Our Verdict
Novaform DreamAway
Casper Cooling Select
The Casper Cooling Select is a better mattress than the Novaform DreamAway. It's more versatile for a range of body types and sleeping positions, making it the safer choice for combination sleepers, couples, and guest rooms. The Casper is also more responsive, which makes it easier to move around. At the same time, it does a better job isolating motion, so if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns, their movements are less likely to wake you.
