Who Makes the Best Casper Alternative? 

Purple is undoubtedly the best Casper alternative. With nine models of foam, hybrid, and luxe mattress options, Purple has a superior mattress selection to Casper, which only has five options available.

Casper launched in 2014 with their bed-in-a-box concept, developing and iterating on memory foam and hybrid mattresses since conception. While they offer these options at a reasonable price, some customers are seeking more and better options to find a quality mattress that’s tailored to their specific needs.

1. Purple 
2. Nectar
3. Saatva
4. Tuft & Needle
5. Leesa
6. Novaform
7. Tempur-Pedic
8. Sealy
9. Helix
10. WinkBeds

We understand it’s difficult to choose a mattress, as good sleep is vital to our well-being. In this guide, we’ll break down Casper alternatives and explain why Purple offers the more impressive selection of luxury mattress options.

Knowing someone who has a Purple of their own, they swore by it, so we wanted to try. No regrets at all! Within the first week my hip pain decreased and we were sleeping better. Hip pain is still around after a couple months but very [notably] decreased, which is really more than I could have asked or hoped for — I can even sleep on my bad hip again which I wasn't able to do for months and months…” — C T, Purple Plus® review

Looking for a Casper mattress alternative that offers a better sleep every night? Purple is the answer. With patented technologies that prioritize sleep health, Purple mattresses outrank Casper every time.

Here are eight reasons you should choose Purple over Casper when choosing your next mattress.

1. Supportive Grid Technology

One of the main selling points of Purple mattresses is our innovative GelFlex® Grid technology, which adapts to all bodies and sleep positions. There’s a reason it’s been used in hospital beds for over two decades — it’s incredibly soft and supportive.

The GelFlex® Grid technology features a unique design that supports your back while still cradling areas like your shoulders and hips. Similarly, it responds to movement, so you don’t feel stuck in place while sleeping.

Our pride and joy, the GelFlex® Grid, is what makes Purple mattresses so uniquely comfortable for all sleepers. Constructed from our proprietary Hyper-Elastic Polymer, it’s also:

• Non-toxic
• Hypoallergenic
• Certified Clear Air GOLD
• Made in the USA

Each of our beds has at least two layers of our GelFlex® Grid on the top. Below, we’ll dive deeper into each specific benefit of this technology that has won us awards and continues to outshine competitors in the space.

For those who naturally run hot, Purple mattresses have your back (quite literally). Our mattresses are up to four times* more effective than major competitors at drawing excess heat away from the body. The temperature balance technology allows for better airflow, affording us multiple “Best Cooling Mattress” awards.

How? Unlike memory foam mattresses that trap body heat and prohibit airflow, ours are incapable of trapping body heat. Instead, the GelFlex® Grid technology infuses 1,400 breathable channels that dissipate heat, allowing you to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer.

3. Responsive Coil System 

Gone are the days of rolling over in bed and listening to squeaky springs creak as you move. Instead of open springs, Purple’s hybrid mattresses use a system of individually wrapped pocket coils that allow for premium motion isolation. 

While traditional spring mattresses are naturally less responsive, Purple’s responsive coil system offers superior pressure relief and motion control compared to Casper’s flex coils. 

4. Advanced Edge Support

Edge support is often an overlooked characteristic of a quality mattress. For those who need extra support getting in and out of bed, Purple mattresses have an Edge Support System that prevents sagging and retains their shape.

Whether you prefer a firm or medium mattress, our hybrid mattresses are made with different materials that offer varying firmness options while maintaining unparalleled structural stability. It’s one of the reasons we continue to outperform competitors like Casper on support, comfort, and ease of movement.

5. Enhanced Pressure Relief

Perhaps one of our mattresses’ best qualities is the exceptional pressure relief. Our patented GelFlex® Grid technology utilizes a unique column structure and flexible formula that relieves pressure while maintaining support for optimal alignment. 

Adding between two and three inches of comfort to your mattress thickness, our technology cradles pressure points and supports broad areas for pain relief and correct spinal alignment. 

Purple hybrid mattresses allow for optimal pressure relief, ideal for those with pesky body aches. 

6. Ease of Movement

There’s nothing worse than feeling trapped in your own bed. Traditional memory foam mattresses often require more effort to flip from position to position. 

While Casper mattresses have a slower response time, Purple mattresses instantly adapt to movement, allowing you to change positions with ease. 

Simply put, fewer disruptions equal better sleep. 

7. Accommodates All Sleep Styles

Let’s face it. Many of us toss and turn throughout the night. Purple mattresses work for all sleep positions, especially combination sleepers, according to Sleepopolis. Further, for better spinal alignment and refreshing pressure relief, the Purple Mattress is the better option.¹⁵ 

While Purple has more options than Casper in terms of mattress types based on sleep style and firmness preferences, our Restore Hybrid Collection is particularly accommodating for combination sleepers, as this hybrid collection utilizes the GelFlex® Grid for full-body support that keeps you comfortable and aligned. 

Studies show that people fall asleep 20% faster when sleeping on a Purple Restore Hybrid mattress. 

8. More Mattress Options

Sleeping is unique to each individual’s specific comfort level and needs. That’s why we’ve developed three distinct collections of mattresses, each offering its own benefits and unique sleep experience:

• Purple Restore Hybrid Collection: This collection utilizes our patented GelFlex® Grid technology to offer enhanced pressure relief and up to 4x more cooling than leading competitors.
• Purple Rejuvenate Luxe Collection: Combining the benefits of a zoned coil with GelFlex® Grid Plus, our rejuvenating Luxe collection offers maximum body support and pressure relief. 
• Purple Essential Collection: Instantly adaptive support and pressure relief, this collection is ideal for all sleepers for maximum comfort and care.

Regardless of your sleep position, body type, or budget, Purple offers more to those looking to replace their mattress. With nine options compared to Casper’s five, we’ve covered all our bases to ensure each type of sleeper has the most comfortable and reliable sleep, night after night.

Which Mattress Is Right for You?

Purple mattresses continue to be the best Casper alternatives on the market, offering more options at an affordable price. As mentioned, our proprietary GelFlex® Grid technology fosters ideal sleeping conditions for all types of sleepers.
