Zinus 12 Inch Cloud Memory Foam Mattress, Queen, Fiberglass Free, Pressure Relieving, Mattress in A Box, CertiPUR-US Certified, White

I can't believe I've had this mattress since June of 2021... I discovered this as I'm currently shopping on Amazon for a new one as we're upgrading to a king bed and I needed to see what mattress we bought last time. Apparently I never left a review. So here are some thoughts on this mattress: First off, we are 5'7 and 5'10, approximately 120 and 180 lbs. Firmness rating is very subjective but I would personally says this is a medium firm bed. Between my partner and I we sleep in all the positions - back, side and stomach. This bed is comfortable in all positions but I wish it had a little bit more give for side sleeping. Do I wake up in pain? No. But when I go to sleep on my side I find myself shifting to try and get my shoulder comfortable. So I'm now looking for a slightly softer mattress (good luck to me). The bed offers great support for back and stomach sleeping. After over a year of use I will still fall asleep on my back and wake up in the exact same position feeling great in the morning. We did have a plush, 2 inch mattress topper in this for a few months to try it out and it did change the bed completely. This was nice, but neither of us loved it so we took it back off. The bed has held up great overall. We rotate it maybe once a month (maybe every 3... Who really remembers to do this). The very middle of the bed is slightly firmer than the sides where we each usually sleep but not a huge difference. Just slightly noticeable, not anything that impacts comfort. I am not a hot sleeper but my partner is and he often wakes up sweating with this mattress. If you sleep hot, this may not be a good mattress for you. I paid $350 for this when I purchased it and it was a great buy. No regrets. Update: I have replaced this mattress with a cooling gel king mattress and can definitely say this cooling gel foam sleeps much cooler. I am much colder at night on the new mattress, my body heat doesn't warm up the mattress as quickly and my partner (who sleeps hot) no longer wakes up sweating every night. Just something to note depending on how you sleep. As a cold sleeper I loved the old mattress, new mattress is a lil sad for me. But it's easier to warm up than to cool down when sleeping.

