Our Verdict
Tuft and Needle Mint
Casper Snow
You might prefer either the Casper Snow or the Tuft and Needle Mint, depending on your preferences and sleeping position. The Casper is a slow-moving memory foam mattress with a hugging feel. The Tuft has similarly soft upper comfort layers, but a much more responsive, less contouring sleeping surface. The Tuft and Needle offers better motion dissipation, while the Casper is more cooling. Both stand out as good options for side sleepers, including lighter side sleepers, but the Casper is more supportive, making it better for back and stomach sleeping.
