The quick answer#
You cannot buy a Casper mattress new in the UK. Casper withdrew from the UK and European market in 2020 to concentrate on North America, closing its UK operation. If you are searching for one, you are looking for a mattress that no longer sells here, so the practical question is which UK-available mattress does the same job.
Casper's appeal was a medium, neutral-feeling foam mattress sold direct at a fair price. The closest equivalents we score are the Superior Cashmere at £198 and, if you want springs and a trial, the Luxe Velour Hybrid at £399.
What happened to Casper in the UK#
Casper was one of the brands that created the bed-in-a-box category, launching in the UK in 2016. In 2020 it pulled out of Europe entirely, a decision reported at the time as saving the company around $10 million a year, and closed its UK store and showroom. Which? covered the withdrawal for UK buyers at the time.
The upshot for you: no new Casper mattresses, no UK warranty support to rely on, and any listing you find is likely to be old stock or a third-party reseller. Our historical write-up is in the Casper mattress review, and the wider category is covered in online mattress brands in the UK.

The alternatives in detail#
Closest feel: Superior Cashmere, £198#
Casper's original selling point was a neutral medium foam feel that suited most people, rather than the deep sink of traditional memory foam. The Superior Cashmere is the closest thing we score: a 23cm medium foam build with a cashmere-blend cover, 8.8 for comfort and 8.5 for support, at £198.
If you want a trial: Luxe Velour Hybrid, £399#
Part of what made the bed-in-a-box brands work was buying unseen with a trial as the safety net. The Luxe Velour Hybrid keeps that structure, 100 nights, a 10-year warranty and free delivery, on a 28cm medium hybrid at £399.
Cheapest we recommend: Westwood Memory Foam, £109#
The Westwood Memory Foam scores 9.3 for value on an 18cm medium foam build at £109. Best suited to spare rooms, first flats and lighter sleepers.
Deeper foam build: The Saffron Comfort Deep, £174#
The Saffron Comfort Deep gives you 23cm at £174, scoring 8.5 for comfort. The extra depth is what makes a foam mattress viable for average and heavier builds rather than just light ones.
Side sleepers: Luxe Nova Hybrid, £599#
The Luxe Nova Hybrid is our only 10.0 comfort score, a medium-soft 30cm hybrid built to let the shoulder sink while the hips stay level. Support is 7.0, so heavier sleepers and anyone with back pain should choose differently.
Hot sleepers: LuxeTherm Hybrid, £449#
The LuxeTherm Hybrid combines phase-change foam with a sprung core, the two mechanisms that actually move heat, at £449 with 8.8 for value.
What you give up#
We would rather you hear this from us than find out after paying. The Foam People do not advertise a home trial, and their warranty runs to 5 years rather than the 10 the bed-in-a-box brands offer. If the freedom to send a mattress back after two months matters more to you than the price, that is a legitimate reason to pay more elsewhere, and our guide to trial periods explains what the trial small print usually means in practice.
Luxe Mattresses sit in between: a 100-night trial, a 10-year warranty and free delivery, at prices still well under the premium bed-in-a-box brands. If a trial is non-negotiable, start there instead.
Frequently asked questions#
Can I still buy a Casper mattress in the UK?#
Not new from Casper. The company withdrew from the UK and European market in 2020 and closed its UK operation. Anything you find listed here is likely to be residual stock or a third-party reseller, with the warranty questions that implies.
What was Casper's mattress actually like?#
Its reputation was built on a neutral medium foam feel designed to suit the widest range of sleepers, sold direct with a trial. Medium is also the firmness band most often supported by the research for general sleep quality.2
Which UK brands are closest to the Casper model?#
Direct-sold brands with trials, which in our catalogue means Luxe Mattresses, 100 nights, 10-year warranty, free delivery. The Foam People sell direct and cheaper, but without a trial.
Is my old Casper still under warranty?#
Check the terms you were given at purchase and contact the retailer you bought from. Warranty support after a market withdrawal is not something to rely on, which is worth factoring in when deciding whether to repair or replace.

How we picked these alternatives#
Every mattress above is one we have scored ourselves out of 10 for support, comfort and value, using the same framework for each (see how we score). We ranked candidates on the specific quality people are trying to replace, not on overall score alone, then sense-checked the shortlist on price, warranty and what happens if you don't get on with it.
Not sure which suits you? Our mattress quiz takes four questions and ranks the whole catalogue against your position, build and budget.
Prices and specifications are as published by the brands on 21 September 2026 and change often, check the current price before buying. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you, and it never affects a score. See our affiliate disclosure.
