The Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress is manufactured in China. It’s available in Canada via online and in-store third-party retailers. Prices vary by individual retailer, but Amazon Canada currently sells Zinus Green Tea at $320 for a queen size.
This Zinus mattress review is for the 12″ model. Its main selling point is a layer of proprietary BioFoam, infused with green tea and charcoal. This gives the mattress excellent motion isolation. However, it still has below-average edge support and very low bounce. Zinus offers an industry-standard 10-year warranty, but the manufacturer doesn’t offer a sleep trial in Canada.
In comparison, Canadian mattress Juno comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty. Every Juno mattress also comes with a bedding bundle that includes a sheet set, pillow(s), and a mattress protector.
Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.
3.3 /10
Determined by measuring a medicine ball’s impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.
8.6 /10
Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.
1.9 /10
Determined by entering a mattress’s cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

The Zinus Green Tea memory foam mattress is 12″ thick and has 3 foam layers. These layers as having a supportive feel that’s designed to cradle your joints and align your spine. Its top layer is noted for its green tea and “ActivCharcoal” charcoal infusions, which help keep this mattress feeling fresh.
According to third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Zinus Green Tea has excellent motion isolation, but very low bounce and below-average edge support. It’s advertised as having a medium feel. This mattress also doesn’t have any cooling features to help with temperature control.
The mattress cover is not machine washable. It should be spot-cleaned only in case of any spills or stains.

Zinus is a South Korea–based company founded in 1979 by Youn Jae Lee. The company began as a tent manufacturer before expanding into mattresses. Zinus is rated “D-” (unaccredited)on Better Business Bureau with a customer review rating of 1/5 stars, and the company is rated “Poor” on Trustpilot with 2/5 stars.
Zinus is also the subject of a proposed class-action lawsuit related to fiberglass fire socks.
Buy from a Canadian brand that’s rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot.
Zinus Green Tea is affordably priced and has excellent motion isolation. However, it has below-average edge support and doesn’t come with cooling features or a sleep trial for Canadians. The brand is also rated “D-” (unaccredited) on BBB and “Poor” on Trustpilot.
We recommend Juno instead. Juno comes with a layer of cooling gel foam, a 120-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set, pillow(s), and a mattress protector. The brand is also rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot.
No. Zinus warns that its mattress covers should not be removed. This is because of the fire sock beneath the cover, which may contain fiberglass (depending on where and when you bought the mattress). Instead, spot-clean any stains on your mattress cover.

Zinus’s 10-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects only. This coverage doesn’t include “deterioration of the foam that results in an indentation of less than 1.5 inches, not associated with a sag in the foundation, box spring or platform or mattress.” Any damage (including stains) will void the warranty, so Zinus recommends using an additional stain-resistant pad to protect the mattress.
Zinus manufactures its products across Asia and North America. The company currently manufactures the Zinus Green Tea mattress in China.
We recommend the Juno mattress instead. It’s designed with a layer of cooling gel foam and it earned an excellent edge support score. Juno has a 120-night sleep trial, the option of free return pickup with a full refund, and a 15-year warranty. Accessibly priced at $499 for a queen size, it comes with a free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set, pillow(s), and a mattress protector.
