Derek Hales History With Casper

Derek Hales

Published

Derek Hales has a history with Casper. If you’re interested in the history and how it may affect Derek’s reviews of Casper products, keep reading.

In 2014, Derek founded Sleeopopolis.com, a website that tested and reviewed mattresses, including Casper’s. In 2016, Casper Sleep sued Derek Hales and Sleepopolis about those reviews. The lawsuit settled, and Derek sold Sleepopolis to a company that ran a competing review website. That company’s purchase of Sleepopolis from Derek was financed by a loan provided by Casper.

This is in the past. The leadership of Casper has changed, and Derek is very excited about NapLab.
