Firmness Info

The best way to feel the Casper Original Hybrid is to take advantage of our 100-night, risk-free trial. If you're looking for a mattress that can sustain more weight, or you want to be lifted more than cradled, then our hybrids are a great choice.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

Our signature design, now with springs for added support. Made with two layers of premium foam, plus foam-encased springs:

  • Breathable Polyurethane Foam
  • Zoned Memory Foam
  • Durable Base of Polyurethane Foam with Encased Springs.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Comfort Info

A layer of Airscape™ perforated breathable foam increases airflow and circulates air so you don't get too hot at night.
Resilient springs add a little lift, support, and airflow to the mattress of your dreams.

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Support Info

Premium foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure.
Zoned Support™ provides a layer of memory foam with 3 ergonomic zones to help align your spine and provide more relief.
A firmer border provides edge support to help you get in and out of bed easily.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Comfort Specs

Stay cool all night with the innovative cooling system. AirScape™:

  • A top layer of perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat.
  • Tiny holes move hot air and body heat away.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Support Specs

Get all-night comfort with the innovative support system. Zoned Support™:

  • 3 zones of targeted support for proper spinal alignment.
  • Softer foam around the shoulders provides more relief to the upper body.
  • Firmer foam under the hips, waist, and lower back helps align your spine.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Fabric Specs

Planet-friendly textiles. Up to 57 recycled bottles in each cover.

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
