Firmness info	When we designed the Casper Element, we knew we had to deliver lasting comfort at an unbeatable price. It borrows elements from our signature mattress to promise coolness and support in a more cost-efficient design.	It's designed to be universally comfortable with a medium firmness that can fit any sleep preference, body weight, and shape. It's not too firm, not too soft, but just right and a 5.0 on the 10.0 firmness scale. This perfect feel is achieved by our Nolah AirFoam™ that has the bouncy support of Latex and gentle body contouring of Memory Foam.
