If you’re in the market for a foam-based mattress, you’ve likely heard of both GhostBed and Casper. But which is the best pick for you?
Keep reading as we compare GhostBed’s quality, comfort, price and more to Casper to see who comes out on top.
GhostBed VS Casper
Best Mattress Overall
Don’t have time to read the whole article? Here’s how GhostBed and Casper stack up:
Both GhostBed and Casper offer quality foam-based mattresses with CertiPUR-US® certified materials, but the details tell a different story.
GhostBed customers rate their experience slightly higher at 4.8 out of 5 compared to Casper's 4.5, and the warranty coverage tells an even bigger story. While Casper offers the industry-standard 10-year warranty, GhostBed provides 20-25 years of coverage—double the protection.
Moreover, GhostBed’s founder brings over two decades of manufacturing expertise to mattress-making, compared to Casper's 2014 founding by business entrepreneurs. (More on this next!)
The winner: Consumers searching for a highly-rated foam mattress with an industry-leading warranty and proven manufacturing expertise will love GhostBed mattresses.
GhostBed vs. Casper: Materials and Quality
Casper made a huge splash when they launched their bed-in-a-box in 2014, raising millions from venture capital investors. They built their brand on clever marketing and celebrity endorsements from Leonardo DiCaprio to Kylie Jenner.
But big marketing budgets don't create better sleep—proven expertise does. Which is exactly what our founder, Marc Werner, brought to the table 13 years before Casper even existed. Marc started designing Nature’s Sleep mattresses in 2001, after years of working at his family’s Werner Ladder Company. Later, he launched GhostBed as a direct-to-consumer offshoot to bring the same quality directly to customers.
Now operating as a third-generation family-owned business, we don't have investors demanding quick returns on their celebrity endorsements. We can focus on what actually matters: sourcing the highest-quality materials and building mattresses that truly last.
Meanwhile, Casper's focus on investor returns shows in their approach. You pay extra for their Snow technology, for example, if you want better temperature regulation. At GhostBed, cooling comes standard in every mattress because we believe great sleep shouldn't cost extra. Plus, each mattress comes equipped with our ProCore™ technology, providing 33% more support where your body needs it most.
The winner: With our founder's 20+ years of mattress expertise and family-owned focus on quality over profits, GhostBed uses proven materials that are built to last.
GhostBed vs. Casper: Price
Here's where things get interesting. Casper raised hundreds of millions in venture capital funding, and guess who ultimately pays for that? You do, through higher mattress prices.
GhostBed takes a different approach. As a family-owned business, we don't need to generate massive returns for celebrity investors. We can focus on offering quality mattresses at fair prices, often saving you hundreds compared to similar Casper models.
Whether you're comparing our Comfort collection to Casper's The One, our Signature line to their Dream models, or our Luxe mattress to their Snow collection, you get comparable quality without paying for their marketing overhead.
The winner: GhostBed's family-owned structure means premium quality without the investor or retail markup.
GhostBed vs. Casper: Trial Period and Warranty
Both GhostBed and Casper understand that buying a mattress online requires a leap of faith, so they both offer sleep trials to test at home.
The trial periods are nearly identical: GhostBed offers 101 nights while Casper gives you 100. Both require a 30-day break-in period before returns, and both provide full refunds if the mattress isn't working for you.
The warranty coverage on your mattress is a different story. Casper offers the standard 10-year warranty that most mattress companies provide. With GhostBed, you get double that: 20 years for the Comfort mattress and 25 years for the Signature and Luxe collections.
That's not just a number—it's a reflection of how confident we are in the materials our team sources and the manufacturing processes we’ve perfected.
The winner: GhostBed's warranty coverage lasts 2-2.5 times longer than Casper's, showing real confidence in our craftsmanship.
GhostBed vs. Casper: Comfort
When it comes to comfort, GhostBed generally earns higher scores than Casper. In a review of the two mattress brands, Sleepopolis gave GhostBed an overall rating of 4.6 and Casper an overall rating of 4.1.
Casper's approach to comfort has received mixed reviews from customers. Their Zoned Support™ technology, featured in models like the Casper Original, hasn't always delivered. One customer shared that their Casper Original "offered subpar support," going on to say "there is no body contouring nor firmness, just soft unsupportive foam that feels cheap."
Meanwhile, GhostBed customers consistently mention waking up refreshed and pain-free. As one customer put it: “I was diagnosed with arthritis in my early 20s, and sit in an uncomfortable office chair all day. I had my doubts, but I can actually sleep a whole night and not feel like I got hit by a bus when I wake up!”
The winner: Independent reviews and customer feedback show GhostBed delivers superior comfort compared to Casper.
