Is the Casper Original good for side sleepers?

Yes. The zoned foam is softer under the shoulders and firmer under the hips, which is the setup side sleepers usually need. Heavier side sleepers may want a softer or hybrid option.

How firm is the Casper Original?

It is medium-firm. Most back and side sleepers find it supportive without feeling hard, but stomach sleepers who want a very firm bed may find it too soft.

Does it need a box spring?

No foundation is included. It works on a slatted frame, platform bed or adjustable base; a box spring is optional.

Is $895 a good price?

It is at the low end of its recent range, which has run roughly $900 to $1,300 for a Queen. That makes it a strong buy if you want this model.

How long does it take to expand?

It ships compressed in a box and usually reaches full shape within 24 to 48 hours. A slight foam smell can linger for a few days.

Can the cover be washed?

The zippered cover is removable but spot clean only. Do not machine wash or dry it.
