   In 8 years, my husband and I purchased five mattresses!! Three were very expensive, one was more mid-range and this one was unbelievably inexpensive. We have had it for six months now and we are both in love with it. I’ve liked it from day one, but it did take me a bit of time to get to the love part. I think all mattresses take a little getting used to, but now, every night when I crawl into bed, I think of how much I love this mattress! This is the first mattress we’ve had in years, that doesn’t give me low back pain, and it’s easy on all the other joints too and we are in our 70’s! There was a very faint smell when we first unwrapped it, but it dissipated in a couple of hours. I’m super sensitive to smells, so I know there weren’t any odors by the time we went to bed. I also can’t sleep on a mattress that traps in the heat so the Green Tea Cooling was an important feature for me. I have never had an issue with it being hot at all but I will add that I make sure all the sheets, blankets and comforters we use on our bed are 100% cotton. (I have found that all synthetic fabrics will retain heat). When you take into account the comfort of this mattress and the price, I believe it is the best mattress deal I’ve ever come across! I highly recommend it. I found this mattress when I spent several nights at a Hotel in Boulder City, Nevada. I loved it so much that I hounded the Front Desk staff relentlessly until they got me the information I needed to order one. It’s definitely one of the best purchases we ever made!

   I researched for MONTHS before buying this. Was very nervous about buying a mattress on line.
   I purchased the 12 inch mattress and couldn’t be happier. It was 11 inches after 24 hours and took a few days longer to be almost 12.
   It is very comfortable, it’s firm but you sink in just enough to be cushioned.
   I am a side sleeper and honestly my aches and pains are gone.
   It took a couple of nights to get used to it, and then I slept better than I have in years.
   No smell at all and was very easy to get on the bedframe (2 people).
   If you are considering this mattress, believe all the good reviews 👍.
   I have only had it for about 6 weeks and will definitely add to review after 6 months.
   💕
   One problem I have is finding sheets with deep enough pockets, anyone have any suggestions?.

   I chose this mattress because I am strictly a side sleeper and have a sensitive knee. So far, it is very comfortable, but I would recommend trying a memory foam mattress in person to see if it is right for you. Memory foam mattresses feel significantly different from regular spring/hybrid mattresses.

   The mattress will take at least 72 hours to fully decompress. Even after 3 days, mine is still softening and expanding. The mattress will feel rather stiff on the first night, though it will soften up as it expands. Mine did not have a noticeable smell, but this will likely vary between mattresses.
   Overall, I think this is a great mattress and the value is very competitive to IKEA and other mattress retailers. It may not be for everyone, so I recommend that you test some memory foam mattresses before purchasing.

   I am a gentleman of size. A size large enough that it is statistically unlikely that anyone reading this review will be larger. I purchased this mattress because my old spring-based unit had finally reached its end of life and I was casting about for a replacement. When you’re a size-enhanced individual, however, maths gets involved. Your options decrease.

   I rolled the dice on this model of mattress because, at the time of purchase, it was a little over $300 Canadian. At time of purchase, this is about the price of a bargain spring mattress. I had serious doubt that this would support me, but was worth the risk.

   The result was beyond my wildest expectations. The mattress provides amazing support, both for myself and my wife. I haven’t slept this well in 20 years.

   Now, I have no way of knowing how long this mattress will last in this condition. Continued use will no doubt reduce the firmness and support of the foam. Just as spring mattresses eventually reach end of life, so too must this foam mattress. That said, I don’t honestly think lifespan should be a serious consideration. The quality of the item is such that I am confident of getting at least a few years out of it, even at my size.

   More to the point, perhaps, the quality of the sleep is such that, at $300 Canadian for the mattress, I would glad buy a new one every year just to be able to sleep that well each night. The ability to wake up refreshed like this every morning will pay for itself a thousand fold. I’ve gotten more done in the first morning after my first night’s sleep on this thing than I accomplished in most of the week prior. Coming from a broken down spring mattress that had me tossing and turning all night, the difference in quality of sleep really is that stark.

   I just purchased this Zinus mattress in an 8″ twin for my granddaughter because I am so happy with my 12″ Queen. I checked to see when I purchased mine and it was June 1, 2021, so it is 4 years old. I am so happy with this mattress that I still look forward to crawling into my bed at night.

