Casper mattress sales are coming in strong ahead of this October's Prime Day. The best deal right now will help you save 50% on closeout mattresses at Casper, which includes the popular (and recently discontinued) Casper Wave Hybrid Snow. It's yielding the lowest prices we've seen for this luxury cooling mattress, with a queen-size Casper Wave Hybrid Snow dropping to $2,157 (was $3,595). It is a final sale item, which means you can't return it – but if you're fine with that caveat, jump on this offer before it's too late.

If you're searching for current models, most Casper mattresses are 20% off at Casper, which is a smaller discount compared to what we've seen in recent months. The lone exception is the Casper The One mattress on sale from $599. That's the lowest price we've seen for this memory foam mattress to date. 

Early Black Friday deals will soon start slowly trickling in, so you'll want to bookmark this page as we'll be updating it as soon as Casper's offerings for the holiday are live. (We expect the rest of the current lineup to drop in price by then.) In the meantime, take a look at the best Casper mattress deals available right now...

It's not only hundreds of dollars less than the current Casper Snow Max, but it's much firmer, too – something to keep in mind if you're a back/stomach sleeper.

3. Casper The Essential King: from $795 $397.50 at Casper
Get 40% off!
It's rare to find a king-sized mattress for less than $400, let alone one from a renowned brand like Casper. The Essential is a basic 3-layer memory foam mattress that'll likely be similar in feel to The One mattress in Casper's current lineup. If you're seeking a king (or California king) mattress at a super low price, don't delay – once this deal is gone, it won't be coming back.

Casper Labor Day mattress sales: what to expect

Ever since Casper refreshed its entire mattress lineup in early 2024, the brand has become much more generous with its discounts. Previously, a typical Casper sale would feature 10% to 15% off, with the occasional 30% discount for the now-discontinued Wave Hybrid and Nova Hybrid models. Rarely did we see a larger discount across the board – and even then, it would be a maximum of 25% off.

However, this year marks a new era for Casper. So far in 2024, we've seen as much as 35% off the premium Casper Snow Max hybrid mattress and the budget-friendly Casper The One memory foam mattress. The rest of the range has been on sale for up to 30% off. These discounts appeared during Casper's Memorial Day and 4th of July mattress sales, and we also saw The One and the Casper Snow reduced by 30% for Labor Day.

Meanwhile, Casper's clearance section boasts big price drops on discontinued mattresses, ranging from the premium Casper Wave Hybrid Snow to the basic Casper Essential. These previous-gen models are currently 40% off and likely to remain as such as we head into Labor Day, although there's no guarantee that stock will be as flush by then as sizes are already limited. Also, these mattresses are final sale so you won't be able to send them back.

Which Casper mattress should you choose?

The current Casper lineup features three main models and five mattresses in total. The cheapest is the Casper One (branded as The One). This 11" all-foam mattress has a medium-firm feel and replaces The Casper and The Original. A queen-size retails for $1,245, but it's been as low as $799 in recent sales.

The Casper Dream Hybrid is comparable to the Casper Original Hybrid. It has a core of pocket coils and a layer of ergonomic memory foam that delivers support and relief in the areas you need it most. It retails for $1,875 in a queen-size, although it's been on sale for up to 30% off.

The Casper Dream Max Hybrid assumes the Casper Nova Hybrid's role as a soft yet supportive mattress that'll suit side sleepers, It adds another layer of zoned foam for a total of seven ergonomic layers. The top comfort layer is gooier for more pressure relief – and purportedly more breathable than what's found in the Dream Hybrid. The queen-size retails for $3,125 before discounts.

Rounding out the main lineup are two cooling mattresses. The Casper Snow Hybrid is a revamp of the 2023 model, with a softer (medium) bed feel and updated Snow cooling technology. A queen-size retails for $2,495, with recent sales knocking as much as 30% off.

For maximum cooling relief, there's the Casper Snow Hybrid Max, which is the successor to the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow. It has dual layers of ergonomic memory foam and twice the Heat Delete Bands of the Casper Snow Hybrid. The top layer of Soothe Memory Foam gives it a 'gooey' feel. This is Casper's most expensive mattress. A queen-size retails for $3,745 but it's been discounted up to 35% off since launch.

