Casper Wave Hybrid Review

Rating: 7.5
Verified
Buy Casper
The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress is a 12-inch hybrid model with a medium firmness of 5.5 out of 10, combining latex foam, gel pods, and pocketed coils. It offers excellent pressure relief, fast response time, and high bounce, making it suitable for various sleeping positions and intimate activities. However, it has high motion transfer, making it less ideal for couples, and its cooling performance is good but not exceptional. The edge support is excellent when sitting but less impressive when lying down. Initial off-gassing is strong and lasts about 11 days. The mattress is priced higher than average at $2,895 for a queen size and comes with a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty.
