Our Verdict
Nectar Premier Hybrid
Casper Snow
The Nectar Premier Hybrid is a better option than the Casper Snow for most people. Both are moderately bouncy hybrid mattresses with medium firmness levels, but the Casper offers more contouring, and you sink further into it. The Nectar is a much more responsive option than the Casper, making it easier to change sleeping positions and move around. It also offers better motion isolation and edge support than the Casper, though not by much. On the other hand, the Casper Snow, true to its name, offers superior cooling. While both are good options for hot sleepers, the Casper transfers a lot more heat away from you, so if cooling is your top priority, you may want to consider it. Otherwise, the Nectar is the better bet.
