Casper pioneered direct-to-consumer mattress retail in 2014. The current Casper Original incorporates zoned support technology that the original lacked. We spent 90 nights on a queen-size Original to see where it stands in 2026.
Construction
The Casper Original uses four-layer foam construction: a 1.5 inch perforated polyfoam comfort layer, a memory foam transition layer, a zoned support layer with 36 ergonomic zones, and a 5 inch high-density base foam for a total height of 10 inches.
Sleep Testing Results
Three testers used the mattress for 90 nights. The back sleeper rated it 9.3 out of 10. The combination sleeper rated it 9.0 out of 10, praising the responsiveness. The side sleeper rated it 8.1 out of 10, noting shoulder pressure during extended side-sleeping periods.
Final Verdict
The Casper Original remains a solid choice for back and combination sleepers. At $1,095 for a queen, it faces stronger competition than when it launched, but for back and combination sleeping specifically, Casper holds its own.
