![ZINUS 10 Inch Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress [New Version], Queen, Fiberglass free, Medium Firm Feel, Zoned Pressure Relief, Certified Safe Foams & Fabric, Mattress in A Box](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lmtTd04IL._AC_.jpg)
Mattress is always a major investment, and you want it to fit perfectly for your body. Unfortunately, this particular mattress did not happen to be the perfect fit for me, but I have to say that I was in general pretty fond of the process, and encourage buyers to give it a shot.
First off, unlike most foam products, this mattress is on the firmer side. If you know for sure that you won't like a firm bed, this might not be for you. For comparison, my sleep number is 65-70, and I actually liked this mattress a lot. It arrived in a box, which is pretty heavy. Unpacking is relatively easy, and it took couple days for the typical memory foam smell to go away. It might help to not having sheet wrapping it, and lay on it here and there occasionally.
I started to sleep on it like three days after it arrived, and I have to say that I really loved it. Yes, it's a firm bed, but the top layer is gel memory foam, which contours your body. I had a feeling that it didn't sink a lot around my butt, but in general I think it felt very good. Sleeping on your side, however, doesn't feel as natural, but in general I was very fond of it.
The problem started around two weeks of real-night usage, that is for some nights (1/3-1/2 of them, not every night), a lower back pain woke me up after 6-7 hours of laying on it. It'd go away shortly after I left the bed and walk around my place, yet it did bother my sleep. Sometimes the back pain occurred on consecutive nights, and sometimes no problem for consecutive nights. I tried to switch my pillows to see whether that makes a difference, and there was no clear trend either way. Roughly four weeks into the process, I contacted the eluxurysupplies to inquire about the situation.
During a web chat, I was told that if it is a firmness problem, they usually suggest the addition of a mattress topper. But since my problem is not with the firmness, they are not sure how to improve the situation. They asked me whether I'd like to file for a refund, yet I thought I'd give it couple more days to see what happens.
The next several days I continued to have back pain occasionally, and for some good mornings, after roughly 7 hrs of sleep, even there was no clear pain, I could feel like it's about to get me if I don't get up. It's kind of frustrating, so I decided to contact them again to ask about the refund process.
It turned out to be a fairly easy process. They asked me whether I know any local charity that takes mattress. I don't know whole lot about the issue, and they found a charity that will pick up the mattress for me. Once the mattress was picked up, and the charity receipt note was sent back to them, a refund was issued shortly after. While I would have preferred to finding the ideal mattress at the first place, I have to say this process was as easy as possible for you to figure out whether this is the best mattress for you, even when the result turns out negative.
Don't try it just for the fun of it. If you don't like a relatively firm bed, this is probably not for you. If you don't like the feel of memory foam, you won't like this either. Even if you pass both, this can still not work for you (like myself), but at least I know how my body reacts to it. And trust me. Without those real-life whole-night sleeping on it, there is no way I could have figured out this back pain problem if I just tried it for couple minutes in a store.
