Why you should trust us
I'k a senior staff author at Wirecutter who has spent the past two and a half years covering sleep and mattresses. Since I started working at Wirecutter, I've slept on more than than iii dozen different mattresses (and counting) at home, sampled dozens more in stores and at our offices, visited mattress factories, and attended merchandise shows. I've also interviewed numerous slumber and mattress experts about mattress quality, durability, and comfort, and I'm the author of Wirecutter'due south guide to choosing a mattress, as well as guides to the best foam mattresses, the best innerspring mattresses, and the best hybrid mattresses, among many others.
Casper Chemical element (formerly Casper Essential)
Practice nosotros recommend information technology? Probably not.
Who it's for: Casper'due south second-cheapest mattress might entreatment to back- and stomach-sleepers who want to spend effectually $600 for a queen. It'due south best for those weighing under 200 pounds.
How information technology feels: The Element is on the firm side of medium-firm. It offers only the slightest amount of give, and it cushions e'er so slightly, without any trace of memory-foam "stick."
What we like: The ten-inch-thick Element is a firm-ish option with decent-quality components offered at a price lower than that of near other well-known online mattresses, including the Casper Original, the Leesa, and the Helix Midnight. Yet, we don't outright recommend it because we think the Novaform ComfortGrande, a cushier medium-firm mattress, has broader entreatment at a similar price.
We group-tested the previous version of the Chemical element in 2019, and many panelists liked its cushiony feel, but we concluded that y'all could get a nicer mattress for less. The electric current Element, introduced in 2020, is an inch thinner and feels firmer and less cushiony than the 2019 version. When I slept on the new Chemical element for a week, I felt fully supported and woke up without stiffness, fifty-fifty though I typically prefer a softer bed. Of form, your experience may vary, depending on your preferences, weight, and build (I'one thousand 128 pounds and 5 anxiety 7 inches). My firm-bed-loving husband (190 pounds and 5 anxiety 10 inches) agreed that the Element felt firmer than the other Casper beds, but he experienced more give than I did. At the time I checked, out of the 14 recent, skilful-quality Amazon reviews that mentioned the compactness level of the 2020 Element, most described information technology as firm. That's a small sample size, but information technology suggests that if y'all like soft beds, you'll probably want to avoid the Casper Element.
The Element's meridian perforated polyfoam layer has a density of two.five pounds per cubic pes, which makes us think information technology will last for the long term (especially if you lot rotate the mattress every vi months to avert trunk indentations). Underneath is a standard-issue i.8-pounds-per-cubic-human foot base foam. Because the mattress has no memory foam, yous tin shift from side to side without feeling stuck.
The Chemical element provides good movement isolation. I'm a fairly light sleeper, but I didn't wake up even as my husband and son, who winnows his manner into our bed in the center of the night, tossed and turned. Information technology also has solid edge support: I didn't feel as if I were falling off the bed, fifty-fifty every bit the two of them forced me to the side. We didn't feel peculiarly absurd or hot while we slept.
What nosotros don't like: During the week I slept in the Element, I couldn't help just exist reminded of a slightly cushioned ironing board. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. I slept well on my back and stomach; the Chemical element is just more than of a "decent-quality dorm-room mattress" than a "grown-upward sanctuary-sleeping accommodation mattress." Its cover is coarser and lacks the more-decorative stitching found on Casper's higher-priced models. With only two slabs of polyfoam, information technology lacks the nuance found in mattresses with both a change-upward of layers and more of them. And despite the density of the height cream, we don't recommend this mattress for people weighing more than around 200 pounds considering, without a middle transition layer in this mattress, heavier folks might drop to the potent base layer.
Casper Original and Casper Original Hybrid
Do nosotros recommend it? It depends.
Who it'south for: The Casper Original works for dorsum- and tummy-sleepers, every bit well equally for infrequent side-sleepers who want a bed with a medium-firm feel. Its hybrid version may appeal to those needing a subtly softer and slightly more than resilient surface than the all-foam diverseness offers. It should concord up well for people weighing less than 200 pounds.
How information technology feels: The all-foam Casper Original feels like a true medium-house. In our tests, it initially offered a shallow cradle with very picayune memory-foam sink, though it did soften a bit after I slept on information technology for a week. The Casper Original Hybrid version, which adds "at least 600 coils" (in a queen, co-ordinate to the spokesperson), lies somewhere between medium and medium-firm, with a cradling that'due south slightly more than pronounced than on the all-foam option but less fluffy than the Nova Hybrid. The Casper Original Hybrid is too a tad more than resilient, though the all-cream mattress is hardly "pasty" to brainstorm with.
