Retired last year and finally replaced the 15 year old spring mattress that had a permanent dip on my side. Bought the Casper Original about 8 months ago. I'm a side sleeper, around 180 lb, and my shoulder and hip stopped aching in the mornings, which was the whole reason I bought it. It is not too soft and not too firm, just right for me, and I haven't noticed it sleeping warm at all. My wife and I both sleep on it with no complaints so far, and I don't feel her moving around. No sagging yet, but it's only been 8 months so I can't speak for year 4 like some folks on the forums. Delivery in a box was easier than I feared, it did smell a little for the first day. Very happy overall.

Over seven years in and still the comfiest bed they've laid in
Liked it pretty well and found it more enjoyable than any traditional spring mattress, but now wants something cooler and more durable.
Eight years in, still flat as a board and contouring with no sagging, through four moves
Ten years in on the original queen and still loves it with no complaints
Nine years of ownership and still happy with it
Felt good in a ten-minute try at a Casper store, though hard to judge from so short, in contrast to a Casper Element that leaves them in lower back pain every morning.
Liked the Casper Original slept on for five days at a vacation rental in June 2020; the website bundle looked like a deal that starts to beat Costco.
