Purple Mattress Review
Check out our Purple Mattress Review. Several months ago, we were contacted by Purple Mattress and asked to promote their affordable new mattress on Facebook via kick starter. After doing some research we decided to share it with you. If you are in the market for a new mattress but can’t decide between spring or foam this is for you. It is made from hyper-elastic polymer, the newest innovative material on the market brought to you by the brand-new purple mattress!
This is the World’s First No Pressure Mattress. It supports your back like a firm mattress. It cradles your hips and shoulders like a soft mattress and offers no compromises like a “medium- firmness” mattress. So, you get the best of both worlds: firm + soft. In the past my husband likes to sleep on a hard mattress, and I like to sleep on a soft mattress, so this is truly the best of both worlds for us. He thought there was no way he would enjoy the Purple Mattress and I have really enjoyed watching him “eat his own words”. 🙂
As you saw on Facebook I took the egg test challenge with the Purple Seat Cushion (still ranks up there with one of the strangest things I have ever been asked to do as a blogger) but as a result I was offered the chance to “test” a Purple Mattress. I really wasn’t sure if this mattress would work for my family but I was excited to find out. Regardless if you are a back or a side sleep the Purple Mattress is designed for you. It offers perfect spinal alignment on both your back & side.
Most high end mattresses normally cost $5000+ (trust me I went out and compared prices) but luckily the Purple Mattress costs only $1,000+ DELIVERED to your door! What? I know – this sounds too good to be true. We actually took the test ourselves. My husband suffers with a bad back and was complaining about his hips hurting and tossed and turned all night long. Purple Mattress sent us a mattress to “test drive” and we thought – there is no way this mattress is going to make a difference in the quality of our sleep.
First of all when the Purple Mattress arrived on our front door it was HEAVY (which we took as a good sign). It took 2 adults and 2 children to move it inside the house. Using only a pair of scissors we opened up the package and then simply placed the mattress on our existing box springs. We were told to give the mattress a chance because if you were sleeping on a poor quality mattress it might take as much as a month to get your spine adjusted to the new Purple Mattress.
From Purple: You may have an adjusting period once you receive your mattress. Those who are coming from a firm mattress need to learn that the hard bed was a compromise for the good of their back alignment. Purple will take care of their alignment even better AND support it AND comfort their hips; but it may take a little time for their body to UNLEARN how to sleep with compromises. Same story, different tune for those coming to Purple from a soft mattress. They need to adjust to proper alignment AND support AND pressure relief. Their body has gotten used to some bad posture compromises while attaining some amount of sleep. Now they are compromise-free and experiencing NO PRESSURE. Their body might unlearn it all right away. But it may take a couple weeks. Still, they have time to really learn and return it if needed; no pressure.
I am so glad they told us that because it did take several weeks for my husband to feel relief. Once that adjustment period ended for him he was sleeping like a baby! No more tossing and turning and no more back pain. It has been truly unbelievable! He is in love with the new mattress and so am I. It is really life changing for us.
What we love is that Purple Mattress offers a 100 day guarantee. Sleep on your Purple Mattress for 100 nights. If you don’t love your mattress, they will pick it up and refund your money. It is easy to purchase too! You don’t have to go into a store and deal with sales guys. Simply order online and shipping is 100% free. Plus it has a great 10 year warranty too!
If you are trying to decide between a Memory Foam or Purple Mattress there is really no comparison. Here are some pros and cons though to help you decide.
Purple:
- Purple is Temperature-neutral
- Purple never develops a body indent
- Purple is made from non-toxic, food grade material
- Purple has no chemical odor
Memory Foam:
- Memory foam holds heat
- Memory foam will indent
- Memory foam contains VOCs and other chemicals
If you are in the market for a new mattress, now is a great time! You can score the Purple Mattress for $100 off! The King is on sale for $1,299, The Queen is $999.00, and the Twin XL is only $699.00!

