The Arrival

Casper Element Pro can be purchased online from the company’s website, and at select retail locations in Canada and the U.S; shipping is free for most addresses. There is a shipping fee for customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

The mattress ships within 1–2 days and arrives in under 9 business days. The mattress shipping box arrives at your doorstep and requires two people to lift it.

The Unboxing

Like other bed-in-a-box mattresses, Casper Element Pro is simple to unpack. Once unboxed, the mattress fully expands to 10 inches in height within a few minutes.

The Look

Casper Element Pro features a two-tone grey colour scheme like the previous mattress model. The mattress cover is a simple knit design with flecks of darker grey. The only significant difference in appearance is the Casper Element Pro name that’s printed on the mattress sidewall.

The Feel

Casper Element Pro is much firmer than the previous version (see the next section for testing conducted by third-party engineers). The mattress’s top layer is still made from perforated foam, which helps increase airflow and reduce heat while you sleep. But it now has a middle transition layer made from memory foam. The base layer remains high-density polyurethane foam.

Sleepers who like to feel some ‘hug’ as they sink into the top layer of the mattress or side sleepers may find Casper Element Pro too firm, or experience pressure points. This mattress has a stiffer, firmer feel that’s similar to foam mattresses like Bloom River and Sealy Cocoon.

The following results were determined by licensed 3rd-party engineers, commissioned by us:

Casper Element Pro is available only in one firmness option, which is a similar approach to other bed-in-box brands like Endy, Bloom, and Juno.

NOTE: At the time this review was published, the Casper website states that Element Pro is a medium-firm mattress. According to testing by licensed, third-party engineers, it falls into the firm category.

Casper Element Mattress Layers

Casper Element Pro is made with three layers of foam. Like other all-foam mattresses, the layers of the Casper Element Pro work together to provide a good balance of comfort and support. 

• First layer: 2 inches of AirScape™ perforated polyurethane foam. The top layer of foam conforms to your body and provides pressure-point relief when you lie down. Casper claims that this foam increases airflow and reduces heat while you sleep. Layer density: Unspecified.

• Second layer: 2 inches of memory foam. This middle layer of foam helps provide extra cushioning and support for the body. This layer also serves as a comfortable transition from the comfort layer to the support layer below. Layer density: Unspecified.

• Second layer: 6 inches of support foam. This bottom support layer gives the mattress a strong base and prevents sleepers from sinking in too deep. Layer density: Unspecified. 

NOTE: Foam density or origin information for Casper Element Pro is not publicly available.

Casper Element Pro Mattress Cover

Casper Element Pro’s knit mattress cover is made from polyester, cotton, rayon, and spandex. The Casper website claims it uses recycled polyester and “upcycled” cotton, rayon, and spandex, but no further details are given.

Casper Element Pro does not have a removable and machine-washable cover. That means the cover must be spot-cleaned if you get a spill or stain on your mattress. Customers who value the ability to easily clean their mattress should consider buying a mattress with a removable and machine-washable cover.

Casper was one of the earliest bed-in-a-box brands to garner attention in North America. Thanks to a sizable marketing budget and past celebrity ownership and investment, the Casper mattress is often the first online mattress that people recognize. Since launching in 2014, however, dozens of competitors have joined the bed-in-a-box mattress industry with more specialized options, a lower price point, or a combination of the two.

Casper reported significant losses on revenue in 2020. In 2021, Casper Sleep Inc. announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Durational Capital Management. Two years later, in 2023, Sleep Country Canada announced that it had completed the acquisition of all the Canadian assets of Casper Sleep Inc.

Casper delivers to most parts of Canada and the U.S. In most cases, the delivery will be left outside the customer’s home without them needing to sign for it. Shipping is free for most Americans and Canadians; however, customers in Alaska, Hawaii, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut will have to pay a shipping fee. Casper customers can expect their new mattress within 3 to 9 business days.

Like many bed-in-a-box companies, Casper heavily promotes its mattress sleep trial. At 100 nights, this sleep trial is average in length compared to other online brands. The company also offers free mattress pick-up and a full refund when returned.

It is worth noting that Mattress-Reviews.com did not complete the return process, but received this information via the FAQ section on Casper’s website.

The Casper Element Pro is an improvement over the previous model in a few ways. It earned better test results for edge support and motion isolation. And it now includes a layer of memory foam for added contouring and pressure relief. It’s nice to see that this ‘Pro’ model has notable upgrades.

However, compared to competitors in the value-mattress segment, Casper Element Pro is average regarding foam construction, trial period, and warranty period. When writing this review, this mattress also had only a handful of customer reviews published on the site.

Casper Element Pro is priced relatively high price for an entry-level mattress: $1,195 CAD for a queen. That price is more consistent with the mid-range mattress category from many other bed-in-box brands, but without many of the same features or benefits (like a longer sleep trial and warranty).

If you’re looking to get the most value and comfort in a foam mattress, several options offer similar (or better) features at a much lower price. To browse brands and read more reviews for mattresses within your budget, check out this year’s Best Mattresses.
