Tuft and Needle vs Casper vs Purple Reddit

Yes, overall Purple is a very comfortable and supportive bed. The grid technology is quite an innovative play in the mattress industry. It's not only great at pressure relief, but also efficiently dissipates heat. Plus, it's not super firm or too soft — just the perfect blend of both to give you contouring and responsive support.

However, your concerns are understandable in terms of the grid’s design. For that issue, you may check out Purple bed sheets. They are specifically made to give you that comfort feel which may sometimes (and for some people) be lacking due to the grid structure.

I've been casually looking for a new mattress recently, so of course all my web ads have been mattress related. I feel every few days I come across a new ad from a new company that claims to have the "best" and "most comfortable" mattress.

There are 9 different companies in the question title. I'm rather doubtful that each of these companies had a stroke of ingenuity and created 9 new and unique products.

Are all these foam mattress companies the same? Is there really a difference? How would one go about choosing among these manufacturers (or maybe re-sellers is the better term).

How can a new mattress shopper separate the wheat from the chaff?

Thank you.

Hi, the market for mattresses these days is overwhelming! I have an OG Tuft & Needle purchased back in 2013 and it's started to get too soft for me -- I can always feel my husband moving, and I wake up with awful lower back pain throughout the night and in the morning, particularly when I've slept on my stomach. I usually fall asleep on my side and wake up on my side/stomach, if that matters. My husband is not very picky, he can sleep easily on just about anything.

I'm looking at Tuft & Needle Mint, Purple, Casper, Avocado, Saatva Loom & Leaf, etc. I also have a Costco membership and see they have Casper plus the Novaform but that apparently isn't available right now in my area.

I'll be purchasing a King. Comfort is most important, of course, followed by price and payment options (can pay cash but 0% APR financing like Affirm is a perk), and trial period/ease of return. Any reviews, insights, etc, are appreciated!!

Hi y’all. I’m planning on buying a new (Full) mattress while the Memorial Day discounts are up.

My budget was $1000, and these two mattresses seem to best fit my needs. I do have back problems—some lower back pains, but upper back/neck pains as well—so I’d prefer something a bit more firm.

I haven’t tested either of them, so I hope to hear back from your experiences on any of them. The 100-night trial offers some relief, but if I could save myself the trouble, that’d be good.

• Cooling isn’t super important.

• I’m 5’ 4” at ~140 lb.

• Mainly a back sleeper, but I sleep on the side every so often.

Thank you!

I personally would ignore both consumer reports and youtube reviews of mattresses. Comfort is far too subjective to be evaluated like that and "soft" and "firm" are entirely relative.

The two mattresses you're looking at are both very similar. They both are 3 layer foam mattresses, both with a knit polyester cover. Both mattresses use a proprietary soft polyurethane foam as the top layer that is meant to mimic latex foam (although neither actually are latex foam). Both mattresses use a polyfoam base that I believe is about 1.8lb in density (although of this I am not sure and neither company seems particularly transparent about this).

The main difference between the two mattresses appears to be in the transition layer between the top layer and the base. In the Tuft and Needle Mint, this is a polyurethane foam of medium firmness. In the Casper, this middle layer is actually zoned memory foam. The 'zoning' here means that the middle section where most people's hips are will be firmer than the areas by the shoulders and feet. On the whole I would think this memory foam layer would generally make the Casper a bit softer than the Tuft and Needle. But I'm not certain as I haven't tried them out side by side.

Both mattresses are designed to be "adequate" for the widest number of sleepers and body types as possible. If either you or partner are particularly large or petite its possible it might not be a good fit because there is no such thing as "universal" comfort.

In my personal opinion, I think both of these mattresses are overpriced. They're fairly simple builds made with cheap materials and it would be quite easy to DIY them for less than half the price of each. They do have good return policies though, so that is a plus. I do think that the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is a better quality mattress in a lower price range -- but it's also quite different in that it uses a spring base rather a foam base. Brooklyn Bedding also has a couple of budget all-foam options that I think are probably of comparable quality to Tuft and Needle and Casper, but also at substantially lower prices.

EDIT: Also should mention here the Nest Love+Sleep which is quite comparable to the Tuft and Needle Mint in a lot of ways at a lower price.
