Casper Vs. Tuft & Needle: Which Mattress Best Suits Your Sleep?

Two of the most popular bed-in-a-box mattresses are Casper and Tuft and Needle. Tuft & Needle and Casper are quite evenly matched with their entry-level Original mattresses. If you’re looking for the best mattress for deep pressure relief and strong motion isolation, both are a good choice.

Casper Sleep is a mattress company that was also created in 2014. The Casper Original is an 11-inch all-foam bed. The three layers of proprietary foam contribute to the overall soft neutral foam feel of the bed.

Casper mattresses use Casper 4D Sleep Technology, which is a mattress formula that uses a proprietary blend of materials to address the four aspects of good sleep. This technology ensures body alignment, temperature regulation, soft touch, and a comfortable night’s sleep. The Zoned Support corrects your spine and relieves back and shoulder pain by raising your hips. AirScape foam improves airflow while also removing heat from your body. A special blend of top foams creates the signature Casper Feel, which lulls you to sleep. Both all-foam and foam-and-spring hybrid versions of the Casper Original Mattress are available.

The all-foam version, according to Casper, will give improved contouring and a glove-like fit. The hybrid is designed to provide additional lift, which could aid ventilation. Both types, according to Casper, provide medium to medium-firm support, making them ideal for back, stomach, and side sleepers.

Tuft & Needle has been in business since 2012. The T&N Original Mattress, the company’s flagship bed, is an all-polyfoam model with a 3-inch comfort layer and a high-density foundation. The mattress stands at 10 inches tall.  The Tuft and Needle uses a unique Adaptive Foam, which is a cooling and responsive memory foam alternative. T&N Original Mattress uses this technology to provide body contouring and bounce-back support. It’s ideal for people who sleep on their backs or stomachs. It has a firmness level of 6.5 which is medium-firm. For a deep, comfortable sleep, the polyfoam helps avoid deep body imprints while wicking away heat and sweat.

The Tuft and Needle features a balanced foam feel that is smooth and responsive. The mattress allows sleepers to sink into it, yet allowing them to move about freely.

Both are made in the U.S.A giving them have less off-gassing and as well as higher quality standards for sleeping mattresses.More specifically, the comparison is the Casper Original vs, the Tuft & Needle Original.

Detailed Comparison of Constructions

Cover

Casper Original features a soft breathable cover that is made from recycled materials. It’s  composed of recycled polyester, upcycled cotton, rayon, and Lycra, as well as up to 57 recycled bottles.

The Tuft & Needle’s white cover is comfortable, fluffy, ultra-soft, and breathable. The cover is detachable and constructed of micro polyamide and polyester.

Top Layer

The top layer of the Casper Original is constructed of aerated polyurethane AirScape foam, which promotes air circulation and keeps the foam and sleeper cool. It even has ventilated holes to help promote airflow through the top of the mattress. To relieve pressure, premium foam conforms to your body.

The Tuft & Needle’s 3-inch top layer is comprised of Adaptive Foam, a patented material that provides body contouring and bounce-back support. It’s heat-wicking, with graphite-infused foam that draws heat away from your body. Cooling gel is also included to keep the heat away from your body.

Middle Layer

Casper Original’s inner layer is constructed of zoned memory foam that provides spinal and pressure point support. This foam layer is divided into three zones. The area beneath your head and shoulders is a little softer to relieve pressure. Then there’s a firmer section under your hips and lower back to give you a little more support and keep your spine upright. Casper then utilises the softer foam for the area under your legs once more.

Tuft & Needle does not have this middle transition layer.

Base Layer

The hybrid and foam varieties of Casper Original have a different bottom layer. The foam type has a 5-inch polyurethane foam foundation that is robust. It’s designed to keep you from sinking and sagging while still supporting your entire body. Enclosed springs are encased in the polyurethane foam foundation of the hybrid. The durable springs give your dream mattress a little lift, support, and airflow. A stronger border gives edge support, making it easier to get in and out of bed.

The base layer of Tuft & Needle is a 7-inch high-density polyfoam support core.