What we like: After sleeping on the 11-inch Casper Original for nearly two weeks, nosotros've concluded that the all-cream mattress may appeal to people who prefer a shallow cradling. Although you do settle in a bit more than as your body warms the bed, the overall outcome is all the same a lie-on-top-of-the-mattress feel as opposed to a snuggle-inside sensation. The structure kept my spine neutral and supported when I slept on my back and on my stomach (people of unlike weights and builds may accept a different feel). Although the bed didn't cuddle my shoulders, they didn't suffer from any pressure-bespeak pain, either. For a bit more cuddle and requite on the shoulders, side-sleepers might prefer the hybrid version.
Neither the all-foam Casper Original nor the Casper Original Hybrid offers an all-out memory-foam embrace; that'south because both versions have a dense non-memory-foam polyfoam layer on top, which mutes the huggy effect of the memory-foam layer beneath. All of this makes both the Original and the Original Hybrid feel more cushiony, as opposed to trunk-conforming.
The three.5-pounds-per-cubic-pes density of the memory-foam layer suggests it may be a chip more durable than the 3-pounds-per-cubic-foot layers more than typical in this $1,000-ish toll range. For the back up layer, the Original has i.eight-pounds-per-cubic foot polyfoam, while the Original Hybrid has roughly 600 or more coils (the company wasn't more than specific). Overall, this bed may agree up slightly better than the typical $1,000 mattress if you weigh nether 200 pounds, and perchance even if you weigh more. At 11 inches, both the all-cream and the hybrid Original are just an inch thicker than the two-layer Element, but they feel substantially more like a "real" mattress every bit opposed to a "starter" i. Despite the perforations in the foam, we didn't actually sleep cool with either version, and we actually felt hot on some days with the all-foam Original, though admittedly an overactive heating unit may have had something to do with that.
What we don't like: Despite its "slumber-on-top feel," the all-foam Original did not offer dandy edge support. Although I didn't slide off the edge while lying down, I did experience a pronounced slope when I sabbatum on it. When associate staff writer Justin Redman tested the Original, he felt like he might fall off whenever he approached the edge of the bed during the night. The Original Hybrid was worse for me, and I practically fell when my son plowed his way into the bed and pushed me to the edge. (I caught myself by planting down my foot before clawing my way back onto the surface.)
Neither the Casper Original nor the Original Hybrid is for costly-mattress lovers. Justin, a side-sleeper, found the mattress to be much too firm for him and non particularly comfortable for his back; when he commencement received the mattress, it was so firm that it felt equally if his bones croaky through the night, but the weather condition can explain that (foam beds harden in the cold and loosen up in warmer temperatures). The bed will soften somewhat over time (I constitute that both versions felt more cradling after merely several days), just it won't offer an "aaahhhh" kind of feel.
During our research, we saw that the feedback among Amazon reviewers was mixed in regards to the Original Hybrid's firmness levels. The all-foam Original skewed decidedly firmer (9 out of 15 two- to four-star Amazon reviews described it as firm or as well firm).
Casper Wave and Casper Moving ridge Hybrid
Do we recommend information technology? Probably not.
Who it's for: The Casper Wave Hybrid, Casper'southward nearly expensive mattress, should appeal to people who sleep in any position, and it seems probable to last through the warranty for those weighing less than 200 pounds. Nosotros tried the previous version of the all-foam Wave in 2019; if the updated model (introduced in 2020) is similar, as the visitor says it is, it should also appeal to sleepers of all positions. The Moving ridge is sold merely by partner retailers, including Amazon and Wayfair.
How it feels: The Moving ridge Hybrid feels medium-firm, landing somewhere between the firmer Original and Original Hybrid and the softer Nova Hybrid. I found the Wave Hybrid foamy notwithstanding resilient. We haven't tried the updated version of the all-foam Moving ridge, and helpful online feedback was scant at the fourth dimension we looked, but we expect information technology to feel just a tad firmer than the Moving ridge Hybrid.
