casper vs tempurpedic costco

From what I understand the Snow max uses lower density 2.5pcf memory foam, then has a couple of what are imo gimmicky cooling features such as graphite infused foam and phase change materials. It is a hybrid though and has air channels through the foam to allow heat to dissipate, so it still might not sleep especially hot. Then the Tempur adapt is their entry level mattress. It will have a polyfoam core instead of pocketed coils(unless you mean the adapt hybrid) and the memory foam Tempur uses will be a bit denser and higher quality. Especially once you start looking at their pro and luxe line of mattresses. I feel like Tempur overcharges quite a bit for what you are getting, but at least with them you know you're getting decent materials. The casper snow is also pretty expensive for what you are getting as well I would say. One downside to the all foam Tempur is it will likely build up heat much more than the Casper snow hybrid would. I would trust the durability of the Tempur more though. Another option Id like to throw out there, there is a company called Tempflow who makes mattresses to compete with TempurPedic. What I like about them is they are transparent about the materials in their mattresses, you know you will be getting nice high density foams and that they havent been decreasing the quality over the years like so many others have. What I dislike is the lack of feedback. This is a company that has been around for like 20 years and there is very little customer feedback online. You can find a few mentions on Reddit, a little bit more on The mattress underground, but thats really about it. Another option which I think is a great deal for the price, If you have an Original mattress Factory by where you live they sell the Serenity and Serenity Plush . This mattress has a super dense memory foam comfort layer, much more so than modern Tempur's even. 2" of 8lb memory foam, then 3" of 5lb memory foam, and a 2.25lb polyurethane foam base. imo if want to go Tempur Adapt and dont want their higher end mattresses. Look at the Costco models . With these you get Costco's return policy, which is basically they will take it back no questions asked, no return fees, no exchange only policy or sleep trials.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Any long-term Costco Tempurpedic Supreme owners here? Tried Casper and Avacado...

December 3, 2024 -

For context... I'm 6'0, 190lbs and have some si joint and lower back issues. I now know that I need a firm mattress for my back issues. I looked into building another DIY latex but I'm definitely not finding the $250 3" slabs that I used 8 years ago.

For the past 8 years, I've slept on a DIY Dunlop 12" latex mattress consisting of a 6" extra firm base, 3" firm, and 3" medium layers. It's now time to purchase a new mattress as one of the latex layers has separated/tore and in general feel that it's time to replace as a whole.

I've tried a Casper Wave Hybrid Snow and Avocado Green (firm or non-pillow top) mattress as a replacement but didn't get along with either. The Casper feels nice/plush when initially laying down for 5 minutes but after that, I sink in way too much and get lower back pain every morning as it is really really soft. The Avacado didn't feel as "premium or luxurious" as the Casper Wave but back pain was much less. However, the top comfort layer of latex is so thin, that I could literally feel the coils under my heaviest points when sleeping. They tried sending a 2" topper to use with it but it didn't help much. The zoning of the coils I didn't really like either. I also don't like the thick foam border that the Casper adds for edge stability as it causes me to roll towards the middle when you sleep close to the edge.

All that being said, I am tempted by the Tempurpedic Supreme Firm (all foam) at Costco. It's priced at $2200 and includes a $300 Costco gift card effectively making it $1,900. As with everything in life there are mixed reviews all over the internet for the Costco exclusive "Supreme" model.

It appears to be a mix of the Tempurpedic Adapt and ProAdapt models.

How are the quality of materials, durability long-term of the Supreme and also when compared to the Adapt and ProAdapt models solid officially by Tempurpedic?

UPDATE: My Supreme medium was delivered a week earlier than expected and I've had it for two nights now. When you slap or smack the mattress with your hand, it has a very very firm/hard feel and the first night I thought that I actually slept well. The second night wasn't great. When I first lay down in a side position, my lower back and hips feel supported with some pressure on my shoulder. Then as time goes on, the hips continually sink-in as body heat warms up the foam and in the morning I had lower back pain. I took pictures laying on the mattress in a side sleeping position. The picture that was taken in 15 seconds shows a straight/aligned spine, no issues. Pictures taken after laying for 30 minutes shows the hips sinking in and an upwards curve of the spine similar to my old latex bed that became too soft over time. Don't know if I should try the firm Tempurpedic Supreme or move onto a different mattress altogether that has a zoned support system. Tempurpedic has the LuxeAdapt series which has a 5 zoned system but is way out of my budget. Looking at Costco, I see a new Novaform Legacy Premier ($1,200 king) that has a zoned support layer which is firmer in the middle which should in theory help with my problem but I think that's a cheaper or less durable brand 🙄

Being that you’re a heavier person, I would say the Supreme Firm should work just fine for you, as it not only will it offer the firm support you need while not too firm as tempur reliefs pressure points pretty well. The Supreme Firm is more like the Tempurpedic Adapt then the ProAdapt, what I don’t like about the Supreme Firm is that it uses Tempur ES as it’s transition layer, which doesn’t makes sense to me, however the top layer if very firm initially when you lay on the bed. So it’s not gonna be as firm as the ProAdapt but a little firmer the Adapt medium, so in between the two. This however might be a pro to you depending if you don’t like how firm the ProAdapt firm is. I would give it a try, I have the Tempurpedic Supreme Medium Hybrid, that mattress is basically the same as the adapt medium hybrid just with a cheaper cover I guess, the bed works well for me, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed going with Tempurpedic.

Looking to upgrade my mattress for the Labor Day sales. Am currently looking at the Casper Snow Max and TEMPUR-adapt and can’t make a decision, was wondering what people think between the two brands.

I would not recommend Casper. They are overpriced and use cheap materials.
