We’ve all found ourselves comparing two products to pick the best out of the two. In this write-up, we will compare Purple Mattress and Casper Mattress. Both mattresses have inspired positive reactions from users. But as we all know, even if a mattress is crowned the best, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is perfect for everyone. The aim of this comparison is to help you make an informed decision on which one you should go with depending on your sleep desires.

Before delving deep into comparing the two, here is a quick overview of the two:

Purple mattress is a new hybrid mattress designed from a combination of hyper elastic polymer and foam. The design structure is the first ever. Purple claims to be the best in pressure relief and boasts having unmatched comfort, and we can almost swear by the claim. Read more about our Purple mattress review here.

Casper Mattress – On the other end of the scale is a mattress that has dominated the industry since 2014. It has 4 layers (One was added later in their later redesign).  Boasting an ingenious design and perfect balance between quality and value. Read more about our caper mattress review here.

Here’s our  Purple vs Casper Mattress comparison;

Mattress Structure

As it has always been — comfort, durability and value in a mattress is defined by the composition and the design structure it is made up of. Here’s how the two compare in structuring:

Purple Mattress Structure

The mattress is made up of 3 layers;

Layer 1 The first layer is 2 Inches in thickness and is made up of hyper-elastic polymer backed by the smart-grid technology which is meant to improve comfort, pressure relief and keep off heat buildup when sleeping.

Layer 2 The second layer of Purple consists of a high density polyurethane foam in the second layer. It helps in bolstering transitional support. For heavier sleepers, you’ll be thankful for this feature.

Layer 3 Also on the third layer is yet another 4 inches of polyurethane foam. This has proven to give the mattress a good base.

Casper Mattress Structure

• Top Layer (latex foam) – 1.5″ of synthetic Dunlop latex foam. This layer provides the comfort, cooling, and bounce for the mattress. It has a density of 3.3 PCF (pounds per cubic foot).
• Second Layer (memory foam) – 1.5″ of memory foam. This layer provides support and pressure relief. It is placed below the latex foam layer to help avoid any potential heat retention issues that can sometimes result from memory foam. It has a density of 4.0 PCF.
• Third Layer (support foam) – 1.5″ of poly foam. This is a transitional poly foam designed to help ease sleepers into the base foam. It has a density of 2.5 PCF.
• Bottom Layer (support foam) – 5.0″ of support poly foam. This layer of foam acts as the foundational base for the mattress. It supports the above comfort layers. It has a density of 1.8 PCF.

Firmness and Softness of the mattresses

For anyone looking for a firm mattress, Casper is one you should give a try. On a scale of 7-10 where 10 is the firmest, we’d give Casper 7.5

On the other side, Purple has a medium feel. Not firm and neither is it so soft.

Which One Should Pick?

Here are head to head feature comparison which hopefully helps you choose the right one for you.

Mattress for Heavier people: Purple Wins

From the design structure, both mattresses have good support for heavier people, but we recommend Casper more when it comes to this. This is because Purple is still new and haven’t really tested for long. Plus Casper’s latest redesign has an increased layer of polyurethane added to the base.

Side Sleepers: Purple Wins

Casper appears too firm for some side sleepers. This is evident in lots of reviews from many Casper users. So if you don’t like your mattress too firm, then there is only one choice here, Purple.

Stomach Sleepers: Casper Wins

If you are among the guys who love to lay on their bellies then you will be much comfortable sleeping on a firmer mattress. This will help with proper spine alignment and prevent it from bowing in as you sleep. Casper is more firm which makes it the ideal pick here.

Mattress size availability

Weight (Ease in lifting/Turning): Casper Wins

Casper weighs between 44-90 pounds while Purple weighs …… Casper is easier to lift and turn as compared to Purple

Good For Sex?: Purple Wins

Comfort Seekers: Pressure Relief: Purple Wins

Durability: Draw

Warranty: Draw

Both mattresses have a 10 year warranty Purple is still a new mattress while Casper has been around since 2014 (Not really a big difference). Judging from the materials used in manufacturing Purple, it is justified to say it’s durable. While on the other side, through rigorous tests since Casper came to the industry, we are happy to say its been of great service.
