I got a foam mattress on amazon for like $250 7 years ago and it's my favourite mattress of all time, and would be basically perfect except that it's a bit warm. Pretty sure it was a 10" zinus
I bought a Zinus Queen Size Memory Foam Mattress recently, even got the smaller 25cm version. I've spent more on memory foam mattresses before (I've had Ecosa and Ergoflex), and the Zinus one was pretty much exactly the same. I figured there had to be someone out there selling these dang foam things for cheaper in 2026, and I was right. It's definitely owned by Woolworths or something but hey, it's significantly cheaper
Zinus 10 inch off amazon. First slept on one in an airbnb. Replaced the one at home with it.
I got a zinus 10" from amazon 10/10. If you need/life a softer bed get a platform with Euro slats (curved) they have give. Look at Ikea wood slat bases if your unsure what they look like.
FWIW, I recently stayed in an Airbnb and slept on a Zinus mattress from 2018. Best night of sleep I’ve ever had, woke up with Zero aches or pains. Primarily a Side Sleeper with occasional stomach. I currently have an Amerisleep AS5 and while it’s held up great it’s too plush to provide the necessary back support I need. Prior to that I ordered a Casper which was unbearable and returned after 3 days. I went down a rabbit hole, multiple reviews and the reality is that everyone is different and therefore will have different results between mattresses. It’s honestly overwhelming, not in a good way, in the amount of companies and products out there. I decided it’s best to order something I had a great experience with. As someone wrote on this sub it’s worthwhile to consider a cheaper mattress, replacing it often than an expensive one which might be a gamble. I’ve also considered Costco for the return policy but saw that there are multiple negative reviews for all their products. I would say the best way is to try the mattress out as even if for a short while at a store, before blindly ordering one online.
Zinus green tea memory foam is solid for apartments, comes in a box and weighs like nothing to lug upstairs. I tried a coil one first and hated wrestling it through doors. Best California Movers handled my setup when I moved, made it easy.
I wouldn’t say a scam, but you definitely pay for their marketing. Wife’s a travel nurse and we move every 13 weeks. Slept on lots of beds and lots of toppers. A Zinus memory foam better from Amazon is often better than your favorite Bed in a box brand or Costco mattress. On the other hand those cheap serta types you get for $300-500 often do suck (in my experience). The difference in “quality materials” is more about off gassing than comfort. Not sure anyone would notice a difference between wool and a cashmere/horsehair blend. But neither suit my body better than a piece of memory foam
You should get a bed in a box from Amazon instead. I have purchased multiple Zinus brands and love them!
