This Zinus memory foam queen mattress — down to $148 — is a Sleep Week steal
Rise and shine! Oh, you're already awake — I just wanted to make sure, seeing as it's National Sleep Awareness Month. In fact, it's officially Sleep Awareness Week. Each year, as we turn the clocks forward (thus, missing out on an hour of precious snooze time), the National Sleep Foundation encourages prioritizing healthy slumber habits even more than usual. Because of this, many retailers slash prices on all things bedding, meaning it's a fab time to scoop up deep discounts. One of the best I, a professional deals hunter, am seeing? The top-rated Zinus Green Tea Mattress for a mere $148 at Amazon. No, that's not the price of a twin — that's for a queen!

Even at its full price of $200, the 8-inch, queen-size version of this memory foam mattress would be an absolute steal. That said, its current price is also an all-time low, so you can't do better than that. For comparison, this mattress with similar specs costs more than $200, and other brands can cost thousands. (Note: There are five sizes and four thicknesses to choose from — prices vary.)
Remember The Princess and the Pea? Sure, it's just a fairy tale, but a restless night from sleeping on a bad mattress is all too real. If you're ready to upgrade your current sleep situation without spending a month's income or more, thousands of shoppers swear by the Zinus Green Tea Mattress.
"Green tea?" you ask. No, this mattress isn't the color of matcha, but it is infused with all-natural green tea and purified charcoal, which help keep things smelling fresh. Speaking of freshness, a top layer of gel memory foam contributes to a cooler feel, so if you're someone who experiences night sweats (especially with the warmer months approaching), stuffiness just might become a thing of the past.
As far as firmness is concerned, the brand labels this mattress as "medium" — a thick base layer of foam offers sturdiness and support, while the middle comfort foam layer is designed to conform to your body. (The top layer is that aforementioned cooling gel memory foam.) Together, the three can help alleviate pressure from your joints so you wake up with fewer aches and pains.
A fan club of more than 56,000 Amazon customers adores this supportive sleep surface.
"I love this mattress!" exclaimed a shopper who bought it for their guest room. "My normal aches and pains (I'm 51 and ... have typical arthritic pain) have all but resolved. When I fall asleep, I stay asleep, and wake up rested and comfortable. I don't want to move back to my actual bedroom! I told my husband he needs to give this mattress a try. ... If he approves, we are going to buy a king to replace our very old, uncomfortable mattress. If he doesn't … well, he will be sleeping alone for the rest of his life because I can't bear to go back to sleeping on anything else!"
"Really cooling, which was one of the reasons I wanted this bed," shared another fan. "I have had others that were comfortable, but I would wake up in the middle of the night sweating. Not once has that happened with this bed."
"Very comfy mattress," raved a zealous Zinus buyer. "No weird smells. I like its firmness; feels a little too firm when you lie down, but then it accommodates to your body. ... This is for my 19-year-old daughter, and I like it more than my Tempur-Pedic! I definitely would buy this one again."
"[I've] been sleeping on it for about two months," shared a mostly satisfied slumberer. "Very comfortable. The mattress expanded virtually right away. It's perfectly flat at the corners. My only very minor complaint is when I sit on the edge to put on a shoe, it sinks too much. However, that has no effect on the comfort and support while resting or sleeping."
"I must admit, I was initially skeptical about purchasing a mattress that arrived in a box," confessed a convert. "However, I stand corrected. This mattress, costing only a quarter of what we paid for our previous one, is significantly more comfortable. ... It's our first experience with a memory foam mattress, and we're quite pleased with it. The only downside is its tendency to envelop you, making it difficult to get out of bed; of course, at my age of 62, it is hard getting up anyway."
