I have been mildly obsessed with Purple products since the internet exploded with hype a few years back, but never bought a mattress because I wanted to try it out first. Denver Mattress Co is the only store I found that had all four Purple models in store! I went for a visit, tried them all out, and fell in love with the Purple 4. It’s the squishiest version with the thickest layer (4 in) of the purple polymer. Now, I like soft beds, but I can admit that there’s a point where a bed becomes too soft and no longer supportive. The Purple 4 is soft like that, but you can really feel the support. I’m a side sleeper, and so I always have tension in my shoulder and hip, and with the Purple 4, those parts just sink right in, and the rest of my body is still supported. It sounds like I’m quoting their commercials, but it really is true. One of the big reasons I didn’t get a Purple mattress from the internet is because the polymer is such a different material and I was concerned it would feel really weird to lay on. It doesn’t. The mattress cover is padded enough that you can’t feel the grid at all. The no-motion-transfer thing is really awesome too. I go to sleep much later than my husband, and my getting in bed used to wake him up. Not anymore with Purple! I also have the Purple mattress protector, which is exciting because it’s stretchy and breathable! I’ve never had a stretchy mattress protector before, and it’s really a great thing, especially with a mattress like this that is meant to be squishy and cooling. If you put a rigid protector and sheets on it, you’re losing part of the benefit of the mattress. I use regular jersey knit sheets as well, for the stretch, but I’m probably going to get the Purple sheets soon too. They’re a bamboo/rayon blend and feel quite pleasant. Denver Mattress has them in store as well. Last but not least, the people at Denver Mattress were all wonderful and nice and helpful, and made my experience so much better than I honestly expected. You know how it is when you go to a place to buy a big-ticket item, you brace yourself for hovering and pushy salespeople. That didn’t happen. I was really prepared to just test out the mattress and file the experience away for future reference, but I ended up leaving with a mattress. For what it’s worth, I also spent less and got the mattress home faster than I would have buying from Purple directly. I am very pleased with my purchase and the experience I had.
