We got the Casper Original a little over two years ago to replace an old innerspring that was wrecking my lower back. I flip between back and stomach most nights and I run warm. The first year was really good. It feels medium, a bit plush on top but you don't sink in like an all memory foam bed, and my husband rolling over doesn't wake me. Year two is where it went so-so. There's a softer patch where my hips go now, and on stomach nights I wake up with my lower back arched. It also holds heat in summer more than I'd like, we ended up adding a cooling pad. The edge is fine for sitting to put socks on but I wouldn't sleep right on it. For a lighter side sleeper I think it's a nice bed. For me it was fine, not more.

Much more comfortable for me than traditional spring beds, though I'm now looking for a hybrid that sleeps cooler and holds up longer.
Their Casper Original, bought in 2019, was too warm and very firm, which led them to add a latex topper.
They own a Casper Original and often wake up sweating on it, and have tried eucalyptus sheets to cool it down.
They bought a Casper Original a year ago; it was comfortable at first apart from the heat, then around six months in it turned painful for them and their partner.
After about a year on the mattress, they began waking around 30 times a night feeling boiling hot and moving around to find a cooler spot.
The original is a little too firm and sleeps hot, with frequent sore shoulders and hips
After six years the couple finds it so firm they're sore, and it makes the owner sweat
