Construction & materials

	Casper Nova Hybrid	Tuft & Needle Original
Layers	Breathable AirScape Polyurethane Foam, Zoned Polyurethane Foam, Contoured Memory Foam, Durable Base of Polyurethane, Foam with Encased Springs.	The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft., The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.
Cover	A super plush and stretchy top. This velvelvety-soft layer makes bedtime feel extra cozy. Knit fabrics stretch in 4 ways so you feel the full benefits of the layers below. The added pillow-like fabrics cradle your body and make you feel as if you were sinking into a cloud.	Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only. Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.

Comfort	Cooling helps keep you at the right temperature for your best. Two layers of perforated breathable foam help reduce heat. Plus every mattress saves up to 70 recycled bottles from the environment. A top layer of proprietary perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat, the tiny holes move hot air and body heat away. With a thin coating of cooling gel that adds a refreshing feel. This innovative cooling system is designed to help keep you cool all night. Second layer of AirScape helps prevent overheating. These air channels allow heat to escape. Resilient springs increase airflow.	Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress. Heat Wicking Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body. Breathable With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress. No More Quicksand Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply. Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.
Support	Superior plushness without sacrificing support. More support where you need it most with the plushness you crave. Zoned Support Pro offers 7 zones of targeted support for healthy spinal alignment, softer foam around the shoulders provides more relief to the upper body and multiple ergonomic points under shoulders, hips, waist and lower back. A firmer border provides edge support to help you get in and out bed easily. Premium AirScape foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure. This has a plush, velvety soft feel. A second layer of supportive foam has 3 ergonomic zones to help align your spine and provide more relief. A third layer with Zoned Support Pro relieves pressure under the shoulders, and provides more support under the waist, lower back, and hips to align your spine. These zones reinforce support from the layers above. Fabric-wrapped springs provide active support and a little lift.	Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot. Supportive Base Layer Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress. Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.
