After about eight years of wonderful use and regular rotation it became too soft and hurt her back, until flipping it made it much firmer
Original Purple (2021) felt good for two years, then sagged badly at 135 lb and 190 lb; warranty hoops; switched to Stearns & Foster.
A warranty replacement of the basic model brought her lower back and hip pain back within a week
After almost six years on the original Purple both partners have back pain that keeps getting worse, so it is time to replace it
Liked it for years, got a warranty replacement after sag, and the replacement sagged again within four weeks
Basic Purple (Purple 1) after two nights: bouncy but felt very firm and she woke with upper back pain as a back sleeper; wanted to return it.

What does the signal score of 79 mean?
It's how well reviewed Purple Mattress is, out of 100, next to the other mattresses here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed product (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a product few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
