When buying a new mattress, I initially purchased a Purple mattress. However, my boyfriend and I found it too firm, and we could not get used to the waffle grid feeling. We wanted something more plush and decided to go with the Nova! The first night on it, I was unsure how I felt because it seemed almost too soft. But after a week, it has firmed up slightly, and we LOVE IT!! We finally have that "can't wait to go to sleep and lay in my bed" feeling back. You sink in it just enough but also feel supported while being able to adjust throughout the night. We have always had foam toppers on our previous mattresses, and we don't need one with the Nova. We sleep amazing every night and are so happy we decided to switch over to Casper.
