- Sleepers who prefer a balance of body-conforming and responsiveness. The Casper Hybrid contours closer to the body than many competing hybrids, but thick pocketed coils give the mattress more bounce than the Casper Original and other all-foam models. This results in a combination of “sleeping on” and “sleeping in” the mattress.
- People who often experience discomfort due to pressure points. Due to its close, consistent body-conforming and even weight distribution, the Casper Hybrid provides excellent pressure relief for sleepers – particularly those who weigh 230 pounds or less.
- Hot sleepers. The Casper Hybrid allows strong airflow through its coil layer that cools off the interior of the bed and helps the surface maintain a comfortable temperature.
- Couples. The Casper Hybrid isolates motion transfer better than other competing hybrids and its coils are fairly quiet, resulting in fewer sleep disturbances for those who share their bed with a partner.
- Value-seekers. The Casper Hybrid has a relatively low price-point, making it more affordable than many similarly constructed hybrids from other brands.
Not Recommended for...
- Sleepers who enjoy very responsive mattresses. Although the Casper Hybrid’s coils provide a noticeable bounce, the mattress is not as responsive as other traditional innerspring and hybrid models.
- People who weigh more than 230 pounds. Heavier sleepers may find the Casper Hybrid too soft and lacking in support.

How Is the Casper Hybrid Constructed?
Cover
The Casper Hybrid’s top cover is made of 100 percent polyester, while the side panels and bottom are a polyester-spandex blend. These materials give the cover a very soft and stretchy feel.
The zippered cover can be removed for cleaning, but it should not be washed or dried in any household machines. Casper recommends spot-cleaning with mild detergent and air-drying. Mattress owners can order a replacement cover from Casper if needed.
Comfort Layers
The Casper Hybrid’s comfort system measures 3.5 inches thick. The top 1.5-inch layer consists of standard polyfoam. This material is more responsive than memory foam, giving the mattress a noticeable bounce.
The second 2-inch layer is made of memory foam, which is zoned to provide optimal support to different areas of the body. This component combines with the top polyfoam layer to create a balanced feel for sleepers. The foams contour closely to the body for exceptional pressure relief, but the bed is also supportive and fairly responsive like other hybrids.
Support Layers
Like other hybrids, the Casper Hybrid has a support core made of pocketed coils. The coils, which measure 7 inches thick, are reinforced with 1 inch of high-density base polyfoam. These components stabilize the entire bed to prevent excessive sagging in the sleep surface.
Mattress Height
The Casper Hybrid measures 11 inches thick. This makes it a somewhat higher-profile mattress, though its height is on par with the average hybrid. The bed’s profile allows extra space for deep comfort materials without sacrificing coil thickness, which is essential for even support.
| Product Name | Firmness Options | Thickness | Support Core Components | Comfort Layer Components | Cover Components |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casper Hybrid | Medium (5.5) | 11″ | 7″ Pocketed Coils 1″ 1.8 PCF HD Polyfoam |
1.5″ Polyfoam 2″ 4 PCF Memory Foam |
100% Polyester (Top) Stretch-polyester (Bottom/Side Panels) |
What Are the Firmness and Feel Like?
The Casper Hybrid has a medium feel, which rates as a 5.5 on the 1-10 firmness scale. The polyfoam and memory foam comfort layers conform closely to the body, resulting in better-than-average pressure relief for sleepers weighing 230 pounds or less.
In addition to the comfort materials, the Casper Hybrid’s zoned transitional layer provides enhanced support for the sleeper’s midsection and hips while cushioning the shoulders. This ensures spinal alignment for most lightweight and average weight sleepers, particularly those who sleep on their side and/or back.
The Casper Hybrid is also fairly responsive, but the mattress is less bouncy than most competing hybrids. This makes the Casper Hybrid optimal for sleepers who prefer a combination of pressure relief and support.
Ratings Breakdown
Performance Ratings
Next, we’ll take an in-depth look at our performance ratings for the Casper Hybrid. These ratings are based on findings from our in-house and external sleep testers, as well as experiences from verified mattress owners.
Durability
The Casper Hybrid debuted in 2019. For this reason, we have not been able to evaluate the bed over the average mattress lifespan of six to eight years. Our durability rating for the Casper Hybrid is based on its materials and quality of construction, as well as owner experiences with the mattress and Casper’s overall reputation.
We have given the Casper Hybrid an expected lifespan of about seven years, which is on par with the average hybrid model. Thick pocketed coils and dense transitional and base foams help prevent the mattress from sagging too much in the middle over time.
However, our testers also noticed significant sinkage when they sat on the bed’s edges. Comparatively, hybrid models typically offer strong edge support due to their coil systems. This suggests the Casper Hybrid’s perimeter could weaken more quickly. (See our ‘Edge Support’ breakdown below for more information.)
Like other beds with foam comfort layers, the Casper Hybrid is susceptible to body impressions that form on the surface over time. These impressions can compromise overall support. To preserve the surface longer, we recommend rotating the mattress head-to-foot every three to six months.
Motion Isolation
To evaluate the Casper Hybrid for motion isolation, we asked two testers to lie down on the mattress at the same time. One tester moved around in bed while the other felt for motion transferring across the surface. Our testers noted better motion isolation compared to other hybrids. These findings were consistent with feedback from our external sleep testers with sleep partners.
