Zinus Green Tea Review

Rating: 6.0
Verified
Buy Zinus
The Zinus Green Tea mattress is a 12-inch memory foam mattress with a medium-firm feel, rated 6 out of 10. It is priced at $249 for a queen size but has received a low overall performance score of 6.68, placing it in the bottom 2% of mattresses tested by NapLab. The mattress has fair cooling performance, minimal sinkage, and good motion transfer absorption. However, it has a slow response time, low bounce, poor edge support, and struggles with pressure relief. Initial off-gassing was strong and lasted about 7 days. The mattress is constructed from three layers of foam and has been criticized for its poor quality and comfort. Zinus offers a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty, but the company has received criticism for its trustworthiness and customer service. Overall, the mattress is not recommended due to its poor performance and low-quality materials.
