Casper Mattress Review

We have plenty to say about the Casper Mattress, as it’s one of the most popular online bed-in-a-box brands on the internet. You might’ve even seen a Costco Casper mattress or walked past the brand’s products in your local Target. Casper is partly responsible for bringing online mattress shopping to the mainstream. They offer three different beds, but this Casper Mattress review will focus on their flagship bed. Our mattress reviews tend to be lengthy, so in order to make it quick for you to get where you want to go, below is a list of jump links to take you to any section of this review.

Casper Mattress

Casper is a great value that is also a great fit for all three sleeping positions. Use the code “MATTRESSCLARITY” to save $100 on your order!
Casper now has a three layer, 11″ construction
  • Support foam – This is the base layer that creates the support system for the mattress.
  • Memory foam – The middle layer is a zoned layer of memory foam, which means there are more supportive pieces in certain targeted areas, like the middle section where a sleeper’s hips and trunk would be. The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress has a zoned support framework as well.
  • Open-cell foam– This top layer is perforated to pull in airflow (Casper calls this AirScape).

Altogether, you get ~11” of memory, poly, and proprietary foam. Casper’s proprietary foam contributes to the overall soft neutral-foam feel of the bed.

All of the foams in the Casper mattress are approved by the CertiPUR-US program, which means they have low VOC, are made without ozone depleters and are not harmful to you or the environment.

“Zoned” layers are becoming more popular in the industry. If a layer is described as “zoned”, that means it’s more supportive in certain targeted areas, like the middle section where a sleeper’s hips and trunk would be. The Casper Wave Hybrid mattress has a zoned support framework as well, albeit it’s more much advanced.

Casper has a space-age looking cover

If you do need to deal with a spill or stain, you can spot clean it. In the case that you’re especially concerned about getting a thorough clean—like if you suffer from awful allergies that require bi-weekly deep cleans of all your linens—you can add a mattress protector, like one of these from Amazon. Just know that, depending on the thickness and material of the protector, it may stifle airflow through the mattress and might affect the surface feel a bit.

You might want to rotate the mattress 180° every 3-6 months or so if you share your bed with a partner whose body weight is significantly different than your own. Rotating the bed will help the mattress wear more evenly over time.

Edge support is only worth paying attention to if you sleep with a partner

We do think Casper is a good pick for couples. For one, this bed has decent edge support, meaning you aren’t going to get too much of that roll-off feeling if you happen to find yourself near the edge of the mattress.

Motion transfer
Casper also performs well in terms of motion isolation. All-foam beds generally do a good job of limiting cross-bed motion, and the Casper bed is no exception to that.
Temperature Regulation

In our opinion, the Casper bed does not sleep hot, but it doesn’t sleep cool either. This bed is what we call temperature neutral, which is the case for most beds you can buy online. The new AirScape design on the comfort foam does help with airflow, but not enough to call it a cooling bed.

Even so, for most people, we think Casper will be fine in the temperature-regulation department. We can’t imagine many people complaining about overheating on the Original Casper mattress.

SLEEP POSITION

SIDE SLEEPERS

Most side sleepers should feel comfortable on this mattress, with the exception of more petite people. Because petite people don’t sink into the mattress much, side sleepers who are petite might find this mattress too firm.

BACK AND STOMACH SLEEPERS

We’ve found that even though Casper isn’t a particularly firm bed, the combination of various foam densities and its zoned design make it more supportive than you might expect.

COMBO SLEEPERS

Because the bed isn’t overly firm and the mattress is essentially split into different zones, these types of sleepers will get the pressure they need for key areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Casper a good mattress?

Casper is a quality all-foam mattress great for all sleeper types under 230 lbs, especially combination sleepers. It also has a comfortable, neutral-foam feel that most people seem to really enjoy.

Will side sleepers like the Casper mattress?
Yes! We fully expect that most side sleepers will like Casper. As we note in our Casper mattress review, it’s not too soft or too firm.
Will Casper set up my mattress for me? Will they take away my old one?
In-home setup is not a standard part of Casper’s policies, but it does have some “In-Home Delivery & Setup” markets, which basically means white glove delivery is in some areas upon request. If you live in one of those market areas and opt for an in-home setup, the workers will also remove your old mattress.
Do I need a box spring for my Casper mattress?
No, you don’t need a box spring for your Casper bed, or most online mattresses for that matter. Instead, we recommend metal or wood-slatted bed frame, or a flat mattress foundation.
How much does a Casper mattress cost?
Casper is priced averagely compared to other online beds. A queen-size bed retails for $1,095, but you can usually get your hands on one for 10-15% off.
What is the “Zoned Support” technology?
A simple explanation of the “Zoned Support” system is that the center of the bed is firmer/more supportive and the top and bottom are more pressure relieving.
How did the Slumber Yard get the Casper mattress?
We were sent this mattress from Casper to review it. However, we did not accept any monetary payment from Casper (or any other company) to say good or bad things about this mattress.
