@@tiffanyhoward881 Yes, along with the pillow. Love it, ferm and soft. Very comfortable feeling. I actually remember my dreams now which is odd but it is a great nights sleep.
I owned the Original Purple Mattress for a few weeks and then had to return it. It felt great in the beginning, but the foam seems to be its Achilles' heel. I weigh probably close to 300 lbs. and the foam just didn't hold up under my weight. The structural integrity on one side of the mattress was pretty much gone after a few weeks. If I rolled from the side of the bed I didn't normally sleep on to the side I normally slept on, it was like rolling down a hill. Now don't get me wrong -- I still like their hyper-elastic polymer. But I think I understand why they went with pocketed coils for their newer mattresses. I'm sure those mattresses hold up far better to heavier people like me. Unfortunately, they're also very expensive. So I ended up going with an even swap at Mattress Firm for a Kingsdown Passions mattress (discounted from its normal $1,800 price). Something else I should probably mention for heavier people considering the Original Purple Mattress is that 9.5 inches is not very deep. Even in the beginning, I didn't want to flop down onto it for fear that my backside would bump into the platform underneath. In that respect, it seemed more like a really nice futon than a proper mattress.
Between the purple and the Casper, I think the biggest deciding factor is whether you sleep hot or not. I personally found the Casper to sleep too hot even in a cold room.
Well I don't think I will have a problem getting the Purple Mattress's gel to collapse LOL! I have been very curious about the Purple Mattress. The 2 mattresses sound somewhat comparable, but the "squishiness" of the Purple sounds nice.
I was leaning toward the purple bed, just because of the durability advantage and the cooling effect. but now I'm not so sure it'll be the best fit as I'm more lightweight and I don't want to end up spending so much on a mattress :-/
I've been very intrigued by the Purple mattresses; their marketing is undeniably pretty great. I especially love the sound of the 4" New Purple, but that price point is a hard pill to swallow and I wonder if there are any other mattresses of any brand that may work well for me. Do you have any suggestions based on the following. - 5'8" and fluctuate between 160 and 180lb. - Combination stomach and side sleeper - maybe 60% stomach, 40% side. - Like a soft weightless feel, but need support for my stomach sleeping. - Have wide hips and very easily feel sore or almost bruised on my hips and shoulders if sleeping on a firmer mattress. - I like a slight bounce; I hate that old tempurpedic / memory foam feeling like I've sunk into quicksand and can't roll or move easily. - I tend to sleep hot.
The original Purple does sound like the best match for you. You will really like it on your stomach and it should have good pressure relief for you on your side. I can't think of too many other options that would be a better fit for you.
@@Mattressclarity Thanks so much for the reply! Well, the Original does cost quite a bit less than the New Purple 4 (or 3) which is what I was looking at, so that's good news! I appreciate the input 😁
@@kirstiecarterheath8292 i would suggest the purple 3 or 4. I bought the original purple before the new one came out, and ended up exchanging it for a purple 4. The original was very nice but the 4 is unreal in my opinion. laying on your back literally feels like your floating. only reason i suggest the 3 is cus you said support for your stomach. I am a stomach sleeper and the 4 is great but obviously the 3 would be a little firmer for supporting your lower back if you are on your stomach.
On the purple, when youre laying on it, can you feel the squares from the polymer? I know you'll be able to feel the polymer as a whole, but can you feel each individual square. Im looking into buying the purple 3, personally.
Hello, I watched your review about the original…we are thinking to buy one.. you mentioned light weight..My weight is between 136-142.. is that considered light..My shoulder and hip hurt at night… so we searching for a better sleep.. Thanks appreciate your time..
There was quite a bit of red on your shoulder area when you were on your side on the pressure mat. I’m confused why you’d say it did well at relieving pressure for side sleepers?
I just ordered the original purple. I'm slightly concerned that it doesn't have coils. What difference would that make? Also I will be placing this mattress directly on the floor. Are there any issues with that? Thanks for the video man I really appreciate.
I weigh 240 lb sleep on my side and I'm in my bed most of the time because of a disability I can only afford this mattress and not the two three or four will this work for me thank you
Interesting. I'm 5'2" and 215lbs. I thought it was great for laying and sleeping on my back, but it was way too firm for my side. It was as if I sunk through the top gel layer and was laying on the firmer transition layer, which really aggravated my pressure points. Perhaps because my weight is so concentrated and I'm curvy. 🤷♀️
I just went to Macy’s to try the original and the purple 2. I like them both but the purple 2 felt a lot better and I didn’t feel like I was falling when I sat on the side of the 2 like I did when I sat on the side of the original.
Anthony Ward As far as my research a box spring is optional but your bed frame needs a good number of slates and not too spaced apart so that the foam bottom of the mattress doesn’t sink through too much. I’ve heard they may give you trouble with warranty complaints if your bed frame isn’t a decent supporting one. When putting in a warranty complaint they may ask for pictures of your bed frame to ensure it’s appropriate.
When you say light weight side sleepers what do you consider lightweight? I was looking into the new purple 3 but that price point is a bit high, so If the original purple cold work just as well that would be amazing.
I am kind of lightweight but want to almost sink in to the bed. The mattress I have right now is really firm and I want a “squishier” mattress. Any suggestions on what company or style I should look at?
Mattress Clarity do you know if they make platform inserts for beds? I have a very beautiful, expensive king bed that I don’t want to get rid of? Thanks for your response and info.
Do you recommend this to me me and my parents are looking for a new mattress for me and I am 70 pounds and ten years old idk And if you don’t recommend this what is a kinda cheap mattress should I get

