Casper is a sleep startup that launched with an outrageously comfortable mattress sold directly to consumers — eliminating commission ­driven, inflated prices. The critically­ acclaimed sleep surface was developed in-house by a team of product engineers with experience from IDEO and NASA, has a sleek design, and is delivered right to your door in a small, “how did they do that?” sized box.

Experiencing substantial growth, Casper now sells a sheet set, pillow, dog mattress, and foundation. Casper is expanding internationally and already launched in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the UK.

Casper was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in the World, and its eponymous mattress was crowned one of Time's Best Inventions of 2015.