I don’t typically write reviews for things I like, or don’t like. If I take the time to write down my opinion it’s generally to complain about truly being disappointed or on rare occasions, like this one, truly amazed. Having my expectations exceeded is a rarity, one in which I’m willing to put my time and words to paper - or screen. This, this is one of those exceptional experiences- and I can’t believe it’s over a mattress of all things. Buying a mattress shouldn’t be hard, but it is. It’s made harder by today’s advertising and BS. We no longer know what the best way is to buy the thing we’ve bought our whole life. Are we being ripped off? The answer is of course yes; but how do we solve that? The answer in this case is Zinus. Perhaps embarrassingly, I put more research into my latest mattress purchase than I did my last car. Maybe because it’s such a personal purchase and one you live with for such a long period of time. What you sleep on, and how you sleep, matters. A decade ago I bought my last mattress. It was a good mattress. It was very expensive. It served me well… for a few years. I extended it’s life far past it’s usefulness by adding memory foam and padding and then again by telling myself it was sufficient, for years. After at least a year of restless nights which I attributed to other causes I finally admitted to myself I needed a new bed. What a pain, literally. This began my research into what to buy and from where. If you’re looking at a Zinus then you’ve undoubtedly looked at the other major players in this category. They’ve sprung up all in the last couple of years because of one major reason - mattress sales are a scam. Unfortunately, so are online mattress sales for the most part. After a lot of research which you can do in your own time using Google, nearly all these ‘online mattress companies’ are actually made in the same factory using nearly identical material. They all add in their own exclusive features but they are mostly the same. The major difference being the name on the box it’s shipped in. Zinus is considerably cheaper than the rest. It is nearly identical to the rest. It’s cheaper because they lower their markup. It really is that simple. The big players in this game pretend to offer a great deal but then markup their mattress by 300% or more. Ask yourself why they can afford to let you sleep on it for 3 months, then pay someone to come to your house and take it to the landfill if you don’t want to keep it. They would literally rather pay someone to throw it away than to take it back. That’s how inexpensive it is for them to make them. The markup is so much that their product becomes disposable. This doesn’t mean they are bad mattresses. In fact, all those name brand online retailers sell great mattresses, nearly identical to the Zinus. They are just incredibly overpriced. Now my review - my mattress rant is over. I hope some find it useful. I bought the ‘Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch / Premium / Ultra Plush / Cloud-like Mattress, King’. With it I also bought the platform bed from Zinus - also because of the incredible price and which I’ll also review. (spoiler, it’s fantastic) The mattress comes compressed in a box of course. That’s how it works. Unlike some other manufacturers it fully uncompresses and is ready for sleep on day 1. There is no chemical smell because it’s not treated with the same nasty chemicals that some other manufacturers put on theirs. I’ve read a lot of ‘explanations’ from the other makers as to why they fill theirs with chemicals, none of which are convincing. My guess, is so that they can sit in warehouses for years and not get moldy. This is without a doubt the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. If it’s comfortable to you will of course depend on what your definition of comfort is. Zinus makes several different mattresses in varying degrees of firmness. I just happened to luck out buying the right one for me the first time, I think. This one is firm, but giving. It’s the kind of mattress where I can roll around on one side and it doesn’t effect my partner on the other side. You don’t feel movement unless it’s right up against you. At the same time it gives slightly, making it very conforming to your body. One of the most important things to me as a person who is generally hot all the time is that it stay cool, and this does. I didn’t realize it until I got this mattress but I believe one of my issues for such a long time, was being hot. I get no heat from this mattress at all. As an example of just how comfortable this mattress is, having not slept in it yet, I also purchased a very expensive and beautiful down mattress topper along with very beautiful, thick, luxurious sheet set. Ultimately I ended up sending all that back because honestly sleeping on the mattress itself with no other bedding under me save a thin fitted sheet is unbelievably comfortable. You’ll want as little as possible between you and the mattress. I’m not sure what I can say that would be more complimentary than that. I’ve had the mattress for a few months now and it really has been life changing. Not in a ‘save the world’ kind of way - but it has saved my sleep. I sleep well, and for the first time in years. A good bed makes a good difference. I’ve been a tad evangelical about this review only because it’s made such a positive improvement in my life- and for far less money than the alternatives. A few tips: Put your mattress on a VERY firm surface. This isn’t your old traditional mattress, you do not want it on a bed springs. If you can’t buy a platform bed now, put it on the floor. Do not add a bed topper even though your experience with your old mattress may incline you otherwise. Sleep as close to the mattress as you can. No topper, thin sheets. If you don’t believe you can buy a great mattress for hundreds less, buy the more expensive ones first (I did). There is no risk in comparison. Those other brands let you send it back within 90 days at no cost. Buy it, send it back, then buy the Zinus and compare. You can also easily send this back. I’d be absolutely shocked if anyone says they went with the more expensive brand after a comparison. I’m glad you spent the time to read this review. Now, do your research, compare, and buy this mattress.

