Hybrid Mattress with Zoned Support and Lofty Price

Casper Wave Hybrid is a luxury hybrid mattress made in the USA. This medium-firm mattress features zoned support and sells for $3,499 for a queen size. Its price tag is significantly more expensive than comparable luxury hybrids like Logan & Cove, despite having many similar features.

Note: Casper Wave Hybrid was available in Canada through the Casper website but has been replaced by a new version: Casper Wave Hybrid Snow. You may still be able to find the Wave Hybrid through individual retailers.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

Note: The Wave Hybrid was available on Casper’s website, but has been replaced by the Wave Hybrid Snow. The new version of this hybrid cooling mattress is available on Casper’s site for an even higher price than its predecessor. You may still be able to find the Wave Hybrid through some mattress retailers.

If you live in any Canadian province, you can buy the Casper Wave Hybrid mattress from the Casper website. However, if you live in a Canadian territory, Casper won’t deliver mattresses to you; they only deliver accessories and only ship to capital cities.

As for the rest of Canada, shiping is free to most Canadian locations and occurs within 5–15 business days, including dispatch and delivery time. Your mattress includes a 100-night sleep trial. If you decide not to keep your Casper mattress, Casper will arrange for a full refund.

Wave Hybrid comes with a 365-year warranty. This coverage is standard for a mattress company, although other brands like Logan & Cove offer sleep trials and warranties as long as 365-nights and years.

Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress Construction

HeightLayersCertiPUR-US® CertifiedMachine Washable Cover

13″

The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress contains 5 layers constructed from latex, springs, foam, and gel pods. Combined, these layers provide cooling, ergonomic support, and durability.

  • Layer 1: The comfort layer is made of breathable polyurethane foam, coated with cooling gel for a refreshing sleep.
  • Layer 2: This layer includes natural and synthetic latex for added comfort and additional airflow and cooling.
  • Layer 3: This foam layer provides zoned ergonomic support and pressure relief.
  • Layer 4: The fourth foam layer contains gel pods strategically placed under your waist and lower back to prevent sinkage and promote healthy spinal alignment.
  • Layer 5: The support layer consists of foam with individually pocketed spring coils. These coils respond to your body for a boost of support and reduced motion transfer.

The soft knit mattress cover is a cotton and polyester blend, sourced from recycled plastic bottles. It isn’t removable or machine washable, but it can be spot-cleaned.

Mattress Performance Results

2.9 /10

Edge Support

Foam mattresses often score low for edge support, but a hybrid mattress‘s inner coils are expected to reinforce softer edges. Despite being multi-layered, Casper Wave Hybrid scored 2.9/10 for edge support, leaving plenty of room for improvement.

If you frequently sit on or lie close to the mattress edges, you may notice sinking and could have trouble staying on the bed.


6.9 /10

Motion Isolation

Casper Wave Hybrid has reasonably good motion isolation, earning 6.9/10 in this category. However, the centre of the mattress is slightly less effective at absorbing movement than its edges. You may also notice more motion if you’re lying on an area that contains gel pods.

If you want slightly better motion isolation in your mattress, consider Logan & Cove, which scores 7.5/10.


5.4 /10

Bounce

A high level of bounce in a mattress can make it easier for you to change position while you’re sleeping. Given its robust spring base and centre layers, Casper Wave Hybrid has a fair amount of bounce with a 5.4/10.

However, bounce is a matter of personal preference. If you’re looking for a mattress with a lower bounce rating, try Logan & Cove, which receives a score of 5.8/10.

Cooling Features

Casper Wave Hybrid isn’t advertised as a cooling mattress, but it does have a few cooling features worth noting. This mattress earns points for its:

  1. Top layer of gel-infused foam that allows for enhanced cooling
  2. Latex foam layer, which adds breathability and air circulation
  3. Pocket coil layer, which adds further breathability and airflow

If you want a hybrid mattress with more cooling features at a better price, consider Logan & Cove Choice. Choice comes with a layer of cooling gel foam, individually wrapped steel pocketed coils, and its quilted mattress cover has cooling nanofibers and even more cooling gel to give you a cool, comfortable night’s sleep.

At just $999 for a queen size, Logan & Cove is also much more affordable compared to Casper Wave Hybrid’s $3,499 price tag.

Company Background

LaunchedCompany HQOwnershipBBB RatingTrustpilot Rating

2014

New York City, USA

Private

“A+”

“Poor”

Casper first emerged in 2014 as an early North American bed-in-a-box brand. The company expanded its product lineup over the years with substantial funding from organizations like the Target Corporation and celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher. Today, the company offers mattresses, bedding accessories, and home decor.

Based in New York City, Casper went public in 2020 but was taken private again in 2022 after a stock collapse. Casper also shut down European operations in 2022 and now exclusively operates within the US and Canada. In 2023, Sleep Country acquired the rights to Casper’s Canadian operations.

While the company is rated “Poor” on Trustpilot and “A+” on Better Business Bureau, Casper only has 1.09/5 stars for customer reviews on BBB at the time this review was written. Several negative Casper mattress reviews mention warranty issues, poor customer service, delivery problems, and other concerns.

Should You Buy Casper Wave Hybrid?

Casper Wave Hybrid is a cool and supportive mattress made with standout details like gel pods. However, Canadian hybrid mattresses like Logan & Cove offer comparable luxury features at a more competitive price.

Logan & Cove is sold at $999 for a queen, a drastic leap from a $3,499 Casper Wave Hybrid mattress of the same size. Logan & Cove also includes an industry-leading 365-night sleep trial and a set of complimentary accessories with your mattress.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Casper mattress cover machine washable?

No, the cover is designed for spot-cleaning only and can’t be removed from the mattress.

What does the Casper warranty cover?

Casper mattresses come with a 10-year limited warranty, with the exception of clearance items, which are covered for 5 years. This warranty specifically addresses manufacturing defects, not including any problems related to an unsupportive foundation or adjustable bed base. While the company suggests using a mattress protector, the warranty remains intact even if you choose not to use one.

Where can I buy Casper Wave Hybrid in Canada?

You can buy a Casper mattress through the company’s retail website or at one of Casper’s Canada-based Sleep Shops. You may also find it via third-party retailers including Sleep Country Canada, The Bay, and Walmart.

Where is the Casper Wave Hybrid mattress made?

Casper Wave Hybrid is manufactured in the United States.

How much does Casper Wave Hybrid cost?

The mattress costs $2,899–$4,499 depending on the size you choose. The queen size is available for $3,499.

Does Casper Wave Hybrid come with a mattress protector?

No, the mattress protector isn’t included. Casper offers a waterproof mattress protector at an extra cost. That said, your warranty will still apply even if you don’t use a protector.

Does Casper Wave Hybrid include cooling technology?

The mattress includes multiple layers of proprietary airflow technology and cooling gel. However, Casper Wave Hybrid reviews are mixed on whether the mattress actually stays cool, or whether it traps body heat. If you sleep hot, make sure your mattress provides the right level of cooling before you buy it.

What luxury hybrid mattress alternatives can I consider?

If you’re seeking a luxury hybrid mattress at a lower price, we suggest Logan & Cove. Both Logan & Cove Choice and Logan & Cove Frontier are similar in terms of size, mattress materials, and features—and they’re priced at about one-third of the cost of Casper Wave Hybrid.

Logan & Cove also offers a 15-year warranty, free shipping, a 365-night sleep trial, and free returns. Plus, their mattresses are made in Canada and come with a free bedding bundle that includes a mattress protector, pillow(s), sheets, pillows, and pillow protector(s).
