Model 4 Purple is Junk Long-Term

The Purple brand has been a huge disappointment in the long run. My wife and I extensively tested several brands at the store and Purple seemed to edge out Tempur-pedic in terms of comfort and price. The bed was great for the first 6 months or so also. I compared it to sleeping on a waterbed without all the motion, leaks or temperature issues. The bed began sagging where we slept though and now a little over 2 years later is outright painful to sleep in. If we'd bought a junk bed for a few hundred bucks, I'd expect a 2 year lifespan. This was supposed to be a premium brand though, and we certainly paid a premium price for it. For what it's worth, my best guess as to the cause of the problem without dismantling the mattress, is that the springs underneath the actual purple material wore out. The purple material is heavy. The mattress weights a few hundred pounds and I've joked more than once that you could knock somebody out with a purple pillow. The weight of the purple gridwork plus two people is too much for springs that were already designed to allow the mattress to be delivered compressed and rolled up like a burrito. Bottom line, don't waste your money. The bed will feel fabulous at first but will wear out FAR too soon for it's price point. Purple would be better off sticking to seat cushions or mattress toppers in my opinion.
