I highly recommend having at least two people around to lug it into your home and ultimately drag it into your bedroom. Pro tip: If you decide to try this mattress yourself, don’t underestimate how heavy it is. My fiancé and I have slept on the Nova Hybrid Snow for over two months since it was delivered to our doorstep in Casper's classic blue-and-white striped box. So when Casper offered to let me test its Nova Hybrid Snow Mattress-a new and improved take on its original hybrid that's been temperature tested by the company more than 150 times-I determined it was time to take my sleeping experience to the next level (again). I knew there had to be something better available.

But perhaps the worst aspect of this mattress? My bed often leaves my fiancé and I with stiff muscles and uncomfortable cricks in our necks and shoulders. Even with a fan in my bedroom, I typically stir and readjust a few times each night, which always leaves me feeling extra groggy in the morning. And since I’ve now been sleeping on it for over four years, it's definitely reached its midlife, according to the National Sleep Foundation (which recommends replacing your mattress every eight years).Īside from the mattress itself, I happen to be a chronically hot sleeper, to the point where I frequently kick the covers off in the night and wake up in a small pool of sweat. I wasn’t exactly unhappy with my purchase, but I definitely wasn’t thrilled about it, either.

The mattress I landed on suited me well enough: It had a firm, pillowtop covering with a bevy of internal box springs, but not much else. I didn’t know exactly what to look for in a new mattress, but I was convinced that the soft, sinking kind didn’t provide me with nearly enough support. It wasn’t until around four years ago that I finally traded in my beloved childhood bed for an upgraded version: a spacious and adult-friendly queen-size bed.
