Casper Mattress UK

Compared to other mattress brands, Casper mattresses have a super simple construction. Their goal was to solve the problems of traditional memory foam: too much sinkage and overheating. The results are three top-of-the-line foam mattresses.

The Casper

The Casper is a 4-layer foam mattress that touts pressure-relief, breathability, comfort, and alignment. It’s manufactured in the UK with UK and EU-sourced materials and is Crib-5 (BS 5852)  certified flame retardant. Here is a breakdown of the four layers:

• 4 cm of open-cell foam that promotes air circulation so you sleep cool.
• 4 cm of responsive memory foam that contours to the body without sinking in.
• 4cm adaptive transition foam for comfort and even weight distribution.
• 12 cm of durable support foam with 5-zone targeted support to prevent aches and pains.

The Essential

The Essential is a 2-layer foam mattress, slightly firmer than the Casper. It’s designed for everyone to be supportive but with a touch of bounce. It’s BS 7177 certified flame retardant and CertiPur certified to be free allergen free. Here’s a closer look at the Essential mattress’s two layers:

• 6 cm of open cell-foam for a soft cool sleep and mild bounce.
• 12 cm of durable support foam with ergonomic contour cuts that support hips while letting shoulders sink in.

The Hybrid

The Hybrid is a 5-layer foam and coil mattress. It offers more support than the signature and the Essential mattress, plus optimum pressure relief. It’s BS 7177 certified flame retardant and CertiPur certified to be free allergen-free. Here’s a closer look at the Hybrid mattress’s five layers:

• 4 cm breathable open-cell foam to keep you cool throughout the night.
• 4 cm responsive memory foam for a cradling body contour.
• 4 cm adaptive transition foam for added comfort.
• 10 cm strong, but gentle coils for lift, and focused relief, as well as a light bounce.
• 2cm all-around durable support foam encasement for edge support.

Casper mattresses come with the benefit of a removable, washable cover complete with handles for easy mattress rotation. This upholstery-grade knit cover is easy to clean and can withstand years of washing. The Casper and the Hybrid covers are 99% polyester and 1% elastane and can be machine washed at 40°. The Essential cover is 98% polyester and 2% elastane and can be machine washed at 60°.

Casper prioritises support, which is all of their mattresses are medium-firm to firm. The Casper is ideal for back, side, and combination sleepers, as the 5-zone support layer provides targeted pressure relief. Stomach sleepers, who need more support, will probably appreciate the Essential more, as it provides a more solid sleep foundation for optimal neck support. The Hybrid will appeal to all sleepers, as it features strong edge support for stomach sleepers and ergonomic pressure relief for everyone else.

Overall, Casper mattresses feature low sinkage in non-targeted areas. Back sleepers, however, will find that the Casper comfortable cradles shoulders and lifts hips to maintain alignment. Likewise for side sleepers. Each Casper mattress is also designed to eliminate motion transfer so you aren’t bothered by your partner’s sleep habits.

Purchasing a Casper mattress is a simple process. Once you’ve selected your mattress and mattress size online and have placed your order, it should arrive in a matter of days. Standard shipping is free, though customers can also designate a delivery date and time along with white glove set up (“two man delivery”) for a £20 fee. You can also choose to have the team remove and recycle your old mattress for a fee of £25. Saturday delivery is also available for £17.50.

MattressOnline does have a store location where you can go and try out hundreds of mattresses. However, it is easier to take advantage of the 60 night trial by allowing yourself to sleep on a Casper mattress at home before you decide if it’s for you.
