Casper Nova Hybrid Highlights

✅ Pros

• Cooling: Made with breathable foam and a system of innerspring coils, the Casper Nova Hybrid keeps you cool by allowing body heat to flow out of the mattress.
• Set-Up: This mattress was pretty easy to set up and let off minimal off-gassing.
• Durability: The materials in the Nova Hybrid are likely to last for a long time, allowing you to keep this mattress for awhile.

❌ Cons

• Off-Gassing: There may be a slight off-gassing smell when you unbox the Nova Hybrid. This is a bed-in-a-box norm and should go away after a few hours of airing out.
• Edge Support: Though this bed supports your full body just fine, the plush layers don’t really lend themselves to great edge support. Steer clear if you’re an edge sleeper.
• Pressure Relief: While the Casper Nova Hybrid provided excellent pressure relief for those that sleep on their back, it had a lot of pressure buildup when our testers went on their sides.

Responsiveness

Are you the type of person who goes to sleep in one position and wakes up in another? If so, you are classified as a combination sleeper, so you need a bed with good responsiveness and the Nova Hybrid delivers.

During our test, we lay on the bed and then shifted into different positions to see how quickly the mattress responded. The Nova Hybrid allowed us to get comfortable fairly quickly.

Pressure Relief

The pressure relief test was interesting. We use a pressure map to get an accurate read on how the Casper Nova Hybrid eases pressure in sensitive areas such as shoulders, hips, and the lower back.

When we lay on our back, Nova Hybrid did a pretty good job at easing pressure in the lower back. But it was a different story on our sides and upper back. We saw a bit of red in the shoulder and hips, meaning you may wake a bit achy in these areas.

Spine Alignment

What the Nova Hybrid lacks in pressure relief, it makes up for with nearly a perfect score in spinal alignment. As you can see in the photo below, the zoned support really kicks in when we lay on our sides. The spine is almost completely straight, meaning you won’t wake up with back pain from your mattress.

How Firm Is the Mattress?

The Nova Hybrid is about a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it a plush mattress, the firmness side sleepers love. This firmness isn’t too plus for back or combination sleepers however.

What Sleeping Position Fits the Nova Hybrid?

Casper Nova Hybrid works for most types of sleepers:

• Side sleepers will enjoy how the plush foam and zoned support keeps their spines straight, but those who are sensitive to pressure on their hips and shoulders should look for a different mattress for side sleepers.
• The pocketed coil layer adds responsiveness that makes this a good bed for combination sleepers.
• This is a great mattress for back sleepers who will get the most out of the pressure relieving foam.
• Stomach sleepers need a medium to firm mattress, so this may not be the bed for them. Check our stomach sleeper mattress recommendations for better options.

Does the Casper Nova Hybrid Mattress Sleep Hot?

Because the Nova Hybrid is made with open-cell, breathable foam and pocketed coils, it sleeps cool. This amount of airflow that gets through the mattress allows body heat to escape rather than get trapped. It even scored a 9 out of 10 in our cooling evaluation.

Can It Support Your Body Type?

The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress does not have a specific weight limit, but looking at plush firmness and durable materials, we think it will support the average sleeper.

What Foundations Work Best?

The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress works best with a flat and firm foundation, including a slatted platform (no more than 4” apart) and a platform bed frame.

What’s Inside?

The Casper Nova Hybrid mattress is made up of three foam layers and supportive coils:

Is the Casper Nova Hybrid for You?

Okay, it’s time to determine if the Casper Nova Hybrid is the bed you should take home. If you fit one or more of the following criteria, the answer is yes:

• You toss and turn at night
• You like the feeling of a bed with springs
• You wake up with back pain
• You sleep hot

However, the Casper Nova Hybrid probably isn’t the mattress for you if you sit on the edge of the bed to get ready frequently or you want something firmer. If you fall into either of these categories, we recommend the Layla mattress. This bed has both a firm and a soft side and scored a 9 out of 10 in out edge support test.

Compare the Nova Hybrid to Casper

You’re probably wondering how it stacks up to Casper’s other mattresses. The Nova Hybrid is the most plush out of the eight beds, meaning the spine alignment is best for side sleepers. If you are a stomach sleeper or a back sleeper, the Wave Hybrid may be the Casper mattress you want to check out.
