Casper, the Millennial favorite mattress brand has partnered with American Airlines to bring consumers comfort at 30,000 feet in the air with a new line of in-flight sleeping products.
The new promotional partnership will offer new air travel-based sleeping products, like pillows, sleeping masks, pyjamas, slippers, blankets and a duvet cover on selected flights. This line of specifically curated in-flight products marks the brand's transition into a new, higher-end client base, as the line will be offered exclusively to "first or Business Class and Premium economy on long-haul international flights, transcontinental flights."
American Airlines is hoping the game-changing mattress brand can bring a new, younger client-base, while pleasing an existing one with the same comfort and quality that resonated with its online buyers.
