Editor’s Note: Shortages in the supply chain have created production limitations for the foreseeable future in some Casper products. Thank you for understanding.

Final Impression: The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress is a luxury mattress that combines the pressure relief of an all-foam mattress with the springy support of an innerspring bed. It excelled across the board during our testing, making it an excellent choice for most sleepers, including couples, hot sleepers, and those with back pain.

Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress Review Highlights

What Makes The Casper Wave Hybrid Stand Out:

• The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress is the end result of five years of collecting customer feedback on what sleepers want in a mattress. The final product, the Wave Hybrid, combines the contouring of memory foam, buoyancy of latex foam, and responsiveness of pocketed coils—the trifecta of restful sleep.
• The Wave Hybrid takes ergonomic support to the next level. Two foam layers containing variable support zones and individually encased coils combine to keep the body aligned while easing pain at pressure points. With this technology, it may not come as a surprise that the Wave scored incredibly well at our in-house lab for pressure relief and spine alignment.
• Our sleep testers found the Wave Hybrid to offer outstanding responsiveness, motion isolation, cooling, and edge support. These attributes combine for a nearly perfect mattress for couples.
• Casper offers free shipping and free returns in concert with their 100-night sleep trial, so there’s zero risk to trying the Wave in the comfort of your bedroom.

Mattress Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Responsiveness: This responsive feel is thanks to bouncy innerspring coils and a responsive latex layer that readily adapt to movement. Combination sleepers and those who toss and turn do best sleeping on a responsive mattress.
• Spine Alignment: Keeping your spine in a straight line is critical for a good night’s sleep and fewer aches and pains come morning. Our sleep testers experienced almost perfect spine alignment, which can help relieve back pain.
• Motion Transfer: We tested the Casper Hybrid’s ability to dampen motion using two tests and were impressed by how well it isolated motion.
• Customer Experience: Casper is committed to customer satisfaction. With free shipping and free returns during the 100-night sleep trial, you don’t have to keep your new mattress unless you love it.

❌ Cons

• Cost: The Casper Wave is a luxury hybrid mattress, and as such, it may be out of the price range for budget-conscious shoppers.
• Off-Gassing: We experienced an off-gassing odor when we first unboxed the Casper Wave Hybrid. Fortunately, it dissipated in just a few hours.
• Firmness Level: The Wave Hybrid is a medium firmness, which is best only for those who enjoy a plush feel. Those who prefer a medium-firm to firm mattress will find the Wave too soft.

Motion Transfer

Do you sleep with a partner, or even a pet? If so, your mattress’s ability to control motion transfer is key to your sleep. A mattress that’s not-so-great at controlling motion will lead you to wake up every time your sleeping partner tosses, turns, or gets up for a late-night bathroom run. But with the Casper Wave Hybrid, you’ll be able to sleep soundly all night long. One of the ways we test this is with our wine test. Take a look at the video below to see how still the wine stays when Amanda moves around on the bed.

Stellar Spine Alignment

Keeping your spine in a straight line is critical to a good night’s sleep. With the combination of comforting foam and supportive coils, the Casper Wave Hybrid mattress does an excellent job of keeping your spine right in line. Just take a look below at how Matt’s body was supported during testing.

Top-Notch Responsiveness

Casper isn’t kidding when they say this is their most advanced model ever. The Wave Hybrid offers hyper-targeted support and top-of-the-line responsiveness to your body’s motions. We have our testers turn to different sleeping positions to see how quickly the mattress can respond to your movements so you can get comfortable, and with the Wave Hybrid they were truly impressed!

This is due to the careful craftsmanship in the construction of this Casper mattress. The combination of latex and memory foam, targeted gel pods, and resilient springs makes for a bed that’s ready to respond to your movements all night to keep you sleeping comfortably.

Is the Casper Wave Hybrid Firm?

The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress rates a 5 on the 1-10 firmness scale, making it a medium firmness mattress. The top comfort layers gently hug the body’s curves, while the latex foam and supportive pocketed coils counter excess sinkage. The feel is one that falls between sleeping “on” and “in” a mattress.

