FAQs

No FAQs yet.

Casper Original

Can I sleep on my Casper right away?

Casper mattresses are designed to be slept on immediately after they have fully expanded. Unlike some mattresses that may soften over time, it's typically your body that adjusts to the mattress.

Has Casper original changed?

The new version of the Casper Original is a medium firmness mattress. The previous version was slightly firmer and had two comfort layers, a zoned transition layer, and a bottom support layer. The new version has removed the second comfort layer and replaced the zoned transition foam with zoned memory foam.

How many years does a Casper mattress last?

While the lifespan of a mattress can typically range from 7 to 10 years, Casper asserts that their foam mattresses can endure up to 12 years. This duration extends well beyond the 100-day return policy, ensuring that you receive a good return on your investment.
