Buying a mattress online – Casper Mattress Review (Updated August 2018)

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to purchase a mattress online, and set it up in less than 15 minutes? I’ve been a huge fan of Casper mattresses for the longest time (no joke!!). Any innovative brands that try to disrupt their respective industries are my favorite, Capser is no different! I was SOO excited when Casper reached out and asked me to try out their mattress; so excited that I immediately texted my hubs, “CASPER WANTS TO COLLAB!!!”

Just like all other blog posts I’ve read, Casper mattresses are so easy to set up. They come in an elongated box. If you ordered their sheets and pillows, each of them come in separate boxes. The mattress in this post is “The Casper”. Alright, read along to find out my review on The Casper mattress:

Set up:

As I mentioned, it takes no more than 15 minutes to set up the mattress. Simply take out the rolled up mattress from the box – the air will flow in and inflate the mattress as soon as you tear apart the plastic cover. The Casper mattress is very light to move around. Compared to my old mattress, Casper is like feather!

How it feels:

This is a memory foam mattress (that’s why it can be rolled up). The mattress is on the softer side, rather than firm. If you love firm mattresses, these are not for you. For me, I’ve been sleeping on stone firm mattresses all my life so I welcome a change for my beauty sleeps. I love how soft Casper mattress is, yet providing enough support for my back. I sleep on my side as well as on my back so it is important to have lumbar support, and not feel like I am sinking into the bed. The softness definitely makes it difficult to wake up in the morning!

Pillows and bed sheets:

I also need to take a moment to talk about how awesome Casper bed sheets and pillows are. These two items are exceptionally well done! I am quite picky about pillows as I have had neck issues in the past. Casper makes its pillows with an idea of “a pillow in a pillow” – the inner pillow is supportive, while the outer pillow adds a soft touch of fluff. The firmness keeps the pillow’s shape which makes it comfortable to both lean on (e.g. reading in bed) and sleep in (oh, those Sunday mornings). Bed sheets on the other hand are very well made. The package includes both a flat sheet and a fitted sheet. The fabric of the sheet is definitely light weight and breathable. The fitted sheet has grippy elastic that keeps the sheets in place. I LOVE THIS DETAIL! So thoughtful of Casper.

I’ve had a wonderful time falling asleep on The Casper mattress – something that I’ve looked forward for a long time. If you are interested, buying and returning these babie can’t be more easier:

• 100 nights trial: You get 100 nights to try the mattress and pillows on. If you don’t love them,  Casper will pick it up and give you a full refund.
• Free shipping and free returns: Free shipping is included with every order and returns. Casper does its best to donate used mattresses to local charities.
• Exceptional customer service: they are always here to help!

UPDATE (AUGUST 2018):

It’s been almost 9 months sleeping on The Casper so I thought I’d give you guys an update. Johnny and I do find The Casper on the soft side. If you are looking for firmer mattresses, you can take a look at The Wave. What I really want to let you guys know is how much Johnny and I love the pillows!!! Because I have a very sensitive neck, I need a pillow that can do everything – from firmness, support, breathability to durability. Believe me, I’ve tried a lot of pillows, from $20 to $300. I also realized that expensive pillows aren’t necessarily better. Casper pillow is so far the only pillow that ticks all the boxes. It’s firm yet soft (yes there is such thing), very breathable, holds its shape for side sleepers (i.e. me) and does not sag over time. I am super impressed at how well the pillow holds its shape. I absolutely hate pillows that “de-fluff” overtime and Casper pillows have stayed fluffy all this time! Definitely give their pillows a try if you are looking for new pillows!
