Yawnder reviews · Original 2016 testing archive · Refreshed October 2026
Archived evidence is not a new 2026 hands-on test. Scores and current terms are deliberately omitted where unverified.
Quick verdict
The original Zinus iCoil delivered the central appeal of a boxed budget coil mattress: individually wrapped springs and a basic comfort build rather than a premium foam stack. Yawnder received and unboxed this historical model, but its feel and value observations are not a substitute for testing today's Zinus lineup.

Who should read this review?
Useful for
- Budget shoppers learning what pocketed coils change versus connected springs
- Owners identifying the early 12-inch Euro-top Pressure Relief iCoil
Not a match for
- Anyone treating a current Zinus cooling-gel or extra-firm iCoil as the same tested model
- Shoppers who need a current standardized firmness, cooling or durability score
What the original Yawnder test showed
Unboxing and build
Yawnder's original coverage was based on receiving and opening a roll-packed Pressure Relief iCoil. The pocketed-spring construction allowed independent coil movement after expansion.
Motion and bounce
The review found less partner-transmitted movement than older connected-coil styles but more surface rebound than Zinus all-foam mattresses. That qualitative distinction should not be mistaken for a measured modern motion score.
Value and material trade-off
The attraction was low cost and recognizable spring support. The original construction was not positioned as a luxury mattress; shoppers should inspect foam quality, coil design and warranties on a current listing rather than extrapolate an old price.
These are documented original observations; any number-based comparison would require new testing under the same method used for present-day reviews.

Questions about this older mattress
Is this the same as the current Zinus Cooling Gel iCoil?
No equivalence has been verified. Check the product number, profile and layer construction.
Are pocketed coils good for couples?
Their independent movement can reduce some transfer, but overall performance also depends on comfort layers and frame.
How much did the original cost?

Zinus Pressure Relief iCoil Mattress Review: Pocketed Springs
The Zinus page had drifted into a generic brand roundup, but the older article was based on an actual Pressure Relief Pocketed iCoil mattress Yawnder received and unboxed.
What we reviewed
Yawnder tested the Zinus Pressure Relief Pocketed iCoil Spring Mattress, one of the brand’s early boxed coil models.
Boxed spring construction
Individually wrapped coils made it possible to compress and roll-pack a spring mattress while still giving each coil independent movement after expansion.
Value focus
The purpose of the original review was to see whether Zinus’s very aggressive pricing still produced an acceptable feel. The mattress prioritized basic pressure relief and spring support over luxury materials.
Motion control
Pocketed coils reduced motion transfer compared with traditional connected spring units, though the mattress retained more bounce than an all-foam Zinus.
Zinus iCoil spring mattress vs. Zinus memory foam
The mattress in this review uses individually wrapped steel pocket coils, not an all-foam support core. Some other Zinus products use memory foam, while names and construction can vary by retailer and generation. Check the exact model, coil system, profile and comfort-layer materials rather than assuming any Zinus mattress is equivalent to this original iCoil.
