Our Verdict
To date, we have tested 7 of the Casper mattresses. The average score of a Casper mattress is 8.36, just slightly lower than the average score across all mattresses tested to date (8.63).
The most basic model, The Casper, was a reasonably good performer, especially considering the price point. It was at the same level as the more expensive Casper Original and Casper’s Costco mattress, the Casper Select.
The Casper Original Hybrid is arguably the best value Casper, as its performance was at the same level as the Wave and Nova Hybrids, while being notably less expensive.
If you just want the best then go with the Casper Snow. If you’re on a budget and need to maximize value then the Casper Original Hybrid is the right choice.
Casper mattresses are available for purchase at Casper.com (US) and Casper.ca (Canada).

The Casper
Best For
- A queen mattress under $1000
- Extremely fast response time
- Balanced feel of hug and pushback
Considerations
- Edge support struggles a bit, could pose issues if you often find yourself on the edge
- Moderate heat retention
Our Verdict
The Casper, originally called the Casper Element Pro, is a budget-friendly all-foam mattress and was introduced as a substitute to the Casper Original (at a lower price point).
It contains a combination of poly foam, memory foam, and support foam. This mattress has only a 9″ thickness, with only 3″ of that making up the comfort layer.
This is a bit thinner than I like to see for optimal pressure relief and support. For this reason, this mattress may not be the right choice for heavier sleepers, especially those who sleep on their back or stomach.
Type: Foam
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6)
Best For: All Sleeping Positions, All Body Weights
Casper Nova Hybrid
Best For
- Lightweight and/or side sleepers
- Deep sinkage, while retaining a fast material response time
- Good edge support
Considerations
- Higher level of motion transfer
- Softer feel may not be supportive enough for heavier sleepers
- Moderate level of heat retention
Our Verdict
The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress has a 12″ profile and a soft-medium feel. It provides a deep level of sinkage while retaining fast response and high levels of bounce.
In our tests we found that the mattress had very fast material response, outstanding pressure relief, and excellent sex performance (due to high bounce and good edge support).
However, cooling, motion transfer, and off-gassing all left something to be desired.
The price of the Nova Hybrid is notably more than the average hybrid, but if you’re specifically looking for a softer Casper, this may be a good mattress for some sleepers.
The Casper Nova Hybrid is available for purchase at Casper.com (US) and Casper.ca (Canada).
Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Soft (4.5)
Best For: All Sleeping Positions, Lightweight Sleepers Under 200 lbs.
Casper Original
Best For
- Very fast response time
- Excellent edge support with only 3.75″ edge sinkage
- High level of bounce
Considerations
- May not be supportive enough for sleepers over 250 lbs.
- Moderately high levels of motion transfer
- May sleep “warm” or “hot” for sleepers who are sensitive to cooling issues
Our Verdict
The Casper Original is an all foam mattress with a medium-firm feel. In our tests, we found the Casper performed well in response time, edge support, and sex. However, cooling, pressure relief, and off-gassing all left something to be desired.
The Casper Original is similar to the less expensive “The Casper” mattress. In our tests, we found overall performance to be the nearly the same. As a result, I am hard-pressed to recommend the Casper Original over the less expensive Casper.
For sleepers who like the feel and design of Casper, but want a higher performance option, the Casper Original Hybrid represents a more significant step up in terms of performance, while not being significantly more expensive.
Type: Foam
Firmness: Medium Firm (6)
Casper Original Hybrid
Best For
- Excellent edge support, only 2.25″ edge sinkage when seated
- Very fast response time
- Excellent cooling with a perforated top comfort layer
Considerations
- Higher levels of motion transfer may be an issue for sensitive sleepers
- Only 3.5″ of comfort material, may not be suitable for heavier sleepers over 250 lbs.
Our Verdict
The Casper Original Hybrid mattress is a low-profile hybrid mattress (10.5″ thick) with a combination of poly foam, memory foam, and pocketed coils. It offers good performance across the board with the one exception being high levels of motion transfer.
The price of the Casper Original Hybrid does put this mattress at the higher end of the pricing spectrum ($1495 for a queen compared to $1298, the average price of a hybrid mattress).
If you’re specifically looking for a Casper, the Original Hybrid outperforms the Casper Original and it’s a reasonably good value at $1495.
The Casper Original Hybrid is available for purchase at Casper.com (US) and Casper.ca (Canada).
Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6)
Casper Select
Best For
- Very fast response time
- Excellent edge support when sitting or lying
- Affordable price if you’re on a tight budget
Considerations
- Higher levels of motion transfer than other foam mattresses
- Low levels of bounce may hinder sex performance
Our Verdict
The Casper Select mattress is a budget-friendly Casper option that is sold directly through Costco. This mattress is a 12″ foam mattress that uses poly foam, gel memory foam, and a support foam base.
Performance on the Casper Select is good, albeit not incredible. It has good cooling performance, an extremely fast response time, and good edge support. It did struggle a bit with high levels of motion transfer, and good (but not great) levels of pressure relief.
For sleepers on a tighter budget and prefer the all foam feel this could be a good option.
Type: Foam
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6.5)
Casper Snow Hybrid
Best For
- Outstanding cooling performance with a memory foam feel
- Excellent edge support, only 3.25″ of sinkage when seated directly on the edge
- Excellent pressure relief for side sleepers under 250 lbs.
Considerations
- Very slow material response time
- Very long off-gassing period
- Deep sinkage and a classic memory foam feel, may not be right for all sleepers
Our Verdict
The Casper Snow mattress is an 11.5″ hybrid (12.0″ according to the manufacturer) made of memory foam and pocketed coils. In addition, it’s equipped with a few notable cooling features, including a phase-change infused cover, cooling “bands”, and a spray-on phase-change foam treatment.
It offers a traditional memory foam feel with deep sinkage and contour, paired with moderate levels of bounce. Response time is incredibly slow so you’ll need to absolutely love the feel of memory foam to enjoy this mattress.
The Snow Hybrid is available in a single firmness with a medium feel (5 out of 10 on the firmness scale).
Concerning overall performance, the Casper Snow has a score of 8.51, which is just below the average score (8.64) we see across all mattresses tested to date.
The price is also quite a bit higher—33% more than the average memory foam hybrid. Looking at all memory foam hybrids we’ve tested, the Snow Hybrid performs in the bottom 20% overall. That said, much of the weaker score is the result of the incredibly slow material response. If you don’t mind slow material response it may be something you could overlook.
Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium (5)
Best For: All Sleeping Positions, All Body Weights
Casper Wave Hybrid
Best For
- Very fast response time
- Good edge support, only 3.25″ of sinkage when seated
- Very high bounce contributes to better sex performance
Considerations
- More expensive than average without improved performance
- Higher levels of motion transfer
- Good, but not great cooling performance
Our Verdict
The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress is a 12″ hybrid mattress with a medium feel, designed to be well-suited for a wide range of sleeper preferences. The price is higher than the average hybrid, but that’s the case with most Casper mattresses.
In our performance tests, the Casper Wave Hybrid scored well across the board scoring perfect 10’s for extremely fast response time and outstanding pressure relief. Edge support was also very good.
The only real areas where the Wave Hybrid struggles is motion transfer and cooling. The combination of coils, latex foam, gel pods, and perforated poly foam creates a surface that allows for higher levels of motion transfer. With respect to cooling, the mattress is good, but far from great.
Casper’s Original Hybrid and Snow mattresses were notably better when it came to cooling performance.
The Casper Wave Hybrid is available for purchase at Casper.com (US) and Casper.ca (Canada).
Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium (5.5)

