Casper mattresses are known for their balanced comfort, pressure relief, and modern hybrid designs. They combine responsive foams with supportive coils to create an easy, approachable sleep experience that works well for a wide range of sleepers. Casper is especially popular for shoppers looking for dependable comfort, strong reviews, and straightforward value.

Casper organizes its lineup into clear tiers so you can choose the right balance of comfort, support, cooling, and price.

Casper One — Best Value, All-Foam Comfort

Casper One is the entry model, offering dependable all-foam comfort at an accessible price. It delivers a medium-firm feel with pressure-relieving foam and a simple, supportive design.

Best for: Guest rooms, kids’ rooms, budget-focused shoppers, and sleepers who want quality comfort without hybrid or cooling
upgrades.

Casper Dream — More Support & Responsiveness (Hybrid Upgrade)

Casper Dream steps up to hybrid construction with individually wrapped coils, providing better support, added lift, and easier movement compared to all-foam. It offers a balanced, medium feel with improved airflow and stronger edge support.

Best for: Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, couples, and anyone who prefers a slightly more supportive, responsive mattress.

Casper Snow — Cooling Hybrid with Temperature Control

Casper Snow builds on the Dream’s hybrid support but adds advanced cooling materials, including enhanced airflow and specialty foams designed to help regulate temperature throughout the night.

Best for: Hot sleepers or anyone who wants noticeable cooling without sacrificing support.

Max Versions (Dream Max & Snow Max) — More Height, More Comfort, More Luxury

The Max models elevate each base mattress with:

• A taller, more substantial profile
• Additional premium comfort layers
• Deeper pressure relief
• A more luxurious, cushioned feel
• Dream Max = the most supportive and comfortable non-cooling Casper
• Snow Max= the coolest and most premium Casper, combining maximum cooling with maximum comfort

Best for: Side sleepers needing extra pressure relief, shoppers wanting a more plush
feel, or anyone looking for a luxury upgrade.

TL;DR

Best value: Casper One

Best support: Casper Dream / Dream Max

Best cooling: Casper Snow / Snow Max

Most premium overall: Dream Max or Snow Max

Side sleepers often prefer models with more contouring foam and pressure relief:
Look at Casper Dream Max or Snow with plush, body-cradling comfort. These have softer, conforming layers that help cushion shoulders and hips.

Back sleepers usually do well with medium-firm support that keeps the spine aligned: Medium-firm hybrid models like Casper Dream or Casper One (all-foam medium-firm) provide balanced support and pressure relief without too much sinkage.

Stomach sleepers benefit from firmer support and responsive layers to keep hips lifted: Firmer or balanced support hybrids like Casper Dream or Snow Hybrid variants give the responsiveness and support needed to prevent the midsection from dipping.


If you are unsure, our Sleep Experts can match you to the right feel — whether
you lean toward the value-focused One, the balanced Dream, or the cooling Snow.

Yes — cooling is a key feature, especially in the Snow line. For example, the Snow mattress uses “Snow Technology” with Phase Change Materials and HeatDelete™ Bands to remove excess heat and keep you cooler all night.

If you tend to sleep hot, the Snow (or Snow Max) is your best bet; the One and Dream are more standard in cooling.

Casper hybrids provide consistent support and pressure relief that can help reduce stress on the lower back and hips. The coil system supports spinal alignment, while the foam layers cushion pressure points — making them a solid choice for everyday back support.

Casper uses high-density foams and individually wrapped coils (in hybrid models) designed for long-term performance. Independent testing shows the Dream scored well in durability and support.

That said, proper support base, correct size frame, and rotating (if applicable) help maximize lifespan.

Casper mattresses are built with thoughtfully layered materials designed to balance comfort, support, and durability. The exact construction varies by model, but most Casper mattresses include the following core components:

Comfort & Pressure-Relief Foams: Casper uses high-quality polyurethane foams, including responsive comfort foam and contouring memory foam. These layers help relieve pressure at the shoulders and hips while maintaining a balanced, supportive feel rather than a “stuck-in” sensation.

Zoned Support Foam: Many Casper mattresses feature Zoned Support™, meaning the foam is firmer in the center (under the hips and lower back) and softer at the shoulders. This design promotes healthier spinal alignment and more even weight distribution.

