Are Zinus Mattresses Worth It?

Derek Hales

Published

Based on the two flagship models we tested, Zinus mattresses are generally not worth it due to their low performance scores. However, for those on an extremely tight budget, the Zinus Hybrid might still be a decent option.

Zinus Green Tea6.93Bottom 3%$49969% Less Than Average
Zinus Hybrid7.62Bottom 9%$22986% Less Than Average

The affordability of a $229 mattress cannot be overstated for those who don’t have the means to buy something with better performance. This is the third most affordable mattress we’ve tested to date.

The main issue with the performance is the low pressure relief score. As shown in the table below, neither mattress performed well, but the Zinus Hybrid is in the “mediocre” range.

One of the only categories that the Zinus mattresses scored well on is company, which reflects their free shipping and free returns. For sleepers unsure whether pressure relief and other low performance scores will be a dealbreaker, they can try this super-affordable mattress for free, as long as they decide before the 100-night trial cut-off.
