    Unless you don’t plan on sleeping for 3-4 weeks I would not purchase any mattress from Zinus. I ordered a mattress 3 weeks ago and it still hasn’t been delivered after calling Zinus and Fedex numerous times. Every time all they say is “we apologize and we’ll do our best to get it to you by tomorrow”. And yet still no mattress 10 “tomorrows” later. Well FINALLY I receive my mattress and it arrives in terrible condition with box torn and plastic wrapping halfway ripped. I called customer service and used the online website and all I got was a “I’m sorry”. Worst online shopping experience I’ve ever had. Would not recommend this website to anyone.

    I love these beds. They easy to put together. They are high off the ground so your feet can fit under to make the bed. They are well packaged and can be taken apart and all parts fit into the headboard if you need to remove the bed or move. They ship fast. They are always in perfect condition. But this time, Lee Youn Jae has scored the score of the decade. This bed included a RATCHET!!!! YES!!!! Imagine the time saved!!!! We were actually in awe after years of using those little wrenches that take forever to screw in a screw. Thank you!

    I bought a Zinus mattress. It became DEFECTIVE and still under warranty. In fact, it's the second time I tried to seek assistance. I complied with everything asked of me. I took the pictures, etc. Zinus tells me because I did not have the receipt they could NOT help me. That receipt was mailed into them when I sought relief for the first mattress that clearly was defective. They do not understand this. I file a complaint against Zinus with the BBB. But they REFUSE to respond to the BBB. My dealings with ZINUS gets a THUMBS DOWN. In the meantime I have filed a complaint with the CA Attorney General's Office and at the time of the writing they are looking into my concerns. STILL SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR. THANKS ZINUS, NOT.

    I was really excited when the mattresses arrived. I waited 72 hours to open the two rolled up spring mattresses that I ordered per the instructions on the outer box. After pulling the rolled up mattresses out of the box, there were no instructions to be found. My sister and I started to cut it open. I then noticed a sticker on the bottom and bent down to read it. Just as I read the words “high pressure” the mattress exploded from roll to flat in less than 1.5 seconds. It happened so fast all I recall is fighting back to avoid hitting my head but I lost all control. I knocked me 4-5 feet across the room whilst trampling me.

    I penetrated my neck with a knife and hit my head on the wall. It was very scary and to this day I’m very thankful our two toddlers did not coming running by from the other room. Zinus was contacted twice with no real resolution. I begged them to add warnings and instructions to their packaging to avoid a situation that could be worse similar or worse than mine. They didn’t seem to care and I was never contacted after making those calls.

    In August 2018, I purchased the Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch/Premium/Cloud-like Mattress, Queen size; the product has a 10-year warranty (replacement or pro-rated refund), per terms of purchase with properly supported base and mattress protector. Due to the poor construction of materials, the mattress began breaking down, contributing to significant back pain and loss of sleep within the past 14-months, well under the product’s warranty, and was releasing fiberglass particles into my home.

    On October 11, 2019, I purchased a new mattress to replace the faulty Zinus mattress, and began the claims process with Zinus, informing them in advance that their product was being removed from my home, along with screenshots of verification from my building management that the mattress would be removed (at my own expense), screenshots of my order (both the new mattress and of their product), pictures of the faulty mattress with the protector and tags, and information on the Zinus brand support system and separate mattress protector required to maintain warranty.

    The support representative did not review my submitted documentation, and responded with a canned general response asking for all of the information again, to which I requested further review. The representative “Michael” claimed he had reviewed the information and was aware of my request. I sent the original invoice purchase order as requested after twelve additional additional exchanges. Well after the mattress was recycled and removed from my home at my own expense (the company was aware of this), they requested additional photos of the mattress on 10/23/2019, days after removal.

    On they requested the same photos previously submitted for a third time, and I informed them I would be submitting a complaint due to the handling of their warranty and faulty product after their failure to acknowledge and address my prorated refund under warranty after several emails and (12) items of documentation submitted. After sixteen exchanges, the representative refused to submit my warranty claim because of the mattress removal from home—I believe they did this purposefully to avoid issuing the pro-rated refund. Hundreds of individuals have similar complaints with this product.

