Zoma Mattress Reviews
The Zoma Mattress is an all-foam mattress among the likes of similar online beds like Nectar Mattress or Layla. In fact, we think it’s more affordable than your average bed-in-a-box mattress, and it offers a slightly different memory foam design (especially in its top layer ) that targets your pressure points in a more unconventional way.
We’ll discuss more about the bed’s construction below, along with its firmness analysis, who we think it’ll suit best, and of course, the cost. Continue on below for our Zoma Mattress reviews, or use our jump-to links below to skip around the sections.

If you’re familiar with The Slumber Yard, you know we’re big fans of video. We believe it’s the best way to actually see and learn about online beds. Here’s our review video of the Zoma Mattress.
Zoma Mattress Reviews Construction
Zoma is an all-foam bed that is comprised of three different layers. In that respect, the bed has a very standard construction. There are dozens of foam beds online that are made up of three different layers and total the same thickness. However, if you take a look under the hood, the Zoma Mattress actually has some unique layers. Here’s what’s inside the bed starting from the bottom.
- Support+ Foam – This is the foundation for the mattress. It’s a thick, high-density foam that provides stability for the entire bed.
- Reactiv Foam – This is a proprietary foam that acts as a transition in the bed. It’s designed to be responsive and supportive.
- Triangulex Memory Foam – This is what makes the Zoma mattress unique. The top layer contains hundreds of small triangular segments designed to deliver pressure relief and support exactly where you need it.
Mattress Cover
Wrapping the bed is a sleek, breathable fabric cover that is supposed to wick heat and moisture away from your body. As a side note, the cover on the Zoma Mattress is one of the cooler ones we’ve ever seen. It really does make the bed look like it belongs in the home of a famous athlete.
Although the cover technically is removable, we wouldn’t recommend doing so. If the cover happens to get dirty, just spot clean it with warm water and soap instead of unzipping it and throwing it in your washer.
Zoma Feel & Firmness Analysis
Although the top layer on the Zoma Mattress has some unique characteristics, let’s not forget that it’s still technically memory foam. Accordingly, the bed has a memory foam feel.
However, it’s not the standard memory foam feel you’re used to. We say that for two reasons. First, you can slightly feel the tiny ridges from the triangular segments under your shoulders, neck and legs. Second, the memory foam doesn’t quite hug or wrap your body as much as the memory foam layers in the Nectar mattress, for example. You can still definitely tell you’re laying on memory foam, it’s just not quite as dense or distinct. Here’s a closer look at the special memory foam top layer.
As far as firmness goes, we think the bed lands near the center of the firmness scale. We give it about a medium rating. The bed is soft and comfortable, yet it also provides the necessary support to keep your spine properly aligned.
Keep in mind, firmness is a personal subject. The Zoma Mattress will feel different to various sized individuals. For example, heavier people will likely think the Zoma bed belongs closer to a medium-soft rating, while more petite individuals will think it lands closer a medium-firm.
What Does The Zoma Mattress Feel Like?
Overall, it’s a very comfortable bed. We think most people will really like it. Our testing team sure did. The other nice thing is that there’s really not much resistance when you go to switch sleeping positions, which is uncommon for beds with memory foam top layers.
Temperature
Although Zoma, like most online mattress companies, plays up how their bed sleeps cool, we give it a temperature neutral designation. This means we think the bed itself won’t be the primary reason why you sleep warm or cool. There are only a handful of beds that we’ve tested that we would consider cooling mattresses.
Temperature regulation is a very sensitive and tricky subject. The truth is, once you get passed all the marketing jargon, there are often a multitude of external factors that also affect sleeping temperature. For example, the climate you live in, the insulation in your home and the pajamas you wear to bed all play a role in how warm or cool you sleep.
Is Zoma A Good Mattress For Couples?
Yes, the Zoma Mattress will certainly work for folks who share a bed with a partner or pet. We say that because the mattress provides pretty decent edge support and also does a good job of limiting motion transfer. These are two important factors for couples in particular.
