The Origin 2.0 Mattress vs Casper Mattress

The box weighs between 33 pounds for a twin size and 64 pounds for a king size, so it's always best for two people to carry it.

All mattresses from Polysleep come in minimalist-looking boxes made from recycled and fully compostable cardboard to reduce the carbon footprint. Even if the process of unboxing is simple as 1,2,3 there is a QR code on the box that goes in dept in the process and give additional information on the mattress.

It opens from the top when the box is leaning horizontally on the ground, kind of like a pizza box. The instruction on the box makes it easy to quickly understand how to open the box to reveal the vacuum-packed rolled mattress.

The box contains only the mattress and one small paper insert. There are no additional tools such as a cutter to avoid as much waste as possible.

Once you remove the mattress from the 2 plastic bags - carefully with a pair of scissors or a knife - the mattress instantly takes is shape in seconds. The mattress will take 24 hours to fully expand, but most of the job to sleep on it is already done within the first seconds. When we unpacked this mattress, we didn't smell anything like some other roll-packed mattresses do.

The package weighs 57 pounds for a double mattress and up to 109 pounds for a king-size mattress, so it's quite heavy. Two people are required to handle the box and unpack it. 

The Casper Element mattress is delivered in a colorful cardboard box decorated with the brand's logo. 

Unpacking the Casper Element mattress is relatively straightforward. It includes an extra step compared to the unpacking of Origin 2.0 as the packaging includes an extra layer of plastic. 

The box opens easily from the side. It contains the vacuum-packed mattress, wrapped in a second layer of plastic. 

The box contains the mattress in its double packaging, plus a brand guide. 

Once out of its packaging, the mattress takes up to two days to take on its normal shape. However, you can use it almost immediately. 

The mattress smells slightly like new. This smell is generated by the deployment of the foam.

Polysleep's Origin 2.0 mattress features 3 layers of premium foam. It measures approximately 10 inches in thickness. 

The mattress, which is CertiPUR-US certified, is made entirely of foam. It contains no latex or harmful chemicals. The top layer is ISO 20743 certified, confirming its antibacterial properties. 

Breathable cover: water-resistant and removable by zipper. Machine washable. 

Antimicrobial comfort layer (1 inch): ISO 20743-certified antimicrobial foam. The top layer prevents the proliferation of microbes and mites. In addition to promoting healthy sleep, it guarantees a longer mattress life. 

Transition layer (2 inches): the middle layer is made of aerated foam, which effectively isolates movement and vibration within the mattress. This material also facilitates air circulation. The result: a more stable mattress that's always fresh. 

Support layer (7 inches): this base layer provides incomparable support and reinforcement. Made up of millions of foam cells, it redistributes weight evenly, for exceptional comfort.

The Casper Element mattress consists of three foam layers, which guarantee a certain degree of comfort and support. 

The Casper Element mattress is CertiPUR-US certified. 

Non-removable woven polyester cover. 

The perforated foam comfort layer promotes air circulation. 

Transition layer in memory foam helps align the spine. 

The polyurethane foam support layer prevents sinking and sagging.

The Origin 2.0 mattress features a lightweight, water-resistant, breathable cover. The cover is easily removable for washing. 

For our water test, we poured around 2 cups of water onto the mattress surface. The water was instantly repelled by the water-repellent cover and drained directly onto the floor. The remaining liquid was wiped away, leaving no trace. To have a full waterproof protection, we would suggest adding our waterproof mattress protector.

The Casper Element mattress cover is not water-repellent. This means the mattress is vulnerable to liquids. Plus, as the cover is not removable, it's more difficult to clean in the event of a minor accident. 

Our water test was conclusive: all water spilled on the Casper Element mattress was absorbed.

The Origin 2.0 mattress is designed to effectively limit motion transfer and disturbance caused by sudden movements.

To carry out this test, we placed a glass of wine upright on the mattress. Then, one of our employees jumped onto the bed. Result: the wine glass remained upright.

The Casper Element mattress limits motion transfer quite well. 

Our test with the wine glass produced a rather positive result. The wine glass stayed upright and moved very little in the face of our tester's jumps.

The Origin 2.0 mattress benefits from fairly sturdy edges capable of absorbing weight with relative efficiency. 

For this test, our testers simply sat on the edges of the mattress. The edges provided good weight support. 

However, if edge support is particularly important to you, we recommend the Polysleep Mattress with a support frame.

The edge support of the Casper Element mattress is not marked. 

During the test, the mattress edges collapsed completely under the weight of our tester.
