Definitely thought it said 'designed by dogs' and I was SUPER impressed...
I can't help but be slightly bitter that dogs can benefit from Casper mattresses before I've managed to - but thats my fault haha.
What was the inspiration to go in the doggy-bed direction?
@bentossell Thanks, Ben! Since launch, thousands of customers have shared photos of their four-legged friends jumping on the human mattress. Dogs love the Casper as much as their owners do, and we wanted to design a considered, thoughtful, and comfortable experience for their best friend.
@neilparikh@bentossell I love your website, your ads on podcasts, and generally everything about your company. I'm in dire need of a mattress and I'm willing to purchase one from you guys except (sadly) I live in Australia. Would you able to reveal when/if you are expanding to ship to my home in Melbourne? Thanks so much.
The closest alternative in Australia is Ecosa I'm much more sceptical of their product quality. Alternatively, I could spend $5000 on a memory foam Queen size mattress in the store...
@bentossell lol :-D I was going to get a Casper mattress, but went with Purple instead. Nothing against Casper, just my boyfriend ended up ordering from Purple.
Business reason for this could be to use excess material ;) Friends have a onesie startup and they started creating hoodies for dogs as a way to use the end of the fabric roll. Neil may or may not want to weigh in on this one haha
@thatmattgardner Hey Matt! We designed the dog mattress from the turf up. Our product team usually follows human centered design, but in this case dog centered design is certainly more appropriate. We worked to create the perfect dog bed with the best possible materials — the final design uses many materials that are unique to the dog bed.
@neilparikh Sounds awesome! I'm pretty sure my next (human) bed will be a casper, this double isn't cutting it anymore and I want a King ;) Thanks for you and your team's work!
does the foam absorb liquid through the cover? dogs chew and drool in dog beds, whole thing needs to be washable or cover as waterproof - but site doesn't clarify
@passingnotes Hey David. The cover is made with one of the strongest bonded microfibers available. The cover is very easy to remove for washing — simply wash in cold water on the gentle cycle and tumble dry on low.
Fabulous! One information that is missing is about temperature. I have a lab that gets really hot in summer. We tend to have to go looking for beds that dont get too hot. Tempurpedic beds dont work for instance.
@arjunram Dogs have evolved in great ways to regulate their temperature: through shedding, panting, sweating through paws, and seeking out cool surfaces to lie down on. Rather than creating an electric air conditioned dog bed, we designed a thermally stable that will keep a dog comfortable and warm. But not too warm.
What is this, the age of Caligula? Where are we, the last throes of the Roman Empire? What's going on, a third thing? Ah, those pups deserve it. Cute product.
