Best for: Deep 4-inch cushion, heavier sleepers
The thick-foam value play — 4 inches of Zinus's famous green-tea foam for less than the other 4-inch topper we compare.
Zinus sells more foam mattresses than almost anyone on Amazon, and this topper is that same green-tea-infused memory foam, 4 inches deep. It is the lower-priced of the two 4-inch toppers we compare, and heavier sleepers who bottom out thinner toppers get real depth here. The green-tea infusion tempers the new-foam smell; expect softer, less durable foam than the premium tiers.
