Sleep Position Ratings
The Casper Mattress
Because the Casper is ‘Medium’ (5.5) in terms of firmness, it is optimal for sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. The mattress may also provide good conforming and pressure relief for those weighing less than 130 pounds. And because the Casper isolates motion transfer very well and produces no noise, it is a great choice for couples who experience sleep disruptions due to movement and/or noise.
The GhostBed Mattress
The GhostBed’s ‘Medium Firm’ (6) feel makes it optimal for sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds; those who are lighter than average may find the bed feels too firm and does not conform enough. The mattress also sleeps cool, which can be beneficial for those who find all-foam beds too hot. It isolates motion effectively and makes no noise, as well.

Mattress Construction
Next we’ll look at how the Casper and GhostBed are made. The table below includes firmness, thickness, weight, and composition specs for both beds.
Specification | Casper | GhostBed |
Firmness | 5.5 (Medium) | 6 (Medium Firm) |
Thickness | 12″ | 11″ |
Weight (Queen) | 71 lbs. | 89 lbs. |

Comfort Layer Components | 1 1/2″ Polyfoam 1 1/2″ 4 PCF Memory Foam 1 1/2″ 2 PCF Polyfoam |

Cover Composition | Polyester | Viscose/Polyester Blend |
How is the Casper Built?
The Casper is constructed with a three-tiered comfort system that includes top and bottom polyfoam layers, along with a middle layer of memory foam. These layers provide close body conforming that can improve spinal alignment and alleviate aches and pains throughout the body. The Casper is also highly supportive thanks to a high-density polyfoam base layer that reinforces the mattress and helps maintain an even sleep surface.
The Casper is 12 inches thick, giving it a profile that is about average. It weighs 71 pounds, which is light – even by all-foam mattress standards. This makes the Casper relatively easy to lift and rotate as recommended for most owners.
How is the GhostBed Built?
The GhostBed features comfort layers of synthetic Dunlop latex and gel memory foam. These components create a ‘Medium Firm’ feel that offers some conforming, but not as much as the Casper. The latex layer helps the mattress maintain temperature neutrality, allowing the bed to sleep cool for most – but because latex is heavier than foam, the GhostBed weighs more than the average mixed-foam bed: 89 pounds in a queen size.
The GhostBed’s 11-inch profile includes 7 1/2-inch of high-density polyfoam in the support core, which gives the mattress above-average support.
