Casper Original Hybrid Review

Rating: 7.3
Verified
Buy Casper
The Casper Original Hybrid mattress is a 10.5-inch thick hybrid mattress combining poly foam, memory foam, and pocketed coils. It scores 8.62 overall from NapLab, excelling in cooling, response time, edge support, and pressure relief. The mattress has a medium-firm feel, suitable for various sleeping positions, and features a zoned support system for spinal alignment. However, it has drawbacks in motion transfer and off-gassing, with a longer-than-average off-gassing period. Priced at $1,495 for a queen size, it comes with a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty. It is a solid choice for those seeking a hybrid mattress with excellent cooling and edge support but may not be ideal for heavier sleepers or those sensitive to motion transfer.
