Casper Vs Tuft & Needle Vs Leesa | Mattress Comparison

A Comparrion of Casper, Tuft and Needle, and Leesa

When you are researching a mattress purchase, we know that reviews of mattress types can help you make the right decision. Ross Paumen is here to help you find the best mattress that fits your preferences.

CASPER MATTRESSES:  Casper was one of the online companies that helped pave the way for the online market.  In 2014-2016 they continued to grow.  They have had several rounds of fundraising and even have some celebs involved.  They have a universal feel many people will like!

Tuft & Needle:  Tuft and Needle is a brand that has been around online for quite some time.  They are one of the top mattress brands on Amazon.  Tuft and Needle use poly foam on top and a foam core for support.  One of T&N’s best selling points is the price.

LEESA MATTRESSES: Leesa is one of the most sought-after online brands thus far in the Uk and USA.  Leesa is an all-foam mattress.  Leesa uses Avena foam on the top layer which is convoluted and aerated, both aid in cooling. Avena has a similar feel to latex.  Next, they use a layer of memory foam for additional support and body conformance.  They have built a quality mattress with a good medium feel that sleeps well in all sleeping positions.

Below is our full assessment of each brand.  We have covered how they feel, and perform and we will provide our recommendation on which brand you might want to consider. Note: there are also specific mattress types that are better for heavy sleepers.

You will like

Casper:

  • Like to sleep cool – Foam mattresses can sleep warm.  However, the design of the Casper with latex on top and memory foam on bottom helps it disperse heat efficiently.  I did not experience excessive heat at all.

  • Sleep in multiple positions – This mattress is a good medium feel with good body conformance.  Sleeping on your side, back or stomach Casper will conform to your body very well.

  • Like the combo of bounce and body conformance – With the latex layer on top Casper maintains good bounce which makes it easier to adjust positions and not feel stuck.

  • Want good bounce paired with body conformance & pressure relief – The performance poly foam and memory foam layer perform very well together to have a great balance of bounce/response and body conformance with pressure relief.

Tuft & Needle:

  • You want a good value –  One of T&N’s biggest selling points is their price. They have one of the cheaper prices online.  So there’s value there.

  • Like to sleep cool – Foam mattresses can sleep warm.  However, T&N uses a poly foam that slept cool for us.

  • Like a lot of bounce – Poly foam offer much more bounce than memory foam.  Making it easy to shift positions and not feel stuck.

  • Sleep in all positions –  The firmness of T&N lends itself to performing well in all sleeping positions.

Leesa:

  • Want a good value – Leesa comes in at a competitive price when compared to many big furniture store brands.

  • Like to sleep cool – Foam mattresses can sleep warm.  Leesa uses a convoluted and aerated layer of Avena foam on top which aids in cooler sleep.I did not experience excessive heat at all. Kayla is typically always cold so heat was not an issue for her either.

  • Want proof  of product – Leesa has thousands of 5 star reviews.

  • Are looking for a mattress to fit all sleeping positions – Leesa is a good medium feel and it performed well for all of our sleeping position tests.

  • Want good bounce paired with body conformance & pressure relief – The Avena foam and memory foam layer perform very well together to have a great balance of bounce/response and body conformance with pressure relief.

  • Value a company who gives back – Almost all of the companies online do some philanthropy, Leesa seems to take it a step further.  They have programs with 3 separate initiatives. They donate mattresses, plant trees and they support their local community.

You might not like

Casper:

  • Are 280lbs or more – I would recommend something different if you are a heavier sleeper.

  • Do a lot of activities sitting on the edge of the bed – Sitting on the edge the mattress sinks down about average for a foam bed.  If a very sturdy sitting edge is important to you you may want to consider something with foam encased edges or a border wire (coiled/spring mattress primarily). Laying on the edge was not an issue however, you still have the entire sleep surface usable.  (see video for demo)

  • Want a innerspring mattress – It can take time to get used to a foam mattress, if you already know you don’t like all foam mattresses you should stick with a coiled mattress. The Casper is a comfortable mattress but it won’t probably transform you from a spring fan to a foam fan.

Tuft & Needle:

  • Are 280lbs or more – I would recommend something different if you are a heavier sleeper.
  • Prefer a coil mattress – T&N is an all foam mattress.  T&N won’t change your mind most likely if you are a innerspring lover.

  • Need as good of pressure relief – Personally I felt like the poly foam didn’t have quite as good pressure relief as a mattress that uses more of a premium comfort foam on the top layer such as memory foam, gel memory foam, latex or aveena foams.

Leesa:

  • Want a firm mattress – Leesa is a medium-medium soft feel.  If you prefer an extra firm mattress you will want to look elsewhere.

  • Don’t like foam mattresses –  If you are a spring mattress lover you may want to consider something with coils.

  • Are a stomach only sleeper – Although Leesa performed well for us in all sleeping positions if you are a stomach only sleeper you may want to consider something a tad firmer.

  • Are 280lbs or more – I would recommend something different if you are a heavier sleeper.

