The Casper (The One)
The Casper 'The One' is a baseline all-foam mattress that uses proprietary names like 'Breathe Flex Foam' to obscure technical density (PCF) specifications, which is a major red flag for long-term durability. While it holds CertiPUR-US certifications for safety, it lacks the high-density foam layers, zoned support, and natural materials found in gold-standard mattresses, making it a decent but not exceptional value.
