Casper vs Purple

Q: What about thermal regulation?

Casper: Highly breathable foams are designed to allow for fresh air to cool you all night long. Purple: Purple's grid is made of non-breathable polymers that can reduce air circulation, which may cause sweating and overheating.

Casper vs Purple

Better sleep is no gimmick. You are not a grid.

Superior support, layer by layer.

When it comes to support, we know it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
That’s why we’ve continuously innovated our design and materials over ten years to create a support system that actually delivers better sleep—while Purple is confined to their grid.

Supports your curves

Zoned Support takes into account the shapes and curves of your body with a softer foam around the shoulders and a firmer foam under the hips, waist, and lower back.

Ultimate back support

Zoned Support Max divides the mattress into 7 support zones and two layers to give you support exactly where you need it.

You are not a grid.

With no variation from your head to toe, The Grid may not adapt to the curves and support needs of your body.

Their mattress passes the egg test. Ours passes the people test.

We tested our mattresses side by side along with the Purple Flex and Purple Hybrid to see how they stacked up. When it comes to waking up refreshed, Casper always comes out on top.

Ergonomic Index. The higher the score the better the alignment. Casper outperforms both Purple Flex and Purple Restore Hybrid.

What does ergonomics even mean?

Simply put, it means less aches and pains and better spinal alignment.

Better sleep is off the grid.

How do we ensure your best rest? It’s simple. We follow two simple rules:
Everything in our mattress must help sleep, and must be tested, so there’s no room for gimmicks.

100% edge to edge comfort

Every Casper mattress has layers of comfort that cover the full surface of the mattress, extending edge-to-edge and providing a dreamy feel.

The grid only goes so far

Purple’s Grid mattress only covers 72% of the surface sleeping area, which means 28% isn’t giving you the support you need.

Word on the sheets

Elizabeth from Northampton, MA

"I recently bought a Purple Hybrid Premier 3 which was returned after 1 week because it caused me so much pain. I then ordered this mattress after a little research and it changed my life... stop thinking about it and just PUT IT IN YOUR CART! It totally changed my life."

Nicholas from Santa Fe, CA

"Good and firm! I got this after realizing the Purple mattress was too soft for me. This has helped my existing sciatica issue, which was present when I used the Purple."

Jennifer from Darian, GA

"[...] I'm so done trying mattresses as I have finally found "the one"! No more backaches!"

We’ve been dreaming for more than a decade. Purple can’t say that.

Sleeping with a partner? Purple may have you feeling blue.

Perfectly responsive

Casper mattresses are designed with individually-pocket flex coils to make sure you don’t feel your partner’s sleep hijinx.

When they move, you move

Purple’s grid pulls every time your partner rolls over, which can interrupt your sleep. Just like that.

Looking for the perfect mattress?

The Grid may work for some, but for most sleepers, choosing Casper is a no-brainer.
Why? Superior ergonomics, premium materials, reduced motion transfer, and 10 years of solving sleep problems.

Casper outranks Purple in Ergonomic Support, Motion Isolation, and Cooling.
