According to our survey of adjustable bed users, 46.6% of Casper customers agreed that their adjustable base helped them to get in and out of bed more easily. ^[1]NCOA Adviser Adjustable Beds Survey. 1,000 respondents. Conducted using Pollfish. Launched June 2023.

Based on these positive reviews, our Reviews Team decided to delve into the brand, revealing why Casper gets the “Best for Basics” pick in our best adjustable beds for seniors article.

Additional products and costs

Every adjustable base is compatible with Casper headboards, and with most other types of headboards, but only if you use the Casper headboard brackets. You can purchase the pair of brackets when you make your base purchase, or later on their own, for $45. The brackets are universal, which means they can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally to fit different types of headboards.

If you’re using a headboard from a company other than Casper, our Reviews Team recommends checking with your headboard’s manufacturer first to be sure brackets can be attached, or measuring the section of the headboard where the brackets would attach to it to make sure the brackets will reach from the base to the headboard.

Casper headboard brackets have multiple attachment points to attach your adjustable base to a Casper headboard, or to most other types of headboards.

Casper adjustable bases have adjustable legs (except the basic model, which has fixed 12-inch legs), but the legs are removable, allowing you to “drop” your adjustable base into a standard bed frame. The Casper website states that its adjustable bases are compatible with most bed frames, but recommends its own Casper Repose (starting at $795) and Casper Haven (starting at $1,495) models for this purpose. If you choose or already own a bed frame from a different brand, make sure it’s compatible and strong enough to hold an adjustable base.

Casper adjustable bases don’t include a mattress, but if you’re in the market for one, all seven Casper mattresses are compatible with the bases. Prices range between $595–$3,995, depending on the mattress size and materials. Casper memory foam mattresses cost less than its hybrid material mattresses. All mattresses arrive in a compact box (often termed “bed-in-a-box”) and expand to their full size within a few hours of opening. You can also opt for a foam or hybrid mattress from a different brand, but always check compatibility with the manufacturer. We highlight some favorites in our Best Mattresses roundup.

Casper payment options

Casper accepts all major credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You can also use online payment platforms like PayPal or Amazon Pay.

If you’d rather finance your adjustable base, you can apply through Affirm at checkout. Financing options range between 12–24 months, but the annual percentage rate could be as high as 36%.

Casper shipping and delivery

The Casper website says its adjustable bases ship for free within one to two days via standard ground shipping with the United Parcel Service (UPS), with delivery taking about three to nine business days.

Casper offers a white glove delivery service ⓘAnother term for in-home delivery and setup. A delivery service will carry the product into your home and help you set it up. Depending on the brand, this may include old product removal. and mattress removal, but it costs an extra $199 at checkout (unless you live in California, where old mattress removal is free). According to customer service, when you opt-in for the delivery service, your order will be shipped to the company’s delivery partner in your area within one to three days. The delivery partner will then contact you to schedule a time to set up your new adjustable base and remove your old mattress, if applicable. You may also receive a call one or two days before the scheduled delivery to confirm the time window.

Not all companies offer white glove delivery and old product removal, but if you’d like this included with your purchase at no extra cost, check out Saatva adjustable beds.

Casper warranty and returns

Every purchase of an adjustable base comes with a 10-year limited warranty. This term length is relatively short compared to brands that offer 25-year or lifetime warranties, like Saatva and Tempur-Pedic.

The Casper 10-year warranty covers manufacturer defects on parts, including the metal frame components and hardware, with repair or replacement at no cost. It also fully covers electrical components for the first two years. If you have an electrical malfunction after the first two years, you will be responsible for the replacement, labor, and shipping costs. The warranty does not cover product misuse, normal wear, or damage to the base’s cables or fabric. Mattresses have similar warranty lengths and terms. You can find details on the Casper warranty page.

If you’d like additional coverage for your base, you can opt for the Adjustable Protection Plan. One-time payments range between $109–$399, depending on the model and base size. With the Adjustable Protection Plan you’ll get extended 10-year protection for the electrical components, and you’ll also get coverage for motors, wiring, and the remote controllers.

Casper’s adjustable bed trial period is 30 nights starting when your base is delivered. Many companies don’t offer a trial period for adjustable bases, so this is a nice perk. If you want to return your purchase during the trial period, the company covers pickup costs and will provide a full refund. First, you must contact Casper customer support to arrange a pickup through a charity or recycling service. Then, you’ll receive your refund. The returns process is the same for mattresses, but you’ll get 100 days to try them and can only initiate a return after you’ve used the mattress for 30 days.

Casper customer service

You can reach Casper customer service one of the following ways:

• Phone: 888-498-0003, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Saturday and Sunday
• Live online chat: Located on the bottom right of the website, available seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET
• Store: Find a local retailer using the website’s interactive map

When our Reviews Team spoke with customer service online, we received prompt answers from a live agent. Although the agent didn’t know all the answers to our questions, they would place us on a brief wait while they found out. We also noted that some answers were inconsistent during our research. For example, one agent told us only one remote control comes with split king adjustable bases, while another agent said there were two remotes.

When our Reviews Team used the phone line to contact customer service, we were able to talk to an agent without a hold time.

How we research and evaluate adjustable beds

Our Reviews Team extensively scrutinizes adjustable beds to make sure we only recommend those we believe will make a difference to our readers. Together, we’ve researched prominent brands by mystery shopping adjustable beds, understanding the experiences of real customers, and consulting with independent sleep experts to better understand why people seek out adjustable beds. Our method includes testing adjustable beds for ourselves, considering comfort, price, delivery, warranty, brand reputation, and more to gauge whether the adjustable bed is appropriate for NCOA readers’ needs.

Bottom line

Casper adjustable bases range between $795–$3,390 and offer a range of features, depending on the model.

If you’re looking for basic adjustability for a lower cost, or if you need a full-sized bed, the Casper Adjustable Base is the best pick. The Adjustable Base Pro is good for those who prioritize the massage feature and additional customization, like adjustable legs and an added programmable preset. But if you’re looking for ways to age safely at home, opt for the Adjustable Base Max’s wall-alignment function and under-bed lighting.

If you’re unsure what you need, ask your doctor about finding a home evaluator who will assess your living space and personal needs. These professionals are usually rehabilitation specialists, like occupational or physical therapists. They may be able to recommend other money-saving ways to sleep better, move easier, and improve your home’s safety.
