me rest on a whole nother level i will definitely buy another one when this one is of age.

Love it - Courtney A

Me and my fiancé absolutely love this mattress. We’ve slept so well since we’ve got it.

Our 2nd Purple Mattress - Diane M

Loved our Purple mattress so much we decided to allow our guests to experience this great mattress as well.

This is life changing! - Kristin D

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 - Megan H

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. - Andrew P

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! - Breck T

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 - Debra S

Feel like I'm falling out a bed wake up !with a back ache

10/10 would recommend to friend - Jaime O

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!

Bought this 2 yrs ago

Unfortunately we have returned it due to both sides sinking Leaving a huge hump in the middle

What a great bed

This bed was delivered by two men from 'manna delivery' services, they did a good job and took away all of the boxing and giant bags. It is a little taller than i thought but its not too tall for my sheets which is good. It feels a lot different than my old memory foam bed and when I called they explained what latex foam was and really opened my eyes. My back pain has gone away and also i sleep better throughout the night. i would buy this bed again

Not a good quality mattress

Tried to like this matress but it's just a poor product. Weak sides making you feel like you're sliding off edge. Hump formed in middle after a few weeks. Valleys on the sides. Almost impossible to rotate due to lack of handles / straps to hold on to. Even tried to flip it over and all the problems come back on both sides.

Like a rug on a cold floor

We like a firm mattress but this is hard and uncomfortable. Harder than the sliding diagram indicates. My husband and I had back, hip and shoulder pain after the first night. Returning it asap.

Disappointed with mattress

After seeing the bed in Costco and feeling how cool the foam was, i was convinced it was a good buy .....but....when foam is covered with fabric, then a protective pad then a sheet the bed was just as hot as my last memory foam bed and after 3 months, it is starting to get indentations in it even though we rotated it several times. I will return it to Costco.

Tried to love it but disappointed after 9 months

Believe the reviews this mattress is firm! We've had it for about 9 months and still can't get comfortable. The sides have depressions while the middle has a hump. We have rotated the bed as instructed but still does not help. My wife and I aren't big people, and we both have back aches from this mattress. We gave it a try, but unfortunately have not had a good nights sleep. We are going to return it and get something softer.

Comfortable

I have purchased 3 spring Air beds in the past, so did not hesitate to order online. Delivery was very efficient and on time even though I live 175 miles from the nearest Costco. This mattress is very comfortable from day one.

Keeps you cool. Had this for 8 months still like

The Latex is great for hot sleepers! This bed does not make me sweat like memory foam or any of pillow tops. I never ever feel hot. It is a firmer plush if that makes sense. It will soften up after about 3-4 weeks. I originally bought the Ultra Firm model but I could not take that slab of concrete and had to return it for this one. It is definitely soft on the sides and firm in the middle. If I were single I'd sleep in the middle to make the bed even. With the firmer middle it is harder to roll over and my wife doesn't try to sneak over to cuddle and steal my heat. I tried 7 other mattress's foam/spring/spring infused latex with foam tops I thought I was going to go crazy, until I found this model. I was desperate for a King size, medium firm, cool bed for $1500ish.

great mattress

great mattress. firm and had good nights sleep from day one. the delivery service was efficient and courteous. they arrived in the time frame that was give and took away all cartons and papers. would recommend this product .

Disappointing quality

The consistency of the foam is uneven, hard in middle too soft on sides. Makes you feel like your tilting towards outer edge when laying on back. Seems also to have broke down to a lumpy feel after six months use. Very difficult to change positions as it leaves you feeling like your trying to roll out of a hole. Made my good back hurt. Can't sleep on this mattress any longer, returning.

great choice

There was an error in shipping by delivering the wrong foundation, so we had to use our old one, which made the mattress seem soft,but still very comfortable. After using the correct foundation there was a distinct improvement in the firmness,this is the best i have slept in along time especially having physical issues.I recommend you use the right foundation. We are very happy with this, also read the rotating instructions.

Soft as a cloud with NO support

Way too soft! You sink right in and it's comfortable at first. But when I wake in the morning I have a terrible lower back ache due to lack of support. I'm a side sleeper and this mattress does not have proper support to keep my spine aligned. This is suppose to be a Latex bed, so I don't know why they add junkie memory foam to the top layer which only makes it hotter and does not breath, completely defeating the advantages of Latex breath-ability and cool sleeping surface.

Firm - Not 'Plush'

When I saw this mattress advertised as plush I figured it would be very soft. That is not the case. This mattress is quite firm. It is probably fine for a back sleeper, but I sleep on my side and it's terrible. After the 3rd night I couldn't take any more and put an old memory foam topper on it. As soon as the replacement mattress arrives this one will be heading back to the warehouse.

