The Casper Element represents Casper's most affordable offering - stripped down to essentials but maintaining quality foam and certifications. At $395 for a twin, it's one of the better budget options from a name brand.

CertiPUR-US Certified: Yes (8/10) Foam tested for harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and VOCs.

No GREENGUARD Gold: No Lacks the more rigorous finished-product testing.

No Fiberglass: Yes (9/10) Casper uses a fabric fire barrier, not fiberglass.

Off-gassing: 7/10 Typical foam smell for 48-72 hours. Ventilate well.

Support: 7.5/10 Adequate for lighter weights. May lack support for heavier teens.

Cooling: 7.5/10 AirScape holes help but it's still all-foam.

Durability: 7/10 Expect 5-7 years. Thinner profile than premium options.

At $395, this is competitive for a CertiPUR-US certified mattress from a major brand. 10-year warranty and 100-night trial add confidence.
