THE WATERPROOF MATTRESS PROTECTOR Our waterproof mattress protector keeps your Casper looking and feeling brand new by guarding against dirt, spills, and normal wear and tear. We engineered our mattress protector with the same waterproof material used in premium outdoor gear. Its microscopic pores are small enough to keep spills out but large enough to let air in, so your Casper stays cool, clean, and comfortable for longer. The waterproof layer keeps your Casper clean and dry, while still letting it breathe. Designed to complement the Casper, the protector is quiet and doesn’t affect the feel or comfort of our sleep surface. It perfectly hugs your Casper (and any mattress up to 16” deep) with unique elastic skirting and a 360-degree grip. Fabric made in the USA and finished in Mexico. Knit Top: Polyester and Spandex Skirting: Polyester, Nylon, and Spandex All sizes fit mattresses up to 16” deep. We ship via UPS Ground. Free shipping and free returns in the US and Canada.
Sleep on it, lounge on it, dream on it — if you don’t love your Casper product, we’ll take it back and give you a full refund.Sleepopolis is supported by readers.

This is by far one of the most common questions I receive on my blog, and it’s long over due for a quick question and answer post. First off, it’s important to note the differences between mattress pads and mattress protectors. A mattress pad is a relatively thick piece of quilted material that sits on top of your mattress, but below your sheets. A mattress pad can help to protect your mattress to some degree from general wear and tear, and help reduce allergens, but in general you’d purchase a mattress pad to add comfort to your mattress.
The primary reason I would suggest buying a mattress pad is because you’re unhappy with your current mattress and a mattress pad can be a nice short term solution to add comfort to an older or uncomfortable mattress. If you’re buying a brand new mattress, whether it’s foam, innerspring, or otherwise, there is really no need to purchase a mattress pad. Mattress toppers would be a similar option if you’re seeking a temporary solution to add comfort, but that’s another blog post. A mattress protector also sits directly on the surface of your mattress, but below your sheets. It’s similar to a fitted sheet in the way it covers the mattress. They are generally made from cotton, polyester, or other materials, and are designed to help repel liquid and prevent other sources of damage (dirt, dust, allergens, etc). The most common use for a mattress protector is simply as a liquid resistant protector. In the event you were to spill a drink, have an accident prone child or pet, or have a sexy-times accident, the mattress protector will help to ensure your expensive mattress stays fresh, clean, and unsoiled.
I would highly recommend a mattress protector to anyone who is purchasing a new mattress, or already owns a mattress without a mattress protector. They are an inexpensive way to ensure your mattress stays nice for years. Most mattress protectors are fairly thin. They don’t have to be thick to do their job if they are made well. As such, they have very little impact in terms of the feel and comfort of the mattress they are on. My wife and I have been using a pretty good and inexpensive mattress protector we purchased from Amazon when we bought our mattress. We’ve slept several times with it off to get a sense of the feel and I cannot tell any noteworthy difference in feel, comfort, or sound when the mattress protector is on vs. with it off. In addition to protecting your mattress from damage, liquids, etc. they can also aid in reducing allergens, dust mites, and asthma issues. If you have an older mattress that you’re not terribly happy with I would recommend a mattress pad.
Mattress pads are an inexpensive way to add a little life to older or otherwise uncomfortable mattresses. If it’s a new mattress, there is no need to purchase a mattress pad (assuming you are happy with the mattress). A mattress protector on the other hand is all but required. It’s inexpensive, protects your investment, has no visible impact, and shouldn’t dramatically change the way the mattress feels. In my book it’s a no brainer. Below are my favorite mattress protectors and mattress pads:HOW DO I PROTECT MY MATTRESS? For the most breathable, easy protection, we recommend using the Casper mattress protector. Purchasing the protector will allow your investment to last the longest possible time. Putting a fitted sheet on top of your mattress will keep it clean if you aren’t interested in the protector, but it won’t prevent spills or leaks from seeping into the foam. If you have to wash the cover, we don't recommend machine washing it, as the cover may shrink.
Instead, unzipping and remove the cover and gently dab and spot clean with a mild detergent. The cover can be hand-washed cold and then air-dried, since any heat might cause the cover to shrink. Please make sure that the cleaned area is dry before placing your cover and sheets back over the mattress! Mattress protectors can add even more protection, however keep in mind that the covers may reduce breathability.Casper Mattress Review: Living Up to the Hype? Used & new (5) from $400.00 upvoted by ▲128 people The Casper is one perfect mattress designed for all sleepers. The critically acclaimed sleep surface was launched in 2014, and its popularity has grown Casper into a formidable opponent to America's mattress monopolies. By uniting a top comfort layer of premium latex with a support layer of high-density memory foam, we created a sleep surface that lovingly contours while retaining a healthy bounce and cool temperature. After exploring more than a hundred configurations, we narrowed our selection down to two dozen beta models for qualitative user testing.
We invited people from all walks of life to A/B test our most promising prototypes. To do so, we built mattresses with different constructions on each side so our sleepers could easily compare the differences. The Casper was named one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2015. The Casper ships to your door in a compact box. It’s backed by an industry-leading 10-year limited warranty. The direct-to-consumer business model cuts costs to offer a premium mattress for a third of the price. It's got just the right sink, just the right bounce, and it keeps you cool all night. Describe your product in 3 words. How did you come up with the idea for this product? We started with people. Our design process was human-centered and approached without marketing prejudice. We tested thousands of materials and constructed two-sided ‘beta beds’ that we sent to designated product testers. After collecting months of feedback and data, we slowly converged on a design that became The Casper. What makes your product special?
We hybridized two proprietary materials that are rarely found together: a soft latex and a firm memory foam. Engineered together, they create a sleep surface that gives you unparalleled support without a reduction in bounce or cooling air circulation. What has been the best part of your startup experience? Testing every material we could get our hands on was exhausting, but necessary. We worked with incredible people across America to design, engineer, and manufacture the different parts of the Casper to meet our exacting standards for better sleep.
