The Zinus mattress is one of the most popular memory foam options on Amazon (very reasonable price, lots of good reviews) so I was excited to try it for myself.
Overall I liked this bed-in-a-box mattress, but had some complaints as well. See my experience in my full Zinus mattress review.
You will like the Zinus mattress if you…
- Are looking for great value – Zinus is priced incredibly low for a mattress of its quality, between $100-$300 depending on size and model
- Want lots of reviews – Zinus has been on Amazon for quite a while, with many positive reviews (and a few negative reviews for good measure)
- Like the pure memory foam feel – Zinus has a pure memory foam feel (they also have spring and hybrid options available which I didn’t try)
You may not like Zinus if you…
- Want a luxury mattress – Zinus is great value, but it’s not the best memory foam mattress available on the market. If you’re willing to pay significantly more, you can get more
- Want a long trial period – many of the bed-in-a-box options will offer free refunds for a long period (eg 100 days). Zinus offers 30 days, though note these other options are usually at least 2x the price as well
Feel and Firmness
See the feel of the Zinus mattress below:
There are a variety of Zinus options to suit different firmness and feel preferences, this is the average firmness model. As you can see, it has a very slow reaction time, which is typical for memory foam mattresses.
This model is probably the best option for the majority of sleepers. You may want to choose one of the softer or firmer mattresses if you are a side sleeper or stomach sleeper.
Motion Transfer Test
The Zinus mattress I tested was memory foam, so we expect it to perform very well in terms of motion transfer. See the results below:
I haven’t tested the hybrid or innerspring mattresses from Zinus, but I expect that the memory foam options will perform the best in terms of motion transfer.
Construction and Materials
The Zinus mattress I tried is four layers of foam totaling 10 inches thick. These layers include:
- Top comfort layer: 3 inches of 2 lb density memory foam
- Transition layer: 2 inches of 1.7 lb density pressure relief memory foam
- Base layer: 3.5 inches of 1.7 lb density comfort curve memory foam
- Base layer: 3.5 inches of 1.7 lb density comfort curve memory foam
The densities for memory foam can loosely used to gauge durability. At these densities, I wouldn’t expect the mattress to last a lifetime, but at this price point it should be fine to replace the mattress every 5-10 years. See a close-up of the mattress cover below:
Other things to note
- The mattress is available on their own site or Amazon (more popular)
- Zinus has a number of other value products, including toppers, foundations, and pillows
- Products are not made in the USA
Final recommendation
I had a good sleeping experience on the mattress, and I think one of the Zinus options could be good for anyone, depending on their sleeping preferences. Zinus is definitely a great value for the price. With so many reviews on Amazon, I would say this is definitely a good option for people with a lower budget (less than $400).
