I almost bought a Casper in 2021. The queen Original was $1,095, and I kept waiting for a sale that never got below $875. Then last fall I checked again and the price had dropped to $695. Same mattress, same queen, no coupon. I paid full price and didn't regret it — but I also missed that Casper ran a 25% off promo a month later, and that's the kind of thing you should know before you click.
How the lineup stacks up right now
As of early 2025, Casper has four main models. The prices below are for queen, and they're what you'll see on Casper's site most days (not a fake 'compare at' trick).
- Casper Original – $695 (down from $1,095)
- Casper Snow – $1,495 (down from $2,095)
- Casper Wave Hybrid – $1,995 (down from $2,895)
- Casper Nova Hybrid – $2,495 (down from $3,195)
That's a serious drop from just two years ago. But here's the thing: the price cuts aren't identical across sizes. A twin Original is $495, but a California King is $795 — that's a bigger jump than I'd expect, considering both use the same foam recipe.
Also, check the size differences carefully. The Snow costs $1,495 in queen, but a split king (two twins) will run you $1,790 total, not $1,495. Same with the Wave — if you want the adjustable base, you're adding $500–$900. I didn't factor that in until I saw the total in my cart.
Where the 2025 cuts are real
Casper dropped the price of the Original by $400 this year, and that's not just a promo. The queen was $995 at the start of 2024, then $895, then $695 by November. It's been stable at $695 since.
The Snow also got a $600 cut, and the Nova Hybrid $700. But the Wave Hybrid? It's been $1,995 since March last year — no change. If you're looking at the Wave, you're getting a discount from launch, but not a 2025 cut.
What I can't tell you: whether these are permanent or because they're clearing stock before a new model. Casper isn't saying. But the current lineup is the same three models from 2023, so the prices are at their lowest in my memory.
What you actually get at the price
I've slept on the Original for three weeks, and my partner has had the Snow for a month. Here's what the money buys, not in brochure speak.
The Original's foam is medium-firm — if you sleep on your back, it's comfortable. The sinkage is about 2 inches with my 160 lbs in the middle. But the edges? If you sit on the side, it compresses 3 inches and rolls you a bit. Not terrible, but you'll feel it.
The Snow is softer and noticeably cooler — my side of the bed stayed about 4 degrees cooler when I used a thermometer on a 72-degree room. The Wave Hybrid has springs that respond faster when you switch positions, but it's more expensive, and the feel isn't dramatically different unless you're 200+ lbs.
The one number that decides it
Casper's price 'sale' isn't traditional — they don't announce clearance. Instead, they run a steady 20%–25% off with free pillows if you wait for a holiday. I've seen Presidents' Day an average of 22% off every model, and Black Friday similar. Sign up for their email if you can — they sent a 25% off code two days after I bought mine, and support credited the difference. So the actual hit to your wallet depends on when you buy.
My advice: if a $695 Original fits your budget and you want a mattress now, wait two weeks for a promo. If you miss it, call support — they'll honor the current sale price retroactively.

The one factor that decides whether Casper is worth it isn't the queen price — it's the size you need. Because the twin is cheap, but the king is $795, and that's the same as a mid-range competitor with more pressure relief.
