Casper Element Memory Foam Mattress Queen

Overview

Casper's Element trims its mattress lineup down to two foam layers in a 10-inch profile, aiming for a medium feel with motion isolation at an entry-level price point backed by a 100-night trial.

Casper positions the Element as its entry point into the brand rather than its flagship model, using two foam layers instead of the multi-layer stack in its pricier lines. The open-cell foam construction is meant to let air move through the mattress instead of trapping heat the way older solid memory foam does, and the medium feel is the only firmness this model offers.

• 10-inch two-layer foam profile
• Breathable open-cell top foam
• 100-night home trial
• CertiPUR-US certified foam

Who it's for

Suits someone replacing an aging mattress on a budget, particularly a couple who wants motion isolation so one partner's movement does not wake the other. Less suited to someone who specifically wants a plush or firm feel, since this model sits in a fixed medium middle ground.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The top layer is an open-cell Flex Foam designed to let air pass through it, which governs how warm or cool the mattress sleeps compared to denser memory foam. Underneath, a base support foam layer resists sinking and sagging over years of use, and it is also what absorbs a partner's movement so it does not transfer across the bed.