Motion Transfer
First, the motion transfer subject is important because no one wants to be jolted awake every time their significant other switches positions or gets up to grab a glass of water. If you sleep with someone else, you’ll want a bed that is able to deaden the movement that originates from your partner. Luckily, the Zoma Mattress does this very well. We don’t envision couples having any issues in this regard.
Edge Support
Moving on, the Zoma Mattress is fairly solid around the perimeter. Sure, coil beds are usually a little better when it comes to edge support, but Zoma definitely can hold its own. Again, we don’t see any major issues in this regard. Edge support is especially notable for couples who share a smaller size mattress like a full or queen. The last thing you want is a mattress that significantly compresses around the perimeter, which forces both people to hug the middle of the bed.
Ideal Sleeping Positions For The Zoma Mattress
To put it simply, we think the Zoma Mattress is ideal for sleepers in all positions. We say that because the bed achieves an excellent balance between support and comfort.
Body Type Analysis
Zoma Mattress Pricing
The Zoma mattress falls just below the industry average in terms of pricing. The primary five sizes (twin-king) fall below the $1,000 mark. All in all, Zoma is about $100-$200 cheaper than popular bed-in-a-box brands such as Casper, Leesa and Purple. Here’s how MSRP breaks down by size.
| Size | Price (MSRP) |
|---|---|
| Twin | $550 |
| Twin XL | $650 |
| Full | $750 |
| Queen | $850 |
| King / Cal King | $950 |
| Split King | $1,200 |
Plus, the company regularly runs sales and promotions, which lowers the price of the mattress even more. Typically, you can expect to receive at least $50-$100 off your purchase. Check the green discount box located on your screen to see what kind of savings you can score in real time. Chances are there is a coupon code or promo code you can use to save some money.
Zoma Mattress Review Verdict
There’s a lot to like about the Zoma mattress. The bed has a comfortable yet fairly unique memory foam feel, it’s affordable (queen size less than $800 after discounts) and it properly accommodates sleepers in all positions. Really, the only downside you can point to is that the mattress is probably not the best choice for shoppers seeking a bed with a specific firmness profile (i.e. extra plush or super firm).
Now as far as whether the bed truly “facilitates faster muscle recovery, improves athletic performance and promotes deeper sleep” is another question. In all honesty, what we think the company is trying to say is that their mattress will help you get better sleep, which in turn will naturally help with recovery, performance, reaction times, stamina, etc. The company is not saying that if you sleep on their bed, you’ll be exposed to a magic elixir and you’ll wake up and be able to run like Usain Bolt.
With that in mind, we feel comfortable saying that yes, the triangular sectional design and proprietary foams may help athletes get better sleep (especially if you’re currently sleeping on an older bed), which will obviously lead to improved performance throughout the day.

Zoma Hybrid Mattress Review
As we mentioned above, the Zoma Hybrid is a new addition to the company’s product offering. To cut to the chase, it’s essentially the same bed as the foam model, except for a few key differences.
- Coil Foundation – As its title implies, the Zoma Hybrid utilizes pocketed coils for its foundation. This makes the bed a more ideal choice for heavy people since coils tend to provide more support than foam foundations.
- Additional Bounce – In addition to more support, the coils also give the Zoma Hybrid a little more bounce compared to the all-foam version.
- Higher Price Point – To upgrade to the Zoma Hybrid, it will cost you an extra ~$300. The simple truth is that coils are a more expensive bedding material than dense foam.
- Feel – Although the Zoma Hybrid technically uses the same comfort layers as the all-foam model, we noticed during our testing that the hybrid model has a bit more of a neutral-foam feel rather than a memory foam feel (most likely due to the responsive nature of those coils).
That’s the short story with the Zoma Hybrid. We’d recommend upgrading to this model if you (1) weigh over ~225 pounds; (2) like beds with more of a neutral-foam feel; or (3) generally prefer hybrid beds over all-foam ones.
