Nectar outsleeps Casper.
You get more ZZZs for less $$$.
More than 4 million happy sleepers trust Nectar for premium comfort at an incredible value. Let’s look at the layers of each mattress to understand the differences.
Both Nectar and Casper are memory foam...
- But unlike Casper, Nectar uses gel memory foam and gives you a cooling cover woven with heat-wicking technology. Casper’s cover is just “cozy.”
- Casper charges you more money, but gives you less mattress–two inches less of comfort and support. Nectar stands at 12″, while Casper clocks in at just 10″.
The Nectar Mattress
Cool-to-the-Touch Quilted Cover
Conk out cool with this soft, breathable cover.
Gel-Infused Memory Foam
Cushion every curve with two inches of high-density, pressure-relieving gel memory foam.
Dynamic Response Layer
Three inches of convoluted premium foam in split layers provides breathable support, plus crucial rebound and bounce.
Stability Base Layer
A sturdy six inches of conventional foam gives structure, so the top layers perform their best.
Slip-Free Lower Cover
No slip-and-slide here. Your mattress stays put, no matter which bedframe you choose.
Casper Original Mattress
Cozy Knit Cover
Their cover is soft and gray. Too bad it’s not cooling.
Casper Signature Foam With AirScape™ Technology
A responsive layer of foam is designed to soothe you to sleep with the perfect bit of bounce, while added AirScape® Technology keeps you at a comfortable temperature all night.
Premium Memory Foam
Absorbs pressure and cradles your body to help you stay asleep.
ProSupport Foam
A firm base layer of foam provides long-lasting support while preventing sinking and sagging.
Why Casper costs so much more than Nectar.
Casper has been in the mattress game for more than 10 years. It started back in 2014. As one of the first popular bed-in-the-box brands, people were excited to avoid the showrooms. And while the concept of ordering beds online was still new, Casper wowed people with unboxing videos on YouTube. Have you ever seen a bed-in-a-box inflate? Captivating, really.
Anyway, they got all this buzz and Casper quickly became a household name. Plus, they offered an “unheard of” guarantee: a “risk-free 100 night trial.”
But here’s the thing. This isn’t 2014 anymore. You have better options.
Nectar optimized the “bed in a box” product while providing a game-changing guarantee:
- A 365-night trial (Casper is 100 days.)
- A Forever Warranty™ (Casper is 10 years.)
Besides, it usually takes about 30 days for a mattress to adjust to your body properly anyway… So by the time a Casper mattress adjusts to your body properly, you’ll only have a little over two months left to decide how you feel about it. Nectar gives you over 5X longer to make sure it’s your perfect match.
So to sum it up:
- Nectar uses gel memory foam and is built with a cooling cover.
- Nectar costs less than Casper.
- Casper’s mattress is only 10″ tall. Nectar clocks in with 12″ of comfort.
- You can try out your Nectar for 365 nights risk-free. You can try Casper for 100 nights.
