Are Zinus Mattresses Good?

No, Zinus makes affordable but largely unimpressive mattresses. Based on our objective testing, Zinus has an average score of 7.28 out of 10. This is among the worst-performing brands we’ve tested to date.

The average score of all mattresses (470+ models) tested by NapLab is 8.52. Therefore, Zinus mattresses perform well below average.

To generate these scores, we assess each mattress across the board by looking at 8 different performance factors, as well as subjective factors like sinkage and bounce.

NapLab performance categories include:

  1. Cooling
  2. Motion Transfer
  3. Response
  4. Edge Support
  5. Sex
  6. Pressure Relief
  7. Off-Gassing
  8. Company

As shown below, both Zinus mattresses have many categories in the yellow and red range, signifying below-average performance. On the positive side, the memory foam and hybrid models are good (but not great) at limiting motion transfer, and Zinus offers generally favorable company policies.

However, both Zinus mattresses struggle with pressure relief, which is arguably the most important factor when regarding a mattress as “good”. Therefore, affordability would need to be a high priority if you were considering either the Green Tea or Zinus Hybrid.

Cooling is another highly-weighted factor in the overall score, and neither model scores particularly well there as well.
