Casper Sleep Element, Medium Firm Twin Mattress - Memory Foam + Support - 100-Night Trial - CertiPUR-US Mattress, Grey

Well I am a large guy 250lb, and I'm no stranger to expensive beds. It's kind of a necessity when your a large guy, cheaper beds just don't do it. I came across this bed for under 500$. Normally I'd say that was going to be hopeless, and lots of reviews said not to buy it, it wouldn't work for me. For some reason I had a good feeling about it so despite the reviews I got it. I'm happy to say im not in any way disappointed. Now of course it's not perfect, it has soft edges and I'm sure its got some other flaws but it sleeps great. No discomfort at all. Very good sleep. I highly recommend it, for 500$ its a darn awesome mattress.

It is awesome and have slept on it for 2 months and very comfortable and it is great and convenient that it comes rolled in a vacuum sealed bag

The mattress arrived in a compact box like shown in the photo, well sealed and without any damage. I really liked how practical it is to receive it this way—easy to move and carry. Once opened, it expanded quickly and didn’t have a strong smell, which is a big plus. In terms of comfort, it’s firm but still comfortable, perfect if you don’t like very soft mattresses. I’ve been sleeping on it for a few days now and it provides good back support. The only thing is that it may take a few hours to fully expand, but that’s normal for this type of mattress. Overall, I recommend it for its quality and convenient delivery.

I purchased this product at the beginning of December 2023. It is now the beginning of July 2024. The mattress is sagging in the middle and it is the most uncomfortable product I have ever purchased. This mattress is so hard it does not contour to the body and I have hardly slept since my purchase. ii wanted to give it a considerable amount of time before reviewing. I requested a refund as it is still under warranty. The centre has sunken so much it is not in a useable condition.. I have been denied this refund or replacement. WHY??

Long review incoming, but worth it if you're as deep into mattress research as I was. A few weeks ago, we bought a new mattress (different brand) from Amazon and it was a total flop. It didn't expand to even half its size and it was incredibly uncomfortable. Amazon Customer Service was AMAZING, so though we were frustrated with the fact that the mattress didn't work out, dealing with returning/refunds and all that was a breeze. Fast forward to last week, and my boyfriend and I are researching mattresses like we're becoming experts in the field. I'd looked into the other one we got fairly well, it had over 90% 5-star ratings, but it was awful. We had our old queen mattress stacked on top of our new king frame, and we were staying up until 10 or 11 at night just researching mattresses. I didn't know what reviews to trust because so many brands had a high number of five star reviews, but the same was true for the first mattress we bought and it turned out to be a mistake. We decided we'd try one more time, and then if we ran into similar issues, we'd just deal with that mattress until COVID restricts were lessened/lifted and we felt comfortable going directly to a mattress store and buying something direct. We searched for hours, read articles, read reviews both on and off Amazon, did BBB searches and got word of mouth reviews, and everything led us back to Casper as a potentially trustworthy brand to invest in. So we gave it a shot. Our mattress arrived today, and though we haven't slept on it yet, we're already much happier with what we received. Within minutes of unpacking it, it'd already expanded to about 8/10 inches, and now it's sitting at just shy of the 10, only a few hours after unpacking. I've seen people complaining about the mattress being lopsided, curved corners, not expanding, etc. and we haven't had ANY of those issues. I laid on it for a little bit just to see how it felt and it's heavenly. It springs back and has got give, but it's not too soft. I would say that "medium firm" is a good description for this bed. Not too soft/hard in my opinion. I know people report that it's comfy at first, but gets worse so I'm planning to update my review in a month or two with an update to see if the same happens to us. Now, the smell. This is where you can believe what you read, this bed does come with a pretty bad off gassing smell. I was able to smell it just as my bf brought it up the stairs, and he hadn't even removed it from the bag yet. Once he pulled it off, the smell got noticeably worse and we were able to smell it from my office which is kiddy-corner to our bedroom. We opened the bedroom window in order to help air it out some. I will say this, it isn't a rancid smell, like something you can't be around, it's just not a great smell. It puts me in the mind of the back corner of a warehouse or a dank basement where all the stuff is shoved that no one has touched in MONTHS. It's strong, but it comes and goes, and like I said, it's not like smelling trash or sewage backup or something that would make your stomach turn, it's just unpleasant. I sprayed some smell good stuff in the hallway outside my office and I can barely smell it now. If you have a candle or incense or something, plan to use it if you sit close to this bed. The weird thing is, when I went and actually laid on the bed, I couldn't really smell it a whole lot. It's definitely going away, but it is pretty bad out of the box. I'm prepared to upgrade this review from four to five stars if I find that it A. remains comfortable. B. the smell goes away, and C. expands this last inch to get to its full height. My hope is that I will be diligent enough to update this review in a month or two and then again in six to eight months with how its holding up. I know mattresses are supposed to last much longer, but if we can just get a good year out of it until we can actually go and test some mattresses in person (and maybe spend a little more on a really good one), I'll be happy. I realize that's low standards, but you have to have them sometimes when you're buying blind on the internet. Here's to updating again soon!
