Compared to Casper’s six different mattresses, Nectar only offers three options: a Memory Foam, Premier Memory Foam, and Premier Copper Memory Foam. The body of the Nectar Memory Foam mattress is made of three foam layers with uniform support throughout.

The Nectar Memory Foam Mattress lacks their AquaCool™ and Energex™ foams — which are only available in the Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress. The Casper Original Mattress comes with all our best features, like our AirScape™ foam and ZonedSupport™ system.

Casper mattresses are designed with a transition layer of ZonedSupport™ that offers three ergonomic zones of support, making the mattress softer under the shoulders and neck and firmer around the lower back, waist, and hips.
Nectar — Engineered for Counting Sheep

Nectar’s Adaptive Hi-Core memory foam has a uniform level of support throughout. Your body isn’t uniform throughout, so why should your mattress be?

Support

We know mattresses are an investment. That’s why our support core layer in the Casper Original Mattress is made of 7” of high-density polyfoam that’s designed for durability and support for years to come.
Nectar — Limited Endurance

With a thinner support core layer made of 5.25” of polyfoam, Nectar's mattresses lack the extra thickness that makes the Casper Original Mattress so durable.

Casper vs Nectar — which is better?

Ultimately, the choice is up to you. Both brands offer all-foam, premium mattresses. Where they differ is in pressure relief, firmness, and models available.

The Casper Original Mattress is designed for targeted pressure relief with three ergonomic zones of support. It has a medium firmness that is great for all sleeping positions, especially side sleepers. Casper also has more models available than Nectar, so you can find your perfect fit for a great night’s sleep. On top of that, Casper offers the option to add coils to your bed if you need some extra weight support. Similar to the all-foam mattress, our Casper Original Hybrid mattress option gives you that same soft, foam feel, but with extra support.

We understand that buying a mattress is a big investment. Given you spend about one-third of your life in bed, you should take your time deciding and be sure to weigh the pros and cons of each option.
