Let me start by thanking everyone here for so much amazing mattress advice. I read pretty much every post and got some great advice from many, but especially u/the_leviathan711
Background/details: king size bed for 2 side/back sleepers with herniated disks and tons of joint pain. 5'10" 165lbs and 5'3" 156lbs. Do not like the feel of latex, have, in the past, been really happy with an IKEA hybrid that, sadly, broke down too quickly. Tested out lots of mattresses at a local store to figure out what feel we preferred. Loved the Tempur Adapt hybrid but have had a bad experience with the off-gassing, so didn't want one. More concerned about return policy than anything else. Considered DIY and got great suggestions for a build. Worried about the returning/exchanging of individual components, so didn't go that route. Locally, Costco has the best returns, so we looked at what they had available and chose the mattress that most closely resembled a combo of the DIY specs and the Tempur Adapt. The winner was the Casper Hybrid and it has been FABULOUS!
No pain when sleeping on side, wake up without joint stiffness, sleep well. Frankly, it feels like a miracle to not be in pain in the morning and to not toss and turn all night. The edge support is good, very little motion transfer and does not sleep hot (all things I was concerned about). Also, ZERO off-gassing.
Hope this helps someone!

I swear on me nan's life that buying this was the worst mistake I have ever made, it literally caused me to lose my job and my marriage to fail.
For crying out loud, this subreddit is next to useless.

How long will my Casper mattress last?
Every Casper mattress is engineered for both comfort and durability, our premium foams (and innerspring coils inside our Hybrid mattresses) provide lasting support for a full decade—our warranty backs it up.
What is the Zoned Support Technology in Casper hybrid mattresses?
Zoned Support is engineered to keep your spine in ergonomic alignment by providing support where your body needs it most, with firmer foam under the hips, waist, and lower back. Zoned Support Max combines our firmer center foam with a second layer of precisely cut channels to cradle the natural curve of your body while adding support to your hips, waist, and lower back for the ultimate ergonomic relief with our hybrid memory foam design.
How do I clean my Casper Mattress? Can I remove the cover?
Do not remove the mattress cover to clean it or the mattress or for any other reason. If you need to clean your Casper mattress or cover, we suggest spot-cleaning affected areas with water and mild detergent. Be careful not to saturate the mattress with too much water and/or detergent, as the foam in the mattress core will soak up water and detergent. Allow the treated area to air dry completely before putting your sheets and bedding back on.
For an easier method of keeping your mattress clean, we recommend the use of a stain and water-resistant mattress protector, which may be removed and cleaned as needed.

So I'm a side sleeper with a very firm mattress that has been screwing up my shoulder/upper back for almost a year; I tested out a casper hybrid mattress in store and it felt very soft/plush but still with some support.
(Ive tried several toppers for my firm mattress before including the casper one and sink right through / hate them!)
I know the costco casper hybrid version is different (and some reddit reviews says its firm, which I likely dont want) but Im wondering if anyone knows the actual difference between these 2 models, besides the price...
any advice or knowledge would be much appreciated!
