Body weight can change the way that individual sleepers perceive firmness. For example, lighter sleepers may find the Purple Original to be closer to a 5.5 or even a 6, compared to a heavier sleeper.
Many lighter sleepers report a “floating” feeling on this mattress due to their inability to engage with deeper layers.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, heavier sleepers tend to report a softer feel than lighter sleepers.
Where there is more body mass, there is more engagement with support layers of the Purple and the experience is going to differ.
