Conclusion

While Saatva isn’t a bed-in-a-box mattress which is almost a taboo since it’s advent, Casper is. But Casper is an all-foam mattress and indeed packs some very laudable laid-back specifications that many sleepers would love.

On how they compare and who leads with an impressive edge, both has hybrid options which is great for the traditional feel of innerspring coils and then the comfortable bounce. Both offer varied options : three options for Casper and four for Saatva.

However, Saatva coasted to victory on the offering of varied levels of firmness to suit specific needs of sleepers in contrast to the one-size-fits-all approach used by Casper.

Saatva is the winner as it handcrafted with premium materials, including antimicrobial organic cotton, CertiPUR-US certified foams, and eco-friendly components. It is engineered for pain-free sleep, with dedicated lumbar zone support to promote healthy spinal alignment. Saatva includes the top five features found in luxury retail mattresses and combined them to make one perfect mattress (Luxury euro pillow top, Perimeter edge support, individually wrapped coils, spinal zone technology and Durable steel coil support) .  Saatva is a top luxury retail mattress with a price tag of a bed in a box.
