ZINUS 12 Inch True Support Hybrid Mattress [New Version], King, Fiberglass Free, Medium Feel, Motion Isolation, Certified Safe Foams & Fabric, Mattress in A Box

It’s only been four nights but WOW! Review September 2017 with follow up April 2021 at the end.
Eighteen months ago due to severe spinal stenosis I gave up my once awesome but currently sagging 20 year old beauty rest mattress in favor of sleeping directly on my board like box springs with a mattress topper. For a while it helped but at 68 years old I finally realized I needed at least a little bit of cushion or give. After reviewing pretty much every mattress on the planet for the last six months I decided on an inexpensive bed in a box type of mattress. I didn’t want to spend a lot in case it didn’t work out. I have had coil spring mattresses for over 60 years so I decided to stick with that familiar feel. However, I definitely needed the firmest mattress I could find… a step above the wooden board I had been sleeping on. Last Monday, July 28th I ordered the Zinus performance plus extra firm 10 inch queen mattress. I received it three days later on Thursday shipped from Amazon. It came in a long box about 90 pounds. I maneuvered it from the porch on its end all the way to my bedroom. Not too bad for a 68 year old woman with a bad back! I set it on the bed and unpacked it with no problem. I slowly cut the wrapper off as instructed and the mattress immediately started inflating and expanding. The smell was very mild and reminded me of dried hay. 10 hours later when I went to bed the smell was completely gone. Before I made up the bed I laid on the mattress for a few minutes to test the firmness. It is very firm but with that tiny bit of give that you get from a spring mattress. Since the 10 inch style has very little padding on top of the springs I decided to use my 3 inch Novafirm gel memory foam topper from Costco. If I was a little younger and not so sore I probably wouldn’t need it. I also have a very nice bamboo made in the USA mattress pad that I’m using on top of that. Now the results. These last four nights I feel like I died and went to heaven! I have not slept this well in over two years. I feel like I am sleeping in a $2000 bed! I am not waking up six or seven times a night and it is sooo comfortable. Can’t tell you how grateful I am to have found this bed and at such a good price. I was so apprehensive about this purchase and am so relieved and happy about the results! I know this was a very long review but I wanted all of you out there to have enough information in one review to help you make a decision. Also you already know my age but I am 5 foot four and 168 pounds if that helps. Also if you buy the bed directly from Amazon it comes a bit faster. Amazon prime got it to me in 3 days but I had to pay $20 tax. If you order it from Amazon and pick vendor Sleep Revolution( which is like the store front of Zinus) to order it from it takes about 7 to14 days and you don’t pay tax. But I wanted it really fast. I just want to end this review with a huge thank you to Zinus for making a product that has so vastly improved the quality of my life!!………………. Today is April 21, 2021 and it has been about 3 1/2 years since I bought this wonderful mattress. A lot of times you will see a review for a product and then never hear from that consumer again. But I love this bed so much I felt I should offer a follow up. First of all this mattress is in exactly the same shape as when it was new. I can detect no wear of any kind or any sagging. I am now 72 years old and still have my back issues but I have never slept so well in any other bed that I have owned. I still can’t believe that I paid less than $250 for a “bed in a box” coil spring mattress of this quality. I own the 10 inch mattress and as I stated I at first used a 3 inch memory foam topper but I ended up getting rid of it because foam is just too hot for me. Besides the top of this bed is soft enough even though the mattress is super firm and I use a bamboo USA made plush mattress pad cover which is perfect. This combination allows the mattress to breathe and the whole sleeping experience is cool and comfortable rather than hot and suffocating. I think the problem with foam is your body heat does not dissipate very well and I am a very hot sleeper. So in closing I will just say this. This mattress is worth every penny. If you are looking for a very firm bed that is really comfortable and sleeps cool look no further. I hope this follow up review is helpful.

Firm and Comfortable
We finally pulled the plug on our waterbed. We’d gotten used to sleeping on it, and it was comfortable, but really heavy. We had purchased a 12″ mattress for our summer cabin, but I found it a bit difficult to sit on the edge of the bed, so I opted for the 10″ one for home. The delivery came faster than expected which was great. We were also more experienced at unpackaging the mattress, which can explode out of the wrapping if you’re not careful. You need to watch where you’re standing when the mattress comes loose.We opted to put the new mattress onto an older box spring and frame, although you can also put this mattress onto a platform. We still had the other underpinnings from the waterbed, and our headboard can be attached to that frame, so we went with that set-up.The bed is actually still a little high, but manageable. The dog absolutely loves this mattress. I thought she’d miss the waterbed, but she’s been staying in bed until past noon some days. I am sleeping well on it, and it’s also easier to sit up and read at night. My husband thinks it might be too firm.We unrolled the mattress in the morning, and I slept on it that night, with no trouble. I’d have preferred to give it another day to inflate, but I don’t think it really matters in the end. It will continue to inflate, whether or not there are sheets on it.This is a good value regularly, and Black Friday made it even sweeter. I bought a couple of nice pillows (also inflatable) with the savings.

Great mattress for the price you pay. No sign of back pain so far. Good back support. Firm yet soft enough to be confortable. It has been 2 weeks that I am using and super recommend.

This mattress was not good at all was not extra firm it was very very soft did not look like a 12 inch at all it’s a garbage mattress will never buy again doesn’t deserve a star