    I bought a Zinus twin mattress (Night Therapy 10" Supreme Pillow Top Spring Mattress - Twin) through Sam's Club online. It arrives rolled into a tight bundle, one unwraps the bundle and allows the mattress to "plump" into shape for 48-7s hours. One side of the mattress NEVER "plumped" and sags down about 2 inches. The mattress claims to be "very supportive." IT IS NOT SUPPORTIVE. I sank into the mattress right away. Aching back every morning.. I couldn't figure out how to file a return to Sam's Club, since I live about a hundred miles away with no way to transport a mattress. I left an unfavorable review on Sam's Club and Zinus contacted me, saying they would be happy to help me (they are not happy), since it was already past time to return it to Sam's Club.

    This mattress is under 10-year warranty. I filed a complaint with Zinus on June 20, 2019. It is now October 15, 2019. I have made at least 3 complaint tickets and there are currently 29 pages of emails between Zinus and myself, with multiple requests for pictures -- including shots with rulers, even though the sagging can plainly be seen without rulers. Each time I take a picture I have to take the bedding apart and put it back together, which includes the mattress warmer which must be fastened over the bottom of the mattress, so mattress must be turned over. This results in my having sciatica for at least 2 days following that. They refused to reply to my complaint to the Better Business Bureau. I have told them if they asked for another picture, I will sue them for their obstruction and refusal to deal with my complaint. They DON'T need another picture to see the sagging. And, yet, today they asked for another picture. Worst customer support ever!

    I ordered this mattress on September 3. As of September 28, FedEx tracking shows it has not even left the facility, so I’m guessing it won’t be arriving anytime soon. The website says that delivery will be 5-17 business days. In this day and age I can’t even imagine why it would take a month to receive a delivery. It’s not like it’s a custom made item. I will never order from this company again and if possible will cancel my order.

    Zinus fails on so many accounts - they did not deliver their product when they said they would (fine), but when asked for an update, their staff was anything but helpful. Asking me to do things I already did, making me wait 48 hours before a response. They raised their voice at me on the phone. My guests had to sleep on an air mattress because they missed their commitments, and their response was to give me a 10% discount and implied that's what I agreed to. They asked me to DM them on Instagram, which I did, to which they did not respond, and instead, they blocked me on Instagram.

    I don't think I've ever written a review before in my entire life. My experience with Zinus customer service, however, has been so frustrating and so disorganized that I feel the need to open this Pandora's Box. Before I begin, I want to say that I have not yet received my mattress so I can't comment on the actual product's quality. My good friend bought from Zinus and loves her mattress. It's also one of the cheapest options for a foam mattress out there, so overall probably a good deal. If I didn't think so I wouldn't be here writing this review, because I would have given up on the company a long time ago.

    That aside, though, I have had a thoroughly nightmarish experience with their customer service team. Three days after my expected delivery date went by the FedEx tracking page stopped updating altogether. I waited a few additional days, in case it was a glitch, but still no updates and no mattress. At that point, I contacted FedEx to see when the package would be arriving. They said it would come "tomorrow" for three consecutive days until they finally admitted the package had been lost (I could write a whole other review ranting about FedEx, but I won't bore you with that here). Throughout that entire week, from Monday-Friday (the week following the Wednesday the mattress was supposed to be delivered and the Friday that the tracking stopped updating), Zinus had no information for me. They told me to stay in contact with FedEx, because they had no idea what was going on.

    Finally, on that Friday, FedEx declared the package lost and I sent the FedEx Claim No. to Zinus. They said they would escalate the issue to their "Tier 2" team and get back to me within 2 days. They never did. I called again to check on the status. On the phone they once again told me to wait for a response from the Tier 2 team. This time I asked to talk to someone in charge of the case. They said no one was available but one of them would call me back in an hour. Spoiler alert: no one did. I called back 3 hours later and finally got a hold of someone handling my case, only to have them tell me, finally, that they thought the package was lost. They sent me an email telling me to "stand by" for the tracking information for a replacement mattress, which I thought was promising. Of course, it's been three days since then, and I've received nothing.

