Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
Five layers of CertiPUR-US®-certified foam for the ideal medium firmness and contouring support.
  • 1" Comfort Blend™ Integrated Topper
  • 2" Airflow Top Layer
  • 1" Supportive Air Technology™
  • 4" FlexSpring technology core
  • 4" Durable Premium Base.
The Hub is the core that powers the Pod.
The Pod Pro includes:
  • Room Climate and Weather Response
  • Daily Health Check & HRV Monitoring
  • GentleRise™ Wake Up Technology
  • Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating
  • Advanced Sleep Tracking
  • Free iOS/Android App
The Casper Original is good for sleepers of all kinds who want both support and cooling. Three layers of construction:
  • Breathable Polyurethane Foam
  • Zoned Memory Foam
  • Durable Polyurethane Support Foam.
Comfort Info
The Pod's hydro-cooling technology can heat and cool each side of the bed from 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit - keeping you at a comfortable temperature all night. With its Smart Temp technology, the Pod continuously and automatically adjusts the temperature of each bed side based on signals from your body and environment. Water flows through the Hub's hydro-engines to the Active Grid to keep the bed as warm or cool as you desire. Fits next to your night stand. Refill with water every 2-3 months.
With twice as many sensors as the original Pod, the Pod Pro is the first mattress with built-in HRV monitoring, alongside other biometrics such as Resting Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Sleep Stages, and Sleep Time. HRV variations can help you track your health to understand your body's fatigue level and anticipate illness.
A layer of Airscape™ perforated breathable foam increases airflow and circulates air so you don't get too hot at night.
Support Info
Like a premium topper, the integrated Comfort Blend™ pairs with the other four layers of premium foam for the ultimate contouring support while continuing to deliver a personalized microclimate on each side of the bed.
Premium foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure.
Zoned Support™ provides a layer of memory foam with 3 ergonomic zones to help align your spine and provide more relief.
The durable base is engineered to prevent sinking and sagging while supporting your whole body.
Comfort Specs
The Pod Pro features an additional layer of foam in its Active Grid - the thermoregulating layer of the bed. This layer dynamically heats and cools during the night.
The Pod Pro features a proprietary smart alarm. This first of its kind wake-up experience uses gentle vibration at chest level to wake you up while gradually cooling or warming the bed to ensure a smooth morning experience with no disruption to your partner. Set it and control it from the Eight Sleep app.
Stay cool all night with the innovative cooling system. AirScape™:
  • A top layer of perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat.
  • Tiny holes move hot air and body heat away.
Support Specs
The Airflow layer is soft to the touch and outperforms other foam on airflow, elasticity, and instantaneous response to your body impressions.
The Supportive Air Technology™ comforts your body while millions of air cells reduce pressure in sensitive areas.
The FlexSpring technology core is uniquely responsive and features enhanced cradling performance and high support.
The premium base layer absorbs movement while still providing a natural bounce feeling.
Get all-night comfort with the innovative support system. Zoned Support™:
  • 3 zones of targeted support for proper spinal alignment.
  • Softer foam around the shoulders provides more relief to the upper body.
  • Firmer foam under the hips, waist, and lower back helps align your spine.
Fabric Specs
The Active Grid cover with Comfort Blend™
A premium and breathable cover. Water flows from the Hub to this thin and contouring layer to keep you at your ideal temperature. It also includes the sensors that track your biometrics and an integrated layer of foam for superior comfort.
Planet-friendly textiles. Up to 57 recycled bottles in each cover.
