Is the Casper cover machine washable?
No, the cover is designed for spot-cleaning only and can’t be removed from the mattress. Even though there’s a zipper on the mattress cover, don’t remove the cover for any reason.

Foam Mattress with Zoned Memory Foam
Casper Original is a memory foam mattress made in the United States. Featuring zoned support, solid motion isolation, and a bit of “hug,” Casper Original sells for $1,499 for a queen size—much more expensive than comparable foam mattresses with better features like Douglas.
Casper may be a recognized brand, but its 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty are only average in the industry. It’s worth exploring other brands that offer additional features for the same price or less.
Note: This review is for the Casper Original mattress, which has been discontinued and replaced with The Casper. All information, including sizing and pricing, is specific to Casper Original.
Our Rankings
Edge support and motion isolation are factored into our overall mattress ratings. These scores are shown in green (scores of 5.0+), yellow (3.0–4.9), or red (2.9 and below). Firmness and bounce are a matter of personal preference and aren’t part of our rating system, so these scores are shown in grey.
Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.
5.0 /10
Determined by measuring a medicine ball’s impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.
7.1 /10
Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.

Product Details
Like most foam mattresses, Casper Original has good motion isolation and minimal bounce. Its standout feature is the zoned support, where the foam is divided into three ergonomic zones to align the spine correctly. Compared to other bed-in-a-box brands, Casper Original is relatively expensive at $1,499 for a queen size.
The latest version of Casper Original has one fewer layer and feels softer than Casper’s previous version. Some customers have reported back pain due to inadequate support. Another significant hygiene concern is the mattress top cover, which is not machine washable and can only be spot-cleaned.
Note: Casper Original is no longer in production. While you can’t buy the Casper Original mattress in Canada through their website, you may find it at Casper Sleep Stores and other retailers.

Casper Mattress Construction
| Height | Layers | CertiPUR-US® Certified | Machine-Washable Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
10″ | 3 | Yes | No |
The Casper Original mattress contains 3 layers of foam.
Note: While the now-discontinued Casper Original provided zoned support, its replacement (The Casper) doesn’t. As a result, the newer mattress may provide less support in the middle.
Casper Original’s polyester cover is made from recycled plastic bottles, cotton, rayon, and spandex. The cover can’t be removed despite having a zipper, so it’s essential to exercise caution and spot-clean the mattress carefully.

Mattress Performance Results
MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 30 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.

Company Background
Casper first emerged in 2014 as an early North American bed-in-a-box brand. The company expanded its product lineup over the years with substantial funding from organizations like the Target Corporation and celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher. Today, the company offers mattresses, bedding accessories, and home decor.
Based in New York City, Casper went public in 2020 but was taken private again in 2022 after a stock collapse. Casper also shut down European operations in 2022 and now exclusively operates within the US and Canada. In 2023, Sleep Country acquired the rights to Casper’s Canadian operations.
While the company holds an “Average” rating on Trustpilot and an “A+” rating on Better Business Bureau, Casper only has 1.07/5 stars for customer reviews on BBB at the time this review was written. Several negative Casper mattress reviews mention warranty issues, poor customer service, delivery problems, and other concerns.
It’s also worth noting that the company website only displays a handful of five-star Casper mattress reviews. Without getting the full picture of all customer experiences, it’s difficult to say for certain whether you would enjoy sleeping on a Casper mattress.
Should You Buy Casper Original?
While zoned memory foam is a competitive feature, Casper’s 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty are lackluster compared to top competitors.
Consider Douglas for an all-Canadian foam mattress with superior motion isolation, edge support, cooling features, and 365-night risk-free sleep trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy the Casper Original in Canada?
Casper Original is no longer available on the Casper website, but you may find this mattress at a Casper Sleep Shop location in Canada. Casper Original may also be available via major e-retailers who still have it in stock, as well as some mattress, furniture, and department stores.
Are there different versions of the Casper Original?
Yes. While all versions are similar, recent Casper Original mattresses have a slightly shorter height, fewer layers, and softer feel than earlier versions. Note that if you purchased an older Casper Original, a newer model may not fit your bed frame the same way.
Where is the Casper Original mattress made?
Casper Original was made in the United States, but is now discontinued and is no longer being manufactured.
How much does the Casper mattress cost?
The Casper Original mattress price is $999–$1,999, depending on which mattress size you choose. The Casper Original queen mattress is available for $1,499.
What Casper mattress alternatives should I consider?
Casper Original has been discontinued and replaced by The Casper, a similar mattress with minor differences. This updated model is one inch shorter (10″ in height) compared to the Original, is half an inch shorter in length and width, and no longer includes three-zone support in the middle layer.
A Douglas mattress is a good Casper alternative. This medium-firm memory foam mattress is ideal for all sleep styles. Douglas earned top scores for its use of high-quality, eco-conscious materials, overall comfort, and excellent value at just $799 for a queen size, compared to the much higher Casper mattress price of $1,499.
