Love this mattress!
It's been about 3.5 years since we got this mattress, and I'm still so happy with it! No problems at all, still in perfect shape. We kept a mattress protector on it the whole time and it’s just as comfy as day one. Our last mattress sagged, but this one has held up great. When we were searching for a mattress, we knew we had different preferences— I lean towards soft and fluffy, while my husband likes firm. We decided on the hybrid Zinus mattress, and it has worked out well. It's firmer but after a few weeks sleeping on it, I realized how much I needed this change. I didn't know I had back issues until I woke up after the first night without the usual stiffness. It wasn't just a one-time thing either; I feel rested and pain-free every morning. I can sleep comfortably no matter how I turn— side, stomach, or back. It’s even nice for sitting up and watching TV, unlike our old one that just swallowed me up and gave me back pain. Also, I was surprised by how nice it looks and feels for the price. A few details: - We have the king-sized Zinus hybrid mattress. - Shipping was quick— it said 10-12 days but got here in just 3! - We didn’t sleep on it the first night, but it reached full height in just a few hours. - I'm 220 lbs, my husband is 150 lbs, and our 2 small dogs and 1 large dog love sleeping on it too. - It sits on our solid wood bed frame, no box springs, and we've had no issues. I've only had it a couple of weeks, but I’m recommending this mattress!

Surprisingly Great Mattress
I was pretty skeptical about this mattress because of the price, but wow, it's actually really well-made. I've needed a replacement for a while but didn't want to spend a ton of money. I have some special needs with my weight and a hip injury, so I needed something that could support me. After a rough night, I finally started looking around, and the prices were daunting. Then I stumbled upon hybrid mattresses, which had the springs and memory foam I was after. The reviews looked good, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The delivery was smooth—a bit heavy, so maybe get help moving it. The packaging made it a bit tricky to open, but we managed just fine. As soon as I cut the plastic, it fluffed up quickly. First off, the thickness is impressive; I was worried I should’ve gone for a thicker one, but this 10-inch mattress is. The cover is nice and soft, and I was surprised by a bit of smell at first, but it faded quickly and didn’t bother me when I went to sleep. After my first night, I can say it feels way better than regular spring mattresses—there’s no sagging, and it gives great support without any pressure points. I didn't feel stuck like I do sometimes with memory foam. I also slept cooler than usual, woke up less, and felt way better overall. Bottom line, even if this mattress was pricier, I’d still be happy with it. It’s not just good for the cost; it’s simply a good mattress. If you're thinking about it, I'd say go for it!

great choice for the price
I was on the hunt for a king mattress for about three months and had a lot to consider since I’m a hot sleeper and have shoulder pain. My old queen mattress didn’t do much for me, so I wanted to find something better. I did my homework, checking out various brands in stores and online, and even ordered a Bear hybrid mattress, but it ended up getting returned due to some customs issues. After that mess, I started looking for something around a thousand dollars instead. I decided to give Hawkins Woodshop a shot since I’d had decent luck with Amazon in the past. I found this mattress, and after reading a bunch of real reviews, I placed an order when the price dropped to a little over 400. It got here in about a week, which was nice. The packaging was solid, and the instructions were easy to follow. It only took about 30 minutes to inflate mostly, but I let it sit for three days to air out and finish inflating. Now that I've been using it for about three weeks, I wouldn't call it the most comfortable mattress ever, but it’s definitely better than my last one. I’ve noticed a decrease in my shoulder pain by about 60-70%, and I don't have any heat issues—maybe because there’s enough space for me to move around. If you’re looking for a mattress under two grand, I’d say this one is a solid pick. You probably won't regret it.

Definitely firm! But so nice! No smell!
So, I have to say, this mattress is firm! My fiancé and I are already looking into getting a mattress topper because it’s just too stiff for us at the moment. We were hoping it would soften a bit over time, but it’s still super supportive, which is good. After our old mattress, which was all sunk in and worn out, I miss that comfort! Now, we’ve got the challenge of finding a good soft topper. We got the 10” version, and while it's not hard, it offers a lot of support. It just takes some getting used to after years of sleeping on something completely different. We have a 14” high platform bed frame that looks great and eliminated the need for a box spring. It’s a bit of a toe-stubber, though! One thing about this mattress is that it stays cool, which is since I tend to get hot while sleeping, especially with two adults and a baby in the bed! Plus, this mattress is massive! Upgraded from a Queen, and wow, the extra 20” of space is a game changer! The craftsmanship is impressive too—nice seams and handles. We let it sit for a full day to air out, and thankfully, there was no chemical smell at all. If you do notice anything after some time, I’d recommend getting a bed-bug or allergen cover; they work wonders! Overall, I'm adjusting to the firmness, which is a bit tough since I’m a side sleeper, but I'm optimistic it will be better once it breaks in. Happy with our choice and hoping it stays that way!

