Review of the @Purple Hybrid Premier Mattress

I'm reviewing the Purple Mattress, and I'm doing so in a nontraditional way because I'm a nontraditional person in nontraditional circumstances. Sleep has been a struggle for me since having kids. I'm a single Dad to three kiddos on the autism spectrum, and when they don't sleep, I don't sleep. Frankly, even when they do sleep, I don't always sleep. Being single, I don't even get to sleep in shifts, and it takes a toll on my physical and emotional health. That's not a good thing. It's so important that I get the most out of whatever sleep I manage to obtain.

It’s frustrating but melts my heart at the same time

I had an awful nights sleep last night. Emmett woke up at some point and climbed into my bed. My bed is a huge and he literally has to cling to me like if he let go, I'd disappear. I'm reviewing a brand new king size Purple 4 Hybrid matter with 4 inches of Purple grid and I woke up with back pain because I was twisted into uncomfortable positions by my 12 year old all night. He's been doing pretty good lately but is really stressed out with school and COVID. When he's stressed out, he doesn't sleep well. Of course, his current fever flare doesn't help either.
