Casper's Magical Nap Pods

In college, I never missed a nap, especially after 6am practices. As a creative, I’ve always found it hard to unwind and unplug…until now.

As the Casper team would say, “welcome to slumberland!” The mattress company recently opened a magical oasis in New York City where you can actually take a break from life and rest up in one of their private, cozy nap pods. How does it work? I’m glad you asked!

For just $25 dollars, you can book a nap for 45 minutes on the softest mattress ever. The Dreamery by Casper is located at 196 Mercer Street in Soho, Manhattan. As soon as you enter, you’re hypnotized by the magical blue starlit entryway. Once you’ve made it out of the clouds, you’re greeted by a staff member ready to pamper you with constellation-print pajamas and a goodie bag full of essential oils and face creams to help sooth your skin while you sleep. Before you change, take a moment to enjoy the yummy snacks in the lounge area. Trust me, you’ll need a little pick me up after your nap.

The welcoming party is just a small piece of the action. The Dreamery is full of magical details. One of my favorites parts of the experience is what I like to call your nap prep time. After receiving your pajamas, you’ll head to the changing area – four rooms with custom mirrors fit for photos and boomerangs so that you can share your experience with your friends. There’s also a shelf stacked with all types of trinkets like toothbrushes and toothpaste, towels, eye covers, you name it! Casper encourages you to take what you need so don’t be shy. Once you’ve finished snapping selfies and sharing your experience; store your stuff in a locker, take a seat, and get ready for your nap. A staff member will quietly escort you to your nap pod. I promise you won’t want to wake up. Enjoy and sleep tight!
