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.

Conclusion
Tuft and Needle came in 2012 and brought in their A-game with three mattreses: two all-foam mattresses and one hybrid.
Tuft and Needle comes with its own patented T&N Adaptive Foam which promises an effective pressure relief from pressure points in the body.
Casper on the other hand is a great hybrid brand as it offers three of them. Casper performs better than T&N’ Adaptive Foam when it comes to support.
Casper uses a Polyurethane foam that has three zones dedicated for support which is carefully tailored to relief pressure off designated pressure points and alleviate back pains.
When it comes to comfort, Casper provides a better cool sleep using a cooling technology known as AirScapeTM which makes its mattresses cooler.
