Casper has announced it now accepts Apple Pay on the web through Safari on both its desktop website on Mac and mobile website on iPhone and iPad.

Casper is a New York-based startup that sells an award-winning foam mattress exclusively through its website. The online retailer's product lineup also includes a pillow, sheets, foundation, and dog bed, available in the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Apple Pay on the web is a convenient and secure option for online payments, eliminating the need to repeatedly fill out account, shipping, and billing information for a more seamless checkout experience. Compatible devices include iPhone 6 and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3 and later running iOS 10 or above.

Apple Pay on the web is a new Safari feature on iOS 10 and macOS Sierra, expanding upon in-store and in-app payments. The feature started rolling out in September on websites such as Staples, easyJet, Indiegogo, StubHub, and Wayfair, with other committed partners to follow.

I've heard this company advertised a lot on podcasts and things. Has anybody here actually used one? I've considered getting one in the next year as our mattress is starting to get a little old and I'd like to preserve it for a guest room. We usually like our mattresses a little on the softer side, but I like having firm edges so I don't feel like I'm going to roll off.

I've had one for a couple years and love it. My wife wasn't fond of it at first. She said it was too firm for her. I called them about it and they sent us a mattress pad free of charge. The company is great. They have a trial period for their mattresses so you can try it out for 100 nights and if you don't like you'll get your money back. They'll send people to pick the mattress up and it'll be donated to a local charity.

Edge support is something you give up when you go with a foam mattress. Well, I should say GOOD edge support.

Personally, I just received a Brooklyn Bedding mattress a few days ago. Freaking LOVE it. Edge support is clearly worse than my innerspring mattress, but it isn't awful. I highly recommend the mattress...I did literally weeks of research and out of all the bed-in-a-box companies, I found that they use the highest quality internal materials (latex/foam density).

To each his own though. Everyone likes different beds and the awesome thing about these online companies is the super long trial periods they offer.
 
For $125 CAD, that better be a darn good pillow!

I love my memory-foam contoured ergonomic pillow. I can't imagine why the standard shape of pillows still doesn't support the neck like an ergonomic one does. Helps me breathe much easier.

I've heard they're too firm. I have an Endy and it's considered soft compared to Casper and I still find it firm. Glad Apple Pay is being adopted though

I love my yoga bed mattress. I can't really speak about firmness and softness that's not my thing, I just like a comfortable bed and couldn't tell you if it was too hard or not haha. Lots of companies like this though.

If you live in a location with a West Elm store... they have Casper mattresses in their showroom for you to try out in person.

Sorry, mattresses are one thing I don't need to be trendy. Have just ordered one from Hastens after trying loads in their store. Now those are proper beds.
 
It seems strange that Apple doesn't even support Apple Pay on its own online store.

I know the Apple Store app exists, but it should be easy to support Apple Pay for the online store too with the Mac.

Yes. It was the worst 2 weeks of my life. They are extremely comfortable to lay on, but an entire nights sleep was so bad for my back. They say there is up to a 90 day adjustment period, but who can wait that out?!

It was my first time trying trying these types of matresses. I like a very firm bed, and I actually think these sink too much. I'm light too, 5'11" 155.

the return process was easy though. I wanted to love the bed...my body didn't.

There is billions of people on this rock sleeping on thin mats and a rolled up trouser as pillow. They get up every morning and never complain about painful backs. I have no doubt these mattresses are very good ones but reading this article, sipping on my overpriced cafe macchiato with caramel topping about finally being able to pay for these babies with Apple Pay makes me feel like a dumb first world snob stressed out with first world non-problems. What has become of me?

I stop my rant and I'm signing out now. Gotta file a complaint to Uber, I specifically asked for a car with dark brown interior and they've sent one with light brown. And have to get home by 11 for bringing my dog to its weekly pedicure appointment. And forgot to charge my watch last night.

Yeah I'll have to try one out the next time I'm in KC or STL.

Yeah, back problems run in my family. Most of the men in my family got them pretty young in their 20s or 30s. Back in 2007 (about a month after I joined MacRumors, lol) I hurt my back in a whitewater kayaking incident trying to free myself while trapped under the water drowning. I was successful, but my back was not so lucky.

We slept on one a few months ago at my sister-in-laws. I was excited to try it out since we were in the market for a new mattress ourselves. While I only got a couple of nights sleep on it, I really didn't like it at all. Personally I felt it was a bit too soft and it seemed like my hips would sink in more than the rest of my body. I also tend to be a very hot sleeper and the mattress held on to a lot of body heat.

I found out the hard way they accept Apple
Pay. I was on their site adding things to my cart(for fun) when I saw the link to Apple Pay. I thought, oh that's interesting, so I clicked on it. Then got interrupted so I pressed the home button to go back to the home screen, but instead I bought 2k worth of mattresses, pillows, and bedding. Haven't told wife; but I assume she'll find out when she signs for the box and then has to carry the 120lb box up 3 flights of stairs.
 
Do they sell to the Netherlands yet? I got 500 saved for one of these things, and I'd love to use Casper. The last time I bothered them they weren't. My bed is terrible, I rather sleep on camp air bed right now. But unable to drive myself, and local places having near 100$ delivery and clunky to get in the apartment upstairs here.. I really think a box from casper is the solution. I can hardly find bad reviews. And the period you can 'try' it for free, is amazing compared to just lying down for 3s and going 'i guess' on something you then sleep on for YEARS.

Sigh, .. CASPER, come to NL plz! *throws money at screen*
 
That's awesome! I hear (via YouTube reviews) Purple makes a significantly better mattress, though.


I found LA Mattress online and saw that they had a great reputation as well. They offer a 120 day comfort guarantee and free delivery in Los Angeles. I checked them outh and purchased a bed. I love my new bed from LA Mattress. If you are looking for a new bed I bought the best mattress from Los Angeles Mattress Stores.

That was exactly what I experienced. It causes my back to be misaligned.

That's a no-go for me then. I get really hot when I'm sleeping, and since we bought a bigger house this summer, we keep the temperature a lot warmer at night than we used to. Most nights during the summer I didn't sleep with even a sheet over me and the ceiling fan going.

In your research, did you check out Novosbed? They have an adjustable firmness thing that I'm considering. I just don't believe this one size fits all stuff. Seems like over simplification to me. Almost like removing a headphone port... I also don't want to buy a mattress just to end up returning it with no other options, no matter how long the trial period is.