    Further correspondence with them has gotten me responses like "Please wait until the end of the day tomorrow for your tracking information" for three days straight. Long story short, their customer service blows. Big time. And if you made it to the end of this review without hating me (or at all), I commend you. I would hate me too if I saw me like this. TLDR Zinus customer service is destroying me day by day and plunging me into madness.

    Updated on 05/21/2020: We purchased 14” Cal King Zinus gel foam mattress about 8-9 months ago. Finding fitted sheets that fit and stay on this mattress has so far been impossible. We had to get suspenders for the sheets. Changing sheets is a huge pain. Try lifting this mattress and hooking up the suspenders when changing sheets. I wrote Zinus and “Angel” from Zinus customer service wrote back to go to a tailor and have custom sheets made! I’m writing Sams Club as well.

    This is the worst possible customer service response I could have imagined. We had 3-4 different fitted sheets from our old mattress we replaced as well as we’ve purchased a couple more sets from different places. The corners lift up when you’re sleeping in the mattress. The sheets clump up. The mattress is comfortable to sleep on but really heavy to move when changing sheets and having to lift mattress to get suspenders on sheet corners. Frustrated with Zinus lack of care with their product not being a market standard size and not being helpful with sheets not fitting!!!

    Original: We purchased a Zinus Cal King 12" gel foam hybrid mattress 2 months ago. We have 5-6 Cal King fitted sheet sets and none will stay on the ZInus mattress corners. When I contacted ZInus. They say my sheets (the Cal King) are the wrong size. First they said I needed a new mattress cover which we had bought brand new when the mattress was delivered. A Cal King cover. I usually have to pull the sheet corners back to cover the corners of the mattress at twice a night IF I don't want to sleep on crumpled up, wadded sheets. We have sheets from our old Cal King we got rid of when we purchased the ZInus mattress. Some are older than others and they all are different brand sheets bought at different online or local stores.

    The Zinus customer reps deflected any input from me on that maybe the Zinus mattresses need a "certain sheet" and I wrote to see if they'd recommend a manufacturer that fits their mattresses. But, got no help other than make sure I bought a 84" x 72" inch sheets which is silly. That's what all Cal King sheets are. So, we're still wondering how to solve this. We just ordered sheet corner suspenders to try...for both the sheets and the mattress cover. We never had this problem with our old mattress we just gave up. So far, not a big fan of Zinus customer service. The mattress sleeps pretty comfortable...although I find myself sweating more than I did with our older mattress. I picked out the mattress saying it had a cooling gel in it. But, hmmm. Not so much.

    I should have insisted on what I knew I really wanted. Like the mattress and frame, it is level firm just as I wanted, however, I wanted to order the taller frame and thicker mattress. Reason: All the blankets and coverlets that are made for the size mattress I have hang too low. Nothing fits without overhang flowing on the floor. I have to tuck it under or push the covers under the mattress, This has limited my options.. This happened because during ordering settings have a tendency to move from presets and or what you have chosen as I moved around the site making decisions. It was not till after the purchase did I realize the changes. I called immediately and they said it was already processed and could not be changed. Rather than go through the hassle Of returning I will keep this and purchase my next beds somewhere else.

    Purchased a mattress topper, something that's not very expensive but still supposed to be warranted through the company. Less than a day in I noticed the topper was defective with tears in the foam, so instantly I got the email address from the inside information. Needless to say they have done nothing but give me the runaround about replacing. I provided photos of the item and the online shipping and order info as they don't seem to ship receipts with online order. Finally after a week I get a response saying they would be glad to help but I needed to provide better info and more info, so again I sent the same information. They replied that they needed a receipt, so again I explained that my purchase order online was my receipt, and now it's been another week and to my dismay, they have yet to respond again.

    I have now since filed a complaint against the company with the BBB, not that it will do much good I'm sure, but whomever I am dealing with, does not respond to emails, and when they do they seem to repeat the same info. I have asked for a phone number to the company and they have failed to provide even that. Seems to me that if I could give them zero stars I certainly would. I don't think I have ever had an experience that was this bad regarding a warranty item ever in my life. And all I asked was for a simple replacement of an item that was under fifty bucks and they can't even do that. I definitely will never purchase anything that has their company name on it...

