Zoma Start Review

Rating: 7.2
Verified
Buy Zoma
The Zoma Start mattress is a budget-friendly, all-foam mattress designed for various sleeping positions, particularly for sleepers under 250 lbs. It has a medium-firm feel and is priced at $599 for a queen size. The mattress excels in edge support, response time, and sex performance but has some drawbacks in motion transfer and pressure relief for heavier sleepers. It features a 10-inch profile with a gel memory foam comfort layer, a support foam layer, and a breathable cover. While it offers good cooling and significant savings, it may not be ideal for those needing exceptional pressure relief or cooling. The trial period is shorter than average at 100 nights.