Hybrid Coil Systems (Hybrid Models Only): In hybrid models like Dream and Snow, Casper adds individually wrapped steel coils. These provide:

• Enhanced support and durability
• Better airflow for temperature regulation
• Easier movement and stronger edge support

Cooling Materials (Snow Line): Casper Snow and Snow Max mattresses include advanced cooling materials, such as: Phase Change Materials that absorb and release heat and HeatDelete™ Bands designed to pull heat away from the body. These layers help regulate temperature throughout the night.

Support Core: All Casper mattresses include a dense, durable base foam layer that stabilizes the mattress and helps maintain long-term shape and performance.

Cover Materials: Casper covers are made from soft, breathable knit fabrics designed to enhance airflow and comfort. Some models include removable or enhanced cooling covers depending on the tier.

Absolutely. The hybrid models (Dream, Snow) are very compatible with adjustable bases thanks to their flexible coil/foam construction. Even the all-foam One works well. If you’re buying a split-king configuration or adjustable base, ask our Sleep Experts about the right mattress height and foundation for best performance.

Casper Dream — Balanced Hybrid Support

Casper Dream is the core hybrid mattress, combining foam comfort with pocketed coils for lift, airflow, and responsiveness. It offers a medium feel that works for most sleepers.

Best for: Back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers.

Casper Dream Max — More Cushion & Comfort

Dream Max builds on the Dream with extra comfort layers and a taller profile, creating deeper pressure relief and a slightly plusher feel.

Best for: Side sleepers or anyone who wants a more luxurious, cushioned hybrid.

Casper Snow — Cooling Hybrid

Snow adds advanced cooling technology to the hybrid design, helping pull heat away while maintaining balanced support.

Best for: Hot sleepers who want cooling without going ultra-plush.

Casper Snow Max — Maximum Cooling & Luxury

Snow Max is the most premium hybrid, with the most cooling materials, deeper cushioning, and a taller profile.

Best for: Very hot sleepers or those who want the most plush, cooling Casper offers.

Budget foam option: Casper One 

All mattresses need a foundation of some sort. This will support your mattress as it supports you! It doesn’t necessarily need to be a box spring, though. You can also pair your Casper mattress with an adjustable bed base.

Casper is headquartered in New York City. Foam for their mattresses are poured in facilities in Georgia and Pennsylvania. The skirting, top and bottom fabrics are made in North Carolina.

Casper mattresses come in a range of thicknesses depending on the model you choose — from everyday foam beds to premium hybrid builds:

Standard Foam & Entry Models

Casper One – ~11″ thick (all-foam)

Core Hybrid Models

Casper Dream / Casper Snow – ~12″ thick (hybrid foam + coils)

Premium / Plush Hybrid Models

• Casper Dream Max – ~13.5–14″ thick (enhanced comfort layers)
• Casper Snow Max – ~14″ thick (maximum cooling + plush feel)

With proper support and care, Casper hybrid mattresses typically last7–10 years. The combination of durable foams and pocketed coils helps maintain comfort and structure over time.

The all-foam construction of the Casper mattress allows it to isolate motion very well, and the two-layer comfort system absorbs movement. The polyfoam top layer has a slightly bouncy feel while reducing motion transfer, and the layer of memory foam further absorbs the motion. This strong motion isolation might reduce nighttime disturbances when your partner moves around on the mattress, which may be particularly important for sleepers who wake up easily.

Casper is generally medium-firm to slightly firmer than many foam brands, with a balanced feel that suits a ide range of sleepers. Most Casper foam and hybrid models land around 6–7/10 on the firmness scale (where 1 is softest and 10 is firmest).

Compared to Other Mattress Brands

Compared with memory foam brands like Tempur-Pedic:

• Casper mattresses (e.g., Casper Original Foam Mattress or Casper One Mattress) are often slightly firmer than Tempur-Pedic models, which can feel softer and more contouring.
• This means Casper feels a bit more supportive and less “hug-heavy,” which some sleepers prefer for easier movement and spinal alignment.

Compared with hybrid competitors:

• Casper hybrid models like Casper Dream Mattress or Casper Snow Mattress tend to have medium-firm support similar to mid-range hybrid beds (like Amerisleep, Helix, or DreamCloud).
• They feel more supportive and responsive than very soft hybrids but not as firm as extra-firm innerspring hybrids. This makes them versatile for most sleep positions and body types.