I wasn't sure about buying a mattress online, much less from Amazon. But because I was moving across the country leaving my furniture behind, I needed new mattresses that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I wanted a memory foam mattress not only for comfort but also because I wouldn't have to have a box spring. I also didn't want to pay a tremendous amount for the "original" memory foam mattress. So I did a lot of research, read many reviews and did a lot of price comparisons. I learned a lot about the different densities of foam types and how much foam was considered higher quality and increased comfort. I chose Zinus brand as a result. Having read previous reviews, I knew to expect the mattresses to be vacuum packed in much smaller rectangular boxes than what a regular mattress would be in. I also read that you should open the box in the room in which you want the mattress, and preferably where in the room you want it to be. It is a little clumsy to deal with, getting the mattress unpackaged. It comes in a sack with a drawstring, and I found it easiest to just cut or tear the sack open, rather than try to pull the sack off the mattress. Once that is off, the mattress is still vacuum packed but starts to unfold, so you have to be prepared to turn it right-side up. After opening the plastic, the mattress begins to re-inflate, and you have to get the plastic off. Easiest way is just to cut it off. It does take about 24 hours to completely re-inflate, though it seems pretty inflated after 8-10 hours. You really notice the difference after about a day. When about 8 hours had passed, it seemed like the corners were sunken, so I just grabbed the corner and pulled up on them, and several hours later they were the same as the rest of the mattress. This mattress is firm but not hard. I have back and neck problems, and was having chronic neck pain on my old mattress (which was only 5 years old and a very high quality). I didn't link the two issues until I got this mattress, and after having slept on this mattress now for almost a month, I am sleeping much better and my back and neck pain is significantly reduced. I also like to sit in bed and read, and I notice that the bed doesn't sink down a lot, which is good. I am not having to constantly push myself back up. In other words, it retains it shape better, though it also conforms to my shape. I am 5'10" and height-weight proportionate. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend this mattress and brand to others.

******************* UPDATE 6/20/2020: It's been a little over 2 years with this mattress. I still love it. (The dogs do too!!) It did take a few weeks after I bought it to get used to the memory foam. There was an adjustment period where I thought I had made a mistake buying it. Since then, I have recommended it to a few friends and am going to buy another one for the spare bedroom. Overall, I'm glad I didn't spend 2-3 times the price on a mattress from the mattress store. ******************** UPDATE 6/23/19: I've had this mattress for over a year now and I'm upgrading my review to 4 stars from 3 stars. It took me a while to get used to memory foam. Now that I am used to it, I LOVE IT!! My back no longer hurts. This mattress gives great support and is plush. I use it with my adjustable base. Between the mattress and the bed, I can sleep on my back and I wake up rested. It is still not the full 12 inches but, being small, I can live with it. Memory foam is hot. I do get night sweats and hot flashes and I live in Arizona. I ended up getting the Leggett & Platt Sleep Chill + Crystal Gel Mattress Protector with Cooling Fibers. That has helped a lot. Overall, I am pleased with this mattress. When I need a mattress for my spare bedroom, I will probably get another one of these. ******************** I needed to replace my Sealy Posturpedic pillowtop after 11 years. I was waking up aching all over. The mattress I was considering was $1800, with the adjustable base it would've been almost 5k. I did not want to spend that kind of money. I read the reviews online and decided to give this one a shot. I figured with 5000 reviews and a 4 star rating it was worth a shot. I bought this mattress in a king size on amazon along with The Classic Brands Adjustable bed. I've had the mattress and bed set up for over a month. They are better than my previous mattress and box spring. I'm not waking up in total pain. This is my first memory foam mattress. I'm getting used to that. I find the mattress comfortable when sleeping on my side or stomach. It's not as plush or comfortable when I sleep on my back but the adjustable base helps with that. Part of the reason could be that I weigh less than 120 pounds. Again, adjusting the base helps. If I had to sleep on a regular base or box spring, it would be uncomfortable on my back. Stomach and side sleeping would still be ok. I have found with memory foam there is outgassing, which is normal. This mattress has a slight odor but after a few days, it was gone. I had fans and an air purifier running so that may have helped. I bought a memory foam pillow which, after a month still had an odor and gave me a migraine. With this mattress, odor and a migraine was not an issue. The reason I'm deducting stars is because the mattress only reached 10 inches instead of the 12 inches and it's uneven on the corners and edges. It is the most comfortable in the middle and not on the edges. I can live with that since it's only me and the dogs. If the mattress was going to be used by a couple instead of a single person, that may be an issue. We'll see how long this will last. It is not as comfortable as the Serra iComfort I was considering but it was only $400 compared to $1800. Since I am unemployed and watching my budget, I can live with it. In the future, I'll upgrade to a little better memory foam mattress. If I get a year or 2 out of it, I'll be ok with that.

