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?
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.

Hi everyone,
I am currently mattress shopping and could really use some expert guidance.
I tried some mattresses at mattress firm, and loved the tempurpedic adapt, but it’s just too expensive.
I want to get something through costco, and ended up between the Sealy Posturepedic 12" Hybrid Mattress and the Casper Cooling Select Hybrid.
I’m 6’2 and have scoliosis so i need something medium firm to support my spine
Does anyone have any recommendations? Open to other costco suggestions too
Has anyone tried both the 2020 version of the Casper Original AND the Casper Select from Costco? How do they compare in terms of feel?
Why I ask:
My fiance and I went to try the Casper at a local store today and actually loved it. While doing some more shopping though, we found that Costco also had a Casper Queen mattress that was $400~$500 cheaper than what Casper was offering both online and in-store.
Upon reaching out to Casper support to ask what the difference was, they told us that the Casper Select (Costco one) is in fact the older version of the current Original. The main differences are:
Casper Select/Older Original - 4 layers, top layer is breathable open cell foam, 12" height. Zip-off cover
Current Original - 3 layers, top layer has their new 'Airscape' foam for breathability. 11" height. They also removed the zipper on the cover so the top is no longer removable.
Again, I'm wondering if anyone's tried both of these and knows the difference in feel. We like the current original but if we can save $500 for a product that feels basically the exact same, then its a no-brainer. (Sleeping hot isn't an issue since it doesn't get crazy hot where we are)
-edit- To clarify, I havent tried the Costco Casper so dont know if it feels the same or not. Thats the part I'm hoping to get lucky and clarification on.
-edit2- The Costco Select Casper (aka the 2019 Casper Original) arrived two days ago. There was some chemical off-gassing scent, but not as much as others make it seem. It felt extremely soft during the first 24 hours and my body was slipping off everytime I sat on the edge.
48 hours later, it's definitely gotten more firm and is very close to the feel of the 2020 Casper we tried in stores. The edge support is also much better, although still lacking at the extreme edge of the bed (ie the last 2 inches).
I'll give it another 24 hours before making the call, but I'd say that the Costco was definitely the way to go vs the 2020 Original.
Similar edge support situation on both
Feel of 2019 is the same as the 2020 after expanding
2019 still has the removable zipper-cover that got removed for the 2020
was $400 cheaper
Hey y'all, it's just like the title says. Which is more durable? Which bed will last longer before it starts to lose support & change shape? I'd like to find the right bed and not need to buy a new one every year.
Specifically, the Tempur Pedic LuxeBreeze in soft VS the Snow Max in medium soft.
If you think neither, what do suggest for a side sleeper 195lbs, 6ft?
I stayed at an Airbnb with a super comfortable bed last week. Unfortunately this threw me down the rabbit hole of choosing a mattress.
I’m debating between 2 options. One is to recreate what the Airbnb had- a medium/ firm mattress, with a 3 inch topper on top. The other is a to get a Tempurpedic LuxeBreeze soft (my favorite from testing multiple out, I’m a 190 pound side sleeper)
The financially smart side of me is saying to get the Casper + topper (~1k from Costco and a SOL 3 inch topper) instead of the LuxeBreeze that I liked a little more but not a ton more (-5-6k), especially since I know I liked actually sleeping a full night on the first option. But it was only 2 nights, and I’m worried that I may be missing something (longevity, maybe the LuxeBreeze gets better over time and Casper gets worse, etc)?
Hey guys. So I’ve been dealing with upper back pain for 3-4 months, right behind my shoulder blade and when I look down and to the side at times. I believe it’s my mattresses fault.
I’m 190 athletic build, 5’9” Wife is 155 5’7” She side sleeps primarily and back sometimes, I mostly sleep on my back, and side sometimes. We have had a Nectar, and a Novaform, Im not sure how I feel about all foam Vs hybrid.
I have some hypermobility issues and rheumatoid arthritis, and I’m also a powerlifter which is a horrible combo that I choose to ignore.
Both of these would be from Costco
I know it’s highly dependent so reviews put me off any one I look up lol I don’t really want to go to a mattress store and have people hound me, and I would like to get from Costco for the returns. But I also know Costco has different versions of the mattress.
I actually do have the temperpedic from there now but am returning because it’s firm and way too firm, plus I can’t use a mattress topper like I thought I might because it’s so thick like how can you find sheets over that and a topper??
I’m tempted to try something different like saatva but then I wouldn’t feel safe in being able to return without a fee. I could just go with temperpedic medium but I kind of want to try something else especially if I could save $1000…
