Casper Hybrid Mattress Review – How Does It Compare To The Original?

Casper is one of the most popular online mattress brands around, and for good reason. The brand offers a number of quality bed-in-a-box mattresses to suit different sleep styles and preferences. The Casper Hybrid mattress is one of three hybrid offerings from Casper.

The Casper Hybrid features a combination of breathable foams over pocketed coils. Will this balanced hybrid help folks snooze comfortably all night long? Read our unbiased review to find out!

Casper Hybrid Mattress Overview

The Casper Hybrid features a complex construction that layers multiple types of foam over pocketed coils. The foams create a Zoned Support system that’s firmer near the middle of the bed (to support the hips and spine) and softer near the head and foot (to relieve pressure). The end result is a responsive, supportive, and comfortable mattress.

This versatile mattress could suit several types of sleepers, but it won’t be a match for everyone. Here’s an overview of who might like the Casper Hybrid and who might not.

Who Might Like The Casper Hybrid?

• Back sleepers who are looking for a balance of comfort and support
• Hot sleepers who are looking for a mattress that sleeps cool
• Folks who like a balanced foam feel that mixes pressure relief with responsive support

Who Might Not Like The Casper Hybrid?

• Heavier side sleepers, who might find that the mattress feels too firm to relieve pressure around the shoulder or hip
• Folks who don’t need the support of coils, since they can save money by looking at the all-foam original Casper
• Folks who like a slow-moving memory foam feel, since this mattress is bouncier and more responsive than classic memory foam

Casper Hybrid Mattress Firmness and Feel (Including Firmness Rating)

When shopping for a new mattress, it’s critical to assess a bed’s firmness and feel. These factors say a lot about which kinds of sleepers are best matched to a particular bed. Let’s take a look at what it’s like to sleep on top of the Casper Hybrid!

How Firm is the Casper Hybrid?

We ranked the Casper Hybrid around a 7/10 on the firmness scale. The industry standard for medium firmness is 6.5/10, so this suggests the Casper Hybrid is a touch firmer than medium-firm.

That said, because of the Zoned Support system, this bed’s firmness might vary depending on a person’s sleep position. For instance, some people might find that the mattress feels softer while side sleeping and firmer when stomach or back sleeping.

A sleeper’s perception of this bed’s firmness will also vary a bit depending on their body weight. For instance, heavier-weight side sleepers might find the Casper Hybrid feels firmer to them than it does to lighter-weight side sleepers. So while our firmness assessment can serve as a general guidepost, keep in mind that firmness is a bit subjective.

Sleeping On the Casper Hybrid (Sleeping Positions)

We felt both comfortable and supported while back sleeping on the Casper Hybrid mattress. Our hips sank in just a little bit for some pressure relief, but they still felt elevated enough to remain in line with the spine and create neutral spinal alignment. We also felt great lumbar support from the Zoned Support system and great overall support from the pocketed coils.

Moving to our side, we enjoyed some pressure relief around the hip. Lighter-weight sleepers should experience even better pressure relief in this position.

While stomach sleeping on the Casper Hybrid, we generally felt well-supported. The pocketed coils and the foams’ Zoned Support system helped elevate our hips and keep them aligned with the spine.

What Does the Casper Hybrid Feel Like?

The Casper Hybrid mattress has a very bouncy, responsive foam feel, which makes it easy to move around on top of the mattress. Additionally, the Zoned Support system creates a firmer feel near the center of the mattress and a softer feel near the head and foot.

Average Weight Sleepers – 130lbs – 230lbs

In general, the Casper Hybrid should be a decent match for average-weight sleepers regardless of sleep position. It balances spinal support with pressure relief while back sleeping, offers a touch of pressure relief for side sleepers, and should be supportive enough for average-weight stomach sleepers.

Heavyweight Sleepers – Over 230lbs

The Casper Hybrid could be well-matched to back sleepers who are close to 230 pounds. Folks who weigh much more than that might require a more supportive mattress overall. In general, heavyweight side sleepers will probably want a mattress with a softer, thicker comfort layer in order to obtain adequate pressure relief. The Casper Hybrid is probably not supportive enough for heavyweight stomach sleepers.

Lightweight Sleepers – Under 130lbs

The Casper Hybrid should be a quality match for all types of lightweight sleepers. It balances comfort and support for back sleepers, provides adequate pressure relief for most lightweight side sleepers, and is supportive enough to promote spinal alignment for lightweight stomach sleepers.

Casper Hybrid Mattress Construction

Now that we’ve reviewed the Casper Hybrid’s firmness and feel, let’s take a closer look at the bed’s construction. We’ll detail the components of the Casper Hybrid mattress and assess some of the ways in which this construction impacts the bed’s performance.

Cover

The Casper Hybrid features a soft and very breathable cover that’s made from recycled bottles.

Comfort Layers

The top comfort layer on the Casper Hybrid is made from Casper’s proprietary Airscape foam, which is perforated to allow for airflow. This layer is both plush and responsive, and it gives the mattress some bounce.