    Zinus has really decent products for the prices. Their mattresses have plenty of options and are really good. The biggest problem with Zinus if you buy direct, is they will ship thousands of dollars of furniture on Fedex without a signature required as part of an inclusive price. Almost all companies worldwide that ship merchandise with value over $100 will require a signature. In this case we bought about $4000 worth of furniture and it was all stolen because it was left in the driveway because nobody was home. Fedex is not liable, because Zinus has chosen to save a few dollars on shipping and enable Fedex to do this.

    Zinus also is assuming all risk that the customer will receive all goods. And legally they just didn’t understand that. There are no terms on their website or receipt when you checkout on their website. So essentially every time something like this happens, it is a failure to provide goods sold. And we spent weeks with their customer service and management explaining it. They continued to be stubborn and kept pointing at Fedex. In the end our credit card company just refunded the money and they have yet to change their policy. I’m sure all customers would pay an extra $20 for peace of mind. Please be careful if you are going to buy direct on their website. Hopefully you can find somewhere else to buy their product like Amazon.

When I called the company to ask these be mailed to me I was given the runaround and told that they couldn't verify that they were to be included. I provided pictures of the box showing that they were promised. I also provided pictures of the product number, the receipt of purchase and pictures of the instructions as requested and still I was refused the parts that are missing.

    Extremely disappointed. Bought the mattress, and in time, it is bent in the middle like no-one´s business. I went through the process, and it turns out that they say "they don´t want to provide me a shorter warranty period than the 10 years they offer." The label in the mattress states that it was made in November 2013. Therefore it is under warranty. But it is defective. But they "cannot" award the warranty. I have no way of finding the proof of purchase and the seller has even provided a statement that they cannot go back the 4 years that we need to process the replacement. I am not asking for money back. After a month of back and forths. So they don´t want to provide me "a shorter warranty than I deserve". They just refuse to provide any warranty at all.

    Do yourselves a favor and don't order from Zinus website! You can get their products elsewhere, even cheaper and immediate delivery or pick up in Walmart for example. I made my order on Thursday Feb 21. Only after ordering I read in the email that shipment will take 7 to 10 days and had seen the same platform at Walmart.

    So 2 days later seeing that the order status hadn't changed, I contacted customer service email. Then they magically provide a FedEx label, which only after contacting them appeared in my order account. Anyway, I couldn't cancel order because the label had been created, though there has never been any shipment history in 10 days!!! I have written to customer service a couple times about this issue and they keep redirecting me to this FedEx label number as if the order is indeed about to be shipped. They said it will take 1 to 3 business days for them to scan. Well it's now 10 days, 7 business days and nothing has changed.

    This was the first time I ordered from zinus and it's my last for sure! I have no idea if I'll ever received this frame and customer service hasn't helped at all even though I contacted them early.

    The Zinus return policy states, on their website, that the mattress can be returned within 100 days for a full return as long as there are no smells, stains, etc. There is a bolded sentence that states you have to contact them about a mattress that has been decompressed. It turns out, once you take it out of the box, they will not take it back. You have to find a place to donate it to and then send the donation receipt. While this seems like a environmentally friendly idea, there are very few (I haven't found any in my area) places that accept mattresses as a donation. The other option is to throw it into a garbage bin and take a picture of it in the bin to prove that you no longer have it in your possession. I wanted to post a free ad on Craigslist or other website and take a picture of it being driven off by a community member but that was not an option. This is just poor service. Bottom line, if you want to return the mattress, don't take it out of the box.

    “Thank you for contacting Zinus. For cleaning purposes, we recommend spot cleaning the cover with cold water and light detergent. Using a vacuum is not recommended as it can cause damage. For this reason unfortunately this is not covered by warranty." Honestly, I wasn’t fishing for a new mattress, I was just wanting an explanation about how a product 10 months old was literally falling apart when I lightly hand vacuumed it. I have a one bedroom apartment, exchanging that mattress would create more of a headache anyway. However, the response I got was a short, insensitive, and legal one regarding my dilemma and NOT one that should come from “customer service”.

