Composition

Casper mattresses are made with CertiPur-US certified foams and wrapped in unzippable, easy-to-wash mattress covers.

Casper’s most streamlined model is the Essential, which features three layers:

• Gentle Spring Layer (Hybrid Only) – acts as a supportive and long-lasting base
• Enhanced Edge Support (Hybrid Only) – to make getting in and out of bed easier

Casper’s high-end mattress, The Wave, consists of four to six layers:

• Velvet-Soft Top Layer – gives it a royally comfortable feel
• Perforated Foam Layer – maximizes airflow and releases heat
• Pressure-Relieving Foam – releases pressure from high-tension areas
• Targeted Gel Pods – invigorate the body and improve spinal alignment
• Gentle Spring Layer (Hybrid Only)
• Enhanced Edge Support (Hybrid Only)

Feel & Firmness

All three mattresses are medium to medium-firm and good for back, stomach, and side sleepers. Still, side sleepers might get more benefit from the Casper of the Wave.
