How firm is the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam?

It is on the soft side of medium. The thicker models feel plusher, while the 5 and 6 inch versions feel firmer because there is less foam under you.

Does the mattress smell when new?

Yes, many owners notice a foam odor after unboxing. Air it out in a ventilated room for a day or two before sleeping on it.

Which thickness should I choose?

Choose 6 to 8 inches for kids, guest rooms or a platform bed. Choose 10 to 12 inches if you want a plusher feel and more foam under your body.

Does it need a box spring?

No. It works on a platform bed, slatted frame or adjustable base. A solid or slatted base with good airflow is best.

Is it good for heavy sleepers?

It is not the best fit. Heavier sleepers tend to sink through the softer foam and report faster sagging, so a firmer hybrid is usually a better choice.

Budget mattresses like this one usually drop during major sales events and around back-to-school season. Compare the current price across stores before buying.

Our take on the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam is a budget mattress sold in sizes from Twin to California King and thicknesses from 5 to 12 inches. It pairs a green tea and charcoal-infused memory foam top layer with a high-density foam base, and it ships compressed in a box. It is one of the most widely bought budget mattresses online, so its price is easy to compare across stores.
