“Purple Restore Premier Soft - 644782 (NO support whatsoever!)”

• The Restore Premier Hybrid Soft model from the Purple Restore Hybrid line by Purple

Posted by Kari from Azle, TX on July 1, 2024

We had the Purple 4 which was defective, but the areas that weren’t sinking had good support and were comfortable. I loved the bounce and general feel of the mattress. This Premier soft came with more than 1” of sinkage. You fall in a hole. Imagine laying in a hammock. … →

“Purple Hybrid - 635886 (Model 4 Purple is Junk Long-Term)”

• The Purple Hybrid line by Purple

Posted by Robert from Signal Mountain, TN on February 13, 2024

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 … →

Posted by Rick S from Las Vegas, NV on November 5, 2023

We had owned this bed before a fire trashed our whole house. Then to go for a year on an air bed was tough, never slept as well as on our Purple! Took almost a year to get back in the house and we are so thankful for getting our … →

“Purple Restore Plus Soft - 670049 (excellent choice for back and hip support)”

• The Restore Plus Hybrid Soft model from the Purple Restore Hybrid line by Purple

Posted by Joe from Cape Coral, FL on September 14, 2025

I have woken up with less back and hip pain with this Restore Plus Cool than with my previous Saatava Loom & Leaf. Sleeps cool. Takes time to adjust to this mattress, don't give up it's worth it. →

• The Purple brand

Posted by Ophelia o from San Antonio, TX on July 7, 2025

My wife and I were assisted by Diego Corrales at Denver Mattress co. I was impressed with his knowledge of each bed on site that he had us try out. Loved that he didn't pressure us to buy the most expensive mattress. We were able to purchase the Restore firm … →

“Technogel Estasi - 200423 (Beyond exceeded my expectations!)”

• The Estasi model by Technogel

Posted by Avery B from Whitehorse, YT on October 27, 2017

The best sleep I’ve ever had. I’m so happy we have invested in a mattress that makes me look forward to going to bed and sleeping. We originally fell in love with the pillows and it’s hard to sleep without them when travelling ect. We are so happy we have … →

“Purple Original - 388318 (DO NOT BUY PURPLE MATTRESS!)”

• The Purple Original model by Purple

Posted by John from Palmdale, CA on July 20, 2019

I bought a purple mattress in 2017. For the first year, the mattress was perfect (I also got purple platform base, purple sheets, purple pillow, purple EVERYTHING). Then it started to develop permanent sagging spots. By the second year, the sagging spots got so bad that I ended up with … →

• The Purple Hybrid Premier 3 model by Purple

Posted by Liz from San Francisco, CA on October 26, 2019

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 … →

“Purple Hybrid Premier 4 (f.k.a. Purple.4) - 342619 (The cable company of mattresses)”

• The Purple Hybrid Premier 4 model by Purple

Posted by David from Portland, OR on January 4, 2019

Do not buy anything from Purple. The mattress is not comfortable for starters. It also weighs 200 pounds so moving it by yourself is impossible. But it is the company itself that is truly horrible. They could be rude, dismissive, and incompetent. They made returning the mattress very difficult compared … →

“Technogel Estasi - 220325 (The mattress almost immediately showed a softness on the ...)”

• The Estasi model by Technogel
• Purchased from Sit n Sleep (Agoura Hills, CA)

Posted by Art H from Calabasas, CA on December 27, 2017

The mattress almost immediately showed a softness on the sides as if there was little to no support while sitting on it. Also, an indentation in the middle of the bed occurred after several weeks. It took no time at all for me to experience leg and back pain on … →

“Purple Original - 366800 (Weird but comfortable.)”

• The Purple Original model by Purple

Posted by Ismae from West Springfield, MA on April 6, 2019

Pros: works as advertise the relief of pressure points. Much better than my previous regular spring mattress. Specially for side and back support. Cons: it do get the sinking or saggy where you sleep. Good thing is not as bad as regular mattresses. →

“Technogel Estasi - 539982 (This mattress does not keep cool AT ALL.)”

• The Estasi model by Technogel

Posted by Robbie from Studio City, CA on August 1, 2021

This mattress is a huge disappointment. In addition to the support I wanted, the goal was to help keep me cooler at night. In in fact does the opposite. The longer you sleep in one place, the gel retains the heat and it feels like you are sleeping on a … →

“Purple - 608039 (Best mattress I've ever had!)”

