FAQs

Casper Nova Hybrid

Is Casper Nova too soft?

The Casper Nova may be perceived as overly soft by heavier sleepers. This is because the more weight applied to a bed, the softer it feels, and the Casper Nova is already a soft bed. However, if you prefer a softer bed, the Casper Nova should provide comfort.

Is Casper Nova good for back pain?

The Casper Nova is excellent at promoting healthy spinal alignment for lightweight sleepers in all positions and average-weight sleepers who sleep on their sides or backs. The zoned support foam and pocketed coils provide pressure relief and firmness in the necessary areas, helping to alleviate back pain for these sleepers.

Does Casper Nova Hybrid come in a box?

Yes, the Casper Nova Hybrid is a bed-in-a-box model, meaning it will be delivered compressed and rolled in a box.

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.
