Molecule 1 VS Casper Original: Which One Would You Choose?
An Overview
Casper Sleep was founded in 2014 and has quickly established itself as a reliable mattress brand. Casper mattresses feature Casper 4D Sleep Technology, a mattress formula that combines a patented combination of materials to address the four dimensions of excellent sleep. Body alignment, temperature management, soft touch, and a restful night’s sleep are all guaranteed with this technology. The Zoned Support raises your hips to correct your spine and ease back and shoulder pain. AirScape foam enhances airflow and draws heat away from your body. The characteristic Casper Feel is created by a unique combination of top foams, which lull you to sleep. The Casper Original Mattress is offered in both all-foam and foam-and-spring hybrid versions.
Casper claims that the all-foam version will provide superior contouring and a glove-like fit. The hybrid is meant to generate extra lift, which could help with ventilation. Casper claims that both models offer medium to medium-firm support, making them suited for back, stomach, and side sleepers.
Molecule, which debuted in 2018, claims that its products are beneficial to people who exercise frequently and require “recovery-focused sleep”. The Molecule 1 Mattress is the company’s flagship model. It’s ‘air-engineered’ to help you sleep better and recover faster from pains and ailments at a low cost. It has a polyester and lycra cover that regulates the temperature. Its innovative cover material combines heat and moisture-wicking technologies to help regulate the microclimate between your body and the sleep surface. An incorporated temperature-sensitive polymer responds dynamically as your body temperature fluctuates during the night, controlling evaporation and cooling. The 3D geometrically zoned reflex layer provides targeted and adaptable assistance for different parts of the body.
Moreover, the mattress is manufactured following strict eco-friendly technology. Variable Pressure Foaming technology scrubs emissions with an air-sealed chamber and carbon beds, reducing emissions by 97 percent compared to the standard manufacturing process. Off-gassing and the need to “air out” our mattresses before use are also reduced as a result of this technique.
Casper Original is medium-firm, with a score of 5.5 on a scale of 10. Molecule1 also feels like a medium-firm mattress, with a score of 5 out of 10.
Casper Original is 11 inches thick and Molecule 1 is 12.25 inches thick.
From the point of affordability, Casper Original may be the choice of many.

Detailed Comparison of Constructions
Cover:
- Casper Original does not have any separate cover.
- Molecule 1 comes with a moisture-wicking cover made of polyester and Lycra.
Top Layer:
- The top layer of the Casper Original is constructed of aerated polyurethane AirScape foam, which promotes air circulation and keeps the foam (and sleeper) cool. To relieve pressure, the premium foam conforms to your body.
- The Molecule 1 Mattress’s top layer is made of open-cell comfort foam. The term “open-cell” refers to the fact that the foam allows air to circulate about your body. To help with temperature management, gel beads are inserted into this layer.
Second Layer:
- Casper Original’s inner layer is constructed of zoned memory foam that provides spinal and pressure point support. This foam layer is divided into three zones. The area beneath your head and shoulders is a little softer to relieve pressure. Then there’s a firmer section under your hips and lower back to give you a little more support and keep your spine upright. Casper then utilises the softer foam for the area under your legs once more.
- Molecule 1’s middle layer is 3 inches of foam that responds more flexibly than a solid slab layer and creates diverse zones of support, such as for your lower back. Smaller diamond zones for a softer feel around the head. Larger hexagon zones in the center are designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region. Smaller diamond zones for a softer feel around the feet
Third Layer:
- The hybrid and foam varieties of Casper Original have a different bottom layer. The foam type has a 5-inch polyurethane foam foundation that is robust. It’s designed to keep you from sinking and sagging while still supporting your entire body. Enclosed springs are encased in the polyurethane foam foundation of the hybrid. The durable springs give your dream mattress a little lift, support, and airflow. A stronger border gives edge support, making it easier to get in and out of bed.
- The Molecule 1 mattress’s bottom layer is made up of 7 inches of “support” foam that helps to keep the mattress stable.
