Knowing your sleep style is the first step in finding the most comfortable mattress for you. Every sleeping position has particular needs. A side sleeper needs targeted support in the shoulders and hips, a stomach sleeper needs overall firm yet gentle support, a back sleeper requires special support in the back and hips, while a combi sleeper needs a supportive mattress that can adapt to their changing sleep needs all night. Take note of how you’re positioned when you wake up in the morning as this could be your default sleep position.
Most mattresses are designed to suit all sleep styles, but choosing a mattress that is built to cater to your particular needs could bring you more sleep comfort. The Nolah Mattress is made with AirFoam™, a proprietary mattress material not found anywhere else. AirFoam™ is suitable for all sleep styles but side sleepers will especially love the hip and shoulder pressure relief better than a one-size-fits-all mattress. The Nectar, Purple, and Casper mattresses are made to suit all sleep styles. Therefore, may not offer the special targeted support you need.

Shopping ethically can be a real boon to American business. By buying American made, you're acting patriotically by helping American businesses and your local economy. It helps to know that the customer care department is based in the US. The Nectar mattress is made in China. The Casper is assembled in the U.S with imported materials, and the Purple mattress and Nolah Original 10 are both 100% made in the U.S.A.
The Nectar mattress is made from memory foam with a gel memory foam cover. It is in 4-layers and stands 11 inches tall.
The Purple mattress is made of polyurethane foam (Poly-foam). Poly-foam is a conventional foam, similar to what you’d find in a couch cushion or ‘egg crate’ mattress topper. The Purple mattress is made of 2 layers of high-density poly-foam with a Hyper-Elastic Polymer (elastomeric gel) Purple Grid on the top layer and stands 9.5 inches tall.
The Casper Original mattress is a 3-layer foam mattress with additional zoned support around the shoulders and back areas. It has a zip-off cover and is 12 inches tall.
The Nolah Original has a base of 7 inches of high density breathable foam, 1 inch of high resilience foam, topped with 2 inches of pressure relieving AirFoam™. This pneumatic (air-filled) foam offers a 100% temperature neutral sleep experience, thus, keeping you cool all night.

Stomach sleepers could find the Original 10 mattress a little too soft and should instead opt for the Signature 12. The Signature 12 is flippable, offering a soft and firm side. The firm side gives stomach sleepers even more pressure relief. Those with difficulty climbing into and out of bed should opt for the Original 10 as it’s two inches less in height than the Signature.
