CertiPUR-US certified and free from ozone depleters, flame retardants, mercury, lead formaldehyde or phthalates – it makes an excellent addition to any bedroom!
Zinus Green Tea mattress provides optimal pressure relief to areas such as hips and shoulders, while sleeping cool due to its gel-infused memory foam construction.
Features
The Zinus Green Tea Mattress is made up of memory foam, poly foam and non-removable polyester cover – and boasts various thickness options at an extremely reasonable price point. Furthermore, its motion isolation properties make it an excellent choice for couples sharing beds.
The top layer is comprised of soft, gel-infused memory foam that conforms to your body and relieves pressure from hips and shoulders. A layer of polyfoam provides transitional feel while preventing too much sinkage into memory foam below. Finally, high density foam provides structure to this mattress for long-term durability.
Zinus Green Tea mattresses are CertiPUR-US certified, which means they are free from harmful ozone depleters, flame retardants, mercury, lead and formaldehyde – making them suitable for sleepers of all ages and sizes, such as babies and children.
Memory foam tends to trap heat in specific areas of the body, which could present problems for those prone to overheating during sleep. Furthermore, its soft profile may not provide sufficient support for back sleepers while stomach sleepers require firmer surfaces so as to prevent sinkage of their stomach and subsequent lower back pain.
Materials
The Zinus Green Tea Mattress features a blend of memory foam, polyfoam transitional layers and high-density support core for an affordable yet quality night’s rest. The 12-inch model includes three inches of gel memory foam for pressure relief and body contouring as well as dissipating body heat while regulating temperature, followed by two inches of firm transitional polyfoam to add firmness while serving as a buffer between soft top layers.
The company uses CertiPUR-US certified materials that are free from formaldehyde and other ozone depleting substances, with foams infused with green tea extract and charcoal to help reduce off-gassing while creating an aromatic experience. Their mattress can be used with any box spring, platform bed frame, slatted base or bunkie board and set up easily on any flat surface – ideal for both children and adults!
This mattress is ideal for lightweight sleepers as its lightweight build prevents it from compressing too much, while offering good edge support and motion isolation, as well as being suitable for couples who share one sleeping space. Unfortunately, however, heavier sleepers or those experiencing back pain may not find enough lumbar support – something which could pose problems for co-sleepers who move frequently during their restful slumbers.
Firmness
The base layer consists of high-density foam which offers structure, edge support and long-term durability while helping regulate body temperature. Next comes “Comfort Foam,” made up of soft gel memory foam which conforms to your body while relieving pressure points for an all-around plush feel.
At this stage, there is a 2 inch transitional poly foam layer design to prevent you from sinking too far into the firmer base below. This layer should cradle your hips and shoulders while simultaneously aligning your spine; however, for heavier sleepers this may not provide sufficient support.
Lighter sleepers will likely also find this mattress comfortable. Its layers have been specifically tailor to provide ample support for an average-weight sleeper, keeping hips from sinking while keeping spine in an ideal position. Heavy sleepers may push through its layers quickly and experience sinkage.
The Zinus Green Tea Mattress is relatively responsive to movement, but lacks much bounce – an issue for couples that switch positions frequently during the night or people with mobility issues. Furthermore, this mattress does not contour very well so may not suit stomach sleepers who require firmer surfaces in order to prevent stomach sinkage.
Cost
The Zinus Cooling Essential Foam Mattress is an ideal choice for lightweight sleepers. Featuring multi-layered memory foam to provide pressure relief and body contouring while its gel infusion dissipates heat efficiently. Furthermore, this mattress boasts superior edge support as well as its soft quilted cover – plus four sizes to choose from: twin, queen and king!
The primary comfort layer consists of 3″ of cooling gel memory foam for pressure relief and contouring while still allowing sleepers to move freely on the bed. It comes complete with a silky poly jacquard cover. Transition and base support layers comprise of 3.5″ high-density foam are aerate to dissipate heat while maintaining structure.
Zinus mattress works best for average-weight back and side sleepers as well as light to medium weight stomach sleepers who prefer firmer mattresses. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for heavyweight sleepers who may feel trapped by its firmness; therefore they should opt for heavier-weight models or ones featuring coils instead. In any event, there is a 100-night trial available so they can test out this mattress first before making their decision and if unhappy Zinus will give a full refund during that time frame.
