Our Verdict

Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge

Casper Snow

The Kirkland Stearns & Foster Pillow Top Lakeridge and the Casper Snow are both Medium hybrid mattresses, but the Casper is the better choice for most people. It layers two stages of memory foam over its coils, so you sink in deeply and feel closely hugged, and it offers much better support for back and stomach sleepers, whose hips stay aligned at any weight. It's also ideal for hot sleepers, offering excellent heat dissipation throughout the night. That said, not everyone likes the feeling of memory foam, so side sleepers may prefer the Stearns & Foster, which lets you move around and shift positions more easily.