   Prior to this purchase, I had a very nice pillow top that was super comfy but I woke up with my back hurting probably because I am a stomach and side sleeper. My daughter told me how happy that she was with her Zinus and had also purchased a twin for both of her kids and everyone was happy.

   It only took 24 hours to get to full capacity and the smell dissipated quickly. I do turn it every couple months since I was in the habit from my previous bed although you can’t tell the difference. The mattress is exactly the same as when I first purchased it.

   I recommend this mattress and for the price, warranty, and for comfort, you can’t beat it. My bf has a memory foam mattress that he paid 3K for (insane) and it doesn’t feel any feel any different than my Zinus.

   There is a reason why there are so many 5 star reviews – don’t hesitate if you are in the market for a great mattress.

   Let me start off by saying that it has been a rollercoaster ride with this mattress. Okay, so why the 5 stars, you ask? Well, I will tell you why.

   When it arrived, everything was great. It was packaged well. Vacuumed sealed so tight I didn’t think it would ever unroll right. I gave it the full 72 hours to inflate. That’s when the problems occurred.

   At 75 hours, the mattress had barely inflated to 8 inches. For reference, I bought the 10-inch. And I know sometimes that the measurements can be a bit off, so I considered it my fault for being such a cheap arse and not forking out for the 12 or 14. My reasoning: I was gonna get a topper at some point and I don’t want to be like Princess and tf-ng Pea in a room with a low ceiling.

   I waited another day. Measured again. No sign of movement. I tried to contact the seller and, well anyone who has tried doing anything on Amazon knows how wonderful that is. Instead of giving me the seller, it sent me ring around the rosy with processing a return. I cannot tell you how many times I made it clear that I did NOT want to send it back and I did NOT want a refund. I only wanted help in trying to resolve this issue myself. I felt it was something that could be fixed. If it came to it, then we could talk about credits or refunds.

   This went on for over an hour. I finally managed somehow to be taken to the manufacturer’s website and, once again went through the drama of “No, I don’t want to return it and I don’t want a refund. I just want help.” I finally reached a human being at some point. A person by the name of Maverick contacted me and suggested I set the mattress on the floor and roll around or walk on it a bit. Apparently, sometimes the memory foam doesn’t want to decompress all the way. These actions tend to help.

   I wrote back to him every time there was movement. 9 inches. 9.5 inches. I was so excited the day after my roommate slept on it that it got all the way up to 10 inches inflated! I immediately fired off a note to Maverick to let him know and to thank him for the suggestions.

   He was patient and told me exactly what needed to be done and why. It never even occurred to me that sometimes memory foam just “be that way” and you have to sort of give it a boost.

   All that said, I’ve been sleeping on it now for about a month. It’s probably the most firm memory foam I’ve ever owned, and I probably could have done well with one a bit squishier, but this is fine. I got exactly what I ordered. I’m not gonna complain about that.

   I don’t see any evidence of fiberglass, as mentioned in another review. Of course, I don’t ever intent to remove the protective cover and will instead have one on top of it at some point.

   It being several inches more shallow than other mattresses I’ve owned, let me just tell you know… it puts them to shame! My previous mattress, same brand, was a 12-inch and not nearly as firm. It had edge issues where you’d fall to the floor if you weren’t careful. I don’t see that being an issue with this one. It’s fairly sturdy sitting on the edge and I imagine that if I had access to the corners they would be the same #sleighbed. And my previous mattress, you could feel the metal slats underneath every freaking time you turned. It was awful. I had to put sheets of plywood down to keep from being gored in the night. With this mattress though?? I don’t feel a dang thing. Granted the slats on this bed are wooden and not metal, even when I pounce on the bed, I don’t feel a thing – just snuggliness.

   I’m waiting for my bed to break if I do that again though – for reference, I’m about 345lbs. Do you have any idea what that does to a bed if you just pounce on it like a lion on the Serengeti? Apparently, nothing (knock on wood). The mattress absorbs the impact. I would be confident with dropping an egg from a skyscraper onto this mattress. That is how awesome it is.

   It didn’t have any sort of weird odor when I removed it from its wrapping. The only thing that sort of made it difficult to get any help was that the date of manufacture was missing from the tag when I was trying to get assistance from the manufacturer. If anyone has to deal with that, just take a picture of the tag anyway to prove that it is blank. It’ll help you out in the long run.

