Ever wondered if an innerspring or an all foam mattress is better for you? Our team of sleep experts have put together this in-depth guide, testing both the Casper and Winkbed to see how they better up. What features set them apart?

Our comparison of the Casper vs. WinkBed matches two brands with unique support systems designed to cradle your body in comfort while delivering exceptional spinal alignment.

Which is best for you? Will it be the innerspring and foam bed that combines conformance with support from a family-owned business in Wisconsin and Orlando? Or will it be an all-foam zoned system from the well-known California brand that is tailored to the body’s natural weight distribution and shape?

If you’re looking for more details about either of these brands, we invite you to look at our in-depth analysis here:

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)

WinkBed Construction

This hybrid brand is compressed into a cardboard box.

The plush cover is eco-friendly Tencel fabric that is tufted together with  a  gel-infused foam and wrapped around the 13.5-inch construction. Keep in mind that the other firmness options may vary in their construction slightly.

• The WinkBed’s Euro-style pillowtop includes 2 inches of gel foam to provide a plush feel that cradles your body and wicks away heat.
• The second layer is another 2.5 inches of SupportCell foam that should ease you into the bed’s coil unit.
• The innerspring layer stands 8 inches high and is constructed with spine-supporting steel coils that are tempered for strength and pocketed to reduce motion transfer while promoting good airflow. This layer also has multiple support zones to pushback in places where there’s more pressure.
• The base supports the coils and provides additional durability with 1 inch of polyfoam.

Casper Construction

Casper’s mattress is delivered to your home after being carefully pressed and rolled into a cardboard box.

A durable and breathable polyester fabric covers the 11-inch structure.

• The top layer contains a sheet of proprietary foam that delivers both comfort and bounce while allowing air to circulate through its open cell structure.
• The next layer transitions between the comfort materials and the supportive base with proprietary Zoned Support™ that can accommodate extra weight in the mattress’ center where the structure is firmer while still providing softer pressure relief at the top and bottom.
• The final layer supports the sleeper with dense and durable base materials.

Comparing Firmness (Support & Feel)

Our scale for firmness scores mattresses between 1 and 10, from cloud-soft to hard as a rock. The Luxury Firm WinkBed scored a touch firmer at 6.5 than Casper, which scored at 6. Both scores fall within the range of a flexible comfort level that works with most individuals and their preferred sleep position.

Though WinkBed is a hybrid mattress, its feel leans more toward innerspring with some unique features that relieve pressure relief. The pocketed coils conform to your shape along with the top quick-responding layers. The cover’s luxuriously tufted plushness also adds extra comfort and pressure relief.

The sturdy 8-inch springs also provide excellent support, and the circulating air through the coils and around the body helps keep its temperature regulated. The inclusion of gel in the EuroTop and breathable Tencel also helps this bed stay cool.

Casper’s all-foam construction is a stark contrast despite the similar firmness level. The top layer is responsive and soft and conforms quickly to your shape. Your body will then slowly engage with bed’s next layer made from memory product that melts your pressure points without being close enough to the body to overheat. Zoned Support™ can prevent your midsection from bowing uncomfortably when sleeping on your back or stomach.

Both brands work for a variety of shapes and sizes, but WinkBed does offer additional firmness choices if you need some additional softness or support in your mattress, as well as a Plus model for sleepers over 300 pounds. Casper’s approach is to design one extremely versatile model that suits a wide range of sleepers and body types.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Both brands have a similar level of sinkage depth that holds the sleeper in a gentle cradle without letting them disappear into the core of the mattress. This assists temperature control in both structures because the body comes into contact with air that is circulating through your bedroom.

Bounce on these mattresses is dramatically different. WinkBed has significant deep, medium, and surface level bounce that makes moving around on this mattress nearly effortless. However, Casper’s surface level bounce and cushioning depth help the sleeper from feeling stuck in one position.

Comparing Motion Transfer

Despite traditional innersprings’ reputation for transferring motion, WinkBed is built with individually pocketed springs that can compress independently of each other, a feature that improves motion isolation with the help of comfort layers.

However, memory foam beds knock it out of the park in this category because of their minimal bounce and their ability to absorb vibrations, and therefore, Casper might have a slight advantage among very light sleepers who worry about middle-of-the-night disturbances from their partner moving around.

Comparing Edge Support

WinkBed has put a lot of thought into its edges, reinforcing the sides of their coil units to offer exceptional support for your weight in both the seated and prone positions. Bed-in-a-box mattress brands with all-foam layering typically do not perform as well in this area, though Casper exceeds expectations here, and couples sharing a mattress should not feel as if they will collapse or bottom out on the sides when lying down or sitting.
