Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.	Stay cool all night with the innovative cooling system. AirScape: A top layer of perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat. Tiny holes move hot air and body heat away. A layer of Airscape perforated breathable foam increases airflow and circulates air so you don't get too hot at night.
Support	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	Premium foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure. Zoned Support provides a layer of memory foam with 3 ergonomic zones to help align your spine and provide more relief. The durable base is engineered to prevent sinking and sagging while supporting your whole body. Get all-night comfort with the innovative support system. Zoned Support: 3 zones of targeted support for proper spinal alignment. Softer foam around the shoulders provides more relief to the upper body. Firmer foam under the hips, waist, and lower back helps align your spine.

FAQs

What materials are used in a Birch mattress?

Birch mattresses are made with natural materials including wool, latex, cotton, and steel. More details can be found on the Birch materials page.

Casper Original

Has Casper original changed?

Yes, the new Casper Original has undergone changes from its previous version. It is now a medium firmness mattress. The older 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.

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.

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.