   If I’m ever in the market for a mattress again any time soon, I am definitely purchasing this one – as long as it’s available. I can sleep at night. It doesn’t aggravate my low back pain or even my hip pain. I’m actually grateful it isn’t as squishy as I would like because then my problem would be never wanting to get out of bed. Heck, even with my weight (when lying down) I barely sink into the mattress. And at least now I can wake up in the morning and go about my day without feeling as though my body has been hit by a truck and all I want to do is stay in bed. Very happy with this purchase!

   Took a chance on this mattress after reading all the great reviews. Never had a memory foam mattress before. I am in my mid 50’s and was getting joint pain, shoulders were sore, thought I was getting arthritis. Turns out it was the dip in my bed that was hurting me and causing my shoulders to turn while I was sleeping. I had a 15 year old Simmons Beautyrest with a pillow top.

   The bed arrived and I unpacked it, let it sit for the recommended 72 hours before use. I probably could have used it sooner but I thought I would wait..At first I was a bit worried it would be too hard, and too cold when I layed on it for the first time. That was not the case at all. My first night’s sleep was amazing. Just the right amount of support. It isn’t cold either with sheets and blankets, just the right temperature and I sleep in my birthday suit. I didnt wake up once all night, in fact, I slept in until 10am when I usually wake up around 8am daily.. That’s how I know this was a great purchase. Maybe the best $300 I have ever spent. I know, nobody wants to spend money on a bed..I didn’t, but trust me when I say this mattress is worth every penny. Looks like it will last as well, good quality. Get it. You won’t be disappointed. My only issue is I keep thinking I should have paid the extra $50 and got the 12 inch over the 10 inch but it seems fine, I am a single guy 6’2″ 215 pounds. And my queen size sheets and mattress pad fit just right on the 10″.

   I kept seeing reviews about people saying “wow, what a sleep” or “I don’t know how I slept on my old bed” or “BEST SLEEP OF MY LIFE!” and I was like “yeah yeah… ok paid reviewer… sure sure!”

   Folks, I am here to tell you that they are in fact… 100 % correct!

   No shill BS here. I bought my bed with my own money and apart from this review now, Zinus doesn’t know I exist.

   This bed is honestly life changing. I have some big mental health issues I’m dealing with and the part of my day that I know I will truly have relief is knowing that I have this stupendous bed to recharge in. From a quick cat nap when I’m feeling low during the day to a SOLID 7 hours sleep at night… this bed is like a human-charger. I’m actually finding myself getting emotional because for so so soooo many years I’ve had a terrible night sleep. With my medical issues I have a lot of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and only getting a couple hours straight sleep at a time does NOT do anything to help those issues. This bed changed all that and I’m so grateful to have taken the plunge and purchased the bed.

   I see so many reviews of people pouring on and on about the best sleep but it’s true. For me at least, I came from a traditional pocket spring pillow top and box spring. I saw some reviewers say there’s an adjustment period when you come from a traditional bed to foam. I didn’t have that at all. Sure it felt strange with how little motion was transferred and how silent it was when rolling over, but there was no negative “oh jeez… this is going to take some getting used to” like I expected. I just layed down, and within minutes I was out like a light and stayed asleep all night. No mid-night awake for a bit and then hopefully right back to sleep. Just solid 7 hours in one shot.

   After 15 years my old bed had seen it’s best days and perhaps it was a part of why the sleep wasn’t good but looking back, I don’t think that I ever did get a great nights rest on it. It was plush and was decent compared to a non pillow top but this foam… omg…

   Ok I promised I wasn’t going to “wall of text” and just repeat what others have said but even after 2 nights sleeps on it, I know this is going to be a life long change in my life to always sleep on a bed like Zinus has here. Just buy it. It’s an amazing price (at least time of writing this review) and it arrives fast. There was no adjustment period and honestly no negative. My whole bed with platform frame, headboard and under-bed storage costed less than a middle of the road traditional matress alone. I will never go back to one. I’m now a convert.

   Enjoy your night!

   Thanks again Zinus for making this bed. Truly astounding quality and value. (ok now I sound like a commercial… I’ll stop)

   Cheers!