This is very interesting! Picking the best mattress is something that I’ve been eyeing on for when I finally invest on a house (which is still years away, but hey, better be prepared) and wow. I’m impressed with this one. Their video is also very entertaining and informative (the woman did a great job delivering it!)
I’m so interested in buying this bed but because I can’t lay on it I’m skeptical. I went and sat on the chair pad at Bed Bath and Beyond. It wiggled left and right too much for me. Does this mattress feel like it wiggles left and right? Also, my husband doesn’t like the sinking feeling of a memory foam mattress because of the “sinking in” feeling. Does this bed feel like you’re slowly sinking in like a memory foam mattress does? I’m looking to get one in the next few days.
It does not wiggle and it does not sink. I was really skeptical too. It is not anything at all like the seat cushion that I did the egg test on and we haven’t slept this good since we were young! I love the money back guarantee too!
We got 2 xl twins for our king frame in case one of us loved it and one of us didn’t. 2 weeks in, I still miss my tempurapedic, but its getting better. My hubby’s back was wrecked by the tempurapedic and is now SOOO much better on Purple. Im planning on giving it a LONG trial period before deciding on my half of the bed. It does not wiggle, but gives. Its indescribable. You just have to try it! There is little to no motion transfer – which is fabulous.
So how it is now? Does it still feel good to sleep on ?
We are almost a year later and still loving it.
This product review sounds great. I haven’t tried any mattress from Purple but I think they offer nice products. I’m really picky when it comes to mattresses because I recognize sleep as very important. I’ll give this mattress a try.
I think one of the most amazing things is how it was delivered. It looks so small and then poof it turned into a mattress! We are currently paying off our mattress and we still have about 1400.00 left to pay. Wish I had known about this before we got are current one.
That is one kind of a test!
Mattress here in my country can be very expensive too but the most expensive I have seen is around $1000. The usual mattress here is just around 200 USD. Really cheap no? Well the quality is not that good compare to the Purple Mattress you have written 🙂
Sahweet! I would love it if we could actually test a bed before we committed to buying it. We have been married for 15 years this June and are already on our second mattress. Our son needs a new mattress as well so this looks like a viable option. I hope they deliver to Canada!
Wow this is great! My husband and I were just talking about getting a new mattress! I never heard of this before and think it would make a great guest room mattress as well. My grandfather is coming to visit and I was really sweating what he was going to sleep on, I may have to look into one of these!
This is so neat! I love how compact they can ship it yet it opens to be a big mattress! And this sounds like it would be a great mattress for me, I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and am currently sleeping on a 20+ yo crappy spring mattress. My lower vertebrae are fusing together and I have to sleep with a pillow under my stomach or under the side I am laying on and between my knees. This would eliminate those extra pillows for sure and allow my spine to stay in a more neutral position. Thank you for this information!!!
Did you ever purchase the Purple mattress? If so, how has your AS pain been sleeping on it? I also have AS, and have to sleep on my stomach with 2-3 pillows under me to get any sort of relief, or on my side with a pillow under my waist, and one between my knees… And even then, the relief is minimal at best.
Oh wow what a lovely mattress, I am actually in the market for a new one but most form mattress are really expensive so this is a great alternative and sounds like gives ample support
Do you need a box spring to put the mattress on?
Yes, you just place it right on your existing box springs – or you can use it without if you have a bed that doesn’t use box springs (or place it directly on the floor).
….or you can put it on a platform bed or the floor.
My next home purchase is a mattress. I am in that stage of figuring out what will be best for my husband and . Our mattress is going on ten years old this year, it’s so time. The purple mattress sounds amazing.
I just ordered my Purple Mattress. I was wondering what brand/type of mattress protector and sheets you decided to use. I noticed on the purple website they suggested something with a lot of stretch in the fabric. The SHEEZ brand they recommend was way to expensive for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So we just use our regular sheets. We purchased this mattress protector and we love it! We have it now on all of our mattresses.

I can’t wait to hear how you like it!
