  • Our take on the Casper Essential

    The Casper Essential is a single standard-size pillow, 18 by 26 inches, with a 100% cotton cover and a polyester fiber fill. At about 2 inches thick it is a low-profile pillow, so it suits back sleepers and anyone who prefers a flatter surface under the head. It is Casper's entry-level pillow, plainer than the brand's foam and hybrid pillows, which offer more loft and shaping. Owners describe it as soft and light, and some say the fill settles and needs fluffing to keep its shape.

    What reviewers say

    Owners generally find the Casper Essential soft and comfortable, especially back and stomach sleepers who dislike thick pillows. The most common complaint is that the fiber fill flattens and loses loft after a few months of use.

    What people mention
    • LoftMixedSleepers like the low profile, but side sleepers say it does not fill the gap between neck and mattress.
    • FillingCriticisedThe polyester fiber compresses and bunches, so the pillow loses shape after a few months.
    • CoverMixedThe cotton cover is breathable and soft, but it is sewn in and cannot be removed for washing.
    • SupportMixedBack and stomach sleepers find it comfortable, while side sleepers want more support.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Casper Essential good for side sleepers?
    Usually not. At about 2 inches thick it is too flat to fill the gap between shoulder and neck, so most side sleepers need a loftier pillow.
    Can I wash the Casper Essential pillow?
    The cover is not removable. Spot clean it, and check the care label before machine washing the whole pillow, since fiber fill can clump.
    How does it compare with Casper's foam pillows?
    It is the lowest and simplest pillow in the line. Casper's foam pillows offer more loft and shaping, while this one is a basic fiber-filled pillow for people who want a flat surface.
    What size pillowcase fits it?
    It is a standard 18 by 26 inch pillow, so a standard pillowcase fits.
    Does the fill stay firm?
    No. The polyester fiber settles with use. Fluffing it regularly helps, but expect it to flatten over time.
    Is it sold as a single pillow?
    Yes, one pillow per pack.
    Where is the Casper Essential cheapest?
    At The Home Depot, for $45.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Casper Essential?
    2 stores we checked sell it, including The Home Depot, Target.
