I just got a purple and it’s the first time that I’ve ever laid in bed and felt supported throughout my body, but also really comfortable. You almost feel like you are floating. Since they are not memory foam, it should last a long time.

Ok if you want to take bifl literally, then the answer is there is no mattress that is bifl. They all degrade. You should never expect to have a mattress that long. Springs lose tension, memory foam compresses and collapses, latex compresses and softens, the top layer of cotton compresses, waterbeds leak, etc. Losing 10% after 10 years is pretty dang good comparatively. A true natural latex mattress becomes 15-20% softer over 10 years. Synthetic latex softens up to 60% over 10 years.

We've bought Novafoam and Purple mattresses. Very pleased with both.

If you did ok with Leesa that long, why not another? The same company (3Z’s) who makes Leesa also makes Brooklyn Bedding (my favorite), Helix (also great but pricey), Nolah (best value and still quite good), Bear, and some others. I liked the Leesa Legend Chill, but really disliked their other beds. It felt cheaper than other lines they make. The Brooklyn Bedding Thermo Balance Elite was my favorite bed I tried, and what I bought. I’m extremely happy with it. Helix Midnight Elite was my second favorite, but pricier. Saatva RX was quite good, but even more expensive than Helix. Nolah Evolution was the best quality low cost option I tried ($1450 for a king), but I was willing to pay more for their highest quality offerings. Casper was ok for all foam, and exceeded my expectations at a solid price point. I hated nectar, because I could feel springs on the side and any partner movement. Purple will either be loved or hated, but feels weird to me. Simmons Beauty Rest had a lot of great options, but was pricey, though I preferred this to newer and in some cases more expensive Sealy models under the same umbrella. Tempurpedic was what I had before Brooklyn Bedding, and I think they are excellent, but they’re very expensive and not necessarily better at double the price.

I'd probably use mattress firm to gauge which mattress you want and shop around outside. I was torn between temperpudic and purple but went purple but I looked online to get the best price

I actually dislike the top layer of the purple mattress SO much. Feels so weird. We laid on every mattress at the store 😂 So for folks with sensory issues, try it out first at the store.

I hate the purple mattress fwiw. People should see and feel one in person first.

They’re so so heavy though so like actually go and make sure it’s not repulsive to you first is what I’m saying. Yes you can return it if it doesn’t work out lol. The top layer felt disgusting to me.