Does It Match Different Types of Sleepers?

Side Sleepers

The Casper Wave Hybrid is a wonderful mattress choice for side sleepers. While the pressure relieving abilities of a mattress is important for all sleepers, they are particularly important for side sleepers. That’s because the bulk of our weight falls on the hips and shoulders when we are laying on our side. The Wave Hybrid performed exceptionally well in our pressure relief test, closely conforming to the hips and shoulders, melting pressure away.

Back Sleepers

When shopping for a mattress, back sleepers need something 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. Our sleep testers of every body size felt the Wave Hybrid delivered idyllic support and cushion when lying on their backs, making this a top mattress for back sleepers.

Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers are the rarest type of sleeper. Stomach sleeper mattresses have a soft, responsive surface to keep pressure off the pelvis, chest, and shoulders and are simultaneously firm and supportive enough to keep their back in alignment rather than arched. The Wave Hybrid has a phenomenally responsive surface that allows the curvatures of the body to be cradled the way stomach sleepers need, but it also contains high resiliency foam and pocket springs that keep the spine elevated rather than sinking.

Combination Sleepers

Combination sleepers tend to move around a lot at night. For a good night’s rest that isn’t disrupted when changing positions, combination sleepers need a bed that’s responsive. Our testers switched positions with ease, making the Wave Hybrid a good mattress for combination sleepers.

How Well Does It Regulate Temperature?

Our sleep testers found the Casper Wave Hybrid cool-to-the-touch. And with breathable innerspring coils, layers of perforated foam, and naturally-cool latex, the Wave Hybrid will help hot sleepers stay cool all night long.

Does It Support Heavier People?

Thanks to generous comfort layers and innerspring coils that limit sinkage, the Casper Wave Hybrid works well for all body sizes. Lightweight sleepers will find the cushion they need for relief at areas like the hips and shoulders, while heavier people are readily supported by the layer of sturdy innerspring coils. However, because this mattress is softer than the average bed, it may feel too soft for heavy sleepers who prefer a medium-firm or firm bed.

Best Foundations for the Wave Hybrid

The Wave 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, platform bed, or adjustable base offer the best support for the Casper, but you can use a box spring that’s in good condition paired with a traditional bed frame.

Layers and Construction

The Wave Hybrid is the result of five years of data collection from customers. The final product is a hybrid mattress made of five premium layers—five foam and a pocket-coil core—wrapped in a moisture-wicking wool cover that prevents humidity from getting trapped in the layers.

What’s Setup Like?

Our sleep testers were able to quickly and easily unbox and set up the Wave Hybrid mattress, as a team of two. Because it’s heavy (111 lbs for the queen-size), we recommend finding a friend to help!

It had a slight odor that went away within hours, and it puffed up to life in a similar period of time. You’ll likely be able to sleep on the Wave Hybrid the same day that it arrives.

For customers who would rather someone else do the heavy lifting, Casper does offer White Glove Delivery for an additional fee. With White Glove Delivery, a Casper representative carries your bed to its final location, sets it up, and removes your old mattress.

Breaking Down the Sleep Trial

Casper was one of the first bed-in-a-box mattress brands that sold their beds directly to you, the consumer. To help put their customers’ minds at ease, Casper and the other leading brands started to offer long trial periods with free returns to remove any financial risk with buying a mattress online.

The Casper sleep trial is fairly standard, giving you 100 nights to give your mattress a try before deciding if it’s the one for you. To return your new bed, you must contact Casper to initiate the return within 100 days from the day that your mattress arrives on your doorstep.

Once your return has been approved, Casper will find a local charity to pick up your mattress and deliver it to a person in need. Expect a full refund on the original form of payment in 1-3 business days from the date the charity picks up the mattress.

The Warranty in Plain Language

Casper mattresses come with a standard 10-year limited warranty. The Casper warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, including the mattress cover zipper and indentations of greater than 1”. To learn more about the warranty, visit Casper’s warranty page.

