What is the Construction?
It is a 10-inch latex mattress made from a blend of certified Talalay Latex, luxurious wool from New Zealand and organic cotton. It is a double-sided mattress that gives you two different firmness levels in the price of one.
On one side it is much firmer as compared to the other side. It is a good fit for people who want two different firmness levels in a single mattress, depending on their sleep patterns/positions.
Organic Cotton Top Covering
The cover is 100% organic cotton, which is soft and breathable. It gives you a lush feel as well as absorbs moisture to keep your body cool.
Different Latex Layers
As already mentioned, this unique organic mattress combines different layers.
The Comfort Layer
The first layer is a ‘comfort layer’, which is plush and luxurious, fit for those who prefer to have a subtle sinking feel while resting. It has 1.5” of Talalay latex, which gives a silky soft feel when touched.
The Compression Layer
The second is a compression layer, which is bouncy and made up of 3” of Talalay latex. This provides support during shifting sleep positions.
The Transition Layer
The third layer is a transition layer that is beneath the compression layer and composed of an additional 3” of Talalay latex, providing instant support to the body if you flip the mattress on the other side.
The Foundation Layer
The fourth is the foundation layer, which is 1.5” of gentle yet firm latex. On one side it acts as a sturdy base while on the other it acts as an ideal surface.
Construction rating: We have given a rating of 9.1 out of 10 to the construction of Zenhaven mattress.
What you will like about Zenhaven?
- If you are prone to allergies, then this hypoallergenic mattress is a good fit for you as Talalay latex prevents the growth of molds, fungi, bacteria or dust mites.
- Latex provides heat resistance due to its breathable, open cells. Additionally, the pinholes and wool layer enhance air-flow.
- With its two distinct firmness levels, you can easily select the side that suits you best depending on your sleeping habits.
- It comes with a 20-year warranty, which means that you will have an enjoyable sleep for at least 2 decades.
- It is fit for all kind of sleepers including back, side and stomach sleepers.
How Is the Support and Comfort?
Checking the comfort and support level of Zenhaven mattress took us some time. The good thing about it is that the level of comfort and support can be adjusted to the individual’s sleeping positions and requirements.
As the mattress has two different firmness sides, you can choose the one which fits you best, depending on your sleeping requirements. The Zenhaven Talalay latex offers a good level of comfort because of its contours to the body shape.
Fits different sleeping positions
If you like plush and softer mattress then you should select the softer side. It is divided into 5 zones with varied latex layers to support the different parts of the body from head to toe. The firmer side is a better option for those who are overweight and need body support while sleeping.
Easy Motion Transfer
Easy Motion transfer allows you to turn and change sleeping position while sleeping without disturbing your partner. You can easily reposition and enjoy a comfortable sleep without moving too much.
Our team found that regardless of whether you sleep on the side, back, or stomach, the Zenhaven had good support, but it felt ideal for back and stomach.
Comfort and Support rating: We give 9.0 out of 10 in rating to the comfort and support of Zenhaven.
Does This Mattress Sleep Cool?
Coolness and breathability are essential for your body to relax and thoroughly rejuvenate itself during sleep. First, it has wool that possesses the amazing quality of temperature regulation where it helps transfer body heat and moisture along every fiber and releases it into the environment which keeps your body cooler and drier during sleep.
Then there are latex layers. The latex is generally considered breathable because its cells are 50% larger and open as compared to traditional memory foam mattresses. This allows the easy flow of air through it.
The cotton covering adds to its breathability, which wicks away any moisture from your skin and activates its natural cooling system. During the testing, no team member experienced overheating or sweating.
Cooling Rating: We give 9.3 out of 10 cooling rating to Zenhaven Mattress.
How Is the Edge Support?
If you are sharing a bed with your partner using the complete flat area of the mattress considering edge support is of significant importance. Foam mattresses usually fail to meet the standard support provided by the traditional spring mattress.
We tested Zenhaven by lying near the mattress edge of the luxury soft layer first. We experienced a slight sinkage, but it also provides good edge support. It will give the user the ability to sleep on 100% of the surface without feeling like rolling down, but sitting on the edge is not very satisfying. But then you have to remember that these mattresses are designed for sleeping and not sitting.
Then with the mattress turned to test the gentle firm layer, we tested the edge support. It still provided edge support and didn’t give the feeling of falling off over the edge during sleep. The bounce on this side due to latex allowed easy shifting of sleep positions. A slight compression was experienced, but not too much to make us feel that we would fall off the edge.
Edge Support Rating: We give 8.2 out of 10 Edge Support rating to Zenhaven mattress.
Is There Motion Transfer?
Motion transfer is an important factor to consider for your mattress when you have to share your bed with a sleeping partner. If the mattress facilitates motion transfer, a slight move can cause sleep disruptions and irritability.