• The Purple brand

Posted by Denny from Parker, CO on March 12, 2023

Bought my Purple 3 mattress from Denver Mattress in Lonetree, CO. Steve provided me with an excellent and professional sales experience and guided me through the selection process based on my own sleep habits and preferences. With his help I settled on a Purple 3. Now, after sleeping on this … →

Posted by Shaena from Clarksville, TN on September 13, 2017

I purchased the mattress and it arrives on May 8th of this year. I was in incredible pain for the first month using the mattress. It is recommended to try sleeping on the mattress for a few weeks before really forming your opinion of it, since memory foam is something … →

Posted by Nancy from Washington, VA on October 23, 2018

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 … →

• The Purple Hybrid Premier 3 model by Purple

Posted by Molly from Renton, WA on May 17, 2019

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 … →

“Purple Hybrid (f.k.a. Purple.2) - 409945 (Terrible Customer Service)”

• The Purple Hybrid model by Purple

Posted by Robert from Colorado Springs, CO on October 30, 2019

This isn't about the bed so much as it's about the value and the customer service experience. I purchased one of these mattresses last year, and then donated it when I moved to another state. I decided - big mistake - to purchase another one. The delivery process was opaque … →

• The Purple Hybrid model by Purple

Posted by Jerry from Fort Lauderdale, FL on September 21, 2019

After watching 2 different review sources on youtube (Goodbed and "The slumber yard") I decided I needed to try out this bed myself. Previously I had been sleeping on an innerspring mattress and before that, I had memory foam. I hated the sensation of memory foam but felt that innerspring … →

Turns out this mattress Lost support just like every other mattress...Great when we first got it, now it’s concave where we sleep.

Posted by Dawn from Los Angeles, CA on December 28, 2022

Thinking you get what you pay for ... we decided to purchase a split king for an adjustable base. In the store we were give a very convincing sales pitch. We tried it out and it seemed promising, plus the trial period was a bonus at least we thought. However, … →

Posted by Paul from Annandale, VA on August 4, 2016

This mattress completely met all our expectations. We were a little hesitant at first to buy a mattress online, but the experience was great! We may never buy a mattress in a store again. I have really bad back pain from years of working out (probably using bad form) and … →

Posted by Ulieli from Salt Lake City, UT on June 15, 2023

Posted by Louise from Lorraine, QC on March 4, 2017

We were just about to purchase a regular type of mattress with an European top so I would not suffer from pressure points on my hip. And then tried the Technogel Estasi, we were then convinced about it's comfort and quality. I wish we could have bough the Vivo (top … →

Posted by Chad from Madison, WI on December 28, 2018

I have owned the purple mattress for a little over a year. It is permanently swayed, both on my side (210 lbs.) and my wife's side (110 lbs.). There are limited options for rotating this mattress, so there's no way to even it out. We also purchased the purple bed … →

“Purple - 499815 (DO YOUR RESEARCH)”

• The Purple brand
• Purchased from Purple

Posted by Clifford from Chico, CA on December 14, 2020

The Purple technology is very different. I found it worse than temperpedic in how it is difficult to roll over or change positions. Does not seem like it will hold up very well. The return policy at the mattress store was very expensive. →

• The Beloit Mattress brand

Posted by Monique from Grosse Pointe, MI on August 19, 2020

The Beloit Mattress Topper is marketed as a College Dorm must-have. That said, with less than 3 years of use, the mattress topper did not hold up to its name. When the Beloit mattress topper arrived, it was absolutely gorgeous: American made, quality stitching, attention to detail. I felt quite … →

Posted by Tony from Fort Myers, FL on October 1, 2017

Don't care if the egg survived - my back/hips are not an egg and this mattress does not live up to the hype. The "purple" grid is too thick to provide ANY type of support and is as hard as a rock :-( →

Posted by LD from Pasadena, CA on January 2, 2020

I had high hopes for the Purple. I was particularly interested because of the claims that it sleeps cooler. I have a Puffy and a Purple. The Puffy wins hands down. The motion transfer on the Purple is HORRIBLE. I do admit it does sleep cooler and that is the … →
