The durable base layer is engineered to support your whole body while preventing sagging and sinking. The top is what the brand calls AirScape, a breathable perforated foam meant to help keep you cool at night, contour around your body, and relieve pressure.

The design of the Element is pretty basic compared to the others and only has two layers of foam. I tested all five of Casper's new mattresses and for those with higher budgets, I'd recommend the all-foam Casper Original ($986 for a Queen) for better heat dissipation and a softer feel. At this price, I'd recommend this mattress for stomach sleepers who sleep cold and prefer a firm mattress.

The Element did an excellent job of maintaining edge support and isolating motion, but the heat dissipation was unimpressive and the flat, firm feel did not contour or support my body. Gone is the budget Essential mattress, and in its place is the Element, which is available for under $600 for a Queen. Casper has updated its entire mattress line - improving some old favorites, getting rid of others, and adding one totally new bed.
