Casper's story
Casper is an American e-commerce company that sells mattresses online. It was born in April 2014 in New York , the city where it has a showroom. Its creator, Philip Krim, is not unknown in the field of bedding. He has been in command of angelbeds, tranquilitymattress.com and SleepBetterStore.com, three companies specializing in the online marketing of bedding items.
Communication was not left behind and a month after its launch, based on its innovative concept, the Casper company pocketed its first million. Faced with this colossal success, many personalities decide to participate in the adventure and offer additional funding to society. It manages to raise more than 50 million euros from actors such as Leonardo Di Caprio and Ashton Kutcher, or from funding groups such as Lerer Hippeau Ventures.
As of November 2015 , Casper is expanding its product offering to include pillows and sheets . It also markets a dog mattress in August 2016. If until now, the company only offered a single model of mattress , it has since August 2017 diversified its range with the launch of a silicone polymer model, supposed to offer better ergonomic support. After 30 months of existence, Casper has generated more than 300 million euros in revenue. After having seduced the USA and Canada, and in Europe, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom and even Austria, Casper finally landed in Paris.

Opinion on the Casper mattress concept
Casper is above all an original concept, which has since been adopted, and which has attracted the greatest number of consumers from its launch. The company offers only one model of mattress, which is neither too firm nor too soft, to suit everyone. Studies have shown that 80% of sleepers seek a flexible welcome and firm support. The company therefore had to develop a mattress technology that meets these criteria. This mattress model is available in several sizes.
In addition, Casper offers its product at a reduced price, between 550 and 750 € because the company sells its products only online. Exit therefore the big surfaces of stores and the sellers which make climb the final note.
Another salient detail of the Casper concept is the delivery of its products. First of all, it is carried out 24 to 48 hours after the order. Then the mattress is delivered in a small box, in which it is compressed and rolled. Just take it out of its packaging and it will return to its original shape in a few hours.
Additional advantage: you can try your mattress for 100 days. A real innovation in the field of bedding! You can thus really realize the quality of your product and check that you feel good there for a good night.
Finally, if your mattress does not suit you, Casper offers to pick it up at your home, even if stained or without its original box, and reimburses you in full. The mattress is then recycled or offered to associations.
Good to know : Casper mattresses have a 10-year warranty.
