A hot sleeper's dream mattress

Pros

  • +Sleeps incredibly cool
  • +No off-gassing
  • +Great back support

Cons

  • -Wife finds it too firm for side sleeping
  • -Heavy — needed 3 people to move it

I've tried 4 mattresses in the past 5 years trying to solve my night sweating problem. The Purple is the first one that genuinely keeps me cool all night. The grid feel is weird at first — took about 2 weeks to adjust — but now I love it. I'm a back/stomach sleeper and the support is perfect. My wife is a side sleeper though and she finds it too firm on her shoulders. We're considering a split comfort option.
