Instead of getting out of the bed I’d just fallen in love with, I was handed a remote control, and encouraged to press the button with a planet in outer space on it this button, it was explained, would take me into what Casper calls “Zero Gravity”-an optimal state where your upper body and feet are elevated, allowed to relax in some kind of mystical way. in the Chicagoland market deserves not only a raise but a massive promotion (maybe to CEO). I’d had no intention of checking out a new bed frame or base, but I figured I’d humor him for a few minutes, since I didn’t actually have anything better to do. Let’s return to the scene of the crime, shall we? After I decided on a mattress, I was ready to leave the store (mostly because I hate being in public), but the homie at Casper insisted that I try the adjustable base-yes, one of those bed frames that can be angled to give you a little lift or a full, almost-upright boost. The mattress, indeed, has made my sleep significantly better but it was another Casper product that actually changed my life. (Spoiler alert: I ended up loving my picks from the brand so much I wrote a whole article about its finest offerings.) Ultimately, I settled on the Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress, which, while not inexpensive, was the most comfortable surface I’d ever laid my tired, broken body on. After perusing a wide array of options, I visited Casper, trying out the brand’s majorly hyped mattresses and pillows of all sorts.

I was prepared to spare no expense, hoping that finally having a luxurious sleeping situation might change my life for the better. I researched options far and wide, looking for the best mattresses and frames I could afford. It’s hard to say whether it was the years of rotten sleep or the decade-plus of therapy that finally did it, but last year, I set out to invest in a very good bed. For years, the horrible beds, couches, chairs, and bus stops where I counted sheep didn’t provide much rest at all, amounting to little more than a stiff back, tired legs, and an unquenchable need for good coffee. I’ve slept in conditions you people wouldn’t believe.
