I was suffering from some back pain, I thought it might have been my old mattress even though it was only about seven years old..I decided to try a purple mattress.. I did some research and read quite a few reviews,well after talking the plunge,let me say it's heaven on earth, I sleep like a baby now and keep hitting the snooze button in the morning..If your on the fence purchasing a purple,wait no more,go for it,you'll be glad you did.
