Casper Sleep S-1

I guess its because many people think that they need to sleep well in this hectic times and cannot allow themselves tu cut cost on a mattress. Expensive = good quality. Turns out this is nonsense - we have a foundation in germany that does independend product tests for all varieties of things and came to the conclusion that the best mattress they ever tested was some 200€ mattress.

We have the same in the US (consumer reports) and the Casper hybrid mattress currently has the 2nd highest rating. Expensive is not necessarily better, but it is often correlated.

It’s worth noting European sleep preferences are different than Americans, tending to prefer much firmer mattresses, so different testing results make sense.

That’s pretty interesting, why do you think Europeans have different preferences. I guess I (maybe naively) assumed that the distribution of preference would be the same for all countries.
