Zinus 12 Inch Queen Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress, Medium Firm Feel

We slept on this mattress at a resort cabin in Chattanooga. I called the owner to learn the brand because we liked it so much. Been sleeping on it now for several months. It feels very firm when you first lie down, but give it a chance. The memory foam slowly molds to your shape, but not so much so that it grabs you or holds you stuck in place. So, it's easy to roll over. We are both side sleepers and notice we sleep longer in one position with no pressure points on our hips or shoulders. A big benefit is is no sag in the middle because our combined weight that used to make us roll to the middle and go bump in the night even in our spendy Sleep Number matress. The Zinus is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Setting up was simple. The new foam smell was mild and faded rapidly so we slept on it after only 24 hours of letting is expand. It's heavy, so you'll want a hard, smoot base instead of a fabric box spring if you want to slide it around. and you'll definitely want two people if you want to move it to another room. The price/quality ratio here is remarkalble.

I've had this mattress for about a week now. I keep reading conflicting reviews which make me think the company changed the mattress at some point. Even the title says new version so that could be why so many different experiences. I'll start off by saying I'm a 36 year old female I typically sleep on my sides or back. I usually sweat a lot. I'm about 150lbs my son is 8. Back story I just moved and my old memory foam mattress was over 10 years old and was really needing to be replaced. My Chihuahua recently died from a cancerous tumor on her foot and it was bleeding and leaking all over my old mattress. My young son and our opossum also share the bed with me and my son gets nose bleeds quite often. A gallon of milk got dumped on it at one point, peed on, moved a few times once in the rain so it had really been abused but it was still the most comfortable bed I had ever slept on even after 10 years. I even sprayed it down with bleach a few times because of what I just said and even vinegar, rubbing alcohol, peroxide, you name it and it held up great. Only problem was i had no idea what brand it was only that it was memory foam so unfortunately I had no way of ordering the same bed as my old one. This mattress: Smell So i just moved to a new area far away from where I used to live and figured I'd buy a new mattress and just put the mattress directly on the floor so I didn't have to move my whole bed etc. lots of the reviews people complain about a strong smell. I didn't notice any type of smell whatsoever even putting my face in it and taking a big whiff straight out the box. The mattress inflated immediately and although I didn't measure it, I slept on it about 4 hours after I unboxed it. It's now been a week and feels and looks exactly like it did 5 minutes after taking it out of the box. Firmness: Lots of reviews say how firm and hard the mattress is. Mine was listed as medium firmness and although I prefer a firmer mattress I went ahead and ordered it because most of the reviews say it's firmer than expected. I would say it's medium to soft. It definitely sinks in more than my old one did. I sit in bed alot with my back up against the headboard/ wall and I can tell my butt is sunken in way more than my old mattress and my butt is obviously lower than my feet when sitting up in bed. It is comfortable to sleep on but it does take a second to plump back up after I get up or change positions. Cover It says the mattress comes with a removable cover and reviews say it has a zipper. I could tell the bottom side from the top because it looks different and different material. I haven't messed with the zipper but one review said it's a fake zipper. Not sure about mine. The mattress came with the cover already on it and I haven't tried to remove it yet. My roommates son peed on it this evening and now I am wondering and hoping the cover is waterproof. By the look and feel of it I'm guessing it isn't. I will be updating my review as time goes by and say how easy it is to remove, how it holds up in the wash and how easy it is to get back on as well as what the actual mattress looks like without the cover but for now I just blotted up the pee with a clean towel and sprayed it with disinfectant and blotted again. Fingers crossed. I've also read conflicting reviews about weather or not you can flip the mattress and sleep on either side. Some say you can't some say you can. Im guessing if the cover is removed and the mattress is flipped and the cover is put back on zipper still underneath it might work but the position of the zipper wouldn't be comfortable to sleep on as it's not along the edge of the mattress but again I'll update my review when I cross that bridge. The description does show the different layers that make up the mattress so I could understand why some reviews say you can't flip it. Temperature The description says cooling and Its hard to tell because i now live in a new place further south and I have a roommate that keeps this place warmer than what I'm used to. Because of that, I now sleep with a fan although I didn't used to but so far I haven't woken up sweating yet. Size This is supposed to be a 12 in. King mattress and although I didn't measure it, my sheets do fit the same way they did before... Pretty damn tight. I think next time I buy sheets I'm gonna get the extra deep kind because it is fairly difficult to get the sheets on. I may even get a foam topper just as an extra layer of protection too since I was so hard on my old mattress and this one already got peed on and my current sheets definitely won't fit if I add a topper. That will be easier to replace when it gets yucky and I'm also ordering a waterproof cover Incase this one isn't ( I'm fairly certain it isn't or the description would have said so.) Update: It's now been almost a year the mattress is completely dipped in in the center it's the most uncomfortable soft mattress I've ever slept on I really wish I would have gotten the protection plan because I spent $400 on it and the bed sucks I'm now looking for a firm mattress this bed is horrible and it didn't even last a year I never had back pain until a couple months after sleeping on it now my back and all my joints hurt I'm very upset