I just received this after months of deliberating. I will updated in a few months for progress. But for now.... these are my thoughts. You don't know willpower until... you force yourself up off the cloud, no the warm hug that soothes your whole body, that is your brand new memory foam mattress (Oh Yes I am talking about this puppy, the Zinus Memory foam 12 inch mattress) at the end of the day after.... - lugging that behemoth (all 80ish pounds of it) across the house, up the stairs, back across the 2nd floor, out of the box and then into place by yourself the night before. But also the same day you've been babywearing while chasing the other two toddlers, - after three days of the best sort of exhaustion from playing outside all day with the toddlers - and at least a year too of long sleeping on a crater that once was a top of the line interspring mattress. All to be productive before avoiding humanity for the next two days. Because you intend to sleep like the dead. All joking aside, this is absolutely the best purchase from Amazon ever! I was so worried I had spent 260 on a dud. But, it inflated immediately, and was fully fluffed by the next mornin. I fillowed the recomendations a x continued to let it rise the next day for a full 24hrs. It does not stink at all, I am very sensitive to smells and fragrances. I also sleep on my stomach. When I jumped on to test it in those first 24 hours, I inhaled deeply and there was the faintest whiff of a sort of sweetness. But barely. For those of you who care about unhealthy chemicals emmissions, this brand passes the ChemiPur test/certification! That was a big deciding factor for me. It also came an entire day early which means I get an entire weekend of restorative sleep before heading back into my demanding job on Monday. I never stop moving, lifting, chasing or climbing throughout my day and barely have time to sit. (Nanny to four under 3) So, if you have an active and physically demanding job this is the mattress for you. Seriously, as soon as you lay down your entire body relaxes immediately! Didn't really think that was possible. It is incredibly soft and luxurious!! But it is so supportive and firm. You sink in like your being hugged just enough that your entire body sighes, but you are completely supported the entire time. In every position. Like being cradled by your bed. It's amazing. I am honestly wondering if I'll sleep right through my alarm. ;-) I have my mattress on a solid metal and slated wood frame. But I plan to upgrade to the Zinus Diamond pattern bed frame cause it's stylish and I want it to complete the look in my room. It's really not as heavy or hard to maneuver as you might have been lead to believe. I'm a small human, a whole 5 feet *and* one whole inch tall. I'm also a woman, who is active but I'm not hitting any weights for leg day. Still, I was able to get it up a full flight of stairs and crisscross my house with it alone to get it set up.

UPDATED REVIEW I HATE this mattress. I don’t know if I just got a lemon but I’ll never be ordering another one to find out. I’ve tried it for over 6 weeks hoping it just needed to break in and it is still a slab. I think it’s even gotten harder since my first few nights sleeping on it. I would compare it to wet sand, sure it conforms a little from your body weight, buts it’s still very hard and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t even call this firm, it’s just straight up hard. My entire body hurts from trying to give this thing the benefit of the doubt, and I’m only 22!!! If you like extra firm mattresses or if you are heavier than the average person, this mattress might just be okay enough for you. As for someone that likes true PLUSH mattresses and likes to sink into them instead of laying on top of them, this isn’t for you. I’m so mad this thing was listed as extra plush. My carpet is more comfortable. Thank god for amazon’s excellent customer service. OLD REVIEW I had such high hopes for this mattress. I even had a full blown review written in my notes that I’ve been updating as the days go by, it started out super hyping this thing up but now not so much. The bottom line is, to me at least, I’ve had it for 8 days, have been trying to sleep on it for 5 nights, and this mattress just absolutely sucks. It is not plush at all like the specs say, and it’s certainly not cloud like as in the description. This thing isn’t just firm, it’s rock hard. It is easily the hardest mattress I’ve ever tried to sleep on. Both my boyfriend and I toss and turn all night from sore shoulders and backs. For reference, we’re both 5’5-5’6 and 140-150 lbs. When I first started laying on it after letting it air out for about 48 hours, the mattress did seem to conform to my body and actually was almost comfortable. Without a protector or sheets, the mattress still seems comfortable, however due to sanitary and warranty reasons, you shouldn’t sleep on your bare mattress. With the protector and sheet on, this mattress is just so hard and I can’t understand why this causes the difference. I considered it may be from the waterproof backing of the mattress cover, but the same thing happens with just a sheet. I’m really hoping this is just due to an adjustment period and maybe after a couple weeks it will soften up, however I really do not know. The answered questions section leads me to think this is just the way it will be. I can’t imagine this absolute slab of a mattress being soft, even though I’ve had really high hopes for it. I will come back and update this review if it softens up, as that would take it from a 2 star mattress to a 4-5 easily. If it doesn’t, then I really will be out the $290 and extra nights of lost sleep as I’m really not sleeping well and have pain from this. I wish returning was easier as I’d do that. I will give credit where credit is due though: this mattress seems really great quality honestly, if you like firm then maybe you would like this. Or maybe it just takes a little more time or maybe you should run laps on it. I really don’t know. Second, unboxing was really easy, I’m a small female and I accomplished it by myself. Third, smell? I read lots of reviews about how it smelled, and honestly, I’m even someone who is sensitive to scents and I could hardly smell this mattress without smashing my face into it. And even then, it just smells like a new product. Fourth, the pillow top like layer and the mattress cover are soft to the touch, the cover especially seems like good quality. Last, it really only took 2-3 hours for my mattress to puff up to the full 12 inches. So there are great things about this mattress, it is just way too firm and not at all plush like the description. Like I mentioned, I’ll come back and update if my feelings change. Cross your fingers for me that this slab softens up.

