Product Overview
A foam mattress, the ZINUS 12-Inch Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress has been created to alleviate pressure on your body and support it with comfort. With a layered foam structure that can help cushion shoulders, hips and other pressure areas of the body as you lie down or sit up throughout the night, this mattress provides body-contouring support.
Once removed from its shipping container and unboxed, the mattress will begin to expand into its full shape. A soft woven material covers the mattress and allows it to be used on either a platform bed, a slatted frame or another compatible foundation that does not require use of a standard box spring.
Customers Say
Many consumers express preference for the pressure relief provided by this mattress. As such, they say it has a comfortable sleeping surface for both sides and backs. Some buyers have commented on how well the foam conforms to the body as opposed to an older-style spring mattress which would be considered bouncy. Couples are a common demographic for consumers who praise motion isolation. Motion is less easily transferred from one side of the mattress to the other.
This results in reduced disruption of your partner's sleep. Some complaints regarding this mattress include differing views on firmness. Consumers may comment on a strong chemical smell immediately out of the box. Others state their mattresses took longer than anticipated to fully expand. Also, some consumers have stated that due to the foam used in the construction, the sleeping surface will tend to run slightly warmer than those constructed using hybrid and/or coil designs.
