China

Zinus Green Tea is a 12" foam mattress with a medium feel and a simple design. It has 3 foam layers and no extra cooling features. All foam used in the mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified.

 

Mattress Layers 

  • 1st Layer: 3″ of charcoal and green tea infused Biofoam memory foam designed to promote comfort and help manage odours.
  • 2nd Layer: 2" of transition foam that prevents you from sinking in too deep.
  • 3rd Layer: 7" of foam base layer. It's designed to add support and firmness to the mattress, and also help to boost airflow as the coils allow for breathability on the mattress.

 

Mattress Cover

The Zinus Green Tea mattress has a simple all white cover designed with jacquard-knit patterns. The cover is 100% polyester and isn't machine washable.


Mattress Testing

/10

Made in

Firmness

The Zinus Green Tea mattress is designed to have a medium feel. For our review, we tested the 12"-tall version. It's also available in 6″, 8″, and 10″ heights. The thinner models will feel a bit firmer since their comfort layers aren't as thick or plush.

Edge Support

Zinus Green Tea scored 3.3/10 for edge support. This is below average for a foam mattress. Edge support measures how sturdy the sides of the bed feel. This can be important if you tend to sit or sleep near the edges or share your bed.

If solid edge support is important to you, Juno might be a better fit. It scored a higher score of 8.0/10 for edge support, offering a more stable edge and giving you more usable sleep surface.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.

3.3

/10

Cooling Features

The Zinus Green Tea Mattress didn't earn a score for cooling features when evaluated by our mattress reviewers. While it does have a green tea infusion, this doesn't help the mattress disperse heat or improve airflow.

For an affordable mattress with cooling features, we recommend the Juno. Juno earned a score of 3.2/10 thanks to its layer of cooling gel foam and optional cooling cover upgrade.

Our Rating
?

Determined by entering a mattress's cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

/10

Motion Isolation

Zinus Green Tea scored 8.6/10 for motion isolation. This is a great score for a foam mattress. Most movements from across this bed while on this mattress shouldn't be too noticeable.

Our Rating
?

Determined by measuring a medicine ball's impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.

8.6

/10

Bounce

Bounce measures how quickly your mattress returns into shape after you apply pressure to it. If a mattress has a lot of bounce, it's easier to switch positions. On the other hand, one with less bounce can help keep movements from disturbing your partner.

Zinus Green Tea scored 1.9/10 for bounce. This is a very low score, even for a foam mattress.

The Juno mattress, in comparison, has a bounce score of 2.5/10, which is good if you're looking for a little more help getting into or out of bed.

Our Rating
?

Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.

Delivery & Other Policies

Zinus doesn't ship directly to Canada from their website, so you'll need to order through a retailer like Amazon or Walmart. Delivery times will vary depending on your location and the retailer you choose.

If you're in Canada, Zinus doesn't offer a sleep trial. Your return options will depend on the retailer. For example, Walmart allows free returns within 90 days. Some Zinus Green Tea models may be final sale, which means you'd need to contact Zinus directly if there's an issue. The company's refund policy isn't clearly outlined.

The mattress comes with a 10-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. The warranty is void if the mattress is used without a proper foundation, altered in any way, or if the cover or tags are removed.

If you want a mattress with cooling features, a 120-night sleep trial, the option to return it for a full refund, and a 15-year warranty, check out Juno.

Company Overview

Company HQ

1979

N/A

South Korea

Zinus is a global mattress and furniture brand that started in South Korea in 1979, founded by Youn Jae Lee. The company designs and manufactures its own products, including foam and hybrid mattresses, bed frames, and other furniture. The company does not sell directly to Canadians. Instead, Zinus sells products in Canada through third-party retailers such as Amazon.ca, Wayfair, Walmart, and others.

Zinus is currently facing a proposed class-action lawsuit in the U.S. after various families had health issues linked to fibreglass in their mattresses. Although Zinus has started selling mattresses with safer fire sock materials, you might prefer a Canadian-made mattress like Juno, which is guaranteed fibreglass-free.
