Good for Back Sleepers, HORRIBLE for side sleepers
I have never wanted to like something so much in my life. Purple comes compressed in a tube (over 150 lbs for the king) and immediately expands when you cut it open. There is no smell and the comfort grid seems soft when your first sit on it. When you lie on your back you can feel the pressure being lifted away and it feels like your floating. All this being said, I don't sleep on my back. I am a side sleeper which is clearly not who this mattress is intended for. Maybe I am simply too light for it but the medium firm/firm mattress left me with aches and pains. It has gotten progressively worse the more I sleep on it to the point where I have been waking up with dead arms and severe neck/back pain, as has my boyfriend. In addition to all this both my boyfriend and I have consistent on-and-off headaches which started around the time our new mattress was delivered. For the sake of comparison I am 5'5"/135 lbs and my boyfriend is 6'/180 lbs. I would not recommend this mattress if you are a side sleeper. If you sleep on your back you'll love it. Disclaimer: I purchased the mattress straight from the manufacturer, but I feel Amazon is a better place for an honest review.
