Casper Pillow Review

The Evening Standard named the Casper Mattress one of the best mattresses of 2019: It has a Goldilocks-level of firmness; not too hard, not too soft, which we think makes it a good compromise for bed-sharing couples with different preferences. It would also suit side-sleepers (the most popular sleep position), with a gentle give that allows you to sink in and take the burden off your shoulders and neck. And there’s no danger of waking up in a sweat; Casper uses an open-cell top layer that draws excess heat away from your body via convection and conduction. Clever, eh?

The Independent also included the Casper Mattress as one of its best mattresses of the year: We couldn’t fault this three-layer foam mattress when it comes to breathability, which stops you getting too hot, and you can move around without much effort or disturbing your partner. All this and yet it supports you in all the right places, even if you sleep on your back (which usually makes finding the right mattress extra tricky).

Real Homes highly recommended the Casper Mattress, saying: All the foamy layers, zone support and breathability sound impressive but in reality all you need to know is: what does it feel like? Our verdict is it’s soft enough to enjoy that ‘and relax’ experience when you first climb in, but still supportive. You don't feel your bones creak when you get out in the morning, even if you’re older, or someone who spends far too many hours hunched over a screen.

At last, a good night's sleep. In the mistaken belief that if you have back problems you need a firm mattress, I bought a firm, pocket spring mattress. Having ached every morning for 6 months, I finally concluded that ‘getting used to it’ just wasn't going to happen. So, having seen Casper mattresses advertised, I thought, well, it can't be any worse, so went for it. The best thing I've ever done. From day one I felt I slept really well and I have no aches and pains on getting up. It feels like my body and Casper sort of merge, rather than meeting with the resistance of the firm pocket sprung one. (November 2019)

I researched lots of these bed in a box mattresses before plumping for the Casper Essential and I’m glad I chose this Which? Best Buy. Great value and it is so comfortable! What a difference it has made. I’ve slept on it for a couple of weeks now and it gives excellent support from my head to my toes! My backache has disappeared, I sleep through the night and wake up refreshed and apparently I’m not grumpy anymore! Long may it last! (October 2019)

Our old sprung mattress was over 10 years old, so we decided to replace both the bed frame and mattress. We'd heard about Casper and decided to give it, and memory foam, a go. We're really pleased, it's very comfortable and we are sleeping like babies! (September 2019)

Love this mattress; it’s so comfortable. It is quite a firm mattress but ideal if you suffer from a bad back. We were a little unsure when we unpacked it out of its box, as it didn't look as though it would be comfortable, but a few hours later when it had filled out and it was bedtime it really was perfect. This is definitely a keeper! (August 2019)