    I mean this is a clear issue. If the mattress is so fragile that running a hand vac over it destroys it speaks volumes about the quality. Granted washing it, I would use light soap as they instructed, but just getting the dust and dander off of it with a hand vacuum not a full-sized one, shouldn’t damage it... Certainly not the way I witnessed. It goes without saying, That I am very disappointed, since I chose to go with the underdog in buying this mattress in the first place. I personally would recommend going with some of the more reputable manufacturers as I hear they stand by their warranties... More than likely because their product doesn’t fail like Zinus’s did for me. Buyer be very very wary!

    I purchased a bed from Zinus on Amazon in August. Two weeks after assembling the bed, I notice how poorly the materials have been machined. The three center support legs were poorly designed and could not properly hold the weight of two adults (less than 325 lbs) without loosening up due to a lack of support at the connection point. The bed dug into and permanently scarred my bamboo floors because the legs were angled during normal use. I rent my home, so now I will be out a security deposit, and a hefty one at that. Naturally, I went to get a refund and/ or replacement for the bed. Zinus answered me promptly at first, but when I provided proof of purchase they ghosted me. Two weeks pass, and at this point the legs at the foot of the bed literally snap, leaving the bed at 45 degree angle.

    At this point, I'm sleeping on the couch and contacting Zinus daily with no response. I decide to reach out to Amazon for help. They send out a replacement and demand that I disassemble and box up the other bed to have sent back. This is incredibly inconvenient as the bed is 80 lbs and 10 feet long when boxed and I did not have the materials lying around to complete this task. So I go through with all of it. Source a box, take it apart. In the process my stereo was damaged beyond repair. Technically my fault, but 100% related to me having to take this cumbersome, heavy bed apart to return a frame that has snapped in half...felt unnecessary to have to send it in, but I wanted to play ball so I could get the customer service I expected.

    Literally the day after I receive my replacement from Amazon, I hear back from Zinus and they say they're sending a replacement. I told them to cancel it, they said they couldn't, but that I could deny the package when it arrives. So I take a vacation day to intercept and deny the package. The package shows up a day late. I lost a vacation day based on their poor timing and problem solving. Meanwhile, Amazon sent UPS to pick up my return way earlier than they said they would and so I miss my window for the return pick up. So now I've got two massive boxes on my porch; one incoming, one outgoing. My house is so small that this was a big deal for my roommate and neighbors, not to mention myself.

    Zinus asks me to send the outgoing package to them direct and they'll refund me for the bed. I do this and now they're stiffing me, refusing to refund me. This customer service team is the epitome of poor online buying experiences. No storefront to drive the bed to and just get it all over with. This process has taken over a month and a half and I have still not received my refund and I'm giving up. I can't put into words how frustrating this entire experience has been and how much stress it has introduced into my life.

    I've spent hours on the phone, on customer service chats and dissembling and assembling this awful product. None of my qualms have been resolved in one or two correspondences. It is literally work to deal with this people. I highly recommend avoiding this company. They make poor to mediocre products and they do not have the infrastructure to take care of their customers when the inevitable happens and your product breaks or isn't what you expected. I'm giving the company's customer service a 1 star review, however, the product I purchased also gets 1 star due to the IKEA-like lack of quality. Poorly made, built to be replaced sooner rather than later.

    We purchased this and opened it to expand. We smelled the chemical smell, but thought it would clear up. 2 weeks later my daughter can't sleep on the mattress nor in the room that it is in. She has complained of headaches and this morning, had to go the E.R. for a breathing treatment which may have been triggered by the smell. I'm taking this back. I'm curious and very concerned about what that strange smell is.

    This memory foam mattress I purchased on Walmart.com for my new apartment immediately emitted an overwhelming chemical smell when released from its plastic packaging. The chemical release with odor ended up lasting for over SIX weeks even with windows open. I had sharp headaches, chest pain and my first ever bright red, peeling eye rashes with extreme swelling early mornings each time I tried to sleep on this mattress. I still had access to the studio I was moving out of, and had to sleep there for the entire month. Repackaging the product for Return is not possible, as it comes pressure sealed.

