Casper Element Mattress Review

Like most all-foam mattresses, the Casper Element excels at isolating motion. The Element’s 2-inch polyfoam comfort layer absorbs a significant amount of motion, and the 1.5-inch memory foam transition layer adds to this effect.

This motion isolation limits the amount of motion transfer that is felt across the surface of the mattress. Sleepers who awaken easily during the night when their partner changes position may enjoy a more restful night’s sleep thanks to the Element’s strong motion isolation.

Foam mattresses tend to cradle the sleeper’s body and redistribute their body weight, which can help relieve aches and pains from areas that put more force on the mattress. The Element has similar pressure-relieving qualities to most all-foam beds.

A polyfoam comfort layer adds some softness and gentle contouring, while a memory foam transition layer gives deeper contouring. This provides cradling without the close hug often associated with memory foam.

The Element is more breathable than many all-foam models on the market, which often retain heat.

The polyfoam comfort layer is a lower density than memory foam, so it is less prone to trapping heat. This mattress is also slightly firmer than some all-foam models, which leads to less sinkage and permits more air circulation around the sleeper’s body.

Most foam mattresses suffer from weak edges, but the Loom & Leaf stands up well to people sleeping near the edge of the bed. This allows couples to spread out right to the edges when sharing the bed, giving each person more space.

The edges will compress more with added pressure, meaning some people may experience feelings of roll-off when sitting on the edge of the bed. The Firm model has a slightly firmer surface that may feel more stable to people over 230 pounds.

The Element’s comfort layer is 2 inches thick, which is thinner than the comfort layers used in many all-foam models. With a thinner comfort layer, there is less foam that must compress before an individual reaches the firmer support core. Because of this, the Element’s edge may feel sturdier than some all-foam models.

This should feel secure enough for most individuals to use the full mattress surface without restriction. However, individuals over 230 pounds are likely to notice more edge sinkage than their lighter-weight counterparts.

The Element may be more conducive to sex than some all-foam models on the market.

While the Element doesn’t have the same springiness as a mattress with coils, it has more bounce than some foam models, and many couples enjoy that extra bounce for sex. The medium firm feel also permits less sinkage, which may make it easier to change position. Conforming from the comfort layer and the transition layer can also help provide traction.

Since the Element is constructed of foam, it is virtually silent, making it more discreet for intimate activities.

Like most mattresses, the Casper Element may emit an odor at first. The Casper Element contains synthetic foams and ships compressed, both of which can increase off-gassing odors.

Off-gassing odors are usually not considered harmful. Most of the smell dissipates within a few hours to a few days if you leave the mattress in a well-ventilated room. We would expect the same from the Casper Element.

The Casper Element is available online through the Casper website and through Amazon. It is also sold at brick-and-mortar locations, including Casper Sleep Shops across the United States and at Casper’s retail partners.

Casper can ship to the United States, Canada, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Free shipping is available in the 48 contiguous United States and most parts of Canada. Casper also ships to Alaska, Hawaii, Northern Canada, and several other international destinations, but shipping fees may apply.

The Casper Element ships via either FedEx or UPS. The mattress ships compressed in plastic and packaged in a box. The purchaser is responsible for moving the mattress to the room of their choice, unpacking it, and setting it up.

Mattresses generally ship within one to two business days once an order is placed, but there may be delays during the holidays or inclement weather. Once an order ships, customers will receive a tracking number.

In-home delivery and setup are available for an extra charge within the contiguous United States and in some parts of Canada. For this $149 fee, Casper’s delivery partner will move the mattress to the room of your choice, unpackage it, remove the packaging, and remove your old mattress.

Customers in parts of New York and Los Angeles may also be eligible for same-day delivery.

The Element comes with a 100-night sleep trial. Eligible mattresses can be returned during this window for a full refund of the original purchase price. To return a mattress, contact Casper’s customer service team. Casper will arrange for mattress removal.

The Element comes with a 10-year limited warranty, which covers certain qualifying defects, like indentations over 1 inch, splitting or cracking of the foam, and issues with the zipper. This warranty applies to the original mattress owner when purchased from an authorized seller. To be eligible, the mattress must be used for its intended purposes, be used with a proper foundation, and be free from misuse. Additional terms and conditions apply.
