Are Zinus Mattresses Good For Cooling?

Derek Hales

Updated

No, Zinus mattresses are not generally good for cooling. Based on our testing data, the two Zinus mattresses that we tested for cooling (Zinus Hybrid and Zinus Green Tea) performed well below average.

The main cause of cooling issues in Zinus mattresses is lower quality foam.

Without these features, lower-quality polyurethane foam absorbs and retains heat more than average.

Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each Zinus mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.

Zinus Green Tea

Although we haven’t tested this mattress, Zinus highlights the Zinus Balanced Comfort Luxe Hybrid as the best pick for cooling. This mattress features a cool-to-the-touch cover, gel-infused memory foam, channel-cut foam, and a pocketed coil base. These features should help the mattress provide better cooling than we measured in our tests, but results have not been confirmed within the NapLab studio.
