Cover	–	Our stretch knit polyester and elastane cover is designed to complement the "tiny mattresses" ability to adjust to personal weight and size. More specifically, we've integrated a quilted, internal (FR) mattress pad that offers a more plush level of comfort. This zip-off removable and washable cover allows access to independently sealed cushions and unmatched cleanliness (vacuum in-between each air channel so you can eliminate dust, bacteria, and allergens).

Comfort	Casper mattresses are specifically designed to sleep cool. We put a lot of R&D into how Casper mattresses perform throughout the night - like running thermal imaging tests and sweat tests. Our mattresses use a breathable comfort foam to offset the memory foam layered beneath it. This construction helps keep things nice and breezy and outrageously comfortable. Plus every mattress saves up to 57 recycled bottles from the environment. A top layer of proprietary perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat, the tiny holes move hot air and body heat away. This innovative cooling system is designed to help keep you cool all night.	The cover's miniature cushion pads provide an added level of comfort and the engineered air channels promote airflow, to maximize the "tiny mattress" technology. Cooling Air Channels. Our individually sealed cushions create air channels with cool and steady airflow management. Contrary to hot and sweaty sheet foam mattresses, you'll sleep undisturbed and awake refreshed the next day.
Support	The durable base is engineered to prevent sinking and sagging while supporting your whole body. Premium AirScape™ foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure. Memory foam with 3 areas of Zoned Support™ help align your spine and relieve pressure. Softer under shoulders and firmer around the hips, waist and lower back.	700 "Tiny Mattresses" For Absolute Spine Support. Our independent suspension evenly distributes body weight to alleviate stress on the natural curves of the spine. In addition to relieving back pain, this provides absolute comfort for your preferred sleeping position. Individual Vertebrae Support. The individual suspension system supports each bone (33) in the human spinal column separately. It cradles the body's curves while providing enough firmness for the back's muscular and bony structures. Plus it's Chiropractor Endorsed!

FAQs

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.

SleepOvation

Can you flip the SleepOvation mattress?

The SleepOvation mattress is not designed to be flipped. It's constructed with coils for support and small squares of memory foam for comfort, and flipping it would disrupt this design.

How much is a SleepOvation mattress?

The SleepOvation mattress, which features the company's proprietary cushion pocket system, is priced a bit higher than other mattresses on the market. Customers can expect to pay around $1,600 for a Twin and $2,200 for a California King.

Who is the owner of SleepOvation?

SleepOvation is owned by Richard Codos, who is the company's Founder & CEO and the inventor of the "tiny mattress" independent support system.