Sorry , not happy at all

I was especially interested in getting away from springs and trying the Latex. Unfortuneately, it was a big dissapointment. It seened lifeless, like sleeping on a bag of soft beans. It definitely was not like a cloud. The positive reviews on a similar Spring Aire latex matress are astonishing to me

I love this bed!

I have to say, I was a little hesitant on purchasing this after reading the last review but I must say this was one of the best desicions I have made in a long time. This mattress is sooo cushiony and comfortable. For the first time in a long time, my husband and I have actually been sleeping through the night!

Excellent Bed

We have had this bed for about a month. From the first night, neither my husband or I wake up with sore/stiff backs. We bought our previous bed from Costco and were hesitant thinking we should go to a mattress store. We are so glad we went with this bed. I prefer a softer bed and my husband prefers a firmer bed. While this bed is firmer than I expected, it doesn't effect the sleep we are getting. We also didn't notice a smell. The manufacturer said to let the bed air out but we didn't need to. Hopefully this will continue to be a great bed! We have struggled over the years, trying less expensive options. This is worth every penny.

Good nights, happy days!

We were on the hunt for a good mattress, but did not want memory foam. The options are limited. After doing some research we ordered the Spring Air Firm mattress. It was too hard. I contacted Costco.com they arranged for pickup (free) of the other mattress and provided a refund. We then chose this mattress. It is still firm, but not hard. Its supportive and comfortable. Shipping was included in the price from Costco.com, and we had no issues with setting it up. My husband is also very pleased with it.

Stone

One word: stone. This bed is soooooo hard and not plush at all. I'm a loyal Costco shopper, but this product is a total fail. It will be going back for sure.

Not what you expect

For over 50 years I have slept on Beauty Rest two sided Cal King mattresses. Beauty Rest, like so many other manufacturers, stopped making two sided or flippable mattresses. Spring Air is listed as one of the few still making these mattresses and based on the reviews I decided to order one. The order was for an Extra Firm mattress which was placed in early March, manufactured on March 30th and finally delivered on April 23rd. Looking forward to a great nights sleep we placed a freshly washed cotton mattress cover on the new mattress along with fresh sheets and a blanket. The first thing that we both noticed was that the edge of the bed sagged when sat on and no we are not obesely over weight. I am 230 and my wife is 160 pounds. Our old mattress did not sag like this. The next problem we found that when either of us turned to a different sleeping position the whole mattress seemed to jiggle and disturb the other sleeper. Again our old mattress did not do this. My wife also felt that the tuft cover finish on both sides of the mattress felt lumpy. In the morning we discussed these issues and decided to put the old mattress back on the foundation and order a custom made mattress from a local mattress maker. I will try to sell this mattress and at a great loss. This has been a waste of time and money and was over all a bad experience. Do not buy this mattress until you can actually sit on it and lay down on it. We didn't have that option.

Spring Air

I bought a Spring Air from Sears in 1996 which I am still using without a problem, and it looks brand new underneath the mattress pad. I just think I might get this same brand, if possible, since after this many years I see that it has more than twice outlived the usual lifespan of a mattress.

Comfortable as long as no one is moving.

Feel the movement of others too much. Mattress is comfy.

hip and shoulder pain

advised to get this mattress for side sleepers with hip and shoulder pain. It did not improve my pain as i had hoped. I had to further purchase a mattress topper separately which did help to decrease my discomfort.

***Avoid at all costs!!! Can't last a year before it has 5+ inch divets. Thats on two different mattresses!***

I have had the displeasure of owning two different Spring Air mattresses. The first one was turned into my local furniture store for warranty after only a year and 3 months with 5+ inch divots. I'm not a large person at 6'4" 200lbs. There is no excuse for this poor quality on two separate mattresses. My retail furniture shop stopped carrying them from what I can only assume is liability and the fact they are more hassle than they are worth. So now Spring Air expects me to load up the mattress in a truck and drive 7 hours just so they can repair/replace it. They don't really stand by their warranty.

avoid buying this product

warranty means nothing have a almost 2in.impression and it does not qualify for replacement also do not shop at Metro Matteress they scam you too

WARNING Buy at your own risk

I got one a week ago made by spring air, I slept on it the first night, got so sick in the middle of the night from the fumes. It emits VOC fumes from the foam they make. They wont do anything except offer for me to take it to Springfield Il or place I bought it from and get another one of the chemical hazards. I said I will not and I will check my options, and I am doing just that. I'm trying to be nice but they weren't willing to do anyhting. I had a mess of last week trying to sleep on a couch at 77 years old
