What makes the Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress unique is the green tea extract which is inserted into the product to make it fresh for a long time and stop the off-gassing. Apart from that, it has several layers of foam that contribute to the softness and comfort, and the most important part is – it is quite affordable. Furthermore, the makers claim that dust mites cannot enter the memory foam and that this type of foam is “naturally antimicrobial.” True or note, our review will just give you a way to compare and understand if you are willing to spend on this.
Features of Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress
Foam Layers
Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress each layer is placed onto the other, and together they form a mattress. The first layer consists of 3-inch thick memory foam. Beneath it is comfort foam which is thick 2 inches, and beneath the comfort foams are two types high-density airflow foam, each 3.5 inches thick. The lowest one serves as a base support foam for the upper ones. As you can see, it is quite a complex combination that is bound to provide the sleeper with firm and comfortable sleep.
back to menu ↑Quality of material and durability
The material used for the creation of the mattress is complex and diverse. However, the real question here is – how much can it endure? Most of the material for Zinus mattresses is shipped from China, and it requires careful handling to remain in once piece. It means that, when you open the mattress which has arrived at your house, you need to be careful and not use any sharp objects for unpacking. However, the foam that is used is certified with CertiPUR – US and they guarantee the durability, content, and performance of it.

How it feels
The first thing that is noticed with memory foam mattresses is the off-gassing. They tend to have a distinct stench which is not only unpleasant but unhealthy as well because you are exposed to a certain number of toxins from memory foam. Zinus solved this problem with adding natural elements into it such as charcoal and green tea essence, thus minimizing both the toxic off-gassing and the smell. Anyway, we suggest using the mattress after 2-3 days if you’re sensitive to smells.
The sole feel of the mattress is neither too soft nor too firm. In fact, when it comes to firmness, this product can be categorized as medium-firm, although the feeling, at first, may not such. Because the memory foam tends to stay in a previous position for a couple of seconds, the mattress may seem softer than usual. These specifications make it especially suitable for side sleepers, although back sleepers are enjoying it as well.
back to menu ↑Overall Sleep Experience
Overall sleep experience can be summed up in one sentence – positive for that amount of money. The positive things about it are that you will enjoy the pleasant smell and the feel of sinking into the mattress. The mattress is not known for causing back pains or any other kind of pains.
On the other hand, edge support is very poor, and if it becomes crowded on a mattress (2 persons), you will have an uncomfortable night, struggling not to fall out of the bed. Furthermore, because the foam is Chinese and is sometimes kept in bad conditions before the delivery, there is a chance of the mattress sagging after a couple of years. If the sagging happens, you are then bound to start waking up with headaches and back pains.
back to menu ↑Pricing
The price for a queen-sized mattress is usually under $300 which is a very decent price for this type of mattress. It is the same price as all the other mattresses sold by Zinus. In fact, Zinus sells their mattresses under different names but the only thing that differs is the thickness of foam layers. This means that most of them are injected with green tea and that this only has this feature in the product name.
