Regular non-hybrid Purple after six years is sinking and giving him neck pain.
Original Purple from 2017: great at first, then sank where their bodies lay; replaced free twice, so not BIFL; their Purple pillows lasted 9 years.
Original Purple (2021) felt good for two years, then sagged badly at 135 lb and 190 lb; warranty hoops; switched to Stearns & Foster.
After about eight years it broke down over time and is now unusable
After seven years it sagged and Purple honored the 10-year warranty
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
The original Purple is sagging at five years and is being replaced under warranty with an upgrade
The first-generation mattress started sagging after several months on a loft bed and the pandemic delayed its removal
The original 2017 mattress developed a sizable dip in the center, and Purple offered a discount to upgrade under the ten-year warranty
Purple 1 started breaking down in the first month with a low spot; Mattress Firm made the return difficult but they pushed it through.

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.
