Our Verdict
Boring Mattress
Casper Snow
The Boring Mattress is a better option than the Casper Snow for most people. The Boring is a more responsive mattress, with better edge support. This mattress makes it easy to move around or shift sleeping positions, and you can sleep right near the edge without feeling like you could slide off, unlike with the Casper. That said, the Casper keeps you cooler, especially at the beginning of the night. If cooling is your top priority, you may prefer the Casper, but otherwise, the Boring is a better bet.
