I've been sleeping on a base model purple for the last 3 years and it's been ok. It already seems to have a lower spot on one side though. I loved it the 1st few months but now it doesn't seem to cradle as well as it did and I will get some lower back ache. (I have a bulged disc that flairs up sometimes)

Long story short. I'm in the middle if a break up and she is taking the mattress so she doesn't have to buy anything new.

That leaves me looking for a new queen size mattress.

I am eyeballing a tempurpedic. I like the way a soft cradles but am afraid it might get a soft spot like the purple did or other cheap ones I've had in the past. With the cost of it that would suck.

To get the soft mattress you can't go with their cheaper base model. It's the proadopt version which is 2700 compared to purple at 1100.

Has anyone compared the 2 personally ?

Trying to take advantage of the memorial day sale.

We bought a Purple 4 four years ago. At the time, it was their best mattress, according to the salesperson. It began to sag at least a year ago, and now it is uncomfortable and does nothing to remedy my spouse's back pain.

We are considering either a Sleep Number or Tempur-pedic for replacement, but we have to wait a while because of the high cost of both mattresses.

In the meantime, we are shopping for a topper. Any recommendations for someone with chronic back and hip pain with radiculopathy into the feet and neuropathy?

And, does anyone have opinions, advice, etc on Sleep Number versus Tempur-pedic?

TIA!
