Ranked #6 in Best Memory Foam Mattresses Queen

Casper

3.7

4 sources$1,899as of Aug 1

Casper mattresses are easy to try before buying, with a 100-night trial and free returns. The Casper One, the base all-foam model, aims for balanced comfort and support, which works for back sleepers but less so for side sleepers or anyone over 250 lbs. Mattress Clarity's Martin reported good motion transfer reduction and a medium-firm feel around 7/10, with some side sleepers hitting pressure points. The hybrid models add cooling features and spring support; the basic foam models stay middle-of-the-road. Average-weight back sleepers are the right buyer, and heavier or side sleepers should look at alternatives.

Strengths

— Easy to try and buy with quick shipping and store availability
— 100-night trial and free returns
— Minimalist design with smooth gray sock-style cover

Watch-outs

— Not ideal for side sleepers due to pressure points
— May lack sufficient support for heavier individuals (over 250 lbs)
— No specific foam density information provided by manufacturer

Leesa Original

4.4

8 sources$725as of Aug 1

The Leesa Original Mattress is a memory foam bed that cradles without going soft, which puts it in range for back and side sleepers under 200 pounds. YouTube reviewer Owen from The Slumber Yard walked through its three-layer construction of dense support foam under a memory foam top. It ships with a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty. Heavier sleepers are told to look elsewhere, since they may run into heat retention.

Strengths

— Combines gentle cradle of memory foam with underlying firmness for balanced support
— Well-received by testers for its medium-firm feel that suits back and side sleepers
— Includes a 120-night trial period for risk-free testing

Watch-outs