This QUEEN mattress is awesome! I'm always amazed how you can take something out of the box that is totally shrunk down and then you open it and "poof" there's a 12 inch mattress that appears! This mattress is very comfortable and the right amount of firmness for two adults and a 50 pound dog to sleep on. I would highly recommend! UPDATE: A few months later I ordered a KING size version of this for another bed and its just as nice and comfortable. This time I needed to dispose of my old mattress. All the junk removal places were quoting me $120-$150 to come to my house and take away a King size mattress. I used the Amazon delivery/install/haul away option for $80 which was great. The guys carried the box upstairs, unboxed and placed the mattress and took away my old one.

So far, it has been very firm compared to my usual wishes but I've been resting much better than usual. I recommend that you buy a larger sheet than recommended. I bought a queen but it's much too large for my sheets. You may also want to buy a slipcover, in order to clean it more easily, since it is not made like a typical mattress, but instead, it is a big, foam, block. It also did not pop up to the promised 12" height immediately and took a few days. It finally came to a 11 3/4". I am not complaining. It did not smell bad at all, but my cat was a bit scared of it, probably because I'm not strong enough to drag it here and there. I am otherwise having a having *very* good rest. I don't have the same trouble breathing as I used to, because it keeps my back very straight. I bought the medium-firm. It's totally released all of my back problems and I have none of my hip or sciatic issues. I am now feeling younger and more energetic than I have in 20 years. I can't say that it's all the bed's, "fault," absolutely, but it's noticeably helped align my body and breathing, all of the fibers, tissues, and et al in my opinion. For your info: I am 5'3" according to my last doctor's visit, and 108lbs according to my last weigh-in. I sleep with one cat, about 10lbs. I bought this in hopes it would support my loose hip/pelvic connection and it does, very well.

I love Zinus items! They are efficient, well made, smart, and easy to move and pack. I loved the Zinus green tea 12” queen firm memory foam but I sold it when I moved, and thought this same model but medium firm might be amazing too. But I was wrong. After sleeping on it with pain for 9 months, my back issues never got the love of a nice mattress. The firm Zinus was amazing bc as soon as I put my head down I was in heaven. My body melted into the mattress as one and my back with herniated discs were supported and I never had pain, and I had the best sleep and fell asleep as soon as I laid on the bed. But this medium firm is terrible for old back pain. It doesn’t mold to fit your body and has no support. It’s not even soft. It’s just a flat piece that sinks w your body weight and I wake up w back pain. So for ppl who have perfect backs it’s ok but I recommend the firm bc it still forms around your body and you fall into it but this one just sinks as a whole unit and doesn’t contour your body.

I was super excited to find a mattress with no springs and no fiberglass. However, this one is not it. I have ordered from this brand before as well as Amazon basic mattress and this is the most uncomfortable one I have ever tried. I have given it chances, sleeping on it for over a week now. Every night I am waking up multiple times with back pain. I am going to order a mattress topper pad to see if that helps. If all else fails I will post it on marketplace. I should add- i am a fan of medium firm beds, pillows, etc and not looking for super soft. But having my back hurt this bad each day is not good.

Good quality but the mattress is VERY firm. You dont sink in at all. It aggravated my siatic and I woke up with a sore lower back. We had to get a softer mattress topper to make it comfortable.

I spent a lot of time reading reviews and searching for a box mattress. I was having a lot of lower back and hip pain. Waking up sore every morning. I had an original purple mattress and absolutely loved it but after 11 years, it was no longer supporting well and had been through raising 3 babies so it was time to pitch it. I didn't have the same kind of money to buy a new purple mattress so found myself looking for a cheaper option. I tried dream cloud and nectar and was not impressed. Found a review on this mattress with someone talking about their back pain disappearing after using this mattress. Then when the black Friday sales came and this mattress was half price I couldn't pass up trying it. First couple weeks were rough. My body hurt, this mattress felt way too firm and I wasnt sure I could survive it. But I remembered reading a review before a bought my purple mattress and they said you were gonna have some soreness as your body realigned after years of failed support in a mattress. It took a few weeks before the waking up stiff and sore went away. And I realized I hadn't had any lower back or hip pain since using the mattress. 3 months later, I absolutely love this mattress. Downside, I think it holds heat and makes me overheat in the middle of the night . I just bought a cooling mattress protector to see if it will help. But it could also be my 44 year old body acting up. Oh and an extra plus, I also don't feel my spouse tossing around all night.
