Sleeping Type

Casper Mattresses8.8

Original Hybrid Mattress

This original hybrid mattress caters for the needs of every sleeper.

For side sleepers, the zoned support layer cuddles the shoulder and keeps the rest of the body especially the spine in proper alignment.

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.

Wave Hybrid Mattress

At 6.5 on the firmness scale, the wave hybrid might not be the ideal one-firmness-fits-all sleepers kind of mattress.

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

The Nova hybrid mattress is on the medium soft range on the firmness scale.

For side and back sleepers, this mattress is ideal but for stomach sleepers, they might need to reconsider because this mattress might not grant them the extra support they need for their hips.

 

Nolah Mattresses9.6

All Nolah mattresses are exclusively made for back and side sleepers with the exception of Nolah Signature 12″ Mattress and Nolah Limited Edition 12″ Mattress. These two exceptions cater for the need of stomach sleepers with their 2-side firmness flipabble construction.

This means that these two exceptions are suitable for every kind of sleeper while the other two – Nolah Limited Edition 10″ Mattress and Nolah Original 10″ Mattress are made for back and side sleepers since they fall within the soft and medium-firm range of the firmness scale.

This range is universally ideal for every sleeper but stomach sleepers can demand it a little more on the firm side which the flippable mattresses from Nolah affords adequately.

Dimensions
