The Purple Mattress

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

We had one for 7 years that developed really deep “divots” where we each sleep. Based on my back pain, they probably developed 2-3 years before we asked for a replacement. Purple replaced it under warranty and we’ve had the new one for two years now but it’s having the same issues, even though we went for a higher quality this time. We won’t do Purple again. I do like the purple pillow though!

Purple … had mine 8 years. Going to replace it with another purple

I can highly recommend the purple mattress, especially if you need the support and/or tend to sleep hot. The plus or premiere offers a soft option that feels like you're sleeping on a cloud (although it might be slightly outside your price range, depending on what size mattress you're looking for). I'm also a side sleeper and wanted a nice soft "sink-into" mattress (that wouldn't get too hot), but we ended up exchanging it for one of the rejuvenate line because it ended up being just a tad bit too soft. At any rate, there's lots of great options out there, hope you're able to find a great deal that works for you, because sleep is so important!