Hybrids can be somewhat iffy when it comes to motion isolation. Even those with thick comfort layers tend to be fairly responsive, resulting in more motion transfer and the higher potential for sleep disruptions. Thanks to its less responsive comfort layers, the Casper Hybrid is a notable exception to this trend.
Off-Gassing
When unboxing the Casper Hybrid, our staff noticed the mattress emitting some fairly strong off-gassing odors. These smells were still present, albeit not as pungent, when we evaluated the mattress again a few days later. We don’t anticipate major odor issues with the Casper Hybrid long term. That said, the mattress produces more initial off-gassing than other competing hybrids.
All mattresses emit some off-gassing when you first pull them out of the box, but models with polyfoam and/or memory foam layers tend to be smellier. Hybrid and innerspring models usually have lower odor potential thanks to strong airflow through their coil layers, but the Casper Hybrid appears to be an outlier for this category.
Pressure Relief
For our pressure relief evaluation, we asked our testers to lie down on a sensory pad that tracks pressure build-up in the shoulders, hips, and other sensitive areas of the body. Each tester moved around to see if pressure increased or decreased in different sleep positions. They found the Casper Hybrid offers excellent overall pressure relief, especially for lightweight and average weight side-, back-, and stomach-sleepers.
The Casper Hybrid’s exceptional pressure relief can be largely attributed to its material construction. The polyfoam and memory foam layers conform closely, creating a pressure-relieving cradle for the body, while the transitional and support layers keep sleepers on an even plane without sagging excessively to prevent added discomfort.
Temperature Neutrality
Our testers found the Casper Hybrid quite cool. The mattress offers better temperature neutrality than the Casper mattress due to the addition of a pocketed coil support core, which circulates air better than the original’s all-foam support core. Hybrid and innerspring models generally sleep cooler for this reason.
Edge Support
To evaluate edge support, we asked testers in different weight groups to sit along the perimeter of the bed. All of the testers noticed significant sinkage, indicating weaker edge support for the Casper Hybrid compared to other innerspring and hybrid models. This means some sleepers – heavier individuals, in particular – may have a difficult time getting on and off the bed.
However, the testers all felt secure lying next to the edges of the mattress. Some beds with weaker edge support cause feelings of “roll-off,” but this was not the case with the Casper Hybrid. The perimeter has enough reinforcement to feel relatively stable for sleepers, even if it sinks a bit when people sit along the edges.
Noise
When evaluating the Casper Hybrid, our testers did not notice any sounds coming from the coil system. Although the coils may become more prone to squeaking and creaking over time, we do not anticipate noise being a major issue for owners. This characteristic, coupled with the hybrid’s very good motion isolation, makes the mattress a good choice for people who awaken easily due to their sleep partner’s movements.
Pocketed coils tend to make less noise than other coil types, such as bonnell or offset. Although hybrids are not silent like most all-foam and all-latex mattresses, they are not associated with noise complaints like traditional innerspring models.
Sex
The Casper Hybrid is not as responsive as many competing hybrid and innerspring mattresses. As a result, the mattress lacks the signature bounce of these models that some couples prefer during sex. However, the Casper Hybrid’s conforming polyfoam and memory foam layers provide good traction for sex.
Sleeper Ratings
The ideal firmness and thickness settings for a mattress largely depend on a sleeper’s body weight, shape, and preferred sleep position. In order to better inform our readers and avoid subjectivity in our review, our team evaluated the bed with sleep testers of varying body types and position preferences.
Lightweight Sleepers – Less than 130 lbs.
Our lightweight sleep testers found the Casper Hybrid very comfortable. The bed’s medium feel and close body-conforming ensures ample cushioning and good spinal alignment for most side sleepers under 130 pounds, while the transitional and coil layers create an even, supportive surface for those who sleep on their back or stomach.
Sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds often prefer softer mattresses. Firmer beds do not conform as closely, and lightweight people often receive inadequate pressure relief as a result. Since the Casper Hybrid contours closer than other hybrids, it alleviates pressure better than many of its leading competitors.
Average Weight Sleepers – 130 to 230 lbs.
Our average weight sleep testers also found the Casper Hybrid comfortable. This was especially true for side-sleepers, who experienced close body-conforming and good spinal alignment. Back-sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds also noted consistent support and even weight distribution, thanks in part to the bed’s zoned transitional layer.
Mattresses with medium to medium-firm settings are typically the best option for average weight sleepers. The surface conforms closely to alleviate pressure and align the spine, but the bed is also supportive enough to withstand excessive sagging.
Heavyweight Sleepers – More than 230 lbs.
Our heavyweight testers did not find the Casper Hybrid as comfortable as testers in the other two weight groups, but their findings varied by sleep position. Side-sleepers noted sagging around the shoulders, which led to some added pressure, but overall support was good. Back-sleepers also experienced some sagging but found the mattress adequate in terms of support and pressure relief.
Heavier stomach-sleepers reported significant sagging, though this is to be expected. Stomach-sleepers often experience sagging because they carry more weight in their midsection than other areas of the body, causing them to sink deeply into the bed. This issue can be compounded if the sleeper is heavier and/or the mattress is softer. Although preferences vary by individual, most heavier stomach-sleepers prefer firmer mattresses for this reason.