Hello, everything sounds great, is there no choice in the firmness ? what kind of warranty is there against sagging or collapsing that waffle foam that they used on top of it? Also, what are they using chemicals to make it fireproof like the government mandates ? I just don’t want to be disappointed in a couple of years.
No choice of firmness and we are used to a really firm mattress. It has a 10 year warranty so I think you are safe on the sagging or collapsing concerns. There was no chemical smell to it and I am highly sensitive to odors. Hope this helps you! We are really LOVING it so far. Best sleep and no back or hip pain. We both used to toss and turn all night and now we don’t.
I am trying to decide between the Purple and the Luxi mattress right now…my only concern with Purple is that some people say it is too firm and I hate firm mattresses since I always sleep on my side. How would you rate the firmness?
It is not too firm. It feels comfy when you lie down on it and then you can feel it adjust to your body if that makes sense? We were used to a really firm mattress and we were actually concerned this was going to be too soft for us and it is not. It is soooo comfy.
I am loving your head board!! Is it made out of metal. Where did you get it from?
We made it! It was so easy. I should have my hubby do a post on that 🙂
Yes, please ask hubby to post how the headboard was made — it’s lovely!
How do we get the $100 off coupon?
How do we get the $100 off coupon?
No coupon was necessary at the time this posted.
Do you think the mattress feels firm? I am nervous about buying it without testing it out first. I love that feeling when you lay down on a really comfy cozy mattress at a hotel. I’m nervous this will feel too firm/hard. What do you think?
It does not feel hard. It is really comfy and then it adjusts to your spine. Best of all they have a great money back policy! Our backs have never felt better!
Thanks for the info. Is the 100 day trial as easy as it sounds. I understand if they won’t allow returns of there are big stains or something, but I couldn’t find any specifics on their website.
We bought a special mattress pad for ours – it is $100 but keeps stains from setting.
We purchased a stain resistant mattress cover to use so we wouldn’t have an issue.
We just received our Purple and last night was night 2. When they say an adjustment period, it is real. The first night my husband slept fine, I woke up several times, we both woke up sore in the morning. It was like we had just come from the chiropractor. He has lower back pain, and it was pretty stiff. Last night we both slept well, both woke up a little sore and stiff but not as bad as the first morning and it didn’t last all day. I have read many people say after the first week your body relearns the alignment, we shall see.
Yes! My husband had a terrible time for 2 weeks. Don’t give up on the adjustment period because after we got adjusted we love it!
We are two weeks into our purple mattress and we love it! Interesting about the adjustment period because although from the first night I don’t think I moved all night, I was a little stiff on getting up. I don’t have that now. Let me tell you what sleeping used to be like. I’d be up for hours trying to fall asleep. I would toss and turn from painful hips, (I’m a side sleeper) or numb hands, and sore shoulders. I would wake several times a night in pain. I used to be so envious of how my other half could fall asleep within minutes of laying down. I also had such back trouble I went through 3 rounds of painful PRP injections with no relief. I was basically disabled with back pain. But no more.
I’m in awe of this bed. I fall asleep in minutes, no tossing and turning, at all! And no more back or hip pain. No numbness. No twitching legs. Nothing.
Now I have to say it feels a little firmer than what I’m used to but there are no pressure points and I sleep like the dead so I think it’s just something I will adjust to. There is no movement transfer either. We actually already bought another.
We bought a low profile box for one because the poster bed needed one and but for the second we got one of those high clearance metal frames from Amazon with storage space underneath. For both we added plywood because the slat sizes were more than 3″ apart and got the non skid pads to keep them in place. My other half says he wakes up in the same position and is feeling better as well.
Never thought I’d get so excited about a mattress but sleeping is now a dream! Totally worth it. With the 100 day trial you have nothing to lose. I honestly expected to try it and then move on to something else. I was that skeptical. We’ re very pleased!
I’m wondering how the newest sheets on the market (the deep pockets) will do on this bed. Most sheets are around 11in., and this is 9.5 in. Is there problem with sheets coming loose?
No problems at all! We use regular sheets on it. They should not be deep pocket (standard).
