Firmness Info
The Emma Original mattress is considered a medium-firm mattress. Rated a 5/10 on the firmness scale. It contours your body perfectly alleviating pressure points, as well as distributing your weight evenly. It adapts perfectly to your body shape while your spine stays aligned regardless of whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper.
The 3-inch Purple Grid™ layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed.
Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid. Similarly, customers who weigh 250-pounds or more have expressed a common interest in The Purple Premier, as it offers a bit more support.
The best way to feel the Casper Wave Hybrid is to take advantage of our 100-night, risk-free trial. If you're looking for a mattress that can sustain more weight, or you want to be lifted more than cradled, then our hybrids are a great choice.

  • Emma HRX Supreme® Foam.
The Purple Premier 3 is made with ultra-high-quality materials engineered for the perfect synergy of durability, luxury, and No Pressure Support:

  • 1" High-density cushioning foam help the transition between layers for optimal comfort

  • Zoned Memory Foam
  • Polyurethane Foam with Gel Pods

Comfort Info
The team of sleep experts have designed the Emma mattress to allow for good airflow and top notch moisture regulation so you stay cool and sweat-free while you sleep.
The Purple Grid™ has thousands of open air channels that feel cool as you lie doown and neutralize your body heat throughout the night so you sleep comfortably all night long.
The most advanced cooling system helps you stay at the perfect temperature all night. Airscape™ 3 with cooling gel offers 3 layers of perforated breathable foam help keep you cool, air channels allow heat to escape to prevent overheating and added cooling gel feels refreshing throughout the night. Plus every mattress saves up to 121 recycled bottles from the environment.
Support Info
A reinforced perimeter that not only helps prevent restless and active sleepers from falling off at night, but also helps all sleepers easily sit up in the morning.
The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move.
The Purple Grid™ is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body.
A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support.
The most advanced support system designed for less aches and pains. Zoned Support™ Max offers continuous ergonomic zones for full-body relief, softer foam around the shoulders provides more relief to the upper body and healthy spinal alignment for all sleeping positions.
The Wave Hybrid has enhanced edge support due to the firm foam perimeter encasing the springs, this means getting in and out of bed will be a breeze.
Comfort Specs
The top layer of groundbreaking AIRGOCELL® memory foam enhances breathability by absorbing and dissipating body heat so you keep your cool all night long. HALO® Memory Foam limits motion transfer so you won't notice your sleeping partners' movements.
Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material.
A top layer of proprietary perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat, the tiny holes move hot air and body heat away. This innovative cooling system is designed to help keep you cool all night.
Second layer of AirScape™ helps you stay at the perfect temperature all night. Tiny holes let hot air and body heat out so you don't get overheated
Third layer of AirScape™ helps prevent overheating.
Resilient springs increase airflow.
Support Specs
HALO® Memory Foam is both ergonomic and motion isolating. The 3 zones are designed to provide both spinal alignment and the pressure-relieving support for individual body zones, which include the shoulders, back, and hips. The High Resiliency Extra (HRX) foam layer is engineered to last for years, holding firm and preventing sag. Five adaptive cut-outs and over 100 supportive points distribute your body weight evenly to reduce pressure on your body so that you get support where you need it most.
Responsive Support Coils
Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Grid™ to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric.
The Purple Grid™ is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.
Premium AirScape™ foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure.
Memory foam with 3 areas of Zoned Support™ help align your spine and relieve pressure. Softer under shoulders and firmer around the hips, waist and lower back.
Gel pods under the waist and lower back add support and help keep your spine perfectly aligned in any position. Zoned Support™ Max reinforces the layer of memory foam above with continuous support zones to provide full-body relief and ease aches and pains.
Fabric-wrapped springs provide active support and a little lift.
