The average person needs seven to nine hours sleep each night, yet millions of Americans don’t even come close. One in four U.S. workers suffers from insomnia, costing employers $63 billion in lost productivity annually. But then there are the countless Americans with undiagnosed conditions. Unfortunately, being the parent of a young child isn’t a recognized medical disorder, even though 54% say they don’t get as much sleep as they need. And don’t forget about the spouses, partners, and sleep-deprived better halves of the 37 million snoring Americans. For all these reasons and more, millions of Americans are finally waking up to the fact that they need to invest in a better night’s sleep, and for many, that means discovering the benefits of adjustable bed systems. There are various sizes of adjustable beds available, with a huge variety of extra features like wireless remotes, adjustable bed mattresses with optional heat and massage functions. (Read more about these features on our website.)
Yet, one of the most common questions people have before buying an adjustable bed mattress is whether it will fit on their standard bed frame. Most people own a bed frame, either a simple steel frame or an ornate decorative frame, plus a box spring and mattress combination. However, for adjustable bed mattresses to — well — adjust, they come with their own bed frame. Our adjustable bed mattresses are constructed with quiet motors designed to help them reliably, silently, and smoothly adjust as needed. However, for the motors and mattress to function correctly, they cannot simply be placed on top of an existing bed frame. Even so, that’s because Craftmatic® Adjustable Bed mattresses come with a built in steel frame. This means you no longer have to go shopping for a bed frame like you normally would when buying new bedroom furniture, nor do you need to buy an extra box spring mattress for support. And while some people mistakenly believe that adjustable bed systems are too expensive, the cost of standard mattresses, plus a box spring, plus a bed frame, plus a headboard can be expensive.

You spend an hour in the store, awkwardly flopping on and off beds trying to find the one that meets the Goldilocks standard of “just right.” Then you have to lug the winning mattress across the parking lot, onto your car roof, up stairs, and into your home. I recently transplanted from New York City to San Francisco, and the first major purchase I made — hesitantly — was a new mattress. But I did things a little differently this time. Casper, called “the Warby Parker of mattresses,” sells mattresses on its website and delivers them to your door in a box not much bigger than a nightstand. The Manhattan-based sleep startup raised $13 million in Series A funding last August, and famously generated $1 million in its first 28 days after launch.
My shopping experience began online, and was over and done with in fewer than 10 minutes. Casper sells just one type of mattress, dubbed “The Casper Mattress,” because the company prefers to “put all our energy into building the ideal bed … rather than confuse you with tens (or hundreds) of models that all start to feel the same after a while.” It combines latex foam for cooling and bounce, and memory foam for support. A hand-sewn, custom-designed cover seals the layers. I ordered a full-sized mattress for $750, comforted by the knowledge that I could return my Casper mattress for any reason within 100 days. Plus, it was free to ship! Less than one week later, it arrived! My roommates wheeled the box on a cart into my room. We turned it upright and cut open the box. Inside, a cloth bag held instructions and … … the most adorable little letter opener. I held the box at a 45-degree angle as my boyfriend wiggled the mattress out. It weighed about 60 pounds.
We cut the mattress free from its felt binding using the letter opener. Then came time for the “unfurling.” The 10-inch-thick mattress expanded and flattened as it filled with air. My boyfriend cut through the plastic and the mattress sprung to life. In seconds, it was ready for sleeping. Here it is, all done up. I’ve slept in the bed for a few nights now, and here are my takeaways. The Casper Mattress is surprisingly springy, even for an experienced Tempur-Pedic-sleeper like myself. Its latex-and-memory-foam combination absorbs and contours to my body like a sponge. That said, the sinkage is minimal. Thanks to the surface layer’s high foam density, I don’t feel like I’m climbing out of a manhole everytime I get out of bed. Does it meet the Goldilocks standard of “just right”? How could it, when ever sleeper’s needs are different? I would have preferred a slightly firmer mattress, and I hope a variation is available in the future. Still, the convenience and low costs associated with Casper trump all other mattress-buying experiences.
