FAQs

Helix Midnight

How soft is Helix Midnight?

The Helix Midnight has a firmness rating between 4 and 7 out of 10. The feel of the mattress may vary depending on the body type of the sleeper – it may feel medium-soft to heavier sleepers and medium-firm to lighter-weight sleepers.

Is the Helix Midnight suitable for heavy people?

The Helix Midnight offers good pressure relief and helps maintain a healthy spinal alignment, making it suitable for heavy people. However, it may not be supportive enough for heavy stomach sleepers.

Is the Helix Midnight suitable for hot sleepers?

Yes, the Helix Midnight is a good choice for hot sleepers as its coil layer promotes airflow throughout the bed, helping to keep the sleeper cool.

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.
