Whatever the season you can rest cool and rest easy. Our softest sleep surface - With an even thicker knitted cover we’ve layered on the lux – without compromising airflow.	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.
Support	Up to 5,000 25mm conical pocket miQro™ springs, made with British Steel, enclosed in a 100% polyester pocket. More springs, more comfort - More British Steel miQro™ springs mean greater airflow and better body weight distribution. Plush, lush, gravity-defying comfort.	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.

FAQs

Simba 5000

How thick is the Simba 5000?

The Simba 5000 Pro Flex mattress boasts a luxurious depth of 14 inches, spread across seven layers, making it Simba's deepest mattress yet.

Do I need to use a mattress protector?

While it's not compulsory to use a mattress protector with the Simba 5000, it's recommended if you want to keep your mattress in pristine condition.

How do I set up my new Simba 5000?

Setting up your new Simba 5000 mattress is straightforward. Simply unbox it, unroll it on your bed base, and carefully cut the plastic to break the vacuum seal. Remove all packaging and let your mattress expand. It's safe to use within 3-6 hours, but it may take up to 72 hours to fully expand.

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.