The motion transfer was checked for both the softer and the firmer sides of the mattress. Since Zenhaven mattress doesn’t use any coils and is all latex mattress, the motion transfer experienced between partners was very minimal.
Motion transfer rating: We give 9.0 out of 10 motion transfer rating to the Zenhaven Mattress.
Is This Mattress Good for Sex?
An ideal mattress for sex should provide a medium firm level of support, resilience, and edge support and should not make noise. It is a good choice for romantic encounters and sex because it has all these qualities.
Talalay latex is very responsive, provides a medium level of firmness and bounce (unlike memory foam) and is completely quiet. This makes the mattress very romance friendly and gives it a nice supportive feel.
Sex rating: We give a sex rating of 8.9 out of 10 to Zenhaven mattress.
How Firm Is It?
When you shop for a mattress online, the most difficult decision is to choose the mattress with right firmness level. The Zenhaven somewhat solves this problem by offering two distinct firmness levels on either side of the mattress. There are sewn labels on both sides, which indicate the firm and soft sides for easy identification.
The firmness is usually measured on the firmness scale from 1 – 10 with 10 being the firmest. Our team has given the 6.5 firmness rating to Zenhaven for the firm side and a 5.0 firmness rating for the softer side.
The gentle firm side is nearly 18% firmer than the softer side which is due to the two middle latex layers. So, one side has a medium firm feel and the other has a medium soft feel. You can enjoy two types of firmness in the price of one.
Firmness rating: We give firmness rating of 6.5 out of 10 to firm side while a 5.0 out of 10 to the soft side.
How Durable Is This Mattress?
Natural American Talalay latex is considered the most durable material in the industry. It provides support, comfort and unprecedented durability among other mattresses.
It provides 20 years of warranty to enjoy organic sleep. It will not break down, lose its shape or sag during this period. This means that your investment will pay off quite well in the long run.
Durability rating: We give a durability rating of 9.6 out of 10 to the Zenhaven mattress.
Where Is It Made?
The Zenhaven Talalay Latex mattress is a genuine product that is handmade in the US without using any foam with a petroleum base. It is manufactured with the finest sourced latex, wool and cotton material to provide you with the right comfort, luxury, and durability.
It is a truly eco-friendly mattress that does not mix the organic and synthetic substances to create a product like other companies who then attach organic labels to their products.
This is an original organic mattress that is composed of minimally processed latex taken from real tropical trees. Instead of using artificial fire retardants, the Zenhaven uses flame retardant 100% organic wool, which helps it comply with high safety standards. The company tries to get as many raw materials from the US as possible, which helps lower the cost of the mattress.
Does It Have Any Unpleasant Smell?
The latex is a 100% organic material which comprises non-toxic chemicals and natural substances. Generally, latex mattresses do not have the bad smell in them. There can only be a minor lingering new bed smell that comes from the manufacturing process, latex and other aiding materials used during its production, but it does not produce any sort of harmful gases in the air.
Additionally, it is not sealed nor compressed like other mattress brands so you do not experience any kind of off-gassing upon the installation of the mattress. Our team didn’t notice or experience much unpleasant odors during the testing process or when unpacking the mattress.
Odor rating: Our team gives 8.8 out of 10 Off-gassing rating to the Zenhaven mattress.
Is It Good for Heavier People?
Yes, it is a good choice for the heavy people, since Zenhaven mattress is 10 inches in width and it uses good quality materials, it is recommended for heavy people. However, the support it provides to heavy people varies with their sleeping position.
For the heavyweight side and stomach sleepers, it offers a good level of support while for back sleepers it is a very good option in terms of support. Heavyweight people can use the firmer side of the mattress to get optimal support levels during sleep.
It provides a good support level for heavier people: One of our team members who weighs about 253 lbs felt well supported while sleeping on the firmer side of the mattress to limit sinking in it.
Is It Good for Side Sleepers?
Back and stomach sleepers need a mattress that is firm and supportive. These kinds of sleepers should consider the firm side of the mattress. Although the experience of people with Zenhaven mattress may be different, the mattress manufactured from latex is known to provide a good support to back and side sleepers.
The Talalay latex mattress has uniformity, which is suitable for back and pressure point relief. It also does a good job of providing support to the natural curve of the body for side sleepers. If you are a stomach sleeper, this mattress is still a good choice for you. Stomach sleepers with heavy body weight such as 230 pounds or more may get enough support, but for stomach sleepers who have a body weight of 130 pounds or less may find it uncomfortable due to its firmness.
Eventually, the choice of the mattress depends on the individual requirements and the ability of the mattress to support your spine.
Our Verdict: Our Zenhaven mattress testing for both back and stomach sleepers showed that firmer side of the mattress is better for them.
Is It Good for Back and Stomach Sleepers?
