The biggest pain about buying a new mattress is … well, just about everything. 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. It was infinitely easier to maneuver this cardboard box around my apartment building than it would have been to burden it on our backs and strap it to the car’s roof on the way home from the store. Plus, by ordering online, I avoided paying for delivery, shipping, and tip. In the on-demand era, laziness is king.

Works on Most Frames We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's T&N Adaptive® Foam. Our custom T&N Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress. Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight – and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you. Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress. Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body. With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.

Tuft & Needle Reviews There's a lot of talk about firmness, but it's important to describe this bed as "very supportive" rather than firm. What I mean is that it supports your weight well (like a firm bed), but the top layer has enough give to pad your pressure points like your hips & shoulders. For me at about 200lbs this has been great for relieving lower back pain, while still being plush enough to satisfy my petite wife who likes pillow-top beds. It was also my first foam mattress.
It feels lighter and more ventilated than a spring mattress. I bought this on a whim, and it was the best blind purchase I've ever made. We loved it from day one, and still love it 3 months later. We love how friendly and timely everyone is at Tuft & Needle! The mattress fit our budget and arrived just when we needed it. On short notice, my boyfriend and I had to move into a new apartment. We had been renting a furnished place previously, so we had no furniture or bed for our new home. We had this crazy idea, that on a limited budget, and in four days, we could somehow have a quality mattress delivered to our new apartment. We believed that, although we had nothing to sit on or cook with, at least we would have something comfy to sleep on our first night. Tuft & Needle really came through for us. We got the mattress the day we moved in and slept peacefully that night and for nights to come. My whole experience with Tuft & Needle was amazing. They kept in constant communication about my order and shipped it quickly.
The people I communicated with were all very friendly and helpful. The mattress arrived to us well packed and with clear instructions on what to do. The mattress was for my son as his first bed. He has been sleeping so much better on this mattress. It's very comfortable and well made. I have already recommended it to several friends and my wife and I will be getting one for our bed soon. I will never get a different type of mattress. I love this bed. I ordered the 10 inch for firmness and got what I wanted and more. I ended up putting a cushion topper on it because it was too firm! I now have a bed that I feel is perfect for me. I sink in to it just a little and had have firm support underneath. That is what I was looking for. A bed that I could dial into my own perfect firmness and I now have it. I sleep like a baby on it. No smell whatsoever from the bed when I unwrapped it. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend their beds.I just got the best sleep of my life on my new guest room mattress from
