Firmness and Feel Differences
Both mattresses are responsive and return to shape quickly, but Leesa is firmer while Casper Element is more soft and elastic. Check out the videos below to see the firmness and feel differences in action.Motion Transfer Differences
Casper Element has an edge in preventing motion transfer, because it is softer than Leesa.Pick Casper Element If …
- You are on a budget- Casper Element costs between about $200 and $300 less than Leesa (depending on size).
- You are light and sleep on your side- Casper Element is softer and thinner, which means it will provide better support for side sleepers who are looking for something that conforms to their contours; it also means the mattress can only support so much weight. The mattress is a good option for children and relatively small adults.
Pick Leesa If …
- You sleep on your stomach or back. Leesa is firmer and more supportive, potentially making it more appropriate for stomach and back sleepers.
- You weigh more. Leesa is thicker and can support more weight, so heavier sleepers will find it to be a better fit.