What nosotros like: The all-foam Moving ridge packs v layers into 13 inches. Similar the Original, it's topped with a dense non-memory-cream polyurethane foam. But instead of having memory foam straight underneath, it has a layer of SonoCore constructed latex, atop a base layer of polyfoam. The Moving ridge Hybrid is like in build, simply instead of the foam, it has coils.
When I slept on the Wave Hybrid, my spine felt comfortably aligned, whether I lay on my back or stomach. Though the overall feel was far from the Nova'south fluffiness, my shoulders and hips felt fully cradled. Due to the coils and peradventure the synthetic latex, which felt more elastic than memory foam or polyfoam, the mattress near caused me to spring forward as I shifted from side to side. Although I felt the bed bounce when my son jumped on it, I noticed little motility when he or my husband rolled over during the night. The edge support is an comeback over that of the Original Hybrid and roughly similar to that of the all-foam Original: I could sleep on the border without falling off, just information technology's not ideal for sitting.
The Moving ridge offers an unusual sleep sensation, though we'd recommend it only if you're not happy sleeping on anything else and you likewise have a very flexible upkeep (see "What we don't like" below).
What we don't like: Costing effectually $2,600 when not on sale, the Casper Moving ridge Hybrid is expensive, and you tin notice a bed made with more durable materials for a lot less. For instance, the Leesa Hybrid and Tempur-Adapt Medium Hybrid, our picks for the all-time hybrid mattresses, each take most 1,000 coils in a queen; in respond to our inquiry, Casper remained vague, telling us its hybrids had "more 600." The Leesa Hybrid, the Tempur-Accommodate, and the Loom & Foliage (our choice for the best loftier-end foam mattress) also utilise denser memory foam (at to the lowest degree iv pounds per cubic pes, as opposed to 3.5 pounds in the Casper Wave). If it's the latex that draws you to the Casper Wave, you lot can get more latex for less coin in the Zenhaven, our favorite all-latex foam mattress, equally well as (when it's on sale) our innerspring pick, the Charles P. Rogers Estate. These mattresses use Talalay latex, which is typically more breathable and pliable compared with the synthetic latex used in the Moving ridge. Of grade, all of these recommended mattresses feel nix like the Casper Moving ridge Hybrid (and, we expect, the all-foam Moving ridge), so if yous really like the feel of the Wave and can afford it easily, it still may be worth the investment to yous.
The Casper Wave has bells and whistles that make our eyes roll. Casper calls this mattress the best for those with back hurting, thanks to the 4th "zoning" layer, which boasts specialized areas to accommodate shoulder-cushioning and gel pods placed throughout for support. Merely we're skeptical of how meaningful those features actually are—they may be unnecessary or irrelevant, specially if, based on your meridian or sleep position, your body doesn't line upwardly exactly with those zones.
Casper Nova and Casper Nova Hybrid
Practice we recommend it? It depends.
Who it's for: Casper's softest offering is made for side-sleepers and those who like a cuddly-plush mattress without the slow sink of memory cream. It may piece of work for people of most weights, but it might feel more supportive and last longer for those who weigh less than 200 pounds.
How information technology feels: The all-foam Casper Nova and Casper Nova Hybrid are medium-soft, verging on truly soft. Because neither the Nova nor the Nova Hybrid contains memory cream, the mattresses don't hug but rather offering a deep-cradling feel, reminiscent of a thick, costly pillow. I tested, at home, the Nova Hybrid, which has a layer of springs that adds the slightest touch on of buoyancy. Nosotros oasis't nonetheless tested the all-cream Nova, which is sold only at select partner retailers, including Amazon, but not on Casper's site.
What we like: The Casper Nova Hybrid is the softest mattress nosotros've tested in either the foam or hybrid category, and we were pleased to observe how sturdy it felt—like a denser marshmallow-soft rather than a wiggly Jell-O soft. We call back it's several degrees softer and fluffier than the Casper Moving ridge Hybrid. The 12-inch bed offers iv layers (one fewer than the Wave, one more than the Casper). Both models take three layers of dumbo polyfoam (three.5 pounds per cubic foot, a density that should hold up for nearly people, fifty-fifty if they're heavier than 200 pounds); the middle layer is zoned. The all-foam Nova has a final base layer of 1.8-pounds-per-cubic-foot foam, while the Nova Hybrid has a bottom layer of support coils.
