Pros and cons of Casper’s pillows

Wondering if a Casper pillow can give you that Sleeping Beauty snooze? Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons.

Types of pillows available from Casper

Need more deets before you feel comfortable trying a Casper pillow? We’ve got you.

FYI: All of Casper’s pillows come with a 30-night risk-free trial, free shipping, and a 1-year limited warranty.

Original Casper Pillow

The Original Casper Pillow is kinda like a deep-fried Oreo (but made with a down alternative instead of sugar): It’s got a supportive center covered with a light, fluffy layer to give you the best of both worlds.

It comes with a 100 percent cotton cover designed to increase airflow (so long, night sweats!), and it’s filled with polyester microfiber. It may even be a good choice to avoid waking up with a stiff neck. Why? One review suggests that polyester pillows may help with neck pain.

This pillow is a bit on the firmer side, so it’s ideal for side sleepers who need some extra support. Stomach sleepers may find this one a bit too high to sleep at ease. It’s available in standard or king size.

Casper Foam Pillow

Like the Original model, the Casper Foam Pillow has a supportive inner layer that’s covered on each side by a plush layer. It’s built with high density and low density foams to keep your neck aligned and your body cool.

What’s so great about that? A 2020 review suggests that a cool, contoured pillow can help improve sleep quality.

Casper Down Pillow

The most expensive of the three models is Casper’s Down Pillow. This one is also available in a standard or king size, and it’s made from 100 percent responsibly sourced certified down feathers.

It also has a “five-chamber” design meant to provide support and breathability.