How Does the Casper Hybrid Compare to Other Beds?
Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Mattress
The Casper Mattress is Casper’s flagship model, and served as the inspiration for the Casper Hybrid. Both the Casper and the Casper Hybrid are constructed with the same comfort and transitional layers. They also share a 12-inch profile and medium feel, though the Casper is slightly softer and provides a deeper pressure-relieving cradle for sleepers.
Support core construction is the key difference between these two mattresses. The Casper has a 7.5-inch support core made of high-density polyfoam, whereas the Casper Hybrid has 6-inch pocketed coils reinforced with 1 inch of high-density polyfoam. The Casper provides better motion isolation and makes less noise as a result, while the Casper Hybrid offers better temperature neutrality and more responsiveness due to its coils.
The Casper Hybrid costs slightly more than the Casper, but both are considered low-priced mattresses. Buyers should base their decision on whether they prefer the cooler and more responsive feel of a hybrid, or the body-cradling feel of an all-foam mattress.

Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Wave Hybrid
Like the Casper Hybrid, the Casper Wave Hybrid is a newer hybrid model inspired by one of Casper’s non-hybrids. Like its namesake, the Wave Hybrid has polyfoam, latex, and memory foam comfort layers. It also shares the Wave’s medium-soft feel, but the hybrid has a thicker 13-inch profile.
The Casper Hybrid and Wave Hybrid are comparable because they each have 6-inch pocketed coils and a high-density foam base. The Wave Hybrid also features a high-density foam encasement around the coils, which provides more reinforcement for the perimeter. As a result, the Wave Hybrid offers better edge support. Both beds isolate motion transfer better than the average hybrid. Temperature neutrality is a major strength of each model, as well.
The most notable difference between the Casper Hybrid and Wave Hybrid is their price-point. The former is considered very affordable compared to other hybrids, while the latter is much more expensive than average. Cost will likely influence the buyer’s decision more than any other factor.

Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Element
The Casper Element is constructed with a polyfoam comfort layer a and high-density polyfoam support core. The mattress measures 10 inches thick, giving it a comparable profile to the Casper Hybrid, but the Element has a medium-firm feel that rates at a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale.
Like other all-foam beds, the Element isolates motion transfer very well and does nhttps://www.tuck.com/go/casper-essential-casper-essential-mattress-reviewot make any noise. However, the Casper Hybrid’s coil system provides better overall support, especially for heavier individuals and side-sleepers, and it’s pressure-relieving abilities far exceed the Element’s.
The Element’s responsive, medium-firm feel make it a good option for those who like a combination of sleeping “on” and sleeping “in” their mattress, and its low price-point is very budget-friendly. However, our testing shows the Casper Hybrid provides better support and pressure relief across different weight and position groups.

