Casper Select Review

Rating: 6.6
Verified
Buy Casper
The Casper Select mattress is a budget-friendly foam mattress sold exclusively through Costco, designed with a medium-firm feel. It features a 12-inch construction with poly foam, gel memory foam, and a support foam base. The mattress scores well in edge support and response time but has higher motion transfer and limited bounce. It offers decent cooling and pressure relief but may not be ideal for hot sleepers or side sleepers. The mattress has a strong initial smell that takes about seven days to dissipate. It is best suited for budget-conscious shoppers, back and stomach sleepers, and those who prefer a quick response time.
