It's hard to miss Casper these days. The company has changed the way we think about buying mattresses -- by selling just one, available online only. Until now.

The mattress company has announced an exclusive partnership with West Elm. Now, shoppers can try out Casper's "one perfect mattress" in stores for themselves. If they like it, they can place an order on the spot and have it delivered to their home in two to five days. True to Casper's online roots, you won't be able to walk away with a new mattress in the store.

With a "100 night" trial period, Casper has already removed one of the hurdles for buying a mattress online -- namely, what if you don't like it? But even with a money-back guarantee, some people may still be hesitant to make such a hefty purchase without at least trying it first.

"Demand for Casper has been overwhelming," Philip Krim, cofounder and CEO, said in a press release. "It's an incredible opportunity to build upon that demand with West Elm, a partner with a national reputation for great design and innovative partnerships."

Casper's decision to leave the online-only sales space is reminiscent of another e-retailer, Warby Parker, and its choice to open brick-and-mortar stores for shoppers.

What Your Sleeping Position Says About Your State Of Mind

Sleeping On Your Front(01 of11)

If you sleep on your front with your arms cradling the pillow and your head to the side, according to research from sleep specialist Chris Idzikowski, PhD, you're likely to be outgoing and brash. This exterior belies a thin-skinned underside and individuals who sleep in this position (which he terms the "Freefall") are averse to criticism and tend to be anxious. Physically, this position is a good choice since it can help aid digestion. (credit:Getty)

Snuggled Up (02 of11)

According to recent research from Professor Richard Wiseman's team at the University of Hertfordshire, happy couples sleep less than an inch apart, with 31% of the 1000 people he surveyed saying they faced the same direction while sleeping. The study also found that outgoing extroverts tended to sleep close to their partners. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping In A Foetal Position(03 of11)

Curling up on your side in a foetal position (one of the more common sleeping positions) can indicate anxiety and also a tough outer shell. It tends to be a more common position for women to sleep in than men. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping On Your Side With Arms Outstretched(04 of11)

According to Professor Idzikowski, people who sleep in what he terms the "Yearner" position (on their sides with arms out in front) have an open nature and a tendency to be cynical or suspicious. They take their time deciding things, but commit to their choices once they've made them. (credit:Getty)

Back-To-Back Sleeping(05 of11)

According to the University of Hertfordshire's recent survey that measured couples' happiness based on sleeping positions, sleeping back-to-back is the most common sleeping choice for twosomes. Couples who slept far apart reported being less happy than those who slept close together. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping On Your Back(06 of11)

If you sleep on your back with arms to the sides, it shows high self-confidence; sleeping on your back with arms up around the pillow suggests you're a good listener and always ready to help out a friend. The physical downside is that this position could make snoring more likely. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping On Your Side With Arms Down(07 of11)

If you're easy-going, well-adjusted and sociable, you're likely to be a side-sleeper. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping On Your Left Side(08 of11)

Apparently, the side of your body that you sleep on can also help determine certain characteristics about you - researchers from the University of Hertfordshire found that more creative types tended to sleep on their left sides. Left-side sleepers are also likely to have more nightmares than their right-side sleeping counterparts. (credit:Getty)

Sleeping On Your Back With Your Arms Pinned Down(09 of11)

The position that Prof. Idzikowski terms the "Solider" involves sleeping on your back with your arms pinned down and suggests that a person is quiet and shy, setting high standards for themselves and their friends. (credit:Getty)

Couples Making Contact(10 of11)

Couples who make physical contact during the night are happier than those who don't. 94% of the couples who touched while sleeping said they were happy compared to 68% who didn't touch, according to recent research from the University of Hertfordshire. (credit:Getty)

What About Dreaming?(11 of11)

According to research conducted by associate professor at Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Dr. Calvin Kai-Ching Yu, sleeping on your front can cause you to have your most vivid and physical dreams (including those sexy ones). It's thought that the physical position of being pressed up against the bed might play a role in inducing sexual dreams. One to try this evening? (credit:Getty)
