The mattress rises to about 10 inches in the middle, but the corners stay partly compressed with obvious separation between the foam layers. It looks nothing like the square cornered, tall mattress in the picture. This is after over a week, not just initially. Having smaller, sloping corners is a detriment to its appearance and usability. The middle is comfortable to sleep on. Just wish it was as represented.

Zinus Night Therapy Green Tea Zest 12" Memory Foam Mattress arrives in a large box ready to use. The box is a little awkward to handle without someone to help, but certainly not more than a regular mattress. The mattress is tightly rolled in a clear wrap, so be very careful when opening the box with scissors or a knife. Upon unwrapping, the mattress begins to expand pretty quickly. Within a few days, it is completely expanded (although I would follow the 72 hour rule before actually using). I did not have any real issues with odor, but we left in a well ventilated area until ready to use. My son loves his new mattress. We have all taken turns testing it out, and it is quite firm with just the right softness. We have already ordered another for another bed in our home. For the price and delivered to your door, this is a win-win!

Alright everyone I want to first say this is probably the most comforting memory foam mattress I’ve had BUT I have to put my AC temp down to 67 degrees every night to prevent myself from sweating. If you don’t put your air to a cooler temp you will wake up covered in sweat. Overall shipping only took 5 days to get it in SC. I just wish the developers made this mattress with air ventilation somehow to keep us from getting so darn hot.

Ok, so it was delivered and I needed help bring it in because it is heavy. We’ll, I’m old so it was heavy for me, but, we took it out of the bag and we have it 2 days yo expand which it did evenly. It took me only 30 minutes to assemble the bed frame, and we set it up in the bedroom. It isn’t soft or stiff but took us about 4 days to get completely used to it. I sleep on my side and no problemo, it is confortable and no smell came out from it.

I love this mattress. I needed something that would ship quick, be comfortable and be easy enough for a single person to unpack and set-up. The instructions said it required two people, but since I purchased the queen size, it was manageable with one person. It's really comfortable too. I was pleasantly surprised and so glad I went with this mattress.

I really like the firmness and comfort of this mattress. We kept the box spring from our old regular mattress set and placed this on top of it. The con is that it moves when you touch it. I bought some wide double stick tape to place on the top of the box spring to hold the mattress in place. Have not had the chance to put it on yet so not sure if it works but keep this in mind when buying.

Received mattress two days early which was ok but sometimes that may not be the case as it could interrupt your schedule. Unpacked the mattress and let it sit for 48 hours. No smell of foam what so ever. Mattress is firm but conforms to your body. I had no trouble sleeping on my side or back. No stiffness in my shoulders in the morning which I had with our pillow top mattress we replaced.

This is my first experience with a memory foam mattress and not sure I will be able to go back to a traditional spring mattress at this time. It comes in a box, which I didn't expect for starters and essentially vacuum sealed, which was great as it was delivered on the uncovered section of my porch on a rainy day, but the mattress stayed dry. It will definitely take more than one person to move around and the box indicates that. The mattress will take time to flatten out after you open it, but laying on it one night will take care of that. The first night it felt too firm for my liking, but it was new mattress experience for me. After the first night though, I am all in, it is firm, but not too firm and it doesn't make the same noise as a traditional mattress, which is nice because I am known to switch sides a lot. However, I have found myself not tossing and turning as much as normal either. This is a great mattress that I would recommend and at a very reasonable price to match.

bought this for 15 year old son along with a platform steel bed from sam's. Mattress came rolled up in a rectangular box which freaked us out a bit because we had never seen this done before. Plus, when we opened the box and unrolled the mattress, it was about 3 inches high. A note included said to let it rest 24-48 hours to allow it to grow to full size...It did just that. :) My son says the mattress is very comfortable.

I ordered the Zinus 12" Green Tea Memory Foam Full Mattress for our grandkids room for him to sleep on when he stays over. I have not received the box spring yet, so we put it on a gueen box spring that we already had. The mattress comes in a box rolled up inside a plastic sleeve. It is quite easy to unpack and "release". I would say that within 24 hours the mattress had fully returned to the correct shape. It has been 48 hours now and it is measuring at 11" thick. It has a very soft mattress cover. The mattress is firm, but soft enough to conform to your body. I don't really notice a scent associated with the mattress. This will be a perfect mattress for the grand and for guests to sleep on.
