Casper Hybrid Mattress Review

Quick summary: The Casper Hybrid is one of the highest-performing mattresses we’ve ever tested. It impressed us with a mixture of plush contouring and springy support that kept our testers’ bodies perfectly aligned. With its balanced feel, the Casper Hybrid is an excellent mattress for most sleepers.  

Who Is the Casper Hybrid Mattress Best for?

Casper Hybrid Mattress Review Highlights

Our favorite things:

• Our sleep testers felt support and cushion in all of the right places. This impressively balanced feel is thanks to the Casper Hybrid’s Zoned Support™ memory foam layer. With firmer foam along the lower back and hips and softer foam at the shoulders, the Casper Hybrid provides nearly perfect spine alignment. Plus, you won’t feel excess pressure at your hips or shoulders if you sleep on your side. 
• The Casper Hybrid earned outstanding scores in responsiveness, motion transfer, and edge support. It’s these 3 factors that tell us how good a mattress is for couples. The Casper Hybrid is easy to move around on, but you won’t feel your partner’s movements. Its sturdy edges allow you to spread out comfortably.  
• It’s one of our top-rated hybrid mattresses here at Mattress Advisor!

Mattress Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Responsiveness: Our sleep testers were able to seamlessly change from one position to the next, never feeling stuck. If you move around much at night, tossing and turning to get comfortable, a responsive mattress helps you switch it up without waking.
• Motion isolation: The Casper Hybrid is one of the best hybrid beds that we’ve tested when it comes to dampening motion. If you share your bed and find yourself waking at your partner’s every move, the Casper Hybrid could help you get better sleep. 
• Spine alignment: Posture is equally as important when sleeping as when awake. The thing is, you have less control over it. The Casper Hybrid is one of the best mattresses for aches and pains because it does a phenomenal job keeping the spine aligned—our sleep testers had nearly perfect spine alignment when lying on the Casper.  

❌ Cons

• While the Casper Hybrid offers exceptional support for sleepers in the light-to-average-weight categories, plus-size sleepers are better suited by a thicker, more supportive mattress. Check out the Casper Wave hybrid, if you weigh more than 230 pounds. 
• The Casper Hybrid doesn’t offer the same level of pressure relief as the Casper Original mattress. If you’re a side sleeper who needs extra give at your pressure points, you may want to opt for the Original Casper mattress.

Spine Alignment

All body parts are not created equal. Some areas of the body need more support than others. The Zoned Support™ layer that you’ll find in the Casper Hybrid targeted support to different regions of the body. The Casper Hybrid is built with softer foam under the shoulders to help cradle pressure points and firmer foam under the hips to keep your spine in alignment.

The Casper Hybrid did a phenomenal job keeping the spines of our tester aligned. There was only a slight upward curve towards the base of the neck.

Responsiveness

The Casper Hybrid crushed the Mattress Advisor responsiveness test – it scored a 9.5. When you think about mattress shopping and determining what mattress feels “comfortable” to you, that’s responsiveness.

How well a mattress adapts and contours to changes in your body position while you sleep directly impacts how quickly you will become comfortable enough to fall asleep. The Casper Hybrid proved in our mattress testing it offers first class comfort by scoring so highly in our responsiveness test.

Motion Transfer

If you sleep with a partner or a pet, you don’t want to wake up every time they move around during the night. That’s why motion transfer control is so critical to a good night’s sleep.

The Casper Hybrid scored a solid 9 for our motion isolation score, meaning you can sleep on this mattress without being disturbed by your bed partners. Want to see for yourself? Check out our wine test video below.

Is the Casper Hybrid Firm?

The Casper Hybrid is a medium firmness mattress, rating a 5 on the 1-10 firmness scale. What’s unique about the feel of the Casper Hybrid is that some areas are softer and others firmer thanks to the zoned memory foam layer. As such, the feel is one of plush give at the shoulders and supportive contouring at the hips.

Does It Match Different Types of Sleepers?

Side Sleepers

The Casper Hybrid is a great choice for side sleepers. Our sleep testers of every weight found the Casper Hybrid comfortable when on their sides thanks to ample cushion at the pressure points. Its Zoned Support™ foam cradles the shoulders while keeping the hips supported so they’re in alignment with the spine.

Back Sleepers

Our testers also found the Casper Hybrid comfortable and supportive when lying on their backs. Back sleepers need a mattress that offers support and contour in equal measure to keep the spine in a neutral position. The support is what holds up your spine and neck, while the contour is what allows your bum and other curvy parts to rest peacefully. The Casper Hybrid offers these qualities in tandem, making it a good choice for those who sleep on their back.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers are more difficult to accommodate for, but the Casper Hybrid does. Stomach sleepers need a mattress with a soft, more responsive top to keep pressure off the pelvis, chest, and shoulders. However, they also need a mattress that is firm and supportive enough to keep their spine aligned rather than arched. The Casper Hybrid offers both superior contour and support to take care of stomach sleepers.