Casper Hybrid vs. Casper Nova Hybrid
Released in 2020, the Casper Nova Hybrid is a plush hybrid with zoned layers. While both models have the same top layer and a pocketed coil support core, the Nova Hybrid has a softer feel on the surface and an extra layer of zoned polyfoam
The firmness of the Nova Hybrid is Medium Soft (4), but due to its pocketed coil support core, it still provides significant support. Like the Casper hybrid, it’s topped off by a layer of perforated polyfoam. Unlike the Casper Hybrid, however, beneath that is a second layer of polyfoam, except this layer is zoned to support different parts of the body. Underneath that is another layer of polyfoam with seven different zones. Both models have a substantial pocketed coil support core.
Though the Nova has a slightly softer comfort layer than that of the Hybrid, their similar hybrid construction makes them rate fairly identically in things like pressure relief and support. However, The Nova seems to be built a little more durable, and tested slightly higher for temperature neutrality. That being said, the Nova hybrid comes at a significantly higher price-point than the hybrid.

Casper Hybrid vs. DreamCloud
The DreamCloud is a hybrid model constructed with a foam-padded Euro-top comfort layer, gel memory foam comfort layer, and pocketed coil support core. The DreamCloud is noticeably firmer than the Casper Hybrid. As a result, the latter is better suited to lightweight sleepers while the former provides better support for heavier individuals.
The DreamCloud is also 3 inches thicker, making it a great option for those who prefer beds with very thick profiles. In terms of edge support, the DreamCloud and Casper Hybrid sink a fair amount when people sit along the perimeter. Both beds also provide very good temperature neutrality, but the Casper Hybrid’s less responsive surface allows it to isolate more motion transfer.
The DreamCloud costs less than the Casper Hybrid, but both beds are considered high-value picks. Because the beds offer comparable performance in most key areas, the decision for many buyers will come down to firmness and profile preferences.

Casper Hybrid vs. Saatva
The Saatva is a luxury innerspring built with comfort layers of polyfoam, memory foam, and pocketed microcoils, along with a bonnell coil support core. This “coil-on-coil” design gives the Saatva a very responsive feel akin to sleeping “on” – as opposed to sleeping “in” – the mattress. Comparatively, the Casper Hybrid’s less responsive feel results in a combination of sleeping on and sleeping in the bed.
The Saatva is available in medium-soft, medium-firm, and firm settings, as well as 11.5-inch and 14.5-inch profiles. This wider selection ensures most sleepers can find a Saatva setting that feels sufficiently comfortable and supportive, regardless of their weight and preferred sleep position. The Casper Hybrid’s single firmness and thickness options may be more limiting, though the mattress conforms closer and alleviates more pressure for lightweight and average weight sleepers than the Saatva.
Price-points between the Saatva and Casper Hybrid are fairly comparable. Before deciding between the two models, shoppers should determine which firmness setting they like best, and whether they prefer the exceptional responsiveness of the Saatva or the more balanced feel of the Casper Hybrid.
Read our complete Saatva Mattress Review.
Casper Hybrid vs. T&N Hybrid
The T&N Hybrid from Tuft & Needle is similar to the Casper Hybrid in several ways. Both beds have a medium (5.5) feel and 12-inch profile, and their designs include 6-inch pocketed coils reinforced with high-density base foam.
Comfort layer composition is where these two beds primarily differ. The T&N Hybrid has a quilted-foam pillow-top, followed by comfort layers of gel-infused polyfoam and microcoils. This coil-on-coil construction (similar to the Saatva’s) creates a very responsive surface, resulting in less motion isolation for the T&N Hybrid, but both beds provide comparable levels of body-conforming and pressure relief – especially for lighter individuals.
The T&N Hybrid costs more than the Casper Hybrid, but both models are priced much lower than the average hybrid model. Those who like the responsive feel of traditional innerspring and hybrid beds will likely prefer the T&N Hybrid, while sleepers who enjoy a combination of sleeping “on” and sleeping “in” their mattress should opt for the Casper Hybrid.
