Disclosure, those of you who knew me from Pittsburgh, I must admit something – Vera is gone.
It was a good few years, but it was time. Vera (my Vera Wang pillow top mattress from da burgh) was ready to retire. To make a long story short, old age is clearly catching up on me. I run a lot and it’s taking a toll on my legs and back, and having a saggy mattress that was folding up like a taco when I snuggled into her wasn’t doing my sleep any favors. It was time to move on to something a little more modern and shall I admit, firm?
The cool thing about 2018 is that a lot of products are direct-to-consumer now. Gone are the days of heading to mattress shops to lay on 20 different versions until you overpay for some lumpy coils that will break down in a couple years. Now you can cut out the middle man (sorry!) and even buy direct from Amazon.
It’s really incredible to think that you can order and have shipped to your home (in a box!) a mattress in 48 hours from the Internet that is really a reasonable price. You can even order those new sheets and cozy towels to match (Brooklinen).
Who needs to even leave their house these days?
Well you won’t once you uncurl these new mattresses from Zinus. These fun boxed mattresses are one of the top ranked on Amazon and are still under $500 (for a California King!).
How it works
First – Zinus memory foam is the new way to go. All this bio foams are eco-friendly (CertiPUR-US® Certified).
Then think firm or soft. If you want something for your aging back like me, the firm is still cozy. Also the Green Tea mattress comes with pressure relief. Think improve sleep efficiency and alleviate aches and pains.
Then Green Tea or Cooling Gel Foam. Hard decisions here people. Cooling Gel (what I went with) helps to regulate your temperature through the night so you don’t wake up a swampy mess. Seriously though, we don’t like air conditioning and we love our down comforter. I have to admit I wake up a sweaty disaster sometimes and I’m not even near menopause. Since we got this cooling gel foam, it hasn’t happened #truestory.
Does it really come in a box?
Sure does – see proof.
Still hesitant to buy a mattress off the internet that arrives in a box?
Don’t be – you have up to 100 days to test out this new Zinus bad boy – for a full refund. That’s right – as long as it doesn’t have any weird smells or stains, you can arrange for a FedEx pick up and return.
How “cool” is that?

I was provided with a complimentary mattress in exchange for this post – but all opinions are my own (and I’m sleeping like a baby). Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com.
