ZINUS 14 Inch Cooling Comfort Support Hybrid Mattress [New Version], Queen, Fiberglass Free, Medium Plush, Cooling Motion Isolation, Certified Safe Foams & Fabric, Mattress in A Box

Wow. This Bed is Fantastic!
After 15 years, my memory foam mattress and its box spring were more than at the end of their lives and needed to be replaced. Buying a mattress is a very personal and expensive decision and with so many mattresses on the market of which most you can’t see or tryout physically because they are sold exclusively online, it is very difficult to determine which one is right for you — and if you have a sleeping partner, it makes it even more difficult to find one that will work for both.My husband has had both a hip replacement and lower back fusion surgeries and needless to say he is very suspicious of the mattress-in-a-box concept and was skeptical of all of the best options I found online. To complicate matters, his back situation makes it difficult for him to go to a local mattress store to try out options there, so it took us FOREVER to come to an agreement about what mattress to buy and where. I gave up after a month of off-and-on searching but then it happened — a particularly sleepless night on our old mattress with extreme back pain in the morning. That was the final straw. That nite forced us to get it in gear and make a final decision.We decided to try Zinus for three reasons: 1) the reviews online overall were great; 2) the company sold a sturdy platform foundation we could purchase separately so no box spring was needed; and, 3) the price for the mattress was incredibly reasonable for the options and features included. I have to say that we were still pretty skeptical about ordering a mattress online but figured if it turned out to be a big disappointment, we weren’t out that much cash (and neither of us could fathom how we’d ever get a big queen-sized mattress back into a small box for a return!)Our Zinus hybrid mattress took about a week to get here, but came as advertised. I will say that the outer box was really beat up and broken, but no damage to the packaging around the mattress itself, thank goodness! I set up the SmartBase foundation unit myself (really easy and fast) and managed to get the mattress onto the base with a little maneuvering (it was pretty heavy – you should have seen me struggling to get it up the stairs to the bedroom!) I unpacked it according to the directions and almost immediately it opened up to the 14″ height. Since the initial “roll out” I have not seen/felt any dips or collapsed spots as another reviewer experienced.All of this is very good and well but the real test is the sleep test. I NEVER look forward to having a new mattress because it always takes me at least a week of sleepless nights to break in one. In fact, I had readied the guest bedroom in anticipation of having to transfer over in case I found myself tossing and turning a night or two while getting use to the new Zinus. You know all of those reviews you’ve read about people claiming to wake up from the best sleep they’ve ever had or with no back pain whatsoever? Well, that has never been my experience, at least not for the first week of the breaking-in stage.Until now.Wow. This bed is fantastic! I am a back sleeper generally. This mattress provides complete support of my lower back as well as all other areas. No transfer of motion, no squeaks, and very easy to change positions, unlike some memory foam mattresses where you sink in and good luck getting out of the indentation you’ve made. The first night and every night has been a sound sleep experience for me. And yes, for the first time in forever, I get up and out with no back pain. (Thought I would never say that!) My husband with all of his back issues has said that his sleep has improved and while he will likely never be pain free in the morning, this mattress has drastically improved his sleep experience. I was concerned about some of the reviews stating that this particular Zinus mattress model we had ordered was too firm. However, I’m finding it to be just the right amount of support and comfort.I will update my review if I’m finding that the mattress is not performing as expected, but so far I am satisfied completely with my purchase. This experience has not taken the anxiety out of purchasing a mattress online for me totally, but I feel fortunate this purchase worked out well.

Nice mattress, maybe too firm for side sleepers
I have waited for a couple of years since purchasing to write my review! Mattresses need time…For the price, I would say this is a good mattress. It has worn well, not dipping or sagging anywhere.My husband and I are two not-small people sleeping on a queen and I never feel him move. If I put a cup of coffee on a tray, beside me on the mattress, I can move around without worrying about spilling the coffee. I think that”s pretty impressive, at this price point.The mattress is slightly too short for our standard queen frame, I dont know what thats about.But over the years I have developed hip pain, not my joints but on the pressure points on the outside of my hips. I finally realized, that it is because of the mattress. It is on the firm side. I sink into it enough that my waste feels supported but the pressure points in my hips are constantly sore. I usually end up on my back and then I wake up.I will say however, that I have no lower back pain. I have slept on memory foam mattresses that just immediately kill my back. This mattress is really nice on the back.I am also hot all night. I don’t know if the mattress is to blame but I noticed someone else saying it was HOT and I think maybe it is.So pros: Great price, no partner movement, even in a small bed, no sagging – seems to be aging really nicely.Cons: a little bit too firm (if you are a side sleeper) and seems hot to sleep on.