Still Loving This Mattress!
Just wanted to add to my previous review about this mattress. It's been a while, and it’s still just as great as when we got it! The dimensions are still perfect at 12 inches deep, and the edges remain firm. Our dog, Lily, has claimed her spot in the middle, now weighing about 130 lbs and making herself comfortable. My wife and I usually sleep in our guest house without her, and I’ve noticed back pains on that mattress. It’s not awful, but after getting used to this one, it’s noticeable. At 72, any back pain is uncomfortable, so I can confidently say this Zinus mattress is the best I’ve ever slept on—Lily agrees too! We’ve had it since February, and we both think it gives better back support than anything else we’ve tried. The only hiccup was when our puppy Great Dane chewed a hole by my pillow, but I managed to fix it with foam and duct tape. So, if you’re a big dog lover who doesn’t mind sharing your pillow with a hefty pup, this mattress is for you! We still love it. I’ll check back in about six months, but so far, I’m happy with this purchase and completely odor-free experience. Plus, after letting it air out, it expanded quickly and held its shape just fine. Go ahead and trust the good reviews; we sure do!

Very comfy mattress with great support
I was thrilled to receive this mattress as a Christmas gift and couldn’t be happier. This is my second Zinus mattress, and it’s a huge upgrade from my old one. It’s thick, even though I only got the 10-inch version. It works great as both a box spring and mattress. Unpacking it wasn’t as fun as the first time—I didn’t get the little envelope with info this time, just some basic instructions. Be careful when you open the plastic, though! The mattress has no weird smell, which is great. I’d expected some green tea scent, but I’m fine with it being odor-free. It’s also OKEOTEX certified, which is important to me since I avoid toxins. The motion isolation is really impressive. I tested it by bouncing gently on one side while a water bottle stayed put on the other. It’s going to be great for couples, especially if someone moves a lot at night. I also work from home, and this mattress is comfy for both sleeping and sitting during the day. I’d love to get a matching headboard and frame one day to complete the set, as I’m currently using it on a plain metal frame. Overall, this is the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever owned. I love it!

Fantastic mattress!
I really love this mattress. My fiancé and I have been using the king size for a month now, so I thought I’d share my thoughts! I’m a plus-sized woman in my thirties with chronic pain, and my fiancé is a healthy guy in his thirties. We’re both happy with it! We’re actually going to switch our spare bed to a Zinus mattress soon because they are that good. The mattress came packed in a heavy but manageable box. It was easy to open, and it unrolled itself without any bad smell, which is a big relief for me since I’m sensitive to odors. It took less than 24 hours to expand fully, and it got a little firmer over the next few days. From the first night, it felt. It doesn’t need a breaking-in period; it’s soft yet firm enough to support me well. For the first time in years, I woke up without pain! It actually spreads support evenly across my body instead of just at pressure points like my hips and shoulders, which makes a difference for me. My fiancé noticed he could sleep longer without any stiffness, which he thought was just from getting older. The hybrid design seems to be a great fit for us, combining memory foam and pocket coils perfectly. We've been testing the cooling gel feature without a cover, but I can't tell if it's making a big difference yet. I’ll update once we try it with a cover. It’s only been a month, so I can't speak on longevity, but I feel confident about it. I honestly can’t think of any negatives! Overall, this mattress is. If you're thinking about it, just buy it. The price is great, and I'm glad I got it!

I absolutely love this mattress! I got the ZINUS 10 Inch Green Tea Cooling Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress in Queen size. Honestly, I’d suggest this to my family, friends, and even folks online. I needed to upgrade from a full to a queen while sticking to a budget, which can be tough. Plus, with my small car and limited time, I couldn’t test it out in person. So, I took a leap and went for it, especially since the price was around $200. Can’t beat that! The delivery was quick, and the box was solid, making it easy to move. Once I opened it and let it settle for a few hours, it was ready for a trial. It’s so comfy! The sides hold up well, and the size is. When I took off the plastic, I hardly noticed any smell. Once I dressed it with clean sheets, you couldn't smell anything at all! As for comfort, I’d describe it as “firm,” but a nice plush firm that feels like a gentle embrace. It supports you but allows for a little sink without losing comfort. Overall, it’s a price, comfy, low odor, easy to set up, accurate in size, and offers great support.

Great mattress for under 2k
I've been looking for a king mattress for about three months. I sleep on my side and front, and I tend to get hot, plus I’ve had shoulder pain for years. My last queen mattress from sleepcountry didn’t help and just made things worse. I went through a lot of shops and did online research before ordering the bear hybrid mattress, but a customs issue meant I had to cancel that order. After more searching, I settled on a mattress under 1000 CAD. I checked reviews carefully, focusing on the 3- and 4-star ones because they seemed more genuine. I found this one for about $400 and it arrived in a week, which was good. The packaging was solid and the instructions were clear. It inflated quickly, but I let it sit for three days to air out. After three weeks of sleeping on it, I can say it's better than my old 2k mattress. My shoulder pain has improved by about 60-70%. It’s medium-firm and I haven’t had any hot issues. Overall, if you’re looking for a mattress under 2k, this one is a solid choice.

