Purchasing and Returns
Unboxing and First Impressions
Similar to other bed-in-a-box models, the Casper Original Hybrid arrives at your doorstep in a box, compressed and plastic-wrapped. We recommend using a spacious area to unbox your new mattress, as it expands to its full form in a matter of a few minutes. The mattress will be ready to sleep on right away but we recommend letting it expand for 48 hours for ideal comfort.

Comfort
From the moment you lie down on Casper Original Hybrid, you will fall in love with the cushiony comfort it offers. The cozy knit cover combined with the premium memory foams and flex coils cater to top-tier comfort and support for your body. The ergonomic zoned support minimizes pressure points and alleviates pain to provide the most restorative experience. Add in proper spinal alignment, it creates a perfectly balanced sleeping experience that can be restorative and soothing.
Firmness
Mattress firmness can be a game-changing difference to the quality of your sleep, and a true medium-firm mattress is hard to come by. With its innovative construction and premium materials, Casper Original Hybrid has succeeded in giving you the most balanced and supportive feel in its firmness. Ranking 6.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, this mattress offers a spot-on amount of bounce and responsiveness to your body.
Motion Transfer
If you’re someone who shares your bed with a partner, kid, or pet, feeling their movement every time they toss and turn can be frustrating. To address this, Casper Original Hybrid minimizes motion transfer across the mattress by cleverly utilizing the individually pocketed springs of the mattress. Our in-house tests confirmed this observation, indicating you will have minimum interruptions to your beauty sleep on this mattress.
Cooling
Casper’s AirScape® technology is truly one of the most innovative features of their mattress range, facilitating more airflow across the mattress to wick away heat and moisture. Elevated breathability provides an optimal, cool sleeping surface for a cozy night’s sleep. For hot sleepers, this is a breakthrough technology that can significantly increase their sleep quality. We were quite satisfied with our cooling test results of 17.3 °C of surface temperature after 30 minutes lying down on the mattress. For those looking for extra cooling properties, Casper has a range of cooling mattresses including the Snow and Wave Hybrid Snow in Medium-Firm and Plush.
Edge Support
The Casper Original Hybrid features a firm border around the mattress to reinforce edge support and enhance its durability. This helps individuals get in and out of bed easily, and sit or lie down closer to the edge of the mattress with no discomfort. There was no sinking feeling, or slipping or falling off, indicating the mattress is thoughtfully designed to offer stability across, including the edges.
Sinkage and Responsiveness
Casper Original Hybrid’s medium-firm structure has made this one of the most stable mattresses you will encounter. With less sinkage and a bit of bounce to provide cushioned comforts, this mattress feels just right. As the flex coils increase responsiveness to your body, the mattress recovers and responds fast, adding to its already impressive list of pros.
How does it suit different sleeping positions?
Side Sleepers
For side sleepers, this mattress is their dream come true! Although memory foam mattresses are better recommended for side sleepers, Casper Original Hybrid does a stellar job, providing great comfort for side sleepers’ shoulders and neck while keeping their hips aligned. There is ample cushioning with no excessive sinkage to promote a contouring, yet supportive feel. With targeted pressure relief, they can enjoy pain-free sleep to wake up refreshed every time.
Back Sleepers
Casper Original Hybrid’s Zoned Support™ helps maintain the natural curves in the spine for a balanced, supportive feel for the back, hips, and neck while ensuring optimal spinal alignment. The medium-firmness helps even weight distribution for back sleepers and alleviates pressure from key pain points of their body. As back sleepers rely on consistent support to maintain spinal health, a durable mattress like this one can be a great investment!
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers tend to love a medium-firm to firm mattress which caters more to keeping their spine aligned and relieving pressure from their chest and abdomen. For this reason, Casper Original Hybrid is a great choice, as its optimal firmness, pressure relief, and minimal sinkage ensure comfort for stomach sleepers. Meanwhile, this mattress does a great job of maintaining a neutral spine to prevent the hips, shoulders, or neck being strained.
Combination Sleepers
If you switch sleeping positions and toss and turn all the time, Casper Original Hybrid will still be an amazing choice for you. As this mattress has great responsiveness to your body and adapts quickly to any sleeping position, you will not feel uncomfortable or unstable in any position. Medium-firm mattresses are the ideal choice for combination sleepers as they provide the perfect balance between support and comfort. Not to mention, if you’re a combination sleeper who shares their bed, supreme motion isolation can be very beneficial, and this mattress excels in all of these areas for uninterrupted, deep slumber.
Lightweight Sleepers
Lightweight sleepers can benefit from the supportive, balanced construction of the mattress that prevents excessive bounce, while the medium-firm feel works perfectly to align your spine and give you the optimal pressure relief you need.
Heavy People
Casper Original Hybrid supports a range of sleepers including heavier individuals. As this is a medium-firm mattress, if you prefer a firmer option, you can opt for the Casper Dawn Extra Firm mattress.
Should You Buy the Casper Original Hybrid?
Casper Original Hybrid is a versatile, premium mattress that provides excellent support and comfort for anyone. The signature AirScape® technology ensures a sweat-free night’s sleep, wrapped in cozy comforts, while the ergonomic zoned support and firm border cater to exceptional support for the body.
