Good for the pricePros – Affordable, super comfortable even by itself on a hardwood floorCons – when it got packaged, the sealed the bag too tight. So some of the gel and foam deformed, and never expanded completelyOverall – good value for the money.

3 years later – still love itI bought this mattress 3 years ago and I still love it. Yes it’s true it does get warm when you sleep, but that is perfect for me because I’m always cold. When I first bought it, I am pretty sure I gave it a full 72 hours to decompress before sleeping on it when I unpacked it. Maybe that helped too.

Helped with my neck painThis mattress is the perfect balance of soft, but not too squishy. I’ve struggled with neck pain exacerbated by sleep for a few years now, and this mattress is the first to have ever allowed me to wake up with zero neck pain.

It opened up nicely and fast.. Easy Breezy.Wanted to upload photo but nothing is loading anyway I have herniated discs and usually wake up w a stiff back however the week I’ve slept on this I notice that I sleep better and I’m not discomforted when I get up out of this bed.. it’s a little firm but you can feel the foam I think it works for the back so it can’t be too soft for the lumbar. I like it.. no box spring is necessary.

Not for Fans of “Squishy” Mattresses- But…..My wife and I were looking to replace our 18 year old pillow top mattress that had basically become two foxholes. We had never slept on a “memory foam” mattress before, and figured we would try an “off brand”…. the logic was I would rather make a $300 mistake than a $3000 one.Our ZINUS arrived just as scheduled, and I expected 3-4 days for it to “inflate” based on some reviews, but ours was fully ready after only 36 hours. Unboxing was perfect…there are no funny smells or any indication of any kind of mysterious “fibers” that might infiltrate our lungs as I read on a few hater reviews- the mattress is actually in a cover that would prevent this, even if it were true. I think most of those are hired reviews from competitors. As always, I ignore most 1 and 2 star reviews for products.One of the few things my wife and I agree on is wanting a soft mattress, haha. One of the drawbacks of ZINUS, at least on Amazon, is you can’t pick a firmness level. Most of the solid reviews were mixed about the relative firmness of this mattress. So, for clarification, if in reality all of the ones shipped from Amazon are the same, this mattress is “pretty firm”. It is not like sleeping on a piece of plywood by any stretch, but it is not going to swallow you up in plushness. After 3 nights, my wife’s comment was it doesn’t “snuggle me” like I want. For me, I am sleeping about the same on it as our old mattress… not particularly well, but certainly no worse. The upside is I no longer feel like I have to roll uphill to change sleeping positions.SO, the bottom line is, again, assuming all of the ZINUS mattresses that ship from AMZ are the same firmness, if you are “right in the middle” of soft and hard, this mattress will be perfect for you. I am super impressed with the quality of the ZINUS, and was pleasantly surprised how quickly it was ready to sleep on. We just ordered a SensorPEDIC iCOOL 1.5 inch topper for it, and if that does the trick to get a little “squishy” feel, I will update. If it does, we will be “all in” for $400, instead of laying out 3K for a national brand. Overall, ignore the hater reviews…the mattress is excellent quality, and it is a difficult space to be “perfect” for everyone since we all like different feels in our mattresses. If ZINUS does offer various firmness options, they should offer them on Amazon.

4th year update: still love it!This review is for the 10″ Queen version of the ZInus Ultimate Comfort mattress.I chose this particular model for several reasons. First, it is manufactured by Zinus. Now, Zinus does not have the name recognition of Tempur-Pedic, nor the same high-end reputation, or prices. Various Amazon sellers sell at on of assorted Zinus mattresses under a bunch of names, and they mostly get very good reviews. This model, a 10″ Queen featuring 3 inches of memorey foam over “2 inches Pressure Relieving Comfort Foam,” on top of 5 inches of higher-density base foam, appears to be identical to other brands that receive 4+ star ratings over numerous sales here. Add to this the fact that this particular listing was both shipped by and sold by Amazon, and I felt I couldn’t go wrong. And, of course, my innerspring mattress was 15 years old and needed to replaced.I received the mattress only today, and have only slept on it for a few hours, and will update this after a few weeks and maybe later. Prime 2-day shipping didn’t fail me, and the 65 lb box was dropped right next to my house by FedEx. I handled the box fine myself but it was a little bigger than expected and without any handles, and a lot of people will definitely need help to move it up any stairs, if not move it all. Neatly packed, nothing extra, no cushioning needed.Some reviews of memory foam mattresses led me to believe they can take 24-48 hours to fully expand from their compressed shipping state. Others caution you to have the mattress at least near where you will ultimately sleep on it before you unwrap it. The second bit of advice is definitely worth mentioning; mine expanded and unfolded rapidly, reaching near-full dimensions in seconds. After wrestling it of the floor (I should have opened the plastic with it on the platform), I measured its height at 9 inches. Two hours later I found it a full 10 inches high. It is also a full 60 x 80, unlike many mattresses on Amazon that are undersized at 58 x 78 inches. That is a big deal to me – I want all of the 80 inch length a proper queen mattress provides, and filling out standard sheets without them being loose or baggy is a must.I have not had a full night’s sleep as of this review, but I did take a quick nap, which turned into a very long nap. It is comfortable. This mattress cradles me enough, yet is still firm enough to be supportive. Time will tell, but my initial impressions of this mattress are that it will be great to sleep on, and that it is a real bargain.Update after 3.5 years: I love this mattress! I had concerns about the durability of a $230 mattress, but it is still perfectly comfortable and is holding up well. It is certainly on the firmer side, which was what I had hoped for, though it is soft enough to cushion my 190+ pound self very well. I’ve noticed none of the problems some reviewers mention: it doesn’t “sleep hot,” there was no off-gassing or strong smell, and the cover is just fine.I have no regrets about buying this mattress. When considering how much money I saved on it, it’s easy to think maybe I should go ahead and replace it since it’s been more than worth the price and is a few years old now. But it still shows little wear and looks like it should be fine for several more years. Note that sheets made for taller mattresses are commonly available these days, and sheets designed for a 14″ mattress will fit loosely, but that’s not this mattress’s fault – it’s solid (enough).

