Firmness info	Award-winning comfort, signature "just right" feel.	Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

Comfort	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.	1. More Graphite 30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body. 2. Higher Quality Gel Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products. 3. Open Cell Technology Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability. 1. Comfy Top Layer We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving. 2. Cozy Cover A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness. 3. Pressure Relief Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.
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.	The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out. 1. Progressive Support Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you. 2. More Gel Beads 30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support. 3. More Edge Support Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

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.

Tuft & Needle Mint

How soft is Tuft and Needle Mint?

The Tuft and Needle Mint mattress is slightly softer than the original, with a firmness level of medium to medium-soft, or a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).

Does Tuft and Needle Mint sleep hot?

The Tuft & Needle Mint is not cool to the touch, but it is very cooling for a foam mattress. It uses graphite and cooling gel beads to promote breathability, making it suitable for hot sleepers who prefer a gentle all-foam feel.

Is Tuft and Needle Mint good for stomach sleepers?

The Tuft & Needle Mint provides enough support to prevent most stomach sleepers' hips from sinking in excessively and causing strain on their spines. However, some stomach sleepers, especially those who weigh more or carry most of their weight near their midsections, may experience more significant sinkage.
