We found the mattress was adequately supportive, but if you prefer firmer foam, you may find the Casper to be too soft. An average-sized adult should expect to sink into it a little bit. The mattress is on the softer side but still offers plenty of support. We found the Casper twin mattress to be just as advertised-a soft, cloud-like sleeping experience. We didn’t notice any apparent differences in various areas of the mattress, but we woke up without stiff joints in either our hips or shoulders, so we’d say it works. It also provides firmer support under the hips and softer support under the shoulders-a feature the company dubs Zoned Support.

The Casper mattress is comprised of four layers of breathable and supportive memory foam. We found this was true for all of the testers in our household-adult and toddler alike. As it is a memory foam mattress, the Casper is meant to conform to your body when you lie down. Performance: A comfortable, soft mattress We ended up leaving it in a well-ventilated area overnight so the odor could dissipate before we moved it into our son’s room. The memory foam is advertised as hypoallergenic and environmentally-friendly, but there was still a distinct new-mattress smell for a few hours. We were surprised to see that it took only a few minutes to fully bulk up to its 12-inch thickness. When we first pulled the mattress out of the box, we used a small pair of scissors to remove the plastic sheeting and let the mattress unroll on its own. If you plan to carry it up any stairs, you should have at least two people on hand to move the box it’s packed efficiently, but is still too bulky for one person to handle.

Fortunately, we only had to drag it inside our front door and down a short hallway to our toddler’s bedroom.