I read more reviews than I ever thought possible before taking the leap and purchasing this bed. I went to the bed "store" and was shocked by the prices....probably why I kept an uncomfortable bed for so long. I wish I hadn't waited to make this decision. This bed is AWESOME! I have been sleeping on it for about a month now. It came at a perfect time as I recently broke my wrist (dominant hand) and have been laid up at home. This bed has made it very easy to find comfort in an otherwise uncomfortable situation. I cannot compare it to other memory foam type beds other than I cannot see paying thousands of dollars for one. I cannot imagine any bed being that much more comfortable that would warrant the additional expense. Maybe it wont last as long, maybe it will. However, I could replace it 4 times before incurring the cost of one bed from a store. I'll keep this short, but want to comment and highlight a few things that might be helpful regarding this bed. I've seen that some of the reviews for the various bed sizes are combined so I want to be clear that my review and comments are in regards to the FULL SIZE, 12 INCH, PREMIUM, ULTRA PLUSH, CLOUD LIKE MATTRESS. I also purchased the 14 inch SmartBase for it. Firmness: After trying beds at the "store", I realized that a firm bed was for me. So, the comments of being too firm did not bother me. I am 5'1" about 117lbs. I don't make much of a dent, so I didn't want to sleep on a rock but I figured with a mattress cover it would be fine. The "pillow top" on this mattress is perfect. I don't find it overly firm at all. I still put a mattress cover on to protect it, but it did't really need one. SmartBase: Easy, perfect elevation, nice under storage. I did have to put some non-skid shelf liner under, just a small strip I had laying around, on the edge between the mattress and frame to keep it from sliding. Easy fix. Heat Factor: None. Really none. And I am a woman in my 50's...if you know what I mean. Bedding: I down sized from a queen to a full for space reasons and to reduce the cost.....just in case I moved it to the guest room if I didn't like it. So, I had to get new bedding, darn, shopping. If you get the full size bed/smartbase and you don't want a dust ruffle (which I despise), you should consider a King size quilt or bedspread. Anything smaller will not go to the floor on both sides. I guess it depends how much you care whether people see what you have under your bed or not.. I also purchased a full fitted, deep pocketed, sheet and a flat queen sheet. (BB&Beyond sells them separately) I did purchase an inexpensive set of full sheets initially, but found the flat sheet way to short to tuck in properly. I think this would have been the most helpful information to know ahead of time. Oh, and my bed came to the full 12 inches as promised. I will be purchasing another bed for my guest room in the near future. (As soon as I can get back to work!!) So, I guess that says it all. TRY THIS BED! Unless you are some sort of bed snob...I think you will be pleased.