There's also a Costco-exclusive model, the Casper Cooling Select. It replaces the discontinued Casper Select and adds a cooling cover. Available as a hybrid or all-foam mattress, it's an affordable alternative to Casper's main cooling models.

The best Casper mattresses on sale now

1. Casper The One mattress deals

The best Casper mattress for back sleepers on a budget

Sizes: Twin to Cal King; also split king | Depth: 11" | Type: Foam | Brand-rated firmness: Medium-firm | Trial: 100 days | Guarantee: 10 years | MSRP: $875 - $2,050

Best value Casper mattress
Great for all-over pressure relief
Should dampen movement well
May be too firm for some
Edges could be sturdier

The Casper One mattress – or simply The One – is the only memory foam mattress in the brand's main lineup. It consists of a responsive top foam comfort layer, a middle layer of pressure-relieving memory foam, and a dense foam support core.

We agree with Casper's assessment of medium-firm. When we tried it hands-on, the surface was much more solid than we'd anticipated. Our tester found it most comfortable for back sleeping, as the foams did an excellent job of distributing her body weight in that position. Side sleepers and smaller bodies may find it too unyielding, while some stomach sleepers might wish it was a touch firmer.

This lack of profound sinkage could help The One sleep cooler than typical foam beds, but we advise hot sleepers to consider either of Casper's cooling models instead. Motion isolation should be on par with the now-discontinued Casper Original mattress (very good), but heavier sleepers could find the edges lacking.

Casper's lone all-foam mattress is also its most affordable – and it's regularly on sale, too. The current Casper mattress sale knocks prices to the lowest we've seen, with a twin going for $599 (reg. $875) and a queen discounted to $799 (reg. $1,245). The standard extras are included: a 10-year warranty and a 100-night sleep trial.

2. Casper Dream Hybrid mattress deals

The best Casper hybrid mattress for most sleepers

Sizes: Twin to Cal King; also split king | Depth: 12" | Type: Hybrid | Brand-rated firmness: Medium | Trial: 100 days | Guarantee: 10 years | MSRP: $1,495 - $2,990

Great balance of relief and support
Plenty of ease of movement
Sturdy edges for sitting
Doesn't isolate motion as well
Won't hug like memory foam

The Casper Dream Hybrid features an ergonomic memory foam layer that's more supportive under the hips, waist, and lumbar and cushioned along the shoulders and knees for pressure relief. The base consists of wrapped pocket coils plus a dense foam rail for edge support. The top layer of Casper Breathe Flex Foam gives it a responsive bed feel.

In her hands-on review, our tester found the Casper Dream Hybrid the most balanced and comfortable out of the entire Casper lineup. She was comfortable no matter how she lay, which is a testament to the ergonomic foam layer. The Breathe Flex Foam contours nicely but doesn't sink as deeply as memory foam. It's easy to move around on, which bodes well for combi sleepers like our lead tester. The edges are sturdy to sit on, particularly along the middle perimeter, but some Casper customers have complained about a higher-than-average level of motion transfer.

A queen-size Casper Dream Hybrid retails for $1,875 but it's been discounted from launch. We've seen it on sale for as much as 30% off, which dropped the price of a queen to $1,305. A 10-year warranty is included, as is a 100-night sleep trial.

For strict side sleepers or lighter back sleepers, consider the Casper Dream Max. This medium-soft mattress adds a second zoned memory foam layer with narrow channels to cradle your body and has a Breathe+ Flex Foam layer that's purportedly 20% more breathable than standard Breathe Flex Foam. This premium hybrid retails for $3,125 in a queen size, but it's regularly on sale for up to 30% off. Note that it doesn't come in a standard twin size.

