We Wanted Something Long Lasting

There are so many different mattress reviews out there and honestly I never thought I would be giving a review on one. Mainly because many mattresses are not the greatest and some seemed to be overhyped to me. Most mattress’s cost you $800-$2500. We were in desperate need for a new bed because our “older” (it was only 5 years old) started slumping in the middle and it was causing us so much back pain! The thing stopping us from buying another was the fact that a lot of beds just do that anyway. Looking for a quality budget friendly bed brought is to the Zinus Mattress.

The Zinus Mattress Only Costs $300

I had came across someone I follow on insta, raving about this Zinus mattress and how she has had it two years and there’s still no sign of slumping. What really turned my head though, was the fact it was in the $299 range for a Queen size. That’s like unheard of, how can you trust a bed that is so cheap?! I was thinking, what kind of mattress’s has that woman had in the past because there’s NO WAY that it would be that comfortable. We had really wanted a purple bed but just didn’t want to spend the money. I even heard that it slumped in the middle after a few years as well.

We finally decided to pull the trigger on it. If the Zinus mattress ended up being a terrible fit we would sell it or just toss it. $299 isn’t a lot to lose and I really wanted to try it to see if it’s something I would consider to recommend to others as well.

When the mattress came we let it out of the box and let it inflate for 24 hours. Now it wasn’t on my list at all to get a foam mattress because those are the ones that typically break down and don’t last long. I wanted a pillow top bed instead or one with springs. When I sat on the Zinus Mattress for the first time I was kind of shocked. I laid on it to see how it formed to my back. It’s like it supports each part of your body. It’s just so different than most foams!

The First Night

The first night I slept on it I slept SO GOOD. Our last bed was too soft and it slumped in the middle, then come morning I would usually have back pain. The Zinus mattress made me feel a lot more refreshed, and also felt like I got way better sleep. I actually wanted to get out of bed. Now your probably thinking, “If it makes you want to get out of it than why would you like it?”. Well if you have ever slept on a bed that makes your back hurt or a pillow top mattress in general, you know probably what I mean. If your bed makes you not want to leave it in the morning, how motivated are you? Are you actually getting the sleep you want? It’s not that I want to get out of it necessarily, it’s that I can. I am well rested enough to jump out of bed and start my day. It is a little more of a firm mattress, however it’s plenty soft to feel super comfortable, and firm enough to support my back.

We Always Miss Our Zinus Mattress When Traveling

When it comes to traveling, we ALWAYS miss our Zinus mattress. Whether we sleep in a beautyrest, the purple bed, a temperpedic bed, we always are SO READY to get back home and sleep on our mattress. Crazy they only sell this thing for $299 right?! It really is unbelievable to me that we choose this cheap mattress over a $5,000 mattress.

It’s a year and a half later as I write this and no sign of slumping. We still are in love with the Zinus mattress and we crave good sleep when we come home on vacation! I really hope you try this mattress because you would be surprised how much sleep you’ve been missing without it.
