Zinus Green Tea
Score: 76/100
FDW Gel Memory Foam Mattress
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Zinus 6-inch Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress offers an affordable, CertiPUR-US-certified foam core with green-tea and charcoal infusion for odor control and airflow. Its thin profile and limited weight capacity restrict suitability for heavier users. Perfect for budget-conscious back sleepers in tight spaces like twins or bunk beds.
The FDW 12-inch gel memory foam mattress delivers effective gel cooling, a high-density base for stable support, and a washable stretch cover while remaining lightweight. Off-gassing odor and delayed corner expansion are notable trade-offs, and edge support is limited. Great for back and stomach sleepers who prioritize cooling and easy handling.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Product pages and retailer descriptions emphasize reliable pressure relief for back sleepers, cooling benefits from green-tea/charcoal infusion and open-cell design, and strong value thanks to the 10-year warranty and CertiPUR-US certification. No independent editorial reviews were found, but the professional messaging positions the mattress as a solid entry-level option.
User-generated feedback is not present in the source data; however, manufacturer messaging suggests common praise for odor-control, quick setup, and comfortable support, with the only noted drawback being the initial expansion period.
“shapes up just fine”
“corners may not fully expand initially”
Professional reviewers commend the FDW mattress for its effective gel‑based cooling, balanced medium‑firm feel, and CertiPUR‑US certification, noting it delivers solid support without excessive sinkage and fits within the 12‑inch height limit of most platform and adjustable bases. They also point out its budget‑friendly positioning as a viable alternative to higher‑priced luxury foams, though edge support remains typical of all‑foam designs.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the mattress for its straightforward unboxing, quick fit on various frames, and the cooling, medium-firm comfort that eases pressure points. Common complaints focus on the initial corner expansion delay and the need to air out the mattress for 72 hours to eliminate off-gassing odors.
