I had a nectar mattress for a few years. Turns out, my old mattress was causing problems I was literally so used to that I didn't even recognize them as problems!!! 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 -- I didn't realize how hot my memory foam mattress was. The comparison with purple was immediately noticeable. It's so much cooler and more comfortable.
