The back and stomach sleepers are not left out. This hybrid mattress sits on the medium firm position of the firmness scale and covers every kind of sleeper.

Back Sleepers

For back sleepers, the coils beneath provide support and adequate firmness at the back coupled with a memory foam layer that contours perfectly. An additional latex layer limits sinkage to crown it all for back sleepers.

Side Sleepers

For side sleepers, this is also a great mattress so long as they are not too heavy.

Stomach Sleepers

For the stomach sleepers, this might not be the ideal mattress since it’s top layers are super soft and might not provide the needed firmness for their hips.

Nova Hybrid Mattress

All three mattresses come with the same level of firmness – the universally accepted medium-firm position on the firmness scale. This makes the mattresses suitable for every kind of sleeper (Back, stomach or side sleepers).

Conclusion

Casper and Leesa happen to share a few features in common. For instance, They both have the same trial and warranty period at 100 nights and 10 years respectively. They also provide one level of firmness which they said it’s great for just everyone.

When it comes to what they offer, Casper has three hybrid mattresses while Leesa has two hybrids to add to its original all-foam mattress.

But Leesa is a better brand when they compare. Leesa offers better comfort and support than what Casper provides.

Leesa’s premium back supports also puts it in a league of its own. overall  Leesa would be the better choice