Construction

Casper:

  • 1st Layer: Comfort & Temperature Control – The top layer consists of one and a half inches,  latex foam that is made to be responsive, and does not retain body heat.

  • 2nd Layer: Pressure Relief, Support & Additional Heat Dispersion – The middle layer consists of 1.5″, memory foam.

  • 3rd Layer: 1.5″ poly foam

  • 4th Layer: 5″ Foam Core

Tuft & Needle:

  • 1st layer – the top layer of the T&N is a 3″ layer of poly foam. This layer is designed to provide most of the support, comfort & cooling attributes.

  • Bottom layer Core/Support Foam – the bottom layer of the T&N is a 7″  base support foam.  This layer acts as a foundation and provides deep support and adds to body conformance.

Leesa:

  • Top layer: 2″ of Avena foam. Avena is acts and feels like latex, except tests show that it is more durable. This layer is designed to provide comfort, cooling and body conformance.

  • 2nd layer: 2″ layer of memory foam. This layer provides support, pressure relief, and additional body conformance.

  • Bottom layer Foam Core: This layer is a foundational base for the mattress.

His & Hers Firmness & Feel

MY THOUGHTS (ROSS)

Casper:

The Casper Mattress is about a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale.  With the top latex layers fast response it is easy to adjust sleeping positions.

Casper has good body conformance and is easy to adjust positions on with the responsive layer being on top it has good bounce.  The overall feel is universal to all sleeping positions and will suit most people.

Tuft & Needle:

The Tuft and Needle overall felt pretty good for the price.  It did conform well and perform well in all sleeping positions.  The poly foam has a different feel than most of the memory foam or latex mattress.  It’s hard to explain really.  It feels pretty good but I think it’s lacking in the pressure relief area.

Leesa:

The Leesa Mattress impressed me for the following reasons.

A.) The overall feel of Leesa impressed me.

B.) They are one of a couple of 10″ mattresses that use 4″ of premium foams on top.  Most are 3-3.5″.  This makes the mattress conform to your body better and also makes it have fantastic pressure relief.

C.) It worked well in all sleeping positions.

D.) The mattress slept cool and had good motion reduction and a good combo of bounce with pressure relief.

HER THOUGHTS (KAYLA)

Casper:

The Casper performed well for me.  I am also lighter at 125lbs.  The top poly layer supports your lower back very well and bounces back quickly if you adjust positions.  I’m always worried about motion transfer since Ross moves around a lot.  Like most foam beds the Casper has very little motion transfer.  Like Ross said the Ghostbed on paper is more mattress for less money but you still might like the feel of Casper better.

Tuft & Needle:

I thought the Tuft and Needle was nice for the price as well.  They have tons of good reviews on Amazon and I’ve read reviews that they hold up well so that’s good.  It felt good for me sleeping on my side and stomach.  Check out T&N Amazon reviews as well.

Leesa:

I really liked how the Leesa mattress conformed even being lighter in weight.  It was a bit softer which I like.  For side sleeping it was very good for me as well.  Overall Leesa is my favorite mattress we have reviewed so far.  The Avena foam was very responsive and had good bounce.  The motion reduction properties were very good too.  Ross likes to move around a lot so that was helpful for me!

Temperature

Casper:

The Casper had no problems with sleeping hot.  The design with 1.5″ of poly over the memory foam helps this mattress with heat dispersion.

Tuft & Needle:

Tuft and Needle has no issues for us with sleeping hot.  Poly foam generally disperses heat very well.

Leesa:

Avena foam has the same cooling properties as latex.  In addition, Leesa uses a convoluted and aerated Avena layer on top.  It circulates air easily.  The memory foam layer also draws heat from the top layer.  It never got excessively hot for us.

Off Gassing

Casper:

These mattresses are made in the USA so they are not roll packed for very long. I think sometimes people confuse this and think that any “smell” is “hazardous”.  No matter which mattress you choose you will have some element of a “new mattress smell”. 

Any smell this will dissipate within a day or two and this was not bothersome at least for us.

Adjustable Base Performance:

Casper, T&N & Leesa will work great on an adjustable base being all foam mattresses. You may also what to check out our review of Tuft & Needle and the Addable Mattress

Overall Summary

Overall, I was impressed by the Leesa Mattress and the company. I spoke with the owner as he was coming back from London and had just donated a bunch of mattresses to a community in need. He really believes in giving back more and more as the company grows. The feel, support and pressure relief of the Leesa was great. I recommend giving it a try for sure.

Conclusion: All of these mattresses provide a great universal feel. They both will work good in all positions, neither sleeps hot. All of them are a 10″ mattresses as well so if you are 280lbs or more I would consider something thicker. All of these are good options for anyone looking for a medium all foam mattress.

I would say Leesa is the best for side sleeping. Casper & T&N are about the same firmness and I feel Leesa is a tad softer. All of these have tons of great reviews. I personally wish they would all come out with a 12″ mattress so it would fit more weights and bottom out less easily. If you have other questions ask away!