*Edit: Almost 2 years later, my back and neck are really starting to hurt. I don't know if it has to do with my sleeping positions, the type of firmness of the mattress not suiting me, or even my age though I'd say I'm rather young still (25). My boyfriend says the comfort is still the same for him. :/ TLDR; Great mattress. Boyfriend sleeps well and I don't have back pains anymore. Hasn't loss fluff or sunk in after a month. 3 stars because quality in making could have been better. Was able to see the different layers of the mattress due to some corners sticking out more than others. I waited about a month to write this so I could give a better and more accurate review on how my sleep has changed since this new bed. Well first off, my old bed was broken on the inside apparently. It gave me such terrible back pains which lead me to want to buy a new mattress. Did some research and ordered this guy, mostly because it was the prettiest looking 12 inch mattress with a decent amount of good reviews. Shipment got delayed a day, I'm assuming because it was a large box but no biggie. When I received it, the box was a bit torn but the mattress itself seemed fine. Out of the box, my boyfriend and I didn't really understand how to unpack it so we just tore at the plastic. Only until then did we realize that the instructions were rolled up in the middle of the mattress where we couldn't easily see or access it lol. Gave it a good 72 hours to fluff up and I do wanna say, using a measuring tape, it did say that I only got about 10 inches or so which was a common issue that I read but when I had placed my mattress on the box spring and measured from the box spring to the top of the mattress, it did indeed say 12 inches then, so I do believe the other reviewers are possibly measuring too closely to the edge of the mattress. After the first nights sleep, first thing my boyfriend mentioned to me was that he felt refreshed and slept like a baby! He also has terrible back issues in general and since then, he hasn't brought up the issue as much as before. As for me, my back issues because of the old mattress are now gone. I no longer feel pain sitting or standing for extensive hours and I don't find myself needing to crack my back as much to relieve that pain. My boyfriend and I don't sleep on a particular side so we haven't seen any sinking in issues yet, and hopefully not any time soon. The ventilation of heat is also nice as well. Of course lying in the same spot will eventually get warm but it never caused me to sweat like the old mattress did with a foam topper. We both love the mattress very much but the reason that I had to give it a 3 stars was because I feel like the quality in the making of it wasn't very good. On a good note, my mattress never reeked of a plastic or chemical smell. However, after letting it fluff up, I was able to see the different layers of foam because they each were not aligned with each other. I first noticed that some corners of the bed stuck out a bit unevenly because of that while other corners might droop or seem empty. You can feel the misalignment on all 4 sides and it just makes the bed look unappealing but it's something that you definitely wouldn't notice unless you were trying to find flaws. Which I was lol. Also the information in the title is incorrect. I bought the mattress with the risk that it might be ultra plush by the title or firm as it was noted as in the description, which was what I was aiming for. Definitely got a firm one so I feel like I lucked out. If it weren't for the weird misalignment of the layers of the mattress I would have loved to give it 5 stars, I just wished it was as perfect as the one in the picture. This review already seems really long so I may or may not do a 6 month update review.

Tenía mis dudas sobre la calidad de este colchón. Y pensé que las reseñas eran exageradas, pero de verdad estoy fascinada esta super cómodo y el precio me parece excelente. Lo recibí en tiempo y en una caja que no parecía tener un colchón pero en u par de días el colchón tomó su forma y me encantó.

Son maravillosos descansamos muy bien son muy altos y comodos

Muy cómodo, ahora si a descansar

Muy bueno para el precio, comodidad y calidad. El único mal detalle es que guarda ub olor incomodisimo a humedad por semanas... Era de esperarse que se quitara paulatinamente pero si es muy incómodo al principio. Costo-Beneficio.

Muy bueno, aunque no subió los 30 centímetros que decía, no tengo ninguna otra queja
