A Full Size Mattress

The best mattress is different for everyone, thanks to our varying sleep needs and comfort preferences. Your best mattress should support your back while also offering enough cushion to ease pressure points—and it should be durable enough for you to sleep comfortably on it for several years.

Learn about the pros and cons of each type of mattress so you can choose what type is right for you.

Memory Foam
Memory foam mattresses have existed for decades, but their popularity exploded with the bed in a box trend. Now, customers can buy a bed and have it shipped to their doorstep without ever leaving their house.

A memory foam mattress contains at least two layers of foam—a comfort layer of memory foam and a bottom layer of sturdy poly-foam. A transition layer improves the bed’s support and comfort while contributing to weight distribution.

Memory foam is known for its responsive pressure relief, making it an excellent choice for a sleeper with chronic back or hip pain, or another health condition. The bed’s elasticity also allows it to move with an adjustable bed frame, which can ease health concerns such as chronic pain or restless legs.

The main problem with traditional memory foam is how it can hold onto body heat, causing night sweats. Many companies address this problem with gel memory foam or other infusions (copper, graphite, charcoal) to wick away heat. Other cooling technologies include advanced open-cell memory foam and cutouts in the mattress for added breathability.

Latex
Latex foam adapts to your body much like memory foam and can bend with an adjustable base. Unlike memory foam, latex has an inherently firm feel and is naturally more springy.

If you want an eco-friendly mattress, latex is an excellent choice as little to no pollutants are produced in its creation. Manufacturers create latex foam by harvesting rubber sap and processing it with the Dunlop or Talalay method. Talalay latex takes extra steps to develop, so it’s more expensive, while Dunlop has a firmer feel than Talalay.

Natural latex mattresses are one of the more expensive bed options. Many owners find the price fair, as a latex mattress can last between 10 to 20 years—though it’s often wise to replace one after 10 years for hygienic reasons.

Innerspring
Innerspring mattresses were once the most popular mattress type. Inside the mattress is a system of coils, arranged to keep a sleeper elevated on top of the bed. The coils make it easier for heat to escape the mattress.

Innersprings are inexpensive and available at most mattress and furniture stores—making them a convenient option for someone who needs a new bed immediately. Many owners, however, find an innerspring mattress can’t contour to the body for full pressure relief. Innersprings with plush pillow tops or Euro tops can provide more cushion, but you may find a memory foam, latex, or hybrid mattress offers a better night’s sleep.

Hybrid
Manufacturers borrow elements of innerspring and foam mattresses to create a hybrids. A true hybrid contains at least 2 inches of foam (often memory foam, sometimes latex or poly-foam) on top of a coil support system.

The support coils allow air to circulate better than it would in a foam bed, while the top layer of foam provides more pressure relief than the average innerspring mattress. Most hybrids use pocketed coils, with all the coils individually wrapped to better absorb and isolate motion.

Yes, there’s also the full XL size, which adds an extra 5 inches to the mattress’s length.

You may also see a standard full size mattress referred to as a “double.”

When shopping for a mattress, look for:

• Durable materials: A foam’s density can affect its durability, as low-density foams break down quicker than high-density foams. As for mattress coils, thin coils tend to sag quicker than thicker coils, as thin coils are less firm.
• The right firmness level:If you sleep on a mattress that’s too soft or too firm, your spine may shift out of alignment. Side sleepers need mattresses with a soft to medium feel. Medium-firm to firm mattresses suit most back sleepers. Stomach sleepers need mattresses with a firm feel. If you move between sleeping positions, look for a medium mattress.
• Temperature regulation: Mattresses can trap body heat, leaving you waking up in a sweat. Many manufacturers add cooling gels, copper, graphite, and charcoal to draw away and disperse body heat.
• Hypoallergenic properties: Allergens and dust mites can penetrate a mattress if there’s only a thin comfort layer on top. Thick, dense foam layers make it more difficult for pests and allergens to settle inside the mattress.
• An extensive sleep trial period and inclusive warranty:You may need a month to adjust to your mattress, as your body needs time to adapt to the different levels of comfort and support your new mattress offers. Sleep trials give you the chance to see if a mattress feels right after the adjustment period. Warranties protect a customer from structural defects—we recommend warranties that cover sagging under an inch.
• A good price:Shoppers on a restricted budget should consider an online mattress. Online companies sell direct-to-consumer rather than utilizing a store and salespeople.

