Of course i buy it then go out of town the same day so wont get to try it for a week. Got it no warranty so basically i have to like it. Whats with mattress culture being about returning mattresses 2-3x until you find the perfect mattress for you? Ive been happy with pretty much any mattress in the past. Even my current mattress Im fine with, girlfriend just complaining about it. It it like 10-14 years old or something though.

That's all good, it'll air out while you're gone

Is it your first Purple mattress?

congratulations on bed

Hope you got a king. Don't think I could go back to anything smaller

I've never seen the point of a king. Unless you're in a polyamorous relationship or are an unnatural giant slab of meat, queen should be more or less enough for anyone (or even any two).

And if you're sleeping alone, a twin should be more than enough unless you're tall (like over 6' tall).

How long til you break it in sex style

I will never forgive Purple for taking my favorite 'is the internet working' site.

Have you slept on a king? iirc you're somewhat tall. It's not necessary, but the difference is enough that I would prefer not to go back to a smaller sized mattress.

Queen is big enough, but the way I sleep (I tend to put my arm under my pillow or behind my head) my feet stick off the end. Doesn't happen on a king.

Plus, one of our kids is almost guaranteed to migrate in the middle of the night like once a month. Hell, last night I fell asleep reading a story to the two-year old and woke up to all three kids in my bed and my wife sleeping in our daughter's room lol

Odd coincidence, I just flipped mine before checking this. I'll be damned.

No wonder they complained, that's disgusting.

I'm 6'3", and queen has always been long enough for me. I only had issues on a twin.

...but also, king, queen, and long twin are all pretty much the same length anyway. They're all supposed to be about 80" (6'8") long. So there shouldn't be any difference between a king and a queen based on length, only width.

I dunno I'll have to measure mine when I get home. Maybe it's a Cali king. My wife bought it so I'm not sure, but my feet don't stick off the end like they did on our old queen

Yeah, if you've got some sort of King+ (like a Super King) that could be longer, but that's not a normal king.

Normal king and queen are the same length. Which is why I said I don't think the extra width is ever really necessary. Unless you've got more than two people sleeping in the same bed on a regular basis (and I wouldn't count kids, because they're smol).

Yes, its my first purple.

Im 66 and definitely have issues with my feet hanging off the bed if I am laying straight. I usually angle myself slightly to resolve this mixed with laying pretty high up on the bed with the pillow being partially on the headboard.
