The Origin 2.0 Mattress vs Casper Mattress

A good night's sleep is one of the pillars of good health and a long life! But to enjoy a good night's sleep, a quality foam mattress adapted to your specific needs is essential. 

To help you in your quest for the ideal mattress, we're pleased to present a comparative study of two mattresses: Origin 2.0 by Polysleep and Casper Element. As you will see from this detailed study, each mattress has its strengths and weaknesses. 

 

In this analysis, we look at different aspects of these two mattresses, such as firmness and edge support. Each aspect is analyzed through different tests, carried out under the same environmental conditions. For these tests, we asked 4 employees to test the two mattresses themselves and then give us their personal opinions. 

The Origin 2.0 vs Casper Element duel is on!

Unpacking: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

Unpacking a mattress is a much more important step than you might think. It tells you, for example, about the brand's approach to ecology, or the presence of chemicals in the mattress. It's a phase that cannot be overlooked!

Origin 2.0 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.

Casper Mattress

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.

Construction: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

In this stage, we take a close look at the structure of each mattress. This determines not only the level of comfort and firmness but also the durability and longevity of the mattress.

Origin 2.0 Mattress

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.

Firmness: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

Firmness is one of the most important elements to consider when choosing a mattress. Designating the immediate sensation of lying down, it is linked to the mattress's level of suppleness/support. Therefore, it has a direct influence on sleep quality. 

As it cannot be measured scientifically, firmness is mainly subjective. Its ideal level will depend on the sleeper's profile, expectations, and preferences. For this test, we asked our 4 testers to lie down on the two mattresses and give us a value between 1 and 10 to assess firmness. 

Each mattress was tested under the same environmental conditions, i.e. a temperature of 18°C and a humidity level of 28%. Both tests were carried out one week after unpacking. We used a Polysleep base as support.

FIRM

Designed to satisfy a variety of sleep preferences, the Origin 2.0 mattress offers an intermediate firmness. 

It is ideal for those seeking the optimum balance between support and comfort. Strategically alternating layers of high-quality foam ensure consistent support for all sleeper profiles. Whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side, the Origin 2.0 mattress will adapt to your natural sleeping position. 

We'd rate the firmness of Origin 2.0 at 7/10. 

As the mattress structure is made up of total layers, we don't recommend it for users weighing over 220 lbs. For people over 220 lbs, it's best to invest in a mattress with reinforced support zones, such as the Zephyr 2.0 or Aura Mattresses. These will ensure better spinal alignment.

The Casper Element mattress offers intermediate to high firmness

This mattress is recommended for those who sleep on their backs. It's also a good choice if you tend to get hot at night. 

Our firmness test gave an overall value of 7.5/10. 

This mattress should be avoided by sleepers who weigh more than 250 lbs. It's also a little too firm if you sleep mostly on your side or stomach.

Water Test: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

Resistance to water and liquids is an essential feature if you want a mattress that lasts over time. So,1 when you're looking for your ideal mattress, make sure it has a water-repellent cover.

Origin 2.0 Mattress

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.

Casper Mattress

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.

Winner

Motion Test: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

Do you sleep in pairs? Do your pets like to visit you at night? Do your children climb into bed early in the morning? In all these cases, it's important that your mattress limits movement transfer. This property guarantees that you won't be roused from sleep by a sudden movement!

Origin 2.0 Mattress

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.

Casper Mattress

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.

Winner

Edge Support: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

Edge support is an aspect that is often overlooked when looking for a new mattress. Yet, good edge support has multiple benefits: it reinforces the overall stability of the mattress, prevents sagging over time, and provides a solid boundary. Plus, if you have trouble getting up in the morning, it makes it easier to jump out of bed!

Origin 2.0 Mattress

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.

Casper Mattress

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.

Verdict: Origin 2.0 vs Casper Mattress

We hope that this comparative study of the Origin 2.0 mattresses from Polysleep and Casper Element has helped you to see more clearly in your quest for the ideal mattress. Several conclusions can be drawn from this duel: 

  • Packaged, the Casper Element mattress is significantly heavier than the Origin 2.0 mattress.
  • The structure of the Casper Element mattress is less elaborate than that of the Origin 2.0 mattress, making it less adaptable to a variety of sleeper profiles. 
  • Both mattresses offer intermediate firmness; the Casper Element mattress is firmer than the Origin 2.0 mattress. 
  • The Origin 2.0 mattress cover is water-repellent and removable while the Casper Element cover is not. 
  • Movement transfer is effectively limited by both mattresses
  • The Origin 2.0 mattress offers good edge support, which is not the case with the Casper Element mattress.

Overall, the Casper Element mattress is a good choice if your budget is limited, but you're looking for a quality mattress with a good level of firmness. It will suit those who sleep on their backs and is good for couples. 

The Origin 2.0 mattress will be perfect if you're ready to invest in a high-quality mattress that's adaptable to a wide range of profiles, hard-wearing, and environmentally friendly. 

We hope this Origin 2.0 vs Casper Element duel has given you the keys to finding your perfect mattress. In any case, don't forget that the best reference for choosing a mattress is you! Above all, rely on your own expectations and experience.