Afterwards sleeping on the Nova Hybrid for more than a week, I could run across how side-sleepers would capeesh the plush pressure relief on the shoulders. Merely for back- or stomach-sleepers, or those who but adopt a firmer mattress, the bed is likely to be too plush. (My married man, who prefers a much firmer mattress, fled to my son's room and slept there the entire time I tested the Nova Hybrid.)
Despite the springs, the motion isolation on the Nova Hybrid was quite good—I barely felt my son roll over at dark, and I experienced niggling motion when I asked him to aid my testing by jumping on the bed. We expect the move isolation in the foam-only Nova to exist fifty-fifty better.
What we don't like: Casper wouldn't reveal how many coils were in the Nova Hybrid, but a publicist told us the full was "less than 600." As we explicate in our innerspring mattress guide, scroll count alone doesn't determine the quality of a mattress, only the Nova Hybrid has considerably fewer coils than the 1,000-plus in our picks (the Leesa Hybrid and the Tempur-Adapt Medium Hybrid), yet it costs the same or even more than. And despite this model's sturdy construction, the border back up is rather weak, making it difficult to sit or sleep near the perimeter without sliding off.
The Nova's foams, similar those of the Wave and Original, have "cooling" perforations. We can't say whether the perforations aid or not: Neither my son nor I slept noticeably libation than usual on the Nova Hybrid, but we didn't slumber hot, either. Equally we mentioned with the other Casper mattresses, fancy features like zoning may or may not be meaningful, depending on your weight, size, and shape, as well as how y'all position your body on the bed when you slumber. For case, I'm 5 feet seven inches and 128 pounds (and I carry relatively more than weight around my hips). I thought the zoning layer wasn't enough, and I wanted more support for my spine when I was sleeping on my back and my stomach.
Casper Snug
Who it'southward for: Casper's entry-level mattress is designed for people who want a basic mattress from a reputable brand and don't mind overspending for information technology. (It'south available at select partner retailers, such every bit Target and Walmart, but not on the Casper site.) We haven't tested this mattress yet, just we think information technology's likely best suited for dorsum-sleepers—information technology simply doesn't have enough cushioning for side- or tummy-sleepers.
How information technology feels: The Snug'southward components are the aforementioned as those of the Element, just Casper has slimmed the Snug down by an inch and a half, to merely viii½ inches thick. Accordingly, we expect the Snug to have an even more pronounced commonsensical medium-firm to firm feel.
What we similar: Similar the Element, the Snug has a elevation layer of polyfoam—with a adept density of two.5 pounds per cubic foot—followed by a base of operations-layer foam with a fairly typical density of 1.8 pounds per cubic foot. This straightforward construction should agree up for most people, probably fifty-fifty those who weigh more than 200 pounds. Nosotros wouldn't recommend the Snug for those heavier sleepers, though, because the thin structure ways it's easy to hit the business firm base layer upon contact.
What we don't like: Without trying the mattress, we can't comment on its comfort quotient. However, with a stingy thickness of eight½ inches, the Snug'southward construction resembles the earliest class of the Element, when it was called the Essential. Our customer-review research on that model back in 2018 netted a multitude of complaints on how uncomfortably thin and business firm information technology felt, and a 2021 sweep of Snug reviews found similar negative feedback. Half of the viii expert-quality reviews on Target's site complained about firmness. As one wrote: "It'southward similar sleeping on a bag of cement." Only one of the eight described the Snug as soft. This isn't a big sample past any ways, merely we recommend erring on the rubber side and looking elsewhere if yous like softer mattresses.
Information technology may exist worth saving up to upgrade to the slightly more expensive Element (a trivial over $100 more for a queen) or our moderately priced cream selection, the Novaform ComfortGrande. You lot might also consider the options in our guide to the best cheap mattresses, which are likely to feel more comfy and substantial (though they also come with their own drawbacks).

Delivery, return, and warranty policies
When information technology comes to client service and ease of render, the reviews are generally quite positive for direct purchases from Casper. Mattresses transport for costless via UPS inside one to two business days of the company's receipt of your order. Casper offers a x-year limited warranty and a 100-dark return policy, which is pretty standard among bed-in-a-box companies, including Tuft & Needle, Purple, and Leesa. If you purchase a mattress from partner retailers, these third-political party sellers' policies typically prevail, so make sure to understand the terms before y'all buy.
Oft asked questions
What's almost important to consider when choosing a Casper mattress?