Compared with memory foam mattresses like Purple or Nectar:

• Casper’s medium-firm feel is similar to many Purple and Nectar models, but Casper often feels a bit bouncier and more responsive (less “deep sink”).
• Purple’s grid or gel foams can feel softer or more adaptive, while Casper keeps a balanced support feel.

Quick Takeaways

• Medium-firm comfort: Casper mattresses are typically around 6–7/10 firmness, making them balanced and versatile.
• More responsive than memory foam: You’ll feel less “stuck in” than on softer memory foam beds like some Tempur-Pedic or Nectar options.
• Similar to mid-range hybrids: Casper hybrids feel comparable to other medium-firm hybrid mattresses

Bottom line: Casper is usually a bit firmer, responsive, and supportive compared with soft all-foam brands, but still comfortably medium-firm — making it a good “middle ground” choice for many sleepers.

Memory foam mattresses, including Casper mattresses, typically take up to 72 hours to expand fully. However, once you take your Casper mattress out of the box, it will expand and be ready to use in minutes.

A Casper mattress is typically delivered soon after ordering when stock allows, and City Mattress offers in-home setup and delivery for a convenient experience. If you choose standard shipping, the mattress will arrive compressed in a box, and you’ll need to unroll it and allow it to expand to its full size, which can take from a few hours to a few days. Once the mattress has expanded, simply place it on your bed frame, add bedding and enjoy your new Casper mattress.

Yes. Casper mattresses — including the Dream Hybrid and Snow Max Hybrid — are compressed, rolled, and shipped in a box for easier delivery and setup. Once unboxed, the mattress expands to its full shape, usually within 24–48 hours. 

Yes. At City Mattress, you can test-rest Casper mattresses in store and get guidance from experienced Experts. This allows you to feel the difference between models and comfort levels before you buy — something you don’t get with online-only brands.

The Casper Dream Hybrid offers balanced comfort and support at a more accessible price point, making it a great everyday option. The Snow Max Hybrid adds advanced cooling features, thicker comfort layers, and a more premium feel — ideal for hot sleepers or anyone looking for elevated performance. 

Yes — cooling is a key differentiator, especially in the Snow line. Casper designs its lineup so cooling increases as you move up the tiers.

Casper Snow & Snow Max — Advanced Cooling Performance

The Snow models are engineered specifically for hot sleepers. They feature Snow Technology, which includes Phase Change Materials and HeatDelete™ Bands that actively pull excess heat away from the body to help maintain a cooler sleep surface throughout the night.

• Snow offers cooling with a balanced, medium feel
• Snow Max adds more height, deeper cushioning, and maximum cooling performance

Best for: Hot sleepers, warm climates, or anyone who overheats at night.

Casper Dream — Standard Cooling With Hybrid Airflow

Casper Dream provides natural cooling through hybrid construction, allowing airflow through the coil system. While it sleeps cooler than traditional all-foam mattresses, it does not include the advanced cooling materials found in the Snow line.

Best for: Sleepers who want balanced comfort and support without specialized cooling.

Casper One — Basic Temperature Neutral Comfort

Casper One is an all-foam mattress with standard, temperature-neutral foams. It does not include active cooling technology but performs well for sleepers who do not typically sleep hot.

Best for: Budget-focused shoppers, guest rooms, and sleepers who don’t need added cooling features.

TL;DR

• Best cooling: Snow / Snow Max
• Moderate, natural cooling: Dream
• Standard cooling: One
• If you sleep hot: Choose Snow or Snow Max
• If temperature isn’t a concern: Dream or One will work well

Casper mattresses are designed with breathability in mind. Hybrid construction allows airflow through the coil system, while cooling foams and specialized covers help regulate temperature. The Snow and Snow Max models offer the strongest cooling performance. 

Yes. Casper hybrid mattresses are compatible with adjustable bases, allowing you to elevate your head or legs for added comfort, relaxation, or recovery.

Casper offers modern hybrid design,strong pressurerelief, and convenient boxed delivery at approachable price points. When paired with in-store testing and expert guidance at City Mattress, Casper becomes an easy, confident choice for shoppers who want comfort without overcomplicating the decision.
