FAQs

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.

Emma

Is the Emma Sleep mattress a good investment?

The Emma Sleep mattress is an excellent choice, particularly for those who sleep on their backs. Despite being an all-foam mattress, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and support that back sleepers require. It also provides adequate support for stomach sleepers, which is quite an achievement for an all-foam mattress.

What makes the Emma Mattress unique?

The Emma Original is made with Visco Memory foam, which perfectly conforms to your body shape, providing relief to sensitive pressure points and ensuring spinal alignment. The mattress also has a high-resilience extra foam layer at the bottom that offers additional back support as you sleep.

Why does the Emma mattress feel warm?

The warmth you experience with the Emma mattress is due to its construction from synthetic foam, including memory foam. These materials are known for their heat retention properties. Vasco elastic foams like memory foam respond to, retain, and build up heat to function effectively.