The about important factors to consider when choosing a Casper mattress (or any mattress, actually) are condolement and back up. Although materials and construction can exist a adept indicator of a mattress'southward quality and durability, neither the number of layers in the all-foam Casper Moving ridge nor the "roughly 600 or more" coils in the Casper Original Hybrid will affair as much as how those beds feel to you. As well, specs will probably exist the terminal thing on your heed if yous wake up in the morning time with aches and pains or spend nigh of the night tossing and turning.
Unfortunately, we can't say for certain what any item Casper mattress will feel like to you. Our advice is to consider the features you similar and don't like in your electric current bed to start narrowing down your choices. For instance, if your existing mattress makes you experience as though you lot're lying on your kitchen countertop, y'all'll probable want to steer clear of the Casper Element (and maybe take a closer expect at the Casper Nova Hybrid). And if yous think your soft bed might be making your dorsum pain worse, the medium-firm, all-foam Casper Original may offering the extra back up you lot're looking for. Given Casper'due south many showrooms and partner retailers, you may want to try the beds before you decide on a particular model. (Call first to observe out well-nigh the location'southward safety policy and store hours.)
Whichever Casper mattress you settle on, don't be shy about taking advantage of its 100-night trial period, during which you lot tin return the mattress for a full refund (minus the $150 in-habitation delivery and setup fee, if you selected that instead of costless UPS shipping).
How much is a Casper mattress?
The toll of a Casper mattress depends on the model you buy, where you purchase it, and whether information technology's on sale. You can buy the Casper Element ($600 for a queen), Casper Original ($1,100), Casper Original Hybrid ($one,300), Casper Wave Hybrid ($2,600), or Casper Nova Hybrid ($2,000) on the company's website. Casper's other mattresses are available to buy only from partner retailers. For example, the Casper all-foam Wave ($2,036 for a queen) and the Casper all-cream Nova ($1,526) are available on Amazon, and Target offers the Casper Snug ($500). Note that the return policy is dictated past the seller, non Casper, unless yous buy your mattress on Casper'south website.
If yous'd rather not pay full price, hold out for a auction—co-ordinate to Wirecutter Deals editor Nathan Couch, discounts of upwards to xv% off are common plenty that you won't have to wait long. (More specifically, Nathan says the best prices on Casper mattresses tend to occur during the month of February and at the end of November.)
Where can I try out and buy a Casper mattress?
Casper mattresses are available to effort and buy at more than than five dozen Casper Sleep Shops nationwide. Y'all tin likewise find Casper mattresses at one of the company's many retail partners, the list of which includes EQ3, Macy's, Nebraska Article of furniture Mart, Nordstrom, Rooms to Go, Target, and Walmart, amidst others. (Head to the Casper website to search for the Casper exhibit or retail location nearest yous.)
Note that many retailers, including Casper Slumber Shops, have enacted new safety protocols in response to the pandemic. These protocols may include reduced operating hours, shopper capacity limits, updated return policies, and more. If y'all're planning to try out a Casper mattress in-store, telephone call before you get to make sure you're adhering to any condom guidelines it has in identify.
Yous tin can find advice for what to do if you lot can't store for a mattress in person, including questions to ask yourself when choosing a bed, in our guide to how to choose a mattress.
How long does a Casper mattress last?
Theoretically, you lot tin can expect any new mattress, including a Casper, to last near 10 years—the same length as Casper's limited warranty. (This is pretty standard among bed-in-a-box companies.)
Hither are a few things you can practise to increase the odds that your mattress will last that long—or potentially fifty-fifty longer:
- Rotate the mattress at least every 6 months.
- Employ a mattress protector to keep bedbugs and dust mites at bay.
- Make certain yous have the right bed frame to support the mattress'due south weight and keep it from sagging. (This too allows the mattress to "breathe," thereby preventing mold and mildew from forming underneath.)
- Vary where y'all sleep on the bed.
- Keep information technology clean. (Hither'southward how.)

Wirecutter tracks deals on all of our mattress recommendations year-round, and according to Deals editor Nathan Burrow, Casper mattresses are oft on sale for up to fifteen% off. "Sales are so regular that we wouldn't advise buying at full toll unless you need a mattress right away and take your middle prepare on a Casper," he says. "Similar most mattresses nosotros track, the all-time prices on Caspers tend to occur during the calendar month of February and at the end of November. Other times to watch for sales include Memorial Twenty-four hour period, Amazon Prime Day, and Labor Day."