We offer a 100-night sleep trial, starting from the day the mattress arrives at your home, so you can see if the mattress is comfortable for you. You should feel adjusted to your Zoma Mattress within 30 days; but if you find the bed uncomfortable, let us know, and we can process your return and issue a full refund.

If your mattress is past its sleep trial date and you can’t return it, you can still change its feel with a mattress topper. Toppers add a few extra inches of soft or firm foam, letting you customize a mattress’s feel to your preferences.

Your current mattress can feel too soft or too firm if you’ve changed your sleeping position. If so, you may need to buy a new mattress or adjust its feel with a topper.

If your mattress is old, it may grow softer or firmer as its materials wear out. Toppers can make an old mattress feel comfortable long enough for you to save up for a replacement.

Yes, your body type can influence how the Zoma Mattress feels. Heavier people place more pressure on a mattress, compressing its comfort layers. Lightweight people put less pressure on a bed and need a soft mattress to fully conform to their body.

Our 100-night sleep trial lets you ensure the Zoma Mattress feels comfortable and can provide a good night’s sleep.

Many couples will feel cramped on a full size mattress, so we don’t recommend it. The smallest mattress size we recommend for couples is a queen, which gives each partner about 30 inches of space.

Researchers have found medium-firm mattresses are the best mattresses for soothing back pain. These mattresses offer extra support to promote healthy spinal alignment but still offer enough cushioning to alleviate pressure in the shoulders, hips, and lower back. We also recommend searching for a mattress with zoned support technologies, as these are designed to offer relief for sleepers with back pain.

No, the Zoma Mattress cannot be flipped. Like most memory foam mattress manufacturers, we build our Zoma Mattress with the sturdiest layer on the bottom and the most comfortable layer on top. Flipping the mattress means changing the bed’s feel and damaging the bed’s support and comfort capabilities.

A few memory foam mattresses can be flipped; however, they often have different firmnesses on each side. Check the mattress company’s website to see if your mattress is flippable.

No. We strongly suggest you do not keep any memory foam mattress on top of a box spring, as these mattress accessories cannot offer the consistent support a memory foam mattress needs. The coils inside a box spring are often too far apart, causing the foam to sink between the springs, resulting in premature sagging.

Instead, we recommend a solid or slatted bed frame for your Zoma Mattress. A solid foundation may prevent excess heat from escaping while keeping your mattress on slats lets airflow through the bottom and limits overheating. Just make sure the slats are no more than 3 inches apart—any wider and the mattress’s base may dip between the slats, stretching it out of shape.

Memory foam mattresses like the Zoma often last up to 10 years—we provide a 10-year warranty because we believe in our mattress’s durability.

You can stretch out your mattress’s use by taking care of it with regular cleanings and rotations. Vacuum your mattress often to prevent debris and dust from accumulating—otherwise, your body can press the debris into the mattress, which changes the mattress’s feel and reduces its support. Rotating your mattress every three months smoothes out the wear and tear you place on the bed.

We make each Zoma Mattress to order in the USA, using CertiPUR-US® certified foams. CertiPUR-US® is an independent organization that verifies foams are manufactured without ozone depleters, formaldehyde, mercury, lead, heavy metals, and PBDEs, TDCPP, or TCEP flame retardants.

A standard full size mattress is 54 inches wide by 75 inches long, or 134.5cm by 190.5cm.

Yes, a “double bed” is another name for a full size mattress.

A queen size mattress measures 60 inches wide by 80 inches long, which is about 5-6 inches of difference in both width and length compared to a full size mattress. While a full bed could fit an average-sized couple, most couples prefer a queen size bed for more personal space.

Yes, you can, but queen size sheets are slightly longer and wider, so you might have issues with bunching or the sheets slipping off. Full size sheets aren’t hard to find, so stick with the sheet size to match your mattress if possible.
