Conclusion
Plushbeds and Casper are both in the same league when it comes to their offerings. They offer three different mattresess each and that’s good for diversity since sleepers come with varying needs and choices.
Both mattresses also come with the same level of firmness. Each mattress has a unique firmness level attached to it and not necessarily a one-size-fits-all approach to the firmness feel. This gives sleepers special attention to the needs of their preferred sleeping positions.
However, PlushBeds leads when it comes to offering better comfort in a mattress. PlushBeds is a much more durable mattress with much better back support so overall PlushBeds is a much better option.
