Dream

I’m a big fan of my Casper Dream

I use a casper mattress. depending on ur price range i’d say the Dream Max or Snow Max but those r expensive, the Dream or Snow would work too. the Maxes just have more support (dream is not cooling and snow is cooling - i have one of the coolin ones)

Happy to hear this! I have lower lack pain and I just bought a Casper from Mancini’s. It’s getting delivered today. Not sure which one Costco sells but I got the “Dream.” We’ll see! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

> I want a firm or medium firm mattress. I’m a side sleeper & I just don’t want my back hurting anymore You're a side sleeper, you can't find a mattress you like because you're looking for firm or medium firm, which is the wrong mattress. Those mattresses will almost unanimously make your shoulders and/or hips hate life, and will cause your back to sag between your shoulders and hips. If you're on the lighter side you're in the soft pillowtop range, if you're more narrow maybe a soft tight top or hybrid, if you're on the heavier side you're still probably looking for medium pillow top or soft or medium hybrid, and if you have very pronounced shoulders and/or hips you probably need something that can conform a lot (which probably means softer pillow tips). And just so you know, most lines of mattresses have similar amount of support. They'll usually have the same coil /base foam system whether it's the firm or soft, the difference is the pressure relieving matters on top of that which is what you need for side sleeping.

Whatever it is it needs to be soft. This might be one of those scenarios where all the high density foams they talk about in this subreddit might be too dense for you to even imprint reasonably, so might be better off with a lower end version of something than the mid or high end (like a Sealy Posturepedic Plus instead of the Pro or Elite lines, for a less dense foam and skipping the extra lumbar support). Otherwise if you're going higher end probably something with some sort of fluffy wool or cotton pillow top. I definitely agree with the head boss of this subreddit though, that the best thing anyone can do before buying a mattress is going to one of those big mattress stores to actually try some stuff and see what you actually like. And if you find something you love for the right price, then you don't have to worry about mattresses anymore.

I personally struggle to see the value in Casper Snow and Dream lines at their normal prices. Sometimes they go on sale for 20-30% off which makes them more reasonable. But if you find a store that carries them go try them out and see for yourself. There are plenty of objective facts in regards to mattresses, but whether you actually like any given mattress is purely subjective.

Honestly, a mattress store. The best thing you can do is try out some stuff. You don't have to buy that day, although they will absolutely want you to. Also, work with the salesperson, answer their questions honestly, let them know what you're looking for, and let them use their experience to lead you through the options. Despite what some here think, they really only get paid if they help you find the right mattress for the right money. And if you do find the one for a price you're comfortable with, no need to keep worrying about it. Just buy the mattress protector so you have the potential comfort exchange.

In the meantime if your neck is hurting then you could probably work on getting a better fitting pillow. Ok your side your head should be basically flat, and fully in line with your back. If you're on too low of a pillow now this could even alleviate some shoulder pressure, and if you're on too high of a pillow then your neck is bent up at a weird angle and can throw everything off there. I'm not saying it's going to fix the mattress, but the mattress/pillow combo is very important. After that you're probably a good candidate for finding a soft topper, and probably only need an inch or two. I'm usually not a fan of toppers, but making the bed a bit softer is the primary use so that might be what you need.

We bought a Casper full size mattress when they were a new company, so over ten years ago. It’s been great. No sagging or low spots. One thing that convinced us to try it was a wear test (I think by Consumer Reports) simulating 20 years of wear with no signs of sagging.
