Casper Hybrid Mattress Firmness & Feel
Casper Hybrid Mattress Firmness
The Casper Hybrid is slightly softer than the Original Casper mattress, with a medium to medium-firm firmness level. On a 1–10 firmness scale, with 10 being the firmest bed around, the Casper Hybrid registers at a 5.5/10.
What Does the Casper Hybrid Mattress Feel Like?
With softer foam at the shoulders and more supportive foam at the heavier lumbar region, the Casper Hybrid gently contours the body delivering both support and pressure relief. It supports every sleeping position for average-weight and lightweight people thanks to its balanced feel and the fact that it provides excellent body alignment.
However, the comfort foam layers may not be thick enough for bigger body types, especially for those who weigh more than 300 pounds. If you are a heavier sleeper, see the best mattress for plus size sleepers or the heavy sleepers guide.
What Sleeping Position is The Casper Hybrid Mattress Best For?
| Body Type: | BACK SLEEPERS | STOMACH SLEEPERS | SIDE SLEEPERS |
| Lightweight (< 130 lbs): | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| Average-weight (130–230 lbs): | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| Heavyweight (> 230 lbs): | 3 | 2 | 3 |
1 = Very poor, 2 = Not good, 3 = Fair, 4 = Good, 5 = Excellent
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers typically prefer a medium-firm mattress thanks to the balance between contouring cushion and reliable support. A balanced feel supports the spine’s natural curvature, helping to prevent, and even sometimes ease, back pain.
The Casper Hybrid falls on the softer side of medium-firm mattresses. However, the zoned support foam means that the heavier body parts—and the areas of the mattress prone to sagging—remain supported, keeping the spine properly aligned. As a result, the Casper Hybrid proves to be both comfortable and supportive enough for most lightweight and average-weight back sleepers.
Heavyweight back sleepers who weigh less than 300 pounds are also well supported on this mattress. However, heavier folks may find the surface a touch too soft, knocking the spine out of alignment. For a mattress with more support, check out one of the beds that made our top picks for the best mattresses for back sleepers.
Side Sleepers
The Casper Hybrid is a good mattress for most side sleepers. While the medium-firm feel is slightly firmer than what we would normally recommend to strict side sleepers, Casper utilizes zoned support foam that’s softer at the shoulders and helps deliver the level of contouring and cushion that side sleepers need.
The Casper Hybrid’s feel is best for average-weight side sleepers, but it’s not a bad pick for either lightweight or heavyweight side sleepers. Most lightweight people will find the surface soft enough, but some lighter folks prefer an even softer feel. As for plus-size people, those who weigh more than 300 pounds may sink through the dual comfort layers of foam and experience pressure at their shoulders or hips. Those in the 230–300 lb range are likely to enjoy the zoned support that the Casper Hybrid brings.
Head over to our best mattresses for side sleepers roundup for even more options.
Stomach Sleepers
The zoned memory foam, plush polyfoam, and innerspring coils in the Casper Hybrid provide enough support and cushion for average-weight and lightweight stomach sleepers. The surface cushions the front body while dense foam at the hips stops the spine from dipping out of alignment.
That said, the Casper Hybrid is too soft for most heavyweight stomach sleepers. If you weigh more than 230 lbs, we recommend finding a firmer mattress in our best mattresses for stomach sleepers countdown.
Combination Sleepers
Combination sleepers often struggle to find a suitable mattress. They require a bed that works for all sleeping positions while also needing a surface that’s easy to move around on. The Casper Hybrid is one of the best mattresses for lightweight and average-weight combo sleepers thanks to its zoned support that works for every sleeping position.
Heavyweight combo sleepers are going to do better on a mattress that’s designed for bigger bodies. Head over to our best mattresses for combination sleepers page to find a better fit.
Casper Hybrid Mattress Performance
Is the Casper Hybrid Mattress Cooling?
Hot sleepers struggle to find a mattress on which they don’t wake up hot and sweaty. Not only does sleeping hot mean you wake up feeling a bit grubby, but it also disrupts deep sleep, making you feel less well-rested come morning.
Memory foam mattresses and hybrid beds with thick foam layers are known to trap body heat, causing overheating in hot sleepers. The Casper Hybrid sleeps cooler than most all-foam beds and even the average hybrid models. A top layer of perforated foam works together with the supportive coil base to create a breathable bed that helps keep you cool and dry. While the surface isn’t cool-to-the-touch, the breathability makes it a good bed for those who sleep hot.
For other beds that can help keep you cool, head over to our collection of the best cooling mattresses.
Edge Support
Edge support is the strength of a bed around its perimeter. It’s not as important if you don’t spend lots of time sitting or lying on the edge of the bed. But edge support could matter more to you if your sleep partner takes up more than their fair share of the bed or if you need extra support when getting into and out of bed.
The Casper Hybrid includes a firm polyfoam border around the coil base to improve edge support and prevent the bed from sagging. For those who like to sleep toward the edge of the mattress, you can still enjoy the zoned support layer without feeling like you’re falling off. The Casper Hybrid’s edges are firm and comfortable enough that very few people are likely to have a problem with sleeping or sitting along the edges of the bed. For a bed-in-a-box mattress, the Casper Hybrid has a durable and strong base, also making it one of the best mattresses for the money.
Responsiveness
With a springy coil support system and resilient foams, the Casper Hybrid keeps up with your changes in sleeping position. This feature is especially important for combination sleepers, who may move from their side to their back and so on.
Motion Isolation: Is it good for those who share a bed?
People who share their bed with a partner, child, or pet tend to have a harder time achieving deep, restorative sleep than those who sleep alone. The difficulties are multifaceted but include finding a mattress that fits the needs of both sleepers as well as a bed that helps everyone sleep deeply. Typically, the best mattress for couples absorbs motion, has sturdy edges, and doesn’t make noise when you move around on it.
The Casper Hybrid is an outstanding mattress for couples. It is one of few beds that does a good job supporting people of every sleeping position, so long as both sleepers weigh less than 230 pounds. Additionally, the pocketed coils move independently and the foams above and below absorb movement, minimizing motion transfer. Finally, the edges are sturdy so you can spread out, and the coils are quiet so you can sleep peacefully.
Noise
We didn’t notice any noise coming from our Casper Hybrid mattress.
Pain Relief
Those with back pain need a mattress that keeps their spine aligned. For side sleepers, this means adequate cushion at the shoulders so the neck isn’t kinked. For back sleepers, the mattress must deliver contouring that provides balanced support and give. For stomach sleepers, the bed must be soft enough at the chest yet firm enough to stop the hips from sinking in.
The Casper Hybrid is one of the only mattresses that’s able to provide proper spinal alignment in every sleeping position. Zoned support foam and pocketed coils mean plenty of give at the shoulders, support at the hips, and a generally balanced feel along the mattress surface. So long as you weigh less than 230 pounds, the Casper Hybrid is a great mattress for back pain.
Sex
The Casper Hybrid has all of the features to look for when choosing a good mattress for sex: it’s bouncy, supportive, temperature regulating, and quiet.
Off-Gassing
This scent should fade quickly, and you can sleep on your new bed before it fully goes away if it doesn’t bother you. Casper uses CertiPUR-US certified foams, so you know the bed is free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and ozone depleters.
Durability
As for durability, the Casper Hybrid is made from high-quality materials that are likely to last most people around ten years. Steel coils make up the support layer, and coils tend to last longer than support foam. The top foam layers may soften with time, but most reviews point to people being happy with the longevity of their Casper Hybrid mattress—just be sure to rotate your Casper from head to foot with every season.