    I've purchased 2 items from them in the past, a bed frame and mattress, and they're decent quality for the price. Happy with the purchase overall. Ordered a couch as well but decided to cancel the order. The issues come when it's time to talk to customer service. I cancelled the 3rd item I purchased from them 3 days before it was set to ship out. They decided to ship it out anyways. Told me to refuse the shipment when it arrived and I would be refunded as soon as they confirmed it was heading back their way. Instead of waiting days for it to arrive from the other side of the country, I called FedEx and was able to refuse delivery before it even arrived at their delivery center. FedEx immediately emailed Zinus about the item returning to them. Zinus took 2 days to 'confirm' (finally look at the email and call to confirm) that the item was indeed returning.

    Don't give them too much credit, I called them and refused to let it go until they contacted FedEx directly. They now said a refund has been initiated, and funds will be back in my account in 2-3 business days. That was a full week ago. Thankfully I had email confirmation of that refund promise. Called once more to ask why I haven't seen the funds: "we'll have to submit your refund request to management for approval once we receive the item". Refused to acknowledge promised refund from previous discussion. Would not email me to give me a paper-trail of them submitting the (2nd) refund request or doing anything at all. Sent them one last strongly worded email describing everything, stating my intent to issue a charge-back in a week if they do nothing. Somehow I doubt I'll be able to get a dime from them without a charge-back.

    It's less than a year that my husband and I have been sleeping on this 12" foam mattress. Odor not bad upon opening and comfortable at first. Now 9 months later I'm waking up with backache and rolling into the middle of bed. The mattress has been turned around with no difference in sleep. My husband gets up during the night due to heat and sleeps on a 15 year old mattress in another room. Sorry we purchased this foam mattress.

    Here my history. I bought this Zinus Memory Foam mattress 12" on December 8th and was delivered by FedEx on December 19. My first red flag: The package was sended by Amazon RETURN CENTER (Can I assume was a product returned by somebody else?). Second red flag: The package was in a terrible condition. Third red flag: After opened the box and decompressed the mattress, came out a terrible odor and it smells really bad. My entire apartment smells of mold and mildew because of this mattress. I have almost a month (01/02/2019) and after several calls to Amazon finally they gonna pick up the mattress tomorrow. The mattress never took the size that suppose to be (12") and the mildew odor still terrible at home. Finally I'm really surprised Amazon still selling this brand. I wished read all reviews on a different websites before entering to this nightmare. I think Zinus should be investigate under The Consumer Protection Act.

    I ordered a bed frame and mattress thru Costco. It arrived on time but my room remodel wasn't done so it was stored in my garage. When I did finally get to installing the bed I was impressed by the clear instructions, ease of assembly, and quality of the product. All tools and fasteners required were included. There were no flaws in the materials. The mattress had a slight odor, which is mentioned in several other reviews, but it dissipated in a few hours, and it's winter here, windows closed. I'm a furniture engineer and appreciate well designed and manufactured product. I will recommend this to friends.

    I ordered a mattress during Zinus's Black Friday sale. I understand they got a higher volume of orders than they expected and shipping is taking long. BUT FedEx lost my package. Dealing with FedEx and Zinus has been a nightmare. In mid December I emailed Zinus after my order was a week past the delivery date with no tracking updates. That first customer service representative told me a new order would be sent to me and a new tracking number would be sent. After not getting a tracking number after 3 business days all my emails went unanswered.

    The following week I left voicemails after calling. None were returned. One call when I actually got through. That customer service rep told me there'd be nothing she could do until December 28th because that was 15 business days after my package stopped tracking. WTF. Who counts shipping days from when a problem occurs and not from when the package left the warehouse?

    I sent another email the following week and that customer service rep told me FedEx lost my package and they'd be sending out a new one and that I'd get the new tracking number sent to me in 3 business days tops. Now it's past three business days and again I have no tracking number. No one is returning my calls, picking up the phone, or returning my emails. Their customer service is a nightmare, there's a reason other mattresses of the same type cost more. It's probably because they pay and staff a competent customer service team.

    I ordered a king size bed from the company on November 29th. I have yet to receive it and today is December 20th. My credit card was charged. Every time I ask about my bed I'm told someone will email me. Now I think they've changed the settings so that whenever I call, their system requests that I leave a message. I did email their customer service department twice, as instructed on their website and during my 20 and 30 minute hold times, but I have yet to receive an email back. Please do not order from this company.
