Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

We spend approximately one-third of our lives in bed. Conventional mattresses, pillows, and bedding can contain PFAS stain-resistant treatments, formaldehyde flame retardants, synthetic dyes, and off-gassing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Children are particularly vulnerable — they spend more time in bed and their bodies are still developing.
Why We Rated It This Way
Casper's CertiPUR-US certification ensures low VOC emissions, which is a meaningful improvement over uncertified foam. However, the synthetic foam and PFAS stain treatment are concerns for a product you sleep on for 8 hours nightly.