The new Purple is definitely a better choice for heavier sleepers.

Thanks for sharing. The Purple is definitely temperature neutral.

Just tried on yesterday - will buy one!

Why didnt you show the pressure map on the bigger guy?
For the price queen new purple is the same termupedic
Lmao I'm a lightweight side sleeper and glad I watched this video! Thanks.

Amazing and very well done review
Thank you!
How would you define "lightweight"?
Dang the price of the purple 2 queen went up 400$ in one year.. ouch.. thats the one I really want too! 😫
RealJoshTv it’s down to $649 atm!
well...i tried and all three made me feel like i was swishing back n forth every time i made the slightest move.
too much a waterbed feelling.
Definitely not a feel for everyone, but I like it a lot and think most would agree.
Also, Queen Purple2 is $1599, Purple3 is $2199, & Purple4 is $2799.
I weigh 240 lb sleep on my side and I'm in my bed most of the time because of a disability I can only afford this mattress and not the two three or four will this work for me thank you
what does it look like in the first bed inside of it the first one that came out

It was as if I sunk through the top gel layer and was laying on the firmer transition layer, which really aggravated my pressure points.

“Curvy”
what does the first pruple one like
I just went to Macy’s to try the original and the purple 2. I like them both but the purple 2 felt a lot better and I didn’t feel like I was falling when I sat on the side of the 2 like I did when I sat on the side of the original.
It definitely has better edge support because of the coils instead of foam.
Do I need a box spring?

150 lbs. or less will probably think it's too firm on their side.
Loved it but too expensive for my budget 😁
I am kind of lightweight but want to almost sink in to the bed. The mattress I have right now is really firm and I want a “squishier” mattress. Any suggestions on what company or style I should look at?
Maybe check out the Nolah.
Interesting. Completely different take on it than Theslumberyard review. Guess you have to just try it out for yourself.
What is different?
Mattress Clarity They day that the original is not for heavier sleepers and that purple 3 to 4 is better for combo sleepers, etc.
Mattress Clarity do you know if they make platform inserts for beds? I have a very beautiful, expensive king bed that I don’t want to get rid of? Thanks for your response and info.
I stand by what we say.
I'm not sure if they do.
Do you recommend this to me me and my parents are looking for a new mattress for me and I am 70 pounds and ten years old idk
And if you don’t recommend this what is a kinda cheap mattress should I get
I would just get the Casper Essential or something from Zinus.
Mattress Clarity thanks, are those very soft?
Essential is pretty soft. Zinus you can choose what firmness you want.
Mattress Clarity thank you so much I will look at those two 😊
That dude's not 230 lol
You think bigger? Smaller?
He’s 6’7 lol
Take a shot every time he says "pressure relief" or "relieves pressure"
He says the same thing about 3 or 4 times back to back...
I tried that game once. Wouldn't recommend.
dudes not 6'7