I LOVE this mattress. My partner and I have been using the king size for a month now so I figured it was time to review! I tried to be as detailed as possible but I did put headings to make this a bit easier to read.Item Purchased:Brand: ZinusSize: KingHeight: 10”Type: Hybrid (memory foam and pocket coil springs)Special feature: Green tea cooling gelWho’s Using the Product?-Me (a plus-sized woman with chronic pain in her mid-thirties)-My fiancé (a slim man in good health in his mid-thirties)Price & Value:Extraordinary. The value for the money here is incredible. I’ve used mattresses that are easily quadruple the price that I could barely use – I presumed it was my chronic pain but nope, they were just bad mattresses. We’ll be replacing our spare bed with a Zinus mattress soon because they’re so good.Delivery, Packaging, and Setup:The mattress arrived in an impressively compact box that was relatively heavy but still easy enough to manage. If you have to go up a lot of stairs, it might be a good idea to have two people to carry it, but I was able to wrangle it myself. The box was easy to open and the mattress unrolled nicely on its own.There was no off-gassing or unpleasant smell for the 72 hours we left the mattress out to finish expanding, which was a pleasant surprise – I’m very sensitive to those smells and had planned on leaving the house with windows open but I could be in the same room with no issues.The mattress was mostly done expanding in under 24 hours, but since we had the space we figured we’d leave the mattress out for the full 72 hours. It did firm up a bit more during that time.Using the Mattress:This mattress was a dream from the first night. It doesn’t need any breaking-in period, as it arrives already in the perfect condition: soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to be supportive.I am a plus-sized person with chronic pain, and this mattress gave me the first pain-free sleep I’ve had in years.What really made a difference for me is that the support spreads out evenly along my body. Previous mattresses would cause pain because I’d only get support on a few contact points (hips, shoulders, knees) and wake up in pain from the intense pressure.But with this Zinus mattress, I have zero pain from those contact points, and also don’t have to spend a ton of time setting up special support pillows – the mattress just somehow supports my body in the way I need it to.My fiancé, who is of average weight and experiences very occasional mild neck and back pain, noted immediately that he was also much more comfortable with this mattress. He previously couldn’t sleep longer than about 6-7 hours without being stiff and sore all over when he got up (which he had just chalked up to getting older), but on this new mattress, he can sleep 8+ hours with no pain at all in the morning.The quality and comfort this mattress provides is exceptional – the fact that one mattress somehow fulfills the comfort and support needs for two people with very different body types is some kind of mattress miracle!Hybrid Structure (Memory Foam + Pocket Coils):The hybrid structure is probably what makes this mattress such a good fit for me and my fiancé. Memory foam is great but can often be too hard or too soft, and pocket coils can put pressure in the wrong places. When combined, though, the memory foam and pocket coils are perfect. Highly recommend a hybrid mattress!“Cooling Gel” Feature:We’ve been using the mattress without a cover to see if the cooling gel made a difference, and it’s hard to say if it has or not. I’m a very hot sleeper and prone to night sweats, and while I’ve been cooler at night lately, this coincides with me being able to make the bedroom cooler in general (as temps outside drop and I can open windows, etc.)I can say it isn’t making me any hotter than any other mattress, though! And the cooling gel may be helping (I suspect it is a little bit) but it’s not a miracle cure for hot sleepers.(Now that we’ve trialed the cooling gel featured we’ll be placing a cover over the mattress now – I will update if that changes anything!)Longevity:As it’s only been a month, I can’t speak to the longevity of the mattress, but I will update as time goes on!Negatives:None that I can really think of! I do worry that maybe the mattress will wear out sooner than others, especially because I’m a bigger person, but I have no real reason to think that it will.Overall Impression:This mattress is fantastic. If you’re on the fence, *buy this mattress*. The price and ease of return is what made me finally purchase and I’m so glad I did. I would happily purchase again (and plan to do so for our spare bedroom!).!

I bought this bed a month ago and I couldn’t be happier. It was easy to put together, the instructions were clear, and all the parts arrived in perfect condition. From the first night, it felt supportive yet comfortable—just right for a good night’s sleep. The design is modern and the materials seem built to last. It’s definitely improved my sleep quality.

Mattress is comfortable medium hardness, was delivered promptly, arrived in good condition, was easy to setup. It has only been a week or so but will comment again in the future whether good or bad.
