The other issue with the firm mattress was a pulling feeling in my lower back. I’ve been consistently waking up aches and pains and having restless sleep and it sets the tone for the entire day. I’m also a morning person and love waking up when it’s still dark. I know I’m in the minority of sleepers, but the softer and cushier, the better.Īs a fully grown adult, I need eight hours of sleep and if I don’t get it I’m not the most fun to be around. To date, the best bed I’ve ever tried is a Tempur-Pedic LuxeAdapt and those are completely out of my budget at the moment. Even growing up, we had Sleep Number beds (wish they were available in France!) that I loved where you could adjust the firmness with a remote. I fully acknowledge some people like and need firm support to sleep.

It really was a shame because 1) the old mattress was not cheap, not by a long shot and 2) I’m someone who really, really likes to sleep 3) the quality of our sleep affects the quality of our life.įor the record, there was nothing wrong with our old mattress, so I’m not going to name it. Over the years, we bought different toppers to try to soften it up but nothing could change the fact that I hated our mattress. There was nothing comfy about it and was way too firm for our, well my, tastes. I’m a side sleeper and always felt like it was too firm to get comfortable, like my shoulder and hips were perched on a cement floor and not supported by a comfy mattress. It was apparently medium-firm but if you told me it was cinder blocks at this point, I’d believe you. I don’t know what we were thinking when we chose it. We bought our old mattress shortly after moving into our home just over six years ago and within a year or two I realized we were a little too hasty in choosing a mattress. So first, a word on our old mattress and why we were in need of a change. Did we like the Casper mattress and is this popular bed worth it? Read on for my Casper mattress review!Ĭasper mattress review: Honest thoughts about this popular bed In recent years, the bed-in-a-box model has become increasingly popular and I’d heard good things about Casper, so we bit the bullet just after Christmas and bought a Casper mattress in the hopes that it would be exactly what my back needed. I’d wake up achy and sore, unable to get a good night’s sleep, and couldn’t take it anymore. I can’t say it any other way: I hated my old mattress with a passion. After sleeping on a bed that was way too firm for about 6 years now, I knew I had to make a change.
