This post is a sponsored collaboration between Casper and Gothamist staff. Use code DCIST for $50 towards the purchase of any size Casper mattress!

A mattress is something you use daily for years and, unlike a car or a house, you sure shouldn’t get it used. Add that expense to the mysteries of actually buying one and you’ve got one of the worst grownup chores out there. But we’re willing to bet you don’t even think about it until you’re really in the thick of it, desperate and alone at Mattress Discounters, on the internet, at your friend’s yard sale.

How am I supposed to get this home?

How do people afford these things?

Should it be firm?

Should it be soft?

Can I ever really know?

If you haven’t been there, you will be soon, and that’s where the 2015 service economy is truly there for you. Casper is a sleep startup that sells outrageously comfortable mattresses directly to you, and they are a steal.

The Casper surface—developed by engineers with experience at IDEO and NASA—is a latex-memory foam hybrid that combines support with a healthy bounce. Order yours and get free shipping, free returns, a 100-night home trial, and a courier to pick it up in-home if you decide that it’s not for you. And the whole thing comes impressively squashed into a 41″ x 21″ x 20″ box, small enough for the trunk of a cab.

We thought we’d give the service a try, and after exactly zero seconds of convincing, Morgan, our lovely Marketing and Partnerships Manager, graciously agreed.