So Happy with This Mattress!
Just wanted to share my experience with this mattress since we got it. The size is perfect at 12", and the edges have stayed nice and firm. My dog Lily, who now weighs 130 lbs, practically takes over the bed, but we wouldn't have it any other way! I’ve been noticing some back pain when sleeping in our guest house on a different mattress, but since switching to this one, I haven’t felt any discomfort. I'm 72, so that’s saying something! We’ve had it since mid-February, and it's still just as good as when we first got it. There was some worry about odors from other reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised—no bad smells at all upon opening, just the fresh scent of the materials. It inflated quickly too! We initially got a king to accommodate Lily, and even though she's taken to snuggling right between us, the mattress has been great for both my wife’s back issues and my own. One little mishap was when our puppy chewed the spot where my pillow goes, but a quick repair with some foam and duct tape did the trick! Overall, we’re pleased with this mattress and Lily is loving it just as much as we are. I’ll check back in later with any updates!

I'm super happy with my new mattress! I got the ZINUS 10 Inch Green Tea Cooling Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress in a Queen size. I recommend it to family and friends, and even strangers online! I needed to upgrade from a full to a queen without breaking the bank, which is tough. I don’t have a huge vehicle or much time to shop around, so I took a chance and ordered it without trying it out first. Honestly, I couldn't resist the price—it was around $200 for a whole new bed! The delivery was quick, and the box was sturdy, which made moving it around easy. After I opened it and let it inflate for a few hours, I tested it out. It's so comfortable! The sides hold up nicely, and the size is. There was no weird smell when I opened it, and once I put fresh sheets on, I couldn't even detect any odor. As for how it feels, I’d call it firm but with a plushness that lets you sink in a little, making it cozy. Great support for my back too. In short, price, comfy, no smell, easy setup, true to size, and supportive!

Update after 3.5 years: I still really love this mattress! It's holding up perfectly, and I've had no issues at all. We've kept a mattress protector on it the whole time, and it's just as comfy as it was when we first got it—no sagging like our last one. Original review: I had my reservations about buying a mattress online, but after researching a lot, I settled on the king-sized Zinus hybrid mattress. I prefer a soft and fluffy feel, while my husband likes something firmer, so this seemed like the right fit. After a few weeks, I realized this mattress is just what we needed. I didn't even know I had back issues until I woke up pain-free the day after sleeping on this mattress. Now, I wake up feeling rested and good every day. It's comfortable in any position—whether I'm on my side, stomach, or back during the night. Plus, it's great for sitting up to watch TV without the back pain we had with our old mattress. The quality exceeded my expectations, too! I didn't expect it to look so nice and feel so sturdy for the price. Shipping was a pleasant surprise; it arrived in just 3 days instead of the 10-12 days estimated. We didn't sleep on it the first night, but it was fully expanded in just a few hours. Both my husband and I, along with our two small dogs and one larger dog, have been enjoying it. We have it on our solid wood bed frame without a box spring, and it's. It's only been a couple of weeks, but I’m happy with this mattress and would recommend it!

great value for under $2000
I've been searching for a king mattress for about three months now. As a side and front sleeper who tends to run hot, I've had shoulder pain for the last three years. My previous queen mattress, which I bought for around $2000, didn't help and actually made it worse. I thought my pillows might be the issue, but switching them out didn't solve anything either. I wanted to be smart this time, so I explored many mattress stores, checked out a bunch of brands, and did plenty of online research. I even ordered a bear hybrid mattress for about $1600, but it ended up getting sent back due to some customs hang-ups. I got tired of waiting and canceled the order. After doing more research and reading reviews, I found a theme: if you want something decent, stay under $1000, otherwise, you're looking at $2500 or more. I remember having a decent mattress from a site back in the US, so I started looking at options here. I pay close attention to the 4 and 3-star reviews, as they often highlight the real issues without being overly negative. I finally settled on this mattress when it dropped below $400 and it was delivered within a week. The packaging was great, and the instructions were clear. It took about 30 minutes to nearly inflate, but I left it for three days to air out and fully inflate. After three weeks of sleeping on it, I can't say it's the most comfortable mattress out there, but it's definitely better than my old queen. My shoulder pain has reduced significantly, maybe by 60-70%. It's medium-firm and I haven't had any overheating issues. Overall, it’s been a positive experience. So if you’re in the market for a mattress under $2000, I recommend this one. You probably won't regret your choice.
