Zinus 12 Inch Full 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

Hands down one of the best mattress I’ve purchased. I have ordered plenty of mattress from Amazon and this is the only brand that’s holds up so well. It comes in a vacuum bag but once open it inflates quick. I usually let it inflate for half a day and it’s ready to sleep on but end up night. Super thick and soft. Love that it doesn’t have springs and keeps body cool throughout night. They usually have a sale on this mattress once in a while although it’s highly worth the money you’re spending. I even have three of these in difference sizes in my home.

I feel like this product deserves a review. I honestly was very skeptical at first about purchasing this mattress being cheaper. I think we sometimes believe we need to pay $1000s of dollars on items in order to get good quality. I heard about this mattress through a VRBO we had stayed at. I had reached out to the owner inquiring about the mattress and he said it was the Zinus 12” mattress. I did pay attention to the reviews and noticed a lot of positive feedback, so I decided to go out on a whim and purchase it. After sleeping on it for a month now, I can tell a difference in not only my sleeping quality but decreased back pain. It arrived in a box which was super simple to pull out. We laid it out on the floor for 24 hours to air out and expand. It was way lighter than our old mattress which was a plus for me. It didn’t have a weird smell. It fit perfectly on our bed frame with box springs. When my husband moves around at night, I can barely feel it. I feel like it supports my spine very well. I have back pain and scoliosis. I’m actually impressed for the amount of money and really not out anything if it doesn’t hold up. I’m interested to see how long the mattress will last before needing replaced. It is a little more on the firmer side but a mattress topper could help alleviate that. The mattress seems pretty durable and the height of the matters fit perfectly. I would recommend this mattress.

I decided to replace my existing 12-inch thick King-sized Sersper (also memory foam, mattress-in-a-box) mattress with this Zinus 12-inch King Green Tea Memory Foam mattress, after sleeping on one at a AirBNB rental. Why? Because the Sersper mattress, which was advertised to be medium-firm, just like this one, was NOT medium-firm. Both my wife and I would sink into the mattress...and I had to add several toppers to the mattress to firm it up properly. Even then, if you sat up on the mattress or sat on the side of it, it would sink considerably, almost flatten when someone would sit on the side of it. The Zinus mattress was FAR more supportive, and much more firm. My wife and I could lay on it and not sink into the mattress...this was what I had hoped my other memory foam (Sersper) mattress would provide, but it simply did not. It's worth noting that the Sersper mattress cost more than twice as much. Into the trash it went. When it comes to memory foam mattress-in-a-box, more expensive does NOT mean better quality or support. If a mattress has the word "firm" anywhere associated with it...a human body, regardless of weight or size, should NOT sink into the mattress, beyond the small contours for hips, elbows, and pressure points. The only difference between a firm/medium firm mattress and a hard floor should be the ever-so slight cushioning the mattress provides to allow some contouring to the body. Firmer mattresses are better for supporting the lower back, as nothing will wreck your back faster than a sagging mattress. I'm a rather avg-sized guy, 5'10 180 lbs, there's no reason I should be sinking into a memory foam mattress, period, unless it's some sort of plush/soft sort of deal with no back support whatsoever. If the mattress causes any pressure-point soreness, add a latex egg-shell topper, they're worth their weight in gold. Zinus memory foam mattresses are some of the firmest available...compared to Nectar, Sersper, and others, there's far less "sinkage" when laying on Zinus mattresses. If you don't like your mattress to be firm, look at other brands, such as Nectar, which cost 3-4x as much, and allow more "sinking" into the mattress. The Zinus mattresses are nice and firm...you'll find that most reviews make note of this. The reviewers complaining about sinking in are either reviewing the wrong mattress, or weigh over 500 lbs.

The mattress I needed to replace was no longer available on Amazon, but this one looked to have a similar construction. I do enjoy a soft mattress as it helps my hips, which seem to have issues staying in place. A firm mattress causes me hip pain. I will say that I have slept very well with this mattress, and I'm not waking up with pain in the middle of the night. While I do get good sleep, this foam allows the largest dent I have ever experienced in a memory foam before. My body gets absorbed by the mattress with a 2"-3" divot. I have to exert great amounts of abdominal strength to hurl myself out of bed, which is easier in the morning and not so easy in the middle of the night when I need to relieve my bladder. Since this is so soft, it is terrible to sit up for lengthy periods of time. I generally enjoy watching TV from bed before hitting the pillow for a night's slumber, but I find sitting on this bed to be painful. The foam just sinks deeper and deeper, and my body is fighting to sit, which then causes me hip pain. This bed is hot! It reflects the body and causes me to feel overheated in the middle of the night. Throwing covers off me helps, but it causes this effect where I feel hot where my body is touching the mattress and cool on top because I don't have covers. I would not purchase this again but it will suffice until I need a new matress.

