Casper mattress

LilacTree — Fri, 25 May 2018 00:47:58 GMT

Would you buy a Casper mattress (bed in a box)? Consumer Reports rates it very highly in the category of boxed beds. It's particularly good (highest rating) for petite sized back sleepers, which would be me.

The bed I am using is very old (20 years plus) and I'm afraid full of dust mites because I get bitten all the time. It's a full size, and I did buy a twin size topper for it a few years ago (because I only sleep on one side). I've never seen a dust mite and it could be a spider bite, but I've never seen a spider either.

The one I am looking at is $850, not counting the foundation and metal bed frame, which would add $375 to the cost, for a total of $1,225. They deliver and set up and will come and take it away if you need to return it.

Just thinking about it. Have looked at it online and Consumer Reports.

I've just recently heard of them so don't have an informed opinion. Are they going to take your old mattress away for you? They can be a real hassle to get rid of.

I love my Casper. Bought it almost 2 years ago. No more back and neck pain when I wake up. I have their pillows too. Got them from Target. Best pillows ever.

No one in the family wants this one. It was not my bed to begin with. I'll try to find a way to donate it. I'll probably get the pillows too. I'm glad you're happy with it.

I live in a large apartment complex. Maybe they'll let me put a sign up on the management office's bulletin board. I would be giving it away.

I don't have one myself but my best friend does and loves it. She used to have an expensive Tempurpedic and likes the Casper much better.

I work with someone who bought a Casper bed and he and his wife like it. I have a memory foam Serta IComfort bed for 3 years now and I will never go back to a spring foundation and regular mattress. I am sure you will need help setting up the Casper when it comes. That would be a concern of mine since I am single.

I don't have a Casper but I do have a Tuft n Needle which is also a bed in a box type. I love my bed. So, ddon't be concerned about the bed in a box type. I did, however, get a Zinus metal bed frame from Amazon for about a hundred. I believe most of the beds in a box have the 100 day sleep guarantee. Mine was super easy to set up, I did not need any help at all.

Might want to look at the Amazon reviews for the Casper mattress. Interesting.

I wouldn't believe a word of it . . . good or bad. I don't trust that organization/company/whatever, and would never purchase anything from them.

I would let them set it up. I know I would have to pay for that, but it's not that much . . . around $75.

@LilacTree. I'd buy a Casper in a heart beat. I already have a memory foam mattress I got about 8 years ago online. It is a different feel which takes a little adjustment. It can be hard to turn over in bed, and I know you have some limitations. The heavier parts of the body sort of sink in, and it's a bit of a struggle to get out.

I don't think they set it up. It comes in a box and it's up to you to wrestle it out of the box and onto the bed. Mine, a full size, was very heavy. You can use your present box springs. No need to buy theirs.

I'd go to a mattress store and try memory foam before buying. They are great for arthritic joints.

@LilacTree

There is an organization in our city that drives to one’s place and picks up used mattresses free of charge.

This group is church-based.

@LilacTree If you're getting bitten by dust mites, why in the world would you donate that mattress and pass your troubles on to someone else?

As for the Casper, I'm sure they are excellent, but you can find other excellent mattress options that are more budget friendly.

@JeanLouiseFinch

I did think of that. I would have to make sure it does not have dust mites. It is 20+ years old and probably should just be junked. I'll have to find out what the township requires.

@LilacTree..I just read your post..I do not think dust mites bite...have you checked for bedbugs or chiggers?

just a FYI..I have heard great things about the Casper bed.

I thought the Q was going to offer the Casper mattress.

@LilacTree: If you can't get rid of it any other way, place an ad on Facebook area bulletin board, or Pennysaver etc, to pay someone to dispose of it.

@sydsgma1

Ick!! You're right. I meant bed bugs, although as I said, I've never seen one. But I do get these itchy bites and it's coming from somewhere or something!

I'm still thinking about the bed. Read a lot of reviews on Amazon and the only thing that bothers me is those who say it smells and it never goes away. I couldn't handle that.

Of course I would never buy the bed from Amazon. I do not like nor ever did purchase anything significant from them. I do buy a book and occasionally CDs from them . . . they don't mess them up or blame anything on third party suppliers. I haven't even done that in a while.

Are you getting the new Casper Wave? I'm not sure if thats been out long enough to get enough reviews.