Combination Sleepers

Combination sleepers often have a tough time finding a suitable mattress. They need a bed that works for every sleep position that they use, while also being easy to move around on. The Casper Hybrid is one of the best mattresses that we’ve tested for combination sleepers. It works for every sleeping position and it’s incredibly responsive. Most of our testers found every position comfortable, and it quickly adjusted when they changed positions.

How Well Does It Regulate Temperature?

The Casper Hybrid is a relatively cool hybrid bed, earning an 8.5/10 for its cooling properties. A top layer of perforated Airscape foam is ultra-breathable, while the support layer of innerspring coils dissipates built-up body heat. Taken together, the combination is enough to keep most hot sleepers from overheating. 

However, the Casper isn’t as cool as some hybrid or innerspring mattresses. It does have memory foam, which is known to hold on to body heat. So if you sleep incredibly hot, you may want to consider one of our picks for the best mattresses for hot sleepers.

Does It Support Heavier People?

The Casper Hybrid works for most body types thanks to the system of innerspring coils that can support more weight than memory foam alone.

Best Foundations for the Casper Hybrid

The Casper Hybrid mattress will work with all standard foundations. As with most mattresses, make sure you have as much direct support under the mattress as possible. A wooden slatted foundation or adjustable frame tends to offer the most support for Casper mattresses. Casper recommends that you use something sturdier than a box spring as older box springs don’t offer sufficient support.

The Inner Layers

The engineers behind the Casper Hybrid mattress explored what would happen if they added a pocket-coil spring system to the original Casper all-foam mattress. Needless to say, they struck gold with this combination. 

The Casper Hybrid mattress is made with 3 premium layers of foam and bouncy springs. Here’s what each layer is made from and a breakdown of how it influences the sleeping experience.

What’s Setup Like?

Casper is a bed-in-a-box mattress brand, and therefore, every new mattress from Casper arrives at your doorstep compressed in a box. With every Casper mattress that we’ve tested, including the Casper Hybrid, unboxing has been a breeze. Simply carry the box to your final destination and unroll the Casper on its foundation. 

The Casper Hybrid puffed up to life within just a few hours, and the off-gassing odor faded in a similar timeframe. You can expect your mattress to be ready to sleep on within a day or two of arrival, if not the same day.

Casper will work with a local charity to schedule a pickup. Once the bed has been picked up, you’ll receive a refund in 1-3 business days.

Reasons to Buy or Not Buy the Casper Hybrid

The Casper Hybrid mattress is an excellent bed at a competitive price point. Few other mattresses have scored as highly at the Mattress Advisor mattress lab, meaning that the Casper truly excels across the board. With a plush top layer, zoned memory foam, and pocket coils, you’d be hard-pressed to find a mattress better at keeping the body properly aligned. 

While the Casper mattress works for every sleeping position, it’s best for those who prefer a somewhat soft feel. As a medium firmness mattress, it won’t be firm enough for sleepers who like a firm bed. Check out the Saatva mattress; we think it might be a better fit.

To other hybrid mattresses

The Casper Hybrid is one of the highest scoring hybrid mattresses that we’ve tested in the mattress lab—and we’ve tested hundreds of mattresses. With an 8/10 or higher in every test that determines comfort and sleep experience, it’s one of the best mattresses that you can buy. Not only is the Casper Hybrid an exceptional mattress, but it comes at an affordable price point. 

However, the Casper Hybrid isn’t the hybrid mattress that’s best for everyone. In particular, the Casper is softer and thinner than most hybrid beds. If you’re someone who weighs over 230 pounds or if you prefer a firmer mattress, check out our other top hybrid mattresses to find one that will work better for your needs. 

To other Casper mattresses

We’ve written an article comparing each of the Casper mattresses to help our readers find their best fit. As a summary, the Casper Hybrid is the highest performing Casper mattress that we’ve tested. And that’s saying something as each one has scored quite highly. 

When compared to Casper’s 2 memory foam mattresses—the Original Casper and the Casper Element—the Casper Hybrid offers better spine alignment and cooling abilities. It’s also slightly more supportive and a bit softer. 

Casper manufactures 2 additional hybrid mattresses. The Casper Hybrid is the most affordable Casper hybrid bed, but it’s thinner than both the Casper Nova and Casper Wave hybrids. As such, the Nova and Wave are better for sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds. 

The Casper Wave has a similar medium firmness level and the Casper Hybrid, but with more generous comfort layers, it’s better for side sleepers who desire extra cushion. The Wave is also slightly cooler than the Casper, making it excellent for hot sleepers.

The Casper Nova is softer than the Casper Hybrid. While most sleepers will prefer the medium firmness of the Casper Hybrid, those who like a more cloudlike feel should consider the Nova. However, the Nova doesn’t have very sturdy edges, so if you sleep along the sides of the bed, the Casper Hybrid is a better choice.