Here is a video clip of the motion transfer on the Casper.
Levels reach up to 12.88 m/s² (Casper Wave Hybrid), nearly 62% higher than the average.
Here is a video clip of the motion transfer on the Casper Wave Hybrid.
Response Test
The response time is very fast on nearly all Casper mattresses tested to date.
| Response Test | Score | Mostly Recovered | Completely Recovered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casper | 9.6 | 0.2 seconds | 0.8 seconds |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 9.9 | 0.2 seconds | 0.4 seconds |

Bounce Test
The level of bounce varies widely across all Casper mattresses. The Casper and Casper Select both have low levels of bounce while the Casper Nova Hybrid and Casper Wave Hybrid both have high levels of bounce.
| Bounce Test | Bounce Feel | Bounce Height |
|---|---|---|
| Casper | Low | 6.53″ |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | High | 10.46″ |
| Casper Original | Moderate | 9.80″ |
| Casper Original Hybrid | Moderate | 8.21″ |
| Casper Select | Low | 6.93″ |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | Moderate | 9.54″ |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | High | 10.78″ |
The average amount of bounce across all mattresses tested to date is 9.64″.
Least Bounce

Edge Support Test
The edge support of Casper mattresses varies from good to excellent.
| Edge Support Test | Score | Sitting Sinkage | Lying Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casper | 7.7 | 4.25″ | Fair |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 8.4 | 4.00″ | Good |
| Casper Original | 9.1 | 3.75″ | Excellent |
| Casper Original Hybrid | 9.5 | 2.25″ | Excellent |
| Casper Select | 9.1 | 3.75″ | Excellent |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | 9.4 | 3.25″ | Excellent |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | 8.9 | 3.25″ | Good |
Generally, I like to see 4″ of edge sinkage (or less) when sitting. Any more than that and you start to feel the effects and may feel unsupported when sitting or lying.
For reference, the average level of sinkage (when sitting right at the edge of the mattress) is 4.27″.
All Casper mattresses perform better than average. The only Casper mattress that has sinkage beyond 4.0″ is The Casper, which had a max sinkage of 4.25″.

