Construction & Materials

The grid is Purple’s thing. Better sleep technology is our thing.
We use quality materials to craft a comfier, cooler, more supportive sleep experience.

100% Edge-to-Edge Comfort

The Casper mattress has layers of comfort that cover the full surface of the mattress, extending edge-to-edge and providing a dreamy feel for all sleep positions. Yes, even stomach.

Grid Only Goes So Far

Purple’s The Grid mattress only covers 72% of the surface sleeping area. The rest is made of low-cost, low-grade foam for low-grade sleep.

Our mattresses provide exceptional pressure relief, support, and cooling to over 2,000,000 happy sleepers. With innovative materials and design, Casper mattresses are meticulously human-engineered and designed with recycled polyester and upcycled cotton.

Purple mattresses are made with their Grid™ technology, which is a solid polymer material that provides no obvious variation. Compared to Casper’s Original Mattress, the Purple Mattress is more expensive and lacks zoned support that improves ergonomics.

Both the Casper Original mattress and Purple mattress are built for all types of sleepers, with cooling features to regulate body temperature throughout the night. Use our guide above to determine what features are most valuable to you. Are you looking for a sustainable mattress? A mattress that supports your upper body and spine so you wake up feeling well rested?

It’s safe to say that if you’re looking for a more comfy, sustainable, and affordable mattress, Casper is likely your best bet. But don’t take our word for it! Learn why over 1,000,000 happy sleepers chose Casper.

Did you know?

Changing the sleep game since 2014.

Since we created the very first bed-in-a-box, we’ve been disrupting everything about the sleep industry—except your sleep. Every innovation from our Casper Labs strives to give you the exact balance of support, cooling, and comfort you need.

Purple slept in.

Purple launched their first bed-in-a-box mattress in 2016, two years after we had already given the mattress industry a wake-up call.

Cooling

For truly cooler sleep, you have to go off the grid.
Instead of using one technology, we developed temperature-regulating features like HeatDelete™ Bands, AirScape® Technology and more.

AirScape® and Snow Technology

Perforated foam and our advanced Snow Technology work together to keep you cool through the night.

Their cooling technology is…lukewarm.

Even with the breathability of Purple’s grid, they can’t offer the same cooling technology as our Casper Snow and Wave Hybrid Snow.

Casper: Precision drilled perforations and highly breathable foams of the Casper AirScape™ system are designed to allow for fresh air to cool you all night long.

Purple: Purple's grid is made of non-breathable polymers that can reduce air circulation, which may cause sweating and overheating.

Word on the sheets

Hear from sleepers who switched to Casper and woke up on the right side of the bed ever since.

I recently bought a Purple Hybrid Premier 3 which was returned after 1 week because it caused me so much pain. I then ordered this mattress after a little research and it changed my life... stop thinking about it and just PUT IT IN YOUR CART! It totally changed my life.

Good and firm! I got this after realizing the Purple mattress was too soft for me. This has helped my existing sciatica issue, which was present when I used the Purple.

The temperature regulation is next level. Like sleeping in a room with the fan going and a cool breeze through your windows but in mattress form.*

My partner and I sleep very hot at night! Let me tell you, this mattress makes an extreme difference! Not too firm, just right for us both! 10/10 recommend this mattress if you sleep hot and have a bad back!