3. Casper Snow Max mattress deals

The best Casper mattress for hot sleepers

Sizes: Twin XL to Cal King; also split king | Depth: 14" | Type: Hybrid | Brand-rated firmness: Medium-soft | Trial: 100 days | Guarantee: 10 years | MSRP: $3,125 - $6,250

Comfortable for side and back sleepers
Remarkable cooling tech
Targeted relief and support
Expensive
No twin size
Not for stomach sleepers

The Casper Snow Max is a premium cooling mattress that combines phase change materials with six aluminum graphite Heat Delete Bands for up to 12 hours of continuous heat dissipation, according to the brand. It also features the 7-zone ergonomic support core found in the Casper Dream Max, along with a top memory foam comfort layer that gives the bed its 'gooey,' medium-soft feel. It's wrapped in a specialty cool-touch cover.

During our hands-on assessment, our tester found the Casper Snow Max soft yet supportive for side and back sleeping, a credit to its ergonomic foam layers. The memory foam is indeed squishy but responsive enough that it's not difficult to change positions. We can't speak about the Casper Snow Max's cooling properties at length, our tester immediately noticed its soothing sensation from the moment she sat on it – even with bedsheets on. However, it has most of the same cooling materials as the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow, which is very promising.

The Casper Snow Max is the most expensive mattress in Casper's lineup; a queen retails for $3,745. It's been marked down since launch – but it's still a pricey bed, even after as much as 35% off. It comes with Casper's standard 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty, which are weaker extras relative to the cost. There's no twin XL size, either.

If you can't justify spending that much, try the Casper Snow Hybrid instead. It's still an investment, though – the MSRP for a queen-size is $2,495, with regular savings of up to 30%. The Casper Snow Hybrid has fewer Heat Delete Bands and only three ergonomic zones but otherwise has the same build as the Casper Snow Max. It has a medium feel, which our tester found suitable for side sleeping, but the 'gooeyness' of the top memory foam layer is more pronounced and could be an issue for combi sleepers.

How many years does a Casper mattress last?

A mattress warranty is usually a good indicator of how long you can expect a mattress to last. Casper includes a 10-year warranty with all of its beds, which is within the average of how long a mattress lasts in general.

How you care for your Casper mattress will help you get as much use out of it as possible. Wrapping it in a mattress protector, using a sturdy bed frame or foundation, and rotating your mattress every six months are some ways you can help your mattress last longer.

Try not to put your Casper mattress on the floor, either. Doing so can breed mold and mildew due to the lack of ventilation. Not using a proper bed frame may also void your warranty.

What is the difference between Casper and Purple?

Casper vs. Purple Mattress

Casper and Purple were among the first sleep brands to adopt an online-first shopping model, yet both have since opened brick-and-mortar locations to appeal to the majority of mattress shoppers. They also offer the same trial terms (100 nights) and warranty length (10 years).

While Casper and Purple promise comfier sleep and a relatively seamless buying experience, these are otherwise two very different mattress brands. Below are the key differences between Casper and Purple:

  • Materials: Casper built its reputation with an all-foam mattress and has expanded its lineup to include hybrids. Purple pairs its signature GelFlex Grid with foam and springs.
  • Selection: Casper's current lineup comprises five mattresses, while Purple offers nine mattresses across three collections. Most Purple mattresses sit in the premium price tier, whereas Casper spans the mid-range to premium brackets.
  • Feel: Depending on the materials, a Casper mattress will either have a classic memory foam feel or a firmer, more responsive surface. The Purple GelFlex Grid gives its mattresses a less orthodox, 'jiggly' feel.
  • Sales: Until recently, neither brand was known for consistent sales. Since revamping its lineup, Casper regularly cuts 20% to 35% off. Purple mattress sales are comparatively less frequent and usually shave up to $400 off.

Does Target own Casper?

Target does not own Casper, but the retailer did try to acquire the mattress company for $1 billion in 2017. (Target ultimately made a minority investment.) Casper mattresses and sleep accessories are still available to purchase at Target.com.

As of January 2022, Casper Sleep has been owned by private equity firm Durational Capital Management. In January 2024, Joe Megibow was named CEO of Casper Sleep. (Megibow previously held that position at rival mattress company Purple.) We spoke to Megibow and Casper's VP of Product Development, Russell Jelinek, during a tour of Casper Sleep Labs upon the release of Casper's current lineup.
