Read Full ReviewOverall
Casper’s signature pillow and Purple’s innovative pillow offer two very different sleep experiences. Customers will get that more traditional crisp and clean feel with the white cotton cover on Casper and its down-like softness in the filling. Meanwhile, the supportive but gel-like and squishy feel of Purple is less familiar but still very comfortable. Even Purple’s pillow cover offers a more performance wear-like feel that gives it a modern vibe. Which one is best for each of us really comes down to sleep position and personal preference. Combo sleepers who end up in all positions may enjoy the versatility of the Casper. Tried and true back and stomach sleepers who haven’t found success with foam options may want to give Purple a try. Still stuck on which one to get? Leave me a comment below and I’ll reply with my suggestion!Katie Golde
