In addition, all-foam mattresses are more likely to sleep hot, and some of our reviewers noticed that they overheated at night when sleeping on the Zinus Green Team Memory Foam mattress. They slept on it in a basement room that started off cool, and a few were surprised by how warm they felt in the middle of the night. Our motion transfer score basically tells you how well a mattress prevents movement on one side of the bed from disrupting the other side. It’s really important if you’re a light sleeper who shares the bed with a partner or pet. The Zinus Green Tea mattress earned a near perfect score for motion transfer . If you plan to sleep with a partner, chances are you won’t feel them getting up or moving around. It's worth noting that the 10-inch Zinus Green Tea mattress can support a weight of up to 500lbs. When using this mattress in a guest room, we felt at ease that no matter the weight of our guests, they would find it comfortable and supportive - and they did. While we can’t speak to how supportive the mattress is for people or couples that total over 500lbs and are sleeping in it nightly for years on end, we can confirm that our reviewers of all different sizes said they found the mattress to be very supportive. Zinus Green Tea mattress: What we didn't like If you’re on a tight budget with your main bed or need a comfortable yet cheap mattress for your guest room, the Zinus is a great choice for the majority of people and scenarios. It’s affordable yet still manages to deliver high levels of support and comfort. It won't come close to the luxury feel of a premium hybrid such as the Saatva Classic (read our Saatva Classic mattress review of America's highest-rated bed), but it's a good choice for not much money.

However, if you prefer a softer mattress, or suffer from over-heating at night, we wouldn't advise it. You could try the hybrid, entry-level Allswell mattress instead, which comes closest to the Zinus on price. However, for a little more money, we highly recommend the Cocoon by Sealy Chill for any hot sleepers who love the feel of memory foam. And if you can stretch your budget to the luxury Saatva Classic - which comes in three different firmness levels and two different heights - you'll get a premium mattress with top temperature regulation, outstanding edge support and a little more bounce. All Zinus customers get a 100-night sleep trial , which enables you to get the feel of your new bed in the comfort of your own home—much better than in a big box store under fluorescent lighting! One hundred nights is a standard mattress trial period. This is your opportunity to test out features like pressure relief , firmness level , and temperature to determine whether or not it’s the best mattress for your sleep needs. The good thing about memory foam is that motion transfer is typically minimized because you don’t have the same bounce that you get from the coils in an innerspring mattress, and that was the case here. We didn't notice any motion transfer when sleeping on the 10-inch Zinus Green Tea mattress, and think it's a good choice for couples - you shouldn’t feel your partner getting in and out of bed, or notice if a small dog or feline hops in. However, this feature of foam also makes it harder to change position at night than an innerspring, such as the Saatva Classic mattress.

Note: If you bought your Zinus mattress from an authorized retailer other than Zinus , you’ll need to reach out to their customer service team about their return policy.

Some online reviewers describe the Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress as like sleeping on a cloud, but we’d say that’s a pretty supportive cloud. We did try it in the fall and winter in New York, though - it's possible that the mattress may feel softer in the summer. The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress (10-inch) is a great option for anyone on a budget, or looking to try memory foam for the first time. It's a good cheaper mattress, delivering support and comfort at a price that other brands can't beat.

A comfortable introduction to memory foam at a great price

Underneath this is a 2” layer of comfort foam, designed to support the body and stop it from sinking too far into the memory foam. At the bottom is a 5.5” layer of high-density base memory foam. This provides the structure and support for the bed and helps to keep it stable while you sleep. It isn’t all positive though, and there’s one big caveat with the Zinus Green Tea mattress, as one reviewer warns: do not unzip the mattress cover otherwise fiberglass shards might be released into your home. If that happens, you’ll have to spend a lot of time and money clearing it up. That’s also why Zinus explicitly says not to unzip the mattress cover and advises spot cleaning only. So it’s utterly bizarre that the company would add a zip to the cover - that’s just inviting trouble. Should you buy the Zinus Green Tea mattress? The comfort foam used in the Zinus Green Tea relieves pressure around curvier parts of your body, which can ease or even prevent shoulder and hip pain.
