Memory Foam Mattress Reviews

Yet another popular Zinus mattress that is getting extremely good reviews and ratings from consumers. The Zinus Sleep Master Ultima Comfort Memory Foam Mattress is very affordable and, for most owners, very comfortable. It also uses green tea extract to help maintain freshness and some of the traditionally petroleum-derived ingredients have been replaced with natural plant oils. In addition, the foam is CertiPUR-US certified (has met stringent standards for content, emissions, & durability). Some people find the edge support a little weak however and the mattress sometimes does not expand to the full advertized height.

When we read about a mattress infused with green tea we had to learn more.  We are big fans of green tea and consume several cups every morning.  Green tea is full of antioxidants which reduce free radicals in the body and protect cells from damage.  Research also suggests that green tea improves brain function, physical performance and can even lower the risk of a number of diseases.  We simply love the taste and the aroma and were wondering what does this beverage have to do with a mattress?

Casper launched in 2014 and they are one of a number of mattress start-ups in recent years. They’ve made a bit of a splash in the industry and have received widespread media coverage. The Casper mattress is a combination of three types of foam, including memory foam, and it is delivered directly to your door in a vacuum sealed package. Consumer ratings are fairly good to date and most owners like how easy it is to setup and feel it is good value for money. However some folks find it too firm and also report that delivery can be slow.

The Ultimate Dreams Gel Memory Foam Mattress is very popular and is getting solid ratings from owners.  It is made in the USA and is modeled after the Tempur-Pedic Cloud Luxe.  Consumers are pleased with the price (which is much less than the Cloud Luxe) and the fact that the mattress doesn’t sleep too hot.  Owners also report that the unit is both comfortable and supportive.  However there are some that feel the mattress is too soft.

The new Cool Breeze 12-inch gel memory foam mattress is a popular seller on our site.  According to owners this is because it is quite inexpensive (about $475 for a Queen) and also because it alleviates some of the problems typical of traditional memory foam – the Cool Breeze provides good support at pressure points and it does not sleep hot.  It isn’t perfect however and like many mattresses with memory foam it gives off a chemical smell when first unpacked.

Carolina Mattress Guild (CMG) is a small company when compared to the larger outfits like Serta or Sealy, but they still offer a comprehensive range of latex, memory foam, and inner spring mattresses. In this review we look at their memory foam mattress G series.
