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 currently have the Casper Hybrid Wave and it's still giving me lower back pain I have reached 30 days. I'm trying to give it a lil more time to see if my low back gets better. Now, i would like to know if anyone has gone from a Casper to a Tempur pedic pro adapt or breeze medium firm. If so, what are the highlights is it better than Casper or will my lower back pain continue on a Temper.
If you have back pain that soon into using a mattress get off of it.
You really can't compare casper and temper as casper is a memory foam mattress and temper is temper foam.
I bought the casper nova six months ago, which destroyed my lower back. I had to walk around in the middle of the night every night for a few minutes til the pain abated. That is a VERY soft mattress, and it was not supportive for me. The Wave is much more supportive, but the zoning on that mattress is really weird (I felt sort of a hump lying on it) and is not for everyone. I switched to Tempur Luxe Adapt Firm, which contours to every little nook and cranny in my lower back and is very supportive. ProBreeze Medium is very similar to the LA Firm, though I found the Pro Adapt medium a little too soft (for me) and the Firm WAY too firm, and not contouring enough. You should try them out at a Flagship store and see how you feel on them, but regardless of what you pick Tempur-pedics are, in my opinion, much better beds than Caspers.
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?
