Looking at the score alone, Purple is the higher-scoring mattress, but considering Casper’s performance, there are still many good Casper options for a much lower price than Purple. The big advantage of Purple is the exceptional cooling performance, but that also means higher bounce, worse edge support, and a higher sticker price.

For those who are hot sleepers, the Purple might be a better choice. For those looking for a firmer edge, the Casper will likely be more appealing. Both Casper and Purple make all-foam beds and hybrids. Their prices fall into a similar range, and both offer options for sleepers looking for pressure-relieving sleep.