Best purchase I’ve ever made on Amazon!!After watching a CBC marketplace revealing the high price markups, misleading advertising on mattress technology, the bogus sleep/health claims made by mattress companies, and that most mattresses are just fundamentally the same, we took a risk buying a bed online. We never saw the mattress or bed frame in person, and never tested them in real life before making this purchase. Neither the bed frame or mattress was recommended to us by friends; nobody we knew had tried this company before. We actually heard about Zinus products on Reddit of all places, and spent some time browsing the Amazon reviews before taking a deep breath and rolling the dice. After having this bed setup now for a month, I think I can give an honest review.Motion:This is a FOAM mattress, so no springs or coils. You don’t bounce well if you jump on this bed, but that means when you get up at midnight to pee or if you’re on overnight call for work, your partner won’t feel you getting in and out of bed so you don’t wake them.Also, the mattress covering isn’t too slippery, so the corners of my bedsheets never spring loose and fly off. It’s nice to wake up and not be tangled in a bottom fitted sheet that escaped in the night!Noise:Silent! Foam mattress means there’s no metal crunching or creaking!Comfort:It’s not like sinking into a basket of feathers, there’s a bit of firmness to it when you first lie down that softens up and shapes to your body within a minute or two. It’s not so firm that it’s uncomfortable though, and you can always purchase fluffy mattress pads for $100-$300 if you prefer something softer. I find it firm enough to give good lumbar spine support while soft enough to prevent pressure points, so you don’t feel stiff or achy in the mornings. It’s a great sleep!Height:I was worried about this bed being too low to the ground because it doesn’t need a box spring, but it is actually taller than my old bed. Mattress and frame together are 24 inches high.Assembly:Easy peasy. Had it together in 15 minutes or so. Not like IKEA furniture! Promise!Price:Can’t be beat!Mattress was the 10 inch thick King for $370.The king sized “Zinus Essential Upholstered Platform Bed Frame” was $235.Boxspring not needed and delivery free, so for a grand total of $605 we had a king size bed delivered right to our front door!Compare this to the store prices for a king mattress near us – $1500!! Not including the frame, boxspring, or delivery! I figured if I buy a bed online and it’s not comfy, I could always buy a $300 mattress pad to make it more soft or firm to my liking, and I’d still be saving money than if I bought in a store. But turns out, a mattress pad wasn’t needed at all!Temperature Control:Foam mattresses do tend to get warmer than interspring mattresses; I don’t personally find a heat/temperature/moisture difference between this mattress and our old coil one, but YMMV.Durability:It’s only been one month so too soon to tell, but so far so good. No sagging, still provides great support,Overall:Yes, it was nerve wracking to buy a bed online. But this one was so totally worth it. I’m now recommending this mattress to my friends and family and will definitely purchase again for our spare bedroom!Hope this info helps you make your mattress shopping a little easier 🙂

Loving itThis mattress is really amazing. Unpacked easily, let it rise for half a day and slept on it the first night. They say its encouraged actually to sleep on it even if it hasn’t been the full 72 hours or so. If your lower back hurts like mine because a soft mattress doesn’t hold your pelvis flat and promotes the lumbar curvature, well this firm mattress will fix it. First nights sleep woke up will almost no lower back pain. My wife LOVES It as well.

Good mattress for the priceTop memory foam layer lost some of its firmness after a short while and now sink easier in that top layer and so feel the stiffness of the underlying layers more readily than at first. But since I don’t mind a harder mattress it’s OK but for other people it might be too hard.
