I had a Nectar mattress for a few years. I used to wake up several times a night with a sore hip bone. I have yet to feel any pressure or pain whatsoever in my Purple mattress! Now when I wake up, I spring out of bed again for the first time in years. I noticed a huge difference in temperature — the comparison with Purple was immediately noticeable. It's so much cooler and more comfortable.
