Hi! So I’ve got 2 herniated discs, L4-L5 and L5-S1 and it’s caused horrible sciatica and pain for years. Bought a new mattress in 2019 and literally all my problems went away. We got a (at the time) Purple Hybrid 2 and it’s still the best thing ever. You might want the 3” grid as a side sleeper but the thing has literally fixed mine and my BILs back problems. On the website currently the same model we have is what is now the “Restore Hybrid Mattress” Good luck!
Same! Ive been buying 300$ mattresses from Amazon. It's always a gamble, my old one wasn't bad but started sagging after like 4 years. So I bought a new one, it sucked. I went to check out mattresses and loved the purple restore hybrid 11.5. Bit expensive but I went with it. There was only one other bed at the store that I thought was nice, I don't recall the brand but it was very similar in price and feel. I believe it also was a polymer or silicone mattress.
Purple has a 10 year Warranty so your current mattress did its job. I previously had a Serta Hybrid that had really bad off-gassing and I couldn't sleep on it for a couple of weeks. It was lovely to sleep on until it wasn't. It was dead after 4 years. I'm not a large person. It also was very hot to sleep on.
I'm also extremely sensitive to scents. Just purchased a Purple Restore Cool Touch, no scent issues. Slept on it the first night. When I purchased the hybrid mattress and couldn't sleep on it for weeks, I had to keep the bedroom door shut due to the toxic scent. Bedroom windows were open, fan in the window to suck the scent out and had to sleep elsewhere. It ended up being very comfortable, but like I said, after 4 years it was dead which is unacceptable. Good luck on your search. The Purple is interesting. It's not a decadent bed by any means, but I had that and it didn't last. Bedding in the last 15 or so years is just overpriced junk. I honestly would prefer an old regular mattress that can be flipped along with really old metal bed springs that never die. They squeeked, but were great.
We got the Restore. Not sure if that’s different but it’s a good in between of firm and soft
I like a firm/cool mattress & got the purple hybrid 2nd hand (like new, just unboxed) for $600 ~5 years ago and it has been awesome, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
I’m about 180 but I love my purple hybrid mattress. It was worth it.
We have had a purple hybrid the last five years. It’s an amazing mattress. I sleep hot and I feel like the mattress is breathable. I don’t bother my spouse when I move and I feel like the motion is very isolated. I also tend to have back issues and don’t have pain from sleeping anymore. I love it. Worth the investment
Finding your post made me feel so seen. I got a purple hybrid in 2021 and its just so hard now!
