Casper Original (Queen, foam, 11") review 2026

The bed that started the box category, now with zoned foam that is softer at the shoulders and firmer at the hips

Is the Casper Original Worth It?

Best zoned foam mattress. The Casper Original is a safe, well-engineered foam mattress that most people will like and few will love. Its zoning is genuinely useful; its price is higher than the foam beds that beat it on individual measurements.

Casper Original Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Zoned foam produced good alignment readings for both testers
  • Perforated top layer sleeps cooler than most foam
  • Sold on Amazon, at Costco and in stores
  • Balanced feel — neither slow foam nor bouncy
Cons
  • Not the best at anything we measured
  • Edge support is modest
  • $1,295 list for a foam bed; discounts are smaller than Nectar's

Still the right pick for

Side sleepers who dislike deep-sink memory foam.
