The verdict
Why it scored a 80
At $249.00 the Zinus Green Tea 12" is Amazon's best-selling mattress and the category's budget floor: three foam layers, a medium-firm feel and a green tea and charcoal infusion for odor. Value leads at 92 and Warranty at 95 for a ten-year limited term, while Features sits at 52 because it is plain memory foam with a slow, sinking feel and no edge reinforcement. The caveat is history: Zinus faced a class action over fiberglass in older Green Tea beds, so confirm the fiberglass-free version arrives, and expect some initial odor. It suits guest rooms and first apartments that need a proven bed for the least money.
