Casper Original Review

Rating: 6.4
Verified
Buy Casper
The Casper Original Mattress is an all-foam bed designed for back sleepers, combination sleepers, and those with back pain. It offers a medium-firm feel (7/10) and features a soft knit polyester blend cover, Airscape foam for cooling, zoned memory foam for spinal alignment, and a high-density poly foam base for durability. It excels in motion isolation, making it ideal for couples, and provides effective pressure relief, especially in the lumbar region. The mattress has decent cooling properties and edge support but may be too soft for strict stomach sleepers and heavier individuals. It comes with a 100-night trial and a 10-year limited warranty.
