Most of my adult life has been spent on Tempur-Pedic®. When I moved I left my king Tempur-Pedic behind for an older queen that my daughter had. It was very uncomfortable so I decided to try a Casper Twin XL. I got the hybrid because I'm in the "heavy" body group. I thought the springs would give me a better support.
On July 4th this year I made the switch to a new motorized base and the Casper which had been opened and allowed to air for about 12 hours. My first impression was the chemical smell. I'm a Chemist and am probably more tolerable than most. I knew that in time the smell would dissipate. It has finally gone at about 1.5 months. I never found it totally objectionable.
My first impression of the mattress was the unique feel. The first night I felt the individual springs. I was very conscious of each one as I moved around. I prefer to sleep on my back if I can but am more comfortable on my side with this mattress. I'm not so conscious of the individual springs that way and find that I tend to stay on my side all night. I am having difficulty getting to sleep since I switched.
I'm inclined to return it but might try a topper first to see if that helps. I've read the horror stories about Amazon not honoring the 100 night return policy so I might start with Casper first One would think they'd honor their policy.
I'll update this review if I do decide to make a change. I'm coming up on 60 nights.

I finally decided to call Casper and try to get a better sense of what the different mattresses wer like. From our discussion I concluded that the woman had never spent a minute on any of the mattresses.. So What to do? I started reading about other mattresses and they all sounded great until you read the reviews about people who purchased other brands which came with bugs and droppings, bad smells, etc. .So I finally decided to replace it with the Casper Wave but I didn't get a hybrid this time around. Irt turns out that more expensive is not necessarily better. The wave foam mattress, although it sounds like it should be soft is much thicker and very hard in comparison to the Nova hybrid. I haven't slept on it yet. From the feel, it is no harder than my former tempurpedic which I actually liked.
The good part about this story is that when I called amazon to return the Nove and order the Wave, they said no problem. They just refunded me for the first mattress and told me to order the new one. I asked about returning the Nova and they said to keep it, donate it or scrap it. I could do what ever I want
So there you have it. Should I have gotten the Casper Wave Hybrid? That part of the story may never be written. At least I now have two mattresses. I suspect one will become a sofa in my Granddaughters room.