Sex Test
The best mattresses for sex have high bounce, good edge support, quiet materials, and good pressure relief and cooling.
These 5 factors make up the NapLab sex performance score.
| Sex Test | Sex Score | Bounce | Edge Support | Noise | Pressure Relief | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casper | 7.3 | 6.6 | 8.4 | 10 | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 9.0 | 9.0 | 8.8 | 10 | 10 | 8.0 |
| Casper Original | 8.7 | 8.6 | 9.1 | 10 | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Casper Original Hybrid | 8.3 | 7.6 | 10 | 10 | 9.0 | 9.0 |
| Casper Select | 7.5 | 6.8 | 9.1 | 10 | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | 8.9 | 8.5 | 9.7 | 10 | 9.0 | 10 |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | 9.3 | 9.2 | 9.7 | 10 | 10 | 8.0 |
Considering these factors, the Casper Nova Hybrid (9.0) and Casper Wave Hybrid (9.3) are the best mattresses for sex.
The Casper Original (8.7) and Casper Snow Hybrid (8.3) are not far behind in score.
These four mattresses mentioned have higher levels of bounce and better edge support than other Caspers (ie: Casper Select and The Casper).
Pressure Relief Test
Pressure relief is good on all Casper mattresses we’ve tested with anywhere from 3-5″ of comfort material.
| Pressure Relief Test | Score | Comfort Layer | Support Layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casper | 8.0 | 3.0″ | 6.0″ |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 10 | 5.0″ | 7.0″ |
| Casper Original | 8.0 | 3.5″ | 7.0″ |
| Casper Original Hybrid | 9.0 | 3.5″ | 7.0″ |
| Casper Select | 8.0 | 4.5″ | 7.5″ |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | 9.0 | 3.0″ | 8.5″ |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | 10 | 5.0″ | 7.0″ |
Generally, a thicker comfort layer yields better pressure relief, especially for heavier sleepers. The Casper Nova Hybrid and Casper Wave Hybrid exhibit this fact with perfect pressure relief scores of 10 out of 10… and also 5.0″ of comfort material.
As comfort layers get thinner with other Casper mattresses, Pressure Relief scores also drop.
Off-Gassing Test
All Casper mattresses have strong odors right out of the box, but the exact length of off-gassing period varies based on each mattress.
| Off-Gassing Test | Score | Initial Smell | Smell Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casper | 6.7 | Strong | 12 days |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 5.0 | Strong | 18 days |
| Casper Original | 5.8 | Strong | 15 days |
| Casper Original Hybrid | 5.8 | Strong | 15 days |
| Casper Select | 8.1 | Strong | 7 days |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | 4.4 | Strong | 20 days |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | 6.9 | Strong | 11 days |
For the shortest off-gassing period, opt for the Casper Select or Casper Snow, which only have a 7-day off-gassing.
The Casper Original, Casper Nova Hybrid, and Casper Original Hybrid all require over two weeks to fully off-gas.
Company
As a company, Casper has a trial period of 100 nights and a 10-year warranty. Shipping and returns are both free as well.
| Company | Casper |
|---|---|
| Score | 8.5 |
| Trial Period | 100 nights |
| Warranty | 10 years |
| Shipping | $0 |
| Returns | $0 |
| Trust | Good |
| Country of Origin | USA |
Compared to the average trial length of 160 nights, Casper is 37.5% shorter. While the trial is less than average, you still have over 3 months to decide if you like the mattress. For most sleepers, this should be sufficient.
Firmness
The firmness level of Casper ranges from 4.5 to 6.5 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. This is a Soft to Medium-Firm feel that is usually suitable for a wide range of sleepers.
The Casper Nova Hybrid is the softest Casper to date (4.5 out of 10) and the Casper Select is the firmest Casper to date (6.5 out of 10).
| Firmness | Rating | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Casper | 6 | Medium-Firm |
| Casper Nova Hybrid | 4.5 | Soft |
| Casper Original | 6 | Medium-Firm |
| Casper Original Hybrid | 6 | Medium-Firm |
| Casper Select | 6.5 | Medium-Firm |
| Casper Snow Hybrid | 5 | Medium |
| Casper Wave Hybrid | 5.5 | Medium |
Support & Sleeping Positions
