Casper Original Mattress Review (2021)

➤ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
The Original Mattress is the flagship mattress from bed-in-a-box company Casper. It places sixth overall in our rating of the Best Mattresses of 2021, and it also places in several other ratings, including No. 2 Best Mattress in a Box and No. 2 Best Budget Foam Mattress. A queen-size Original mattress costs $1,095.

The Casper Original is a good pick if you’re looking for an inexpensive all-foam mattress. All-foam mattresses are particularly good at absorbing movement and reducing motion transfer, making them appealing for couples. However, they tend to trap heat, so they’re not well-suited for people who sleep hot.

I thought Casper didn't use Fiberglass in their mattresses. That's what you assume when you Google it. But I decided to call them and they told me that THEY DO USE FIBERGLASS!! They try to reassure you, but I invite you to look up what can happen if the fire sock containing fiberglass gets exposed. The tag on my Casper mattress doesn't even mention it, their website is so (purposefully) misleading, and the first Google link you get when you research it lies to you (and gets commissions through affiliated links, of course). And obviously Casper doesn't tell all these websites on the first page of Google that they are wrong and that they use fiberglass). STAY AWAY FROM CASPER, AND IF YOU DID BUY A MATTRESS FROM THEM AFTER BELIEVING IT WAS FIBERGLASS FREE, CALL THEM TO GET REFUNDED!
