A couple of years ago I replaced an extremely soft traditional spring mattress (that had become severely warped) with a middle-of-the-line Ikea foam mattress. The Ikea mattress, at least on a boxspring (as opposed to slats or directly on springs) was unbearably hard for me. I am overweight, and when I would lay down on my back on the Ikea mattress, my lower back would arch several inches over the mattress. I developed very frequent lower back soreness because of this. I finally had enough of the Ikea mattress, so I started researching alternatives, with the limitation that because of the pandemic I wouldn't be able to try out any mattresses at a store. Also, because of my very narrow stairs, I knew that the only King size mattress I would ever be able to move back downstairs when needed was an all-foam mattress (so hybrid options were out of the question for me).
I researched mattresses extensively for a few weeks. I started with Consumer Reports, which rates Casper's mattress very highly. I read and watched review after review online. I also asked my friends on Facebook what mattress-in-a-box they recommended, and a friend wrote to say that her guest beds are Caspers and that her guests always mention how comfortable they are. I finally settled on the Casper original (all-foam) and I couldn't be happier. I find it very supporting and I like that I don't sink into it. It's funny to see some reviewers on here write that it's way too firm, and others say that it's way too soft. I think it's a pretty perfect balance of softness and support. I am very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend it.
