We just bought a purple, but got the more expensive one that is out of your budget. I didn’t like the cheaper one. My advice is to just go and lay on a bunch of mattresses at several stores and see what feels right. We went to 4 stores and tried many different brands and feels before we decided.
What one did you go with? We first went with a Rejuvenate Premier but found that I had some hip pain with it. We returned that one and went with the Restore Premier. We’ve had it a few weeks now and love it.
I believe if you tried it out at the store and liked it, who cares what others had to say about it. I am curious though, are u talking about the president day sale at Mattress firm? Because they offered us a free base, not an adjustable one and I'm wondering if I should try and negotiate that if there are doing such things.
I am in kinda the same situation as you. We just went to mattress firm as well and fell in love with the purple premier soft. It's soft AF and I loved it. I never felt so comfortable laying on a mattress. Then I read some reviews about purple and how they are failing as a company and with their customer service.
So if we could get a free adjustable base, that might tip the scales Into us putting down 4k on a bed. I am also overweight, 300 plus and I hate firm mattresses. So in my opinion do what you prefer and don't worry about other people's reviews as much. (Except this comment of course lol)
Edit. One last thing, for bigger people the base is extremely important. I got a cheap Amazon headboard and frame and the boards break, the mattress squeeks Everytime I move, the middle post is bent and the squeeking goes away when I bend it back. Which just fixes it until the next time one of my kids jumps on our bed and bends the middle post again. So that's why we were shooping at mattresses firm. Btw u mentioned sad, ur not from the Midwest? I'm from SE WI and we get that alot here
I loved testing the most expensive one at the store (side sleeper) but got the original and love it!
the only downsides I can think of is 1. the warranty is shit, but I didn't have to use it 2. it used to be completely silent but a few years in, it does creak. I suppose it could also be that I got the cheapest base.
also if u need to move it, get a mattress carrying bag (I got mine from the evil rainforest) & a helper, makes it way easier.
eta: I'm also a hot sleeper and it's superior to memory foam in terms of breathability ime. waterproof mattress protector does make that less so but...helps prevent stains. ☺️
