The Zenhaven mattress, at 10 inches height, offers just the perfect blend of bounce and comfort to let you dive into a blissful slumber.

Thus, you can adjust the comfort level of your bed by simply turning it over!

The organic cotton blend cover provides a soft, breathable surface to sleep on. Under the cover lies a thin New Zealand wool layer that wicks away heat to help you sleep cool throughout the night.

The comfort layer on the Gentle Firm side of the mattress has 1.5 inches of Dunlop latex with 20-24 ILD. This layer makes this side quite firm. Under this layer lies a layer of 3 inches thick Dunlop latex support core with an ILD of 30-34. Thus, you will sleep on top of the mattress when you sleep on the Gentle Firm side.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning or responsiveness determines how easily you can switch between different positions on the bed. Latex is a highly responsive material in general. Thus, the Zenhaven mattress provides more excellent bounce without making you feel stuck in the bed.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

The Zenhaven Latex mattress offers a luxurious blend of support and comfort. This mattress is an all-latex bed and uses natural Dunlop latex for its construction. Being flippable, you get to sleep on two different comfort levels in a single bed with the Zenhaven.

The Luxury Plush side has a medium-soft feel and rates 4-5 out of 10. This side allows your shoulders to sink in slightly and more excellent pressure point relief.

The Gentle Firm side rates 7-8 out of 10. This makes this side quite firm. People who look for more support and a “sleeping on top” feeling might prefer this side of the Zenhaven mattress.

Consider your sleeping position to determine how suitable the Zenhaven mattress is for you.

• Side Sleepers: If you’re a side sleeper under 230 lbs., go for the Luxury Plush side to allow for some sinkage. Choose the Gentle Firm for more comfort if you’re on the heavier side.
• Back Sleepers: The Zenhaven mattress offers ample support to keep your spine well-aligned while at the same time allowing your body to sink in slightly. Sleepers up to 130 lbs. are suggested to sleep on the Luxury Plush side for more comfort and support. Heavier sleepers may opt for the firmer side for more fantastic support.
• Stomach Sleepers: It is suggested that stomach sleepers choose the Gentle Firm side for the required support. If you’re a lightweight sleeper, the Luxury Plush side might work for you.
• Heavy Sleepers: Heavy sleepers need greater support from their bed. If you are a heavy sleeper, choose the Gentle Firm version of the Zenhaven to get the ideal support and comfort.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Dunlop latex is generally cooler and highly breathable. Thus, you won’t have to wake up all sweaty and uncomfortable in the middle of the night when you sleep on the Zenhaven mattress. The luxurious organic cotton quilted cover and the New Zealand wool batting increase breathability and wicks away heat to enable you to sleep cool.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

The Zenhaven performs exceptionally well at isolating motion transfer as an all-latex mattress. If you’re a very sensitive sleeper and share your bed, choose the Luxury Plush side. The softer materials on this side will conform significantly to the body, preventing motion from traveling to other sides of the bed.

Edge Support

The Zenhaven mattress does not have reinforced edges. However, the Gentle Firm side of the bed holds pressure to some extent. You might get a slight sinking sensation while sitting on the edges of the Luxury Plush side.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping is just as important as any other activity we do. Therefore, taking all the sleeping needs of various sleepers into account, the Zenhaven mattress is made to offer you the most comfortable sleep ever.

The flippable nature of this bed makes the Zenhaven an extremely suitable choice for most sleepers. Heavy or sleepers looking for more support may use the Gentle Firm Side. For folks who prefer a plusher bed, the Luxury Plush side of the mattress shall be a good fit.

The mattress has a zoned construction to meet the support requirements of various regions of the sleeper’s body.

• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers require a softer mattress that cradles their shoulders and hips. If you’re a side sleeper under 230 lbs., go for the Luxury Plush side to allow for some sinkage. Choose the Gentle Firm for more comfort if you’re on the heavier side.
• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers need more significant support near the lumbar region for proper spine alignment. The Zenhaven mattress offers ample support to keep your spine well-aligned while at the same time allowing your body to sink in slightly. Sleepers up to 130 lbs. are suggested to sleep on the Luxury Plush side for more comfort and support. Heavier sleepers may opt for the firmer side for more fantastic support.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers require the most support from their bed. Improper support might cause the spine to bend uncomfortably. Therefore, it is suggested that stomach sleepers choose the Gentle Firm side for the required help. If you’re a lightweight sleeper, the Luxury Plush side might work for you.
• Combination Sleepers- Those who alternate between various positions: If you’re a combination sleeper and keep changing your position throughout the night, choose the Gentle Firm side of the bed. The Zenhaven Latex mattress will provide you with the best support and comfort, relieving pressure build-ups. However, if you prefer a softer bed and like the body-hugging sensation, you can always choose the Luxury Plush side.