Below the Airscape foam layer is the primary distinguishing feature of the Casper Hybrid: its Zoned Support system. This system is constructed from a layer of memory foam that is firmer near the center and softer around the head and foot of the mattress. The point of this layer is to create a firmer, more supportive feel for back and stomach sleepers while offering side sleepers some pressure relief around the shoulder.

Support Layer

Underneath the Casper Hybrid’s foam comfort layers, there’s a support layer made from pocketed coils. This layer sets the Casper Hybrid apart from the original Casper, which is made exclusively from foam and doesn’t include coils. The coils also allow for additional airflow through the mattress.

Mattress Height

The Casper Hybrid mattress is 11″ tall.

Casper Hybrid Mattress Performance

Alright, we’ve assessed the Casper Hybrid’s firmness, feel, and construction. Now let’s take a closer look at this bed’s performance. We evaluated the Casper Hybrid with regard to motion transfer, edge support, temperature regulation, and more. Let’s see how it did!

Sleeping Hot Or Cold

The Casper Hybrid does a nice job of sleeping cool thanks to its breathable cover, the perforated and breathable Airscape foam, and the coils, which allow for even more airflow through the mattress.

Motion Transfer

Even though the Casper Hybrid is a fairly bouncy mattress, it performs pretty well when it comes to motion transfer. The foams in the comfort layers do a decent job of absorbing motion, so this could be a viable option for couples who don’t want to disturb each other during the night. Make sure to take a look at our best mattresses for couples.

Edge Support

While lying down on the Casper Hybrid, we felt pretty supported near the edge. However, we didn’t feel very secure while sitting on the edge of this bed. Overall, the edge support on the Casper Hybrid is just okay.

Durability

This is a fairly durable mattress that should last for at least 7 years. The coils make the Casper Hybrid more durable than many all-foam mattresses.

Off-Gassing

We did notice some off-gassing when we first received the Casper Hybrid. This should dissipate within a few days.

Noise

Even though the Casper Hybrid includes coils in its construction, this doesn’t seem to be a noisy mattress. We didn’t observe any notable noise.

Sex

When people seek out a mattress for sex, they’re usually concerned about whether they’ll feel stuck in the mattress. Based on that consideration, the Casper Hybrid should be a good fit for sex. The coils and foams are responsive, and it’s easy to move around on top of the mattress.

Casper Company Policies

You should always understand the company policies before making a purchase decision.

Warranty

The Casper Hybrid mattress comes with a 10-year limited warranty. You can learn more about the warranty on Casper’s website.

Sleep Trial

The Casper Hybrid comes with a 100-night sleep trial. This allows enough time to see if the mattress is a good fit for your sleep habits.

Return Policy

If you decide you don’t like the Casper Hybrid mattress, you can return it for a full refund during your 100-night sleep trial. Customers may return a maximum of two items of the same product type.

How Does Casper Hybrid Compare To Other Mattresses?

Anyone who’s considering the Casper Hybrid mattress has probably taken a peek at Casper’s other offerings. So let’s see how the Casper Hybrid stacks up against the original Casper and the Casper Wave Hybrid.

Casper Hybrid Vs Casper Original

The main difference between the original Casper and the Casper Hybrid comes down to the support layer. The original Casper is an all-foam mattress that uses high-density foam in its support layer, while the Casper Hybrid incorporates pocketed coils for more bounciness and support.

In spite of their major construction difference, the Casper and Casper Hybrid are approximately the same in terms of firmness. We ranked both mattresses around a 7/10.

Because the Casper Hybrid features pocketed coils and a more complex construction overall, it costs more than the all-foam Casper mattress. The Casper Hybrid costs approximately $200 more for a Queen size.

Who Should Get The Casper Hybrid?

• Hot sleepers who need a mattress that sleeps cool
• Folks who need more support, such as stomach sleepers or heavier-weight back sleepers

Who Should Get The Original All-Foam Casper?

• Those who want to save some money
• Light- and medium-weight sleepers who don’t require the support of coils

Learn more about these compare in our Casper vs Casper Hybrid review

Casper Hybrid Vs Casper Wave Hybrid

As with the original Casper, the biggest difference between the Casper Hybrid and the Casper Wave comes down to construction. The Casper Hybrid has two layers in its comfort layer, including one layer with Zoned Support. The Wave Hybrid has a more complex construction with five layers total and two layers of more advanced zoning.

When it comes to firmness, the Casper Wave Hybrid is softer than the Casper Hybrid. We ranked the Wave Hybrid around 6.5/10 (or right at medium-firm) and the Casper Hybrid at 7/10.

Sleepers will pay for the more advanced construction on the Wave Hybrid. It’s around twice the price of the Casper Hybrid.

Who Should Get The Casper Hybrid?

• Those who are looking to save money on a hybrid mattress
• Sleepers who don’t need quite so much zoning
• Lighter-weight sleepers who don’t need as much support

Who Should Get The Wave Hybrid?

• Folks who want a more luxury mattress
• Sleepers who need more zoning
• Larger folks who will benefit from the Wave Hybrid’s enhanced support
