What happens when programmer guys go shopping for mattresses? They toss and turn at night and dream up schemes for disrupting the industry. Two sleep startups are seeking to reinvent the way mattresses are made and sold, streamlining the options and cutting out the middlemen.<\/p>\n

Casper<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: \u201cWe looked at the hotel industry, where they don\u2019t ask what kind of bed you need, and in general, people love sleeping on hotel beds,\u201d CEO Philip Krim told The Verge. \u201cMattress retailers play a game with eight gradients of firmness, for example; that\u2019s how they guide you through the showroom toward something more expensive.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: The Casper consists of latex foam layered on top of memory foam (the engineers behind the product have worked at IDEO, Muji, and NASA, collectively). Prices start at $500 for a Twin Casper and $950 for a California King Casper. The Casper is compressed and delivered in a box that fits in any door.<\/p>\n

Tuft & Needle<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: Founded by a couple of Palo Alto software developers (John-Thomas Marino and Daehee Park), Tuft & Needle wants to be the Apple of the mattress world (\u201cNo one, anywhere, is psyched about the brand of their mattress,\u201d they say).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Above: The Tuft & Needle mattress is available in 5-inch and 10-inch thicknesses (suitable for slatted base or box spring bases). Prices start at $200 for a twin and go up to $500 for a king.<\/p>\n