Casper Hybrid Construction: What’s It Made Of?
The Casper Hybrid is a four-layer mattress with a softer medium-firm feel. The first layer of perforated plush polyfoam brings a slight contouring feel, while the second layer of zoned memory foam provides structure along the lumbar spine and cushion at the shoulders and feet. The pocketed coil support system adds a slightly springy feel while providing durable support.
Layer #1—Breathable Mattress Cover: A stretchy and breathable fabric that helps keep sleepers cool with more of a cozy feel rather than a cool-to-the-touch sensation.
Layer #2—Airscape Foam Comfort Layer: Casper’s proprietary Airscape foam is perforated so air can flow through the holes and keep the sleeping surface cool. It has a plush and responsive feel, delivering a slight body hug while still being easy to move around on.
Layer #3—Zoned Support Memory Foam Layer: This layer of memory foam has three ergonomic zones, providing support and cushion in the right areas. Firmer foam along the hips and spine keep the body from sinking in too low, while softer foam at the feet and shoulders supports healthy spinal alignment and provides pressure relief.
Layer #4—Pocketed Coil Support System: Individually encased coils move independently, giving at the shoulders and hips while supporting the spine. This steel coil layer contributes a moderate bouncy feel that makes switching positions easy. It’s also breathable, supporting a cool and dry night’s sleep. There’s a high-density polyfoam encasing the coils, creating durable and comfy edges.
Layer #5—High-Density Polyfoam Base: A final layer of dense polyfoam helps to absorb some of the motion from the coils above. It also provides a durable base to support mattress longevity.

