Casper Nova Hybrid Review

Rating: 7.0
Verified
Buy Casper
The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress is a 12-inch hybrid model designed for lightweight and side sleepers, offering a soft-medium feel. It features a combination of foam layers and pocketed coils, providing deep sinkage, fast response time, and good edge support. The mattress excels in pressure relief, response time, and sex performance but has moderate cooling capabilities and motion transfer. It consists of five layers, including aerated poly foam, memory foam with zoned support, convoluted poly foam, pocketed coils, and support foam. The mattress is ideal for lightweight and side sleepers but may not be supportive enough for heavier individuals or those preferring a firmer mattress. It has a shorter trial period and warranty compared to competitors.
