Through 2014 to 2018, Casper was everywhere on the Internet, flooding advertisements into every trendy podcast, website, and KZfaq video. Need a mattress? Want a mattress? Buy Casper. Not comfortable buying a mattress you’ve never seen or touched before? No problem! Sleep on it for three months and return it anytime for a full refund within those 100 days, no questions asked.
