First off I am a disabled veteran with insomnia back neck and head problems. I am also overweight (6' 280lb) because I am not capable of working out due to some of these problems. I also suffer from lack of sleep because of the pain induced when I laid down to sleep. I might get 2 hours of sleep a night if I was lucky due to the pain keeping me awake laying there the rest of the time. I have tried numerous beds including the Sleep Number, Tempur-pedic, Memory foam, and high quality pillow top spring mattresses to try to get some sleep but none of them worked. I received my Purple Mattress yesterday and my fiance and I set it up. I was actually hurting more than usual because the thing is so heavy so moving it around was not easy. Yes I should have gotten a friend to help but like most military vets I am stubborn. Anyway last night I was exhausted as usual and instead of forcing myself to stay up because I didn't want the pain of sleep yet I went to bed at 1950. It felt amazing like I was laying there like I had before Afghanistan. I was asleep before 2000. I woke up once in the middle of the night, I think out of habit scanned the room to make sure everything was good including my fiance that I didn't feel get into the bed so it didn't wake me up which is crazy, then went right back to sleep. I woke up and looked at my phone for the time, it said 0515...... I was shocked.... I was not hurting.... I slept for 9 hours..... I stood up and still did not hurt. There is a little stiffness but that is it. I fed the cat and came in here to write this review. Thank you Purple for giving me some of my sanity, sleep, and life back. I bought the King size Purple Bed, Purple Platform Base, Purple Pillow, Purple Mattress Protector, Purple Sheets (slate gray), and the Purple Seat Cushion. That sounds like a large amount but, when you get it, you wish there was more ways you could fit Purple Comfort items into your life because they bring your comfort level to a new high whenever you use them.