How Do the Policies Measure Up?
Shipping & Unboxing
The Casper Hybrid mattress ships as a bed-in-a-box, rolled and compressed, via UPS. Most mattresses arrive in two to five business days from the date you place your order. Shipping is free anywhere in the lower 48 United States and to parts of Canada. Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii is available for an added fee that’s applied at checkout.
Casper mattresses are also available at some third-party retailers and Amazon, and the brand offers same-day delivery in certain parts of New York and Los Angeles.
Unboxing the Casper Hybrid is quick and easy, taking less than two minutes for a typical team of two to unbox it on its frame. It can take a day or two to fully inflate, during which time you may notice a slight off-gassing odor that should be gone within 24 hours.
Warranty
The Casper Hybrid mattress comes with an industry-standard 10-year limited warranty. It covers defects in materials and workmanship but does not cover any damage or issues caused by user error or improper mattress support. Casper recommends that you use a strong, inflexible foundation like an adjustable bed frame, a slatted base with slats spaced no more than 4”, a platform frame, or foundation. A box spring is not considered sturdy enough for optimal longevity.
The Casper warranty covers indentations that are greater than 1”, physical flaws that lead to cracks in the foam, or problems with the zipper that occurred as a result of poor workmanship.
Trial Period & Returns
Customers who purchase the Casper Hybrid get a 100-night sleep trial, per Casper’s return policy. You should always spend some time—30 days or so—getting used to a new mattress before you determine if it works for you. If you decide you want to return the Hybrid, Casper will send a courier to pack it up and take it away at your convenience. They’ll try to donate it to a local charity or recycle it, and you’ll get a full refund.
Addressing Casper Hybrid Mattress Complaints
- Not for Bigger Bodies: The Casper Hybrid doesn’t have thick enough comfort layers for people who weigh more than 300 lbs. Those with heavier body types should check out the best mattresses for heavy people.
- Minimal Body Hug: The Casper Hybrid has a feel that falls between sleeping “on” and “in” the surface. All-foam mattress fans who prefer a deep body hug should look for a softer bed. If you like a more balanced feel, the Casper Hybrid should be a great fit for your comfort preference.
- Not for Firm Mattress Fans: The Casper Hybrid has a softer-than-average medium-firm feel. Sleepers slightly sink in, which isn’t the preferred feel for people who like firm beds.
Comparing Different Casper Mattresses
Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Orignial
| Casper Hybrid Mattress is Best For: | Casper Original Mattress is Best For: |
| Those With Average-Weight Body Types | Those Looking For A Firmer Foam Mattress |
| People With Back Pain | Couples Concerned About Motion Transfer |
| Hot Sleepers | Lightweight & Average-Weight Sleepers |
The Casper Hybrid and Original Casper mattresses have the same comfort layer system, but utilize different materials in their support layers. The Original Casper has a thick layer of durable polyfoam while the Casper Hybrid pairs a layer of pocketed coils with a thin polyfoam base.
The difference in construction makes the Original Casper a tad firmer than the Hybrid, while the Hybrid is cooler and more responsive. Thanks to the zoned memory foam layer, both mattresses work well for all sleeping positions.

Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Wave Hybrid

| Hot Sleepers | Soft Mattress Fans |
| Budget-Conscious Shoppers | Those With Joint Pain |
| Combination Sleepers | Side Sleepers |
The Casper Wave Hybrid is a luxury mattress with a slightly softer feel than the Casper Hybrid. The Wave Hybrid has thicker comfort layers, making it a better choice for heavy people, particularly side sleepers.
While the Wave Hybrid has a more luxurious feel than the Casper Hybrid, both work well for people of every sleeping position and the Casper Hybrid has a lower price point. Both beds are cool with a responsive feel, although the Casper Hybrid is a bit better for people who toss and turn.

Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Nova Hybrid

| Hot Sleepers | Side & Back Sleepers < 230 lbs |
| Combination Sleepers | Memory Foam Fans |
| Back Sleepers | Those With Shoulder or Hip Pain |
The Casper Nova Hybrid is Casper’s softest mattress. With thicker, plusher comfort layers, the Nova Hybrid has a surface that brings superior pressure relief to lightweight side sleepers. The Nova hugs the body more deeply than the Casper Hybrid, which makes it great for people who need added cushion and pressure relief for sensitive joints.
Because the Nova is softer and has thicker foam layers, it’s not as easy to reposition as the Casper Hybrid. Thanks to the ease of movement, the Casper Hybrid tends to be a better pick for combo sleepers who toss and turn a lot.

Comparing Casper to the Competition
Casper Hybrid vs. Purple Hybrid
| Casper Hybrid Mattress is Best For: | Purple Hybrid Mattress is Best For: |
| Couples Concerned About Motion Transfer | Shoppers Looking For A “Floating Sensation” |
| Shoppers Who Want A Balanced Feel | Firmer Mattress Fans |
| Side Sleepers | Back & Stomach Sleepers |
The Purple Hybrid mattress utilizes a polymer gel grid along the top of the mattress that evenly distributes weight. The feel of the Purple Hybrid is unique and has more of a floating sensation than the balanced foam contouring of the Casper Hybrid.
The Purple is firmer than the Casper, although both offer the balanced support needed by back and stomach sleepers. However, the softer feel of the Casper provides better cushion for side sleepers. Neither mattress has the support required by plus-size people, but both are cool and responsive.

Casper Hybrid vs. Leesa Sapira Hybrid
| Casper Hybrid Mattress is Best For: | Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress is Best For: |
| Hot Sleepers | Shoppers looking for a slightly softer feel |
| Budget-Conscious Shoppers | Side & Back Sleepers |
| Combination Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers < 130 lbs |
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid and Casper Hybrid have very similar constructions. Both have a perforated polyfoam comfort layer, a memory foam transition layer, and a pocketed coil support system. Both mattresses have a similar medium to medium-firm firmness level and work well for lightweight and average-weight people of every sleeping position.
Lightweight side sleepers may enjoy the slightly softer feel of the Leesa’s top layer. However, the Casper boasts zoned support in the memory foam layer, which provides excellent spinal support and pressure relief that’s great for people with aches and pains. In addition, the Casper is slightly more affordable than the Leesa.

Casper Hybrid vs. Saatva Classic
| Casper Hybrid Mattress is Best For: | Saatva Classic Mattress is Best For: |
| Budget-Conscious Shoppers | Pillowtop Mattress Fans |
| Those With Average-Weight Body Types | Hot Sleepers |
| Sleepers Who Need Pressure Relief | Those Who Want Firmness Options |
The Saatva Classic is a hybrid bed that comes in three firmness options—Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, and Firm. The Luxury Firm version has a similar firmness as the Casper Hybrid. Because the also Saatva comes in a Softer and Firmer model, it’s the better choice for lightweight side sleepers who need extra cushioning and stomach sleepers who need lots of back support.
The Saatva Classic employs two layers of springs with minimal foam comfort layers. With more generous foam layers, the Casper Hybrid delivers superior pressure relief, while the Saatva has a springier, more supportive feel.

This comforter comes built with an extra layer of merino wool, which is finer and lighter than regular wool. This material is an excellent insulator that will wick moisture, a common culprit for night-time overheating.
