Side Sleepers:

The Dream Hybrid and Dream Max each have a medium feel, and are likely to provide a good balance of pressure relief and support for side sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. Sleepers over 230 pounds tend to prefer firmer mattresses with more support. When sleeping on their sides on these mattresses, individuals in this weight group could experience more pressure buildup and sinkage, particularly around their hips.

Because the hips and shoulders tend to be the widest parts of the body, side sleepers frequently experience pressure points around these body parts. The soft, multilayer comfort systems of these mattresses spread out body weight more evenly to relieve pressure points. The zoned foam layer gives more support to the midsection of the sleeper’s body to reduce the risk of their hips sinking in excessively.

Back Sleepers:

The Dream Hybrid and Dream Max can provide excellent support for back sleepers under 130 pounds. However, they are less supportive for individuals who weigh more. To maintain proper spinal alignment, back sleepers usually require a relatively even surface that doesn’t sag. The zoned memory foam can help reduce sagging around the midsection of the mattress, which may be beneficial to back sleepers.

The medium feel of these mattresses may cause heavier individuals to sink in more and put their spines out of alignment. This effect is less noticeable for back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, who may still find the Dream Hybrid and Dream Max quite comfortable. However, back sleepers over 230 pounds are more likely to experience sinkage around their midsections.

Stomach Sleepers:

The Dream Hybrid and Dream Max’s zoned memory foam layers reinforce the middle of the mattress, reducing how far a stomach sleeper’s midsection can sink in. While this targeted support may make the mattresses better suited to stomach sleeping than some hybrid mattresses, the medium feel and thick comfort layers could be a drawback for people who primarily use the stomach position.

The stomach sleeper’s midsection can sink in quite a bit before reaching the zoned layer. Additionally, the medium feel is softer than ideal for many stomach sleepers, especially heavier individuals. However, stomach sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds are likely to find the Dream Hybrid and Dream Max sufficiently firm and supportive.

Casper Dream Hybrid Mattress Review Breakdown

The Casper Dream Hybrid is a hybrid model made up of two foam layers over foam-encased pocketed coils. A knit cover gives the mattress a soft, breathable surface.

The comfort system is constructed with a top layer of open-cell polyfoam that allows cooling airflow while cushioning the sleeper. The next layer is made of memory foam divided into different firmness zones to provide targeted midsection support. In the support core, pocketed coils encased in dense foam reinforce the sleep surface while adding more bounce and breathability.

The Dream Max builds on this design with the same components, plus an extra 2 inches of memory foam that act as the bed’s transitional layer. Airflow channels increase circulation to help the mattress stay cool.

Both mattresses rate as a 5 on the 10-point firmness scale, which translates to a medium feel. This is on the soft end of the average range for hybrid models. The Dream Hybrid measures 12 inches thick, and the Dream Max measures 14 inches thick.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Casper Dream Hybrid’s price-point is comparable to the average hybrid. Since the Dream Max is a luxury upgrade, this model costs considerably more.

The Dream Hybrid comes in all the standard mattress sizes as well as a split king, while the Dream Max is not sold in a twin size. We’ll list the prices of each mattress size below. However, shoppers should keep in mind that Casper frequently runs promotions that could help them save money on a Dream Max.
