When you know your sleep style, mattress shopping will become so much easier. Are you a combi-sleeper, back, stomach, or side sleeper? Many mattresses are designed to suit all sleep styles, but choosing a mattress that is built to cater to your specific needs could provide you with more sleep comfort. For instance, The Nolah Mattress is made with AirFoam™, a proprietary mattress material not found anywhere else. AirFoam™ is suitable for all sleep styles but side sleepers will appreciate the hip and shoulder pressure relief better than a ‘ready-made’ mattress. When we compare Tuft and Needle to Casper, both are designed to offer sleep comfort to all sleep styles.
Mattresses that are made to suit all sleep styles may not provide the most pressure relieving comfort. There is no one size fits all with mattresses. Sleeping on a bed that does not support your major areas of concern, could bring morning aches and pains or exacerbate current health issues. Thus, find your sleep style before deciding on a mattress type.

When you buy locally made products, you’re contributing to your community and helping to keep a healthy local economy. Shopping ethically is acting patriotically and sustaining important local businesses. The Nolah Mattress is 100% American made. All the materials used in the mattresses, foam, and cover are 100% made and assembled in the U.S. When we compare Tuft and Needle to Casper with regard to build location, Casper is made with U.S and imported materials while Tuft and Needle is made in the U.S.A.
The Original Tuft and Needle mattress is made of 7 inches of high density polyfoam and 3 inches of Adaptive Foam. A simple design but could be attractive to those wanting to make a leap from an innerspring to foam mattress.
The Tuft and Needle Mint is made of 7 inches of high density polyfoam, 2 inches of adaptive foam, and a further 3 inches of Adaptive Foam. The additional layer of foam allows sleepers over 230 pounds to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep.
The Tuft and Needle Hybrid is a traditional hybrid design with A Tuft and Needle twist. A layer of pocketed innerspring coils are topped with transition foam, micro coils, and adaptive foam. A bouncy alternative to the Mint and Original variations.
The Casper Original is made in 4 layers, 7.5 inches of polyfoam, 1.5 inches of zoned transition polyfoam, 1.5 inches of memory foam, and 1.5 inches of polyfoam. The Casper Hybrid is based on a 1 inch layer of polyfoam, topped with 6 inches of pocketed coils, 1.5 inches of zoned transition polyfoam, 1.5 inches of memory foam, and 1.5 inches of polyfoam. The Hybrid may offer more bounce and edge support.
The basic Casper Essential is a 7.5 inch base of polyfoam, topped with 1.5 inches of memory foam, and 2 inches of polyfoam. Could be a good entry level option for those who have never slept on memory foam.
Casper’s more luxurious option takes the form of the Wave and Wave Hybrid. The Casper Wave takes the form of 7 inch base polyfoam, 1.5 inches of polyfoam infused with targeted gel pods, 1.5 inches of memory foam, 1.5 inches of latex, topped with 1 inch of polyfoam. The Wave Hybrid consists of 1 inch polyfoam base, 6 inches of pocketed coils with foam encasing, 1.5 inches of poly foam with gel pods, 1.5 inch of memory foam, topped with 1.5 inches of latex and 1 inch of polyfoam. The wave may be more suitable to couples while the Wave hybrid could be a little bouncy for those sharing the bed.
The Nolah Original has a base of 7 inches of high density breathable foam, 1 inch of high resilience foam, topped with 2 inches of pressure relieving AirFoam™. This pneumatic (air-filled) foam offers a 100% temperature neutral sleep experience, thus, keeping you cool all night.
The Nolah Signature is made of the same innovative new AirFoam™ as the original but with a twist. It is 1 inch of firm breathable AirFoam™ , 7 inches of high density foam, 1.5 inches of high resilience foam, topped with 2.5 inches of 100% temperature neutral AirFoam™.

Tuft & Needle and Casper mattresses are factory made with some being shipped to their stores. If bought in store, there’s no way of knowing how long the mattress has been sitting in the storeroom. Nolah takes a different approach by offering only bespoke mattresses to their customers. Your mattress only goes into production within 3 days of ordering so you get a mattress that is specially made for you. Your Nolah AirFoam™ mattress leaves the US factory within 3-5 business days of ordering and will reach you within 5-10 days in total.

It’s worth noting memory foam mattresses contain viscoelastic chemicals, these heat-trapping chemicals are known to typically make the mattress sleep hot. Nolah does NOT contain memory foam.
Some report the Tuft & Needle mattress is a little too firm for them, or the mattress is so light it slides off the base. Others say it sleeps too hot. *Tuft & Needle bed reviews are subjective, enjoy a free trial to gauge your own opinion
In some Casper mattress reviews, it’s reported that customer service is great but there has been some delays in delivery. Others report the mattress is too soft and sleeps too hot. *Casper bed reviews are subjective, enjoy a free trial to gauge your own opinion
Strict stomach sleepers may find the Original 10 mattress a little too soft and should opt for the Signature 12 instead, which offers even more pressure relief. Those with difficulty climbing into and out of bed should opt for the Original 10 as it’s two inches less in height than the Signature. *AirFoam™ bed reviews are subjective, enjoy a free trial to gauge your own opinion

The best mattress for hot sleepers is the 100% temperature neutral AirFoam™, with its billions of microscopic air bubbles that breath with you, pulling your body heat away from the sleep surface and out through the lower base levels. Hot sleepers finally have relief from heat trapping memory foam chemicals.
Tuft & Needle, Casper, and Nolah are respected mattress retailers. You should expect a high level of customer care from each of them. Mattress durability and price are two major concerns for anyone shopping for a new mattress.
The durability of AirFoam™ makes it more value for money over a memory foam mattress. Many people report sagging issues within the first year of sleeping on a memory foam mattress. While some enjoy the heat of memory foam and how the body sinks into it, most people prefer the support of pressure relief over sinkage.
It can be a difficult choice between Casper versus Tuft and Needle, Casper is more expensive but that doesn’t mean it’s better. They're both of similar quality. The Tuft and Needle price increase of up to 25% in 2017 was to cover the cost of their heavier foam, but, their current prices are still quite favorable for many.
When it comes to Casper vs Tuft and Needle firmness, they’re relatively similar at around the 6/10 range of medium-firm. Tuft and Needle comparison in firmness to Nolah Original is also similar at around the 6/10 range. Mattresses like Tuft and Needle, Casper, and Nolah are best placed on a bed base. If you’re considering putting your mattress directly on the floor, learn more about sleeping without a bed base, here.
A mattress free trial is the best way to decide if the mattress is for you, choose a company that offers free delivery and easy returns too. Then, all you need to do is sit and wait for the mattress to come to you. Save time and money by shopping online with a reputable mattress retailer. Try before you buy without obligation in the comfort of your own bedroom.
