Hello, everyone ! I am looking to buy a good mattress and some real good quality pillows since my partner and I have had some of the worst sleepless nights due to our Walmart mattress and pillows haha. I really want to get a mattress that is for side and stomach sleepers and that help me sleep ! Has anyone had experience with Purple? I am thinking of going with the cheaper route as well with a Costco mattress so if you have a Costco mattress that you’ve enjoyed for side sleepers let me know . 🤗❤️

I (was) a 2 year owner of a Purple Mattress. 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. 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. I am a combination side/stomach sleeper. 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. It all depends on how restless I am. I don't understand how people are rating this mattress a 6.5 on the firmness scale. It is a terrible mattress for stomach sleepers. The padding on the mattress top needs to be soft with SOME give to properly cradle your head as a stomach sleeper. The upper portion of this mattress is WAY too stiff. Overall the firmness may be a 6.5 out of 10, but it "feels" like a 3.5-4/10 to me.

Now onto the reason why I am giving this mattress a 1 out of 10. DURABILITY. In just over 2 short years, the underlying foam material (below the purple grid) has created a permanent body impression. This has resulted in unbelievable neck and back pain that I have been suffering with for the past month. 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.

These body impressions normally will not form until AFTER your sleep trial is over. The permanent body impression in my purple mattress did not start forming until about a year and a half later.

Another flaw in the purchasing of this mattress is that Purple recommends you rotate the mattress to avoid these same said body impressions. The flaw is...the mattress weighs 100 lbs! Very few people are going to want to rotate their 120lbs mattress every 90 days or so to prevent the impressions from forming.

Durability is a huge flaw with this mattress. The foam is prone to degradation over time and this is something you will not find out from a 100 day sleep trial. As a real long term owner of a Purple mattress I would highly advise you look elsewhere as this mattress CANNOT be trusted for durability. I am aware of the replacement warranty of the mattress itself, but I don't want to go through another cycle of endless neck pain when the replacement mattress breaks down in 2 years from now. Unless you want a big giant bowl of back pain, served with a side crinkled neck, be my guest!

The bottom line is this mattress is just a basic foam mattress that breaks down in a very short time period, with creative marketing thrown in to sell it. Its ALL about the marketing. Though the funny thing is I didn't buy it BECAUSE of the marketing, but rather my own research and wanting to try something different so go figure.
