Prior to getting this mattress, we went through two other mattresses with in an 8 year span. First one was a pillow top and the second one was a regular innerspring. The pillow top ended up being too soft and then lost it's shape with a big dip after a few years. We got the other mattress for more firmness which was nice and first then it started losing it's shape by leaving dips where we laid and creating a hump down the middle. After trying the purple mattresses in store, we fell in love with the original purple 3 which is now the hybrid premier 3 which I believe has been improved. Our 3 has been great these past 7 years without any loss in shape, no dips and looks like new still. Having this great comfort for so long and not having to purchase another mattress is what we love most.

We recently got the Purple 3 after trying the Purple original for 90 days, but my partner thought it the original Purple wasn't firm enough. (We got this as a cooler option from the Tempurpedic -- memory foam supposedly makes the sleepers run hot; I'm always cold and I even thought so.) I preferred the Purple 2 in the showroom, he preferred the 4, so our compromise was the 3. My lower back experiences pain now (similar to when we had the Tempurpedic but NOT when we had the original Purple).
I had thought my weight (< 125 lbs) wouldn't notice a difference in softer beds but I guess my hips just don't feel like there is ANY spinal support. We're not considering other options....

Buying and unboxing the mattress was a pretty easy experience, but lying on it - not so much. My boyfriend and I are both 130 - 150 pounds and we feel that this mattress is way too firm for us. We’re side sleepers and our shoulders were always sore. Even lying on my back, perfectly good pillows did not feel like they were giving any neck support (we do not have the purple pillows). The hips do sink in a bit, but not much. We’re on the hunt for a new mattress, and we’re going to end up saving money in the end, as all other mattresses that fit our goodbed profile are way cheaper than the Purple.3!

This mattress feels wonderful to sit on lie on, go to sleep on, but after a few hours I have woken up with low back pain and been unable to find a comfortable position to get back to sleep. The material from which it is made warms and sinks down everywhere for a person who is low weight like I am. It does relieve pressure points in my shoulder and hips if I have a thin mattress pad and stretchy sheets. With a thicker pad, which I put one to try to relieve back pain, my shoulder and arm become numb.
