Our Take on Casper Element

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
- Want a mattress with a medium amount of softness
- Are mainly a back sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for stomach sleepers)
- Are very easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (motion isolation is exceptional)
- Would like a mattress with excellent adjustable base compatibility
- Enjoy sleeping just a bit more 'in' your mattress than 'on' it
- Prefer a below average amount of 'memory feel'
- Prefer products that have been more extensively tested by GoodBed
- Are a side sleeper, though lighter side sleepers will fare a bit better than heavier
- Sleep close to the edge of your bed sometimes
- Have a natural tendency to sleep hot
- Are seeking the absolute highest quality and longevity (though materials and construction are still pretty good)
- Like a fair bit of bounce in your mattress
- Want a natural or organic mattress

Yes, the Casper Element mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the Element to have excellent adjustable base compatibility.

General Description
Note: The Casper Element mattress was previously known as the Casper Essential. Its name was changed in Spring 2020.
"Value, engineered."
We challenged ourselves to create a Casper-quality mattress at a more affordable price. The Essential brings award-winning engineering into a streamlined design. So you can snore for less on the most comfortable mattress at this price point.
- Constructed for Comfort: The Essential’s top two layers borrow elements from our signature mattress to blend support, breathability, and bounce
- Sleeps Cool: Like all Casper mattresses, the Essential features breathable open-cell foam for all-night coolness. Pulls heat away from the body and disperses hot air back into the atmosphere.
- Durable Design: With a durable knit cover and high-quality foams, the Essential is built to last you night after night, move after move.
Each Casper Essential mattress contains:
- 1.5" Top Foam: Open-cell foam keeps you cool and adds just the right bounce.
- 1" Memory Foam: Responsive, high-density memory foam provides pressure relief.
- 6" Support Foam: Durable support foam strengthens the comfort layers and adds long-lasting durability.
- Woven Cover: Made from premium textiles, the woven cover is breathable, flexible, resilient, and removable.
Our foams are Certi-Pur certified, and the fire sock and top of our cover is OEKO-TEX® certified. Your new Casper Essential mattress is covered by a 10 year limited warranty.