From scouring online customer reviews, we’ve found that Casper customers agree with us. Here’s what they have to say.

• “Buying a bed has always been something I dreaded because if it didn’t help you get a good night sleep, you were just stuck with it. Casper gave me a new experience. Ordering online was so easy. I called customer service just before I made the purchase and she was great. Delivery was right on time and set up was simple.” -Miranda
• “Not sure who loves it more – me or my two cats. Great buying experience. Appreciated the delivery and removal of the old mattress.” – Karen
• “First thing, customer support is second to none! My first mattress was lost by UPS. I contacted customer service and had another one on the way in days!” -Daniel

Learn About the Return Policy

For most mattress shoppers, the idea of returning a mattress is daunting. Can you really return a bed that you’ve slept in? What happens to it? And do you need the box that it originally came in?

Fortunately, Casper doesn’t make you jump through hoops to return your mattress. To return a Casper mattress, all you need to do is contact customer service within the first 100 nights and complete the paperwork that they send your way. It’s incredibly simple!

And don’t feel bad if you find out the Casper Wave Hybrid isn’t the mattress for you. Casper works on the backend to find a local charity that will pick the mattress up from your doorstep—and you don’t need to try and stuff it back in its original box. You’ll receive a full refund within 1-3 business days from when the charity picks up the bed.

Real Customer Feedback

Now you know how the Casper Wave Hybrid performed in our lab, but what about in your home? Take a look at what actual customers have said about their experience with the Casper Wave Hybrid.

• From a Customer with Back Pain: “Last year I had two total hip replacements and with the mattress before the Wave, I would step out of bed and have lower back pain until my back woke up by walking around. WITH THE WAVE, I step out of bed and have NO lower back pain. My husband says he is definitely sleeping better. I would recommend the Wave to everyone.” – Mia
• From an Ex-Casper Original Sleeper: “As a full-time farm manager and worker I need good sleep. I started on a regular Casper and was enticed to upgrade to Wave due to growing shoulder and lower back strain. Since sleeping on Wave all of that pain has slowly melted away. I literally get excited every day to crash on it. Every time you fall, it feels as new and fresh as when I first unpacked it. The name is accurate. I feel an incredibly delicate wave supporting my soft stretch of body between my shoulder and hips. It cradles and relieves pressure all at the same time. Worth every penny. Truly treat yourself.” – Matt
• From a Happy Couple: “As soon as I lay down I basically pass out. Absolutely the best decision I made was buying the wave. Now I know what sleeping on a cloud means. Perfect price for what you get! My husband is 6’8” so we bought the Cali king. He fits perfectly on it and loves the support of it for his 350 lb frame. We will be buying again in the future for our guest bedroom and shore house.” – Katie
• From a Sound Sleeper: “I have been sleeping much better since I purchased my Wave mattress. It is firmer than my previous mattress especially on the edges. I suffer from pain in both shoulders and in my right hip and this pain has subsided since I bought the mattress. I am sleeping longer without interruption. For me, purchasing this mattress was a good move.” – Richard

Reasons to Buy or Not Buy the Casper Wave Hybrid

The Casper Wave Hybrid is one of the highest performing hybrid mattresses that we’ve tested at the Mattress Advisor mattress lab. Scoring an 8/10 or higher in every single category, we don’t have many qualms with the Casper Wave Hybrid.

Its plush comfort layers cushion sensitive parts of the body, making it an excellent mattress for side sleepers and those with body aches and pains. With a responsive feel, incredible motion isolating abilities, and sturdy edges, it’s a favorite amongst couples who sleep together.

With 13” of pocketed coils and foam layers, it delivers the cushion needed by lightweight sleepers and the resilience heavy sleepers require. However, keep in mind that the Wave has a medium feel, falling at a 5 on the 1-10 firmness scale. As such, the Wave’s feel is softer than the average mattress, so we don’t recommend it to those who like firm beds. Check out the other mattresses that made our best mattresses of 2023 countdown if you’d prefer something firmer.