I bought this new version of the ZINUS 12-inch Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress, and it has completely transformed my sleep quality. In fact, I am so impressed with the comfort and engineering that I am already purchasing a second one for our guest bedroom! Perfect Balance of Support and Comfort The medium-firm rating is absolutely spot on. It provides a solid, supportive alignment for your spine while still contouring beautifully to your shoulders and hips. The memory foam cradles your pressure points perfectly, giving you that luxurious "sleeping on a cloud" sensation without making you feel trapped or stuck in the bed. Cool, Fresh, and Clean The green tea and charcoal infusion is a total game-changer. It keeps the mattress smelling completely fresh right out of the box and actively prevents any stale odors from building up over time. It also breathes incredibly well, keeping me cool and comfortable throughout the entire night. Fiberglass-Free Peace of Mind The absolute best part about this upgraded version is the 100% fiberglass-free construction. Knowing that the mattress is built with safe, premium materials means I can sleep with total peace of mind regarding my family's health and home safety. Zero Motion Transfer The isolation on this foam layer is flawless. If you sleep with a partner or pets, you will completely forget they are there—there is absolutely zero motion transfer when someone shifts or rolls over during the night. It unboxed easily, expanded to its full 12 inches incredibly fast, and looks beautiful on the frame. For the price, the quality is completely unmatched. If you are looking for a safe, supportive, and luxurious upgrade, this mattress is worth every single penny!

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’m NEVER going back to a traditional Mattress and this is why. I’m a mother of 5 going on 6 kids. We have a strict budget. I’ve struggled to find a good mattress that’s affordable for literally years!! I’ve tried all sorts of toppers that cost me an arm and a leg. I’ve spent good money on expensive traditional mattress’s. Until last year, I broke my back in a horse riding accident, in 4 different places, I’ve been having a hard time sleeping ever since. My back is never happy, doesn’t matter what I sleep on I always wake up in pain. I spent the night at my sister’s one night, and I couldn’t get over how comfortable her mattress was. She said it was just a cheap mattress from Amazon. I was like what! So I started looking into the “bed in a box” and I bought this one. And when I tell you that this mattress is the BEST mattress, I mean it! It’s soft but firm, it shapes to your body, you feel supported yet comfortable, I slept like a BABY last night! And I didn’t even have to wait for it to inflate, it just puffed up as soon as I opened the package. Quality is everything to me, and this is GOOD quality. I got the 12 inch king, only because I’ve never tried these beds before, and since they are basically foam and air I wanted the maximum thickness to prevent it from flattening. But this mattress is STRONG, it feels like a magic trick, and I loved the experience of unboxing. We threw it on a platform bed frame I bought, and BAM! My life is changed forever. I bought 3 twin sizes for my kids too of a different brand. Those ones are great too, but took longer to inflate. This one was even better. We ALL love our beds in a box. I can’t wrap my head around all the wasted money on traditional mattress’s and fancy toppers over the years. Not only that! It was so convenient to haul in my car, just a box. Not this awkward big mattress that needed a truck, no you can fit this box in the trunk of your car. Which is also very convenient, because I live a ways out of town and I get my Amazon packages delivered to a friends house. So when I brought this home it was soooo convenient. I’m so thankful and blessed that I get to have good sleeps now. Which is literally everything when you’re a mom like me, with a back injury. I can’t shut up about it, I feel like I have hope for good rest, and that means everything to me! It’s horrible living with chronic pain and constant fatigue from terrible sleeps. I could cry I’m so happy. Please if your like me! Consider it. It’s worth every penny. And I don’t get anything out of writing this review other than just hoping that someone else can find relief too! Sleep is so important. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk! lol

Exactly as described. I bought this to replace a 10 year old Temperpedic, and I’m impressed with it. Comfortable, nice quality, and expanded to the full size. No chemical off gassing that I noticed. I would recommend this.

I am really impressed with the product. Itself so far, but it hasn't even been a full month yet. I find it to hold up really well, and it does sink in slightly which supports your body. But it's also very firm, which I appreciate too I have a really bad back and I have chronic pain a lot, my husband however Thinks it's a little bit too hard. I think it's just perfect. It expanded the way it was supposed to, and it's 14 tall, just like it's supposed to be. But I did wait 72 hours before we slept on it. The shipping sucked for the first time. I ordered, and it never showed up. So I had to have a replacement scent. I don't really have many complaints about the bed. Itself so far, but I will update in the future. I find this to be a good quality bed for the price. It saved me from having to spend 3000 or more. On a so-called higher quality brand name bed.

I’m really happy with this mattress! It’s perfect if you truly want quality and comfort. The mattress feels very premium, and the packaging is excellent. It doesn’t have any springs and uses memory foam, which makes it even more comfortable. If you’re looking for a nice, soft, and supportive mattress, this is definitely the one to go for!

This mattress is advertised as medium-firm. I purchased the 12" version as I have previously purchased the 6" version and loved the firmness. everyone who has slept on the 6" mattress says it's the best sleep theyve ever had. The 12" version has come up short. It's so soft. when you sit on it it sinks quite significantly. the impression from my body stays in the bed for a while after I get up. I am so disappointed in this bed especially considering my previous experience with Zinus was so fantastic. I did not find the smell bad, but I also just had new carpet installed so my house smells like new carpet. I would describe the firmness of this bed as "extra soft" not medium firm.
