Our Verdict
Casper Snow (Canadian Version)
Nectar Classic Hybrid
The Casper Snow (Canadian Version) and Nectar Classic Hybrid perform similarly, but for most people, the Casper is a better choice. As its name implies, the Casper Snow (Canadian Version) is marketed as a cooling mattress, and if you run hot, it's the better bet to keep you cool throughout the night. It's also much more responsive than the Nectar—it bounces back instantly when compressed, so changing sleeping positions is effortless. When it comes to edge support, however, the Nectar comes out ahead, so if decent edge support is a must-have, it may be a better choice for you.
