Zoma Mattress Review – A Great Choice for Athletes

The Zoma Hybrid mattress is designed for athletes for maximum recovery but anyone can benefit from this mattress. As a hybrid mattress with foam and coils, it is designed to provide maximum pressure relief and cooling without breaking the bank. Not only does this mattress look different but it feels different too. The innovative zoned support layer of foam and cooling fabric cover contours around your body without absorbing excess heat.  At just under $1,000 in a queen size, it’s a very affordable price for a mattress with next-gen materials that is made in the USA.

Overview of the Zoma Hybrid

Here’s a quick video overview of the Zoma. What you will first notice is that the cover stands out with its unique pattern.

You can order the Zoma mattress directly through the Zoma website. Aside from the Hybrid mattress, they also offer an all-foam version along with other accessories including the Zoma Pillow, Foundation and Adjustable Bed. This mattress ships fast and should arrive in about a week or sooner after you place your order. It will arrive in a box like the one below. For my review, I received a king-size mattress.

My Zoma Hybrid Findings

The first thing I noticed was that this mattress has a foam border. This helps keep you in the mattress while sleeping and just makes the mattress present better. When you pull back the layers, you will find the coil system inside. These are pocket coils that work independently and help reduce motion transfer. You also get two layers of foam above it. I think this feels more like a springy foam mattress, emphasis foam. In the picture below you can see some of the zoned foam layer above. It is convoluted at the bottom and top third and smooth in the middle. This gives you good lower back support while giving you good pressure relief at your shoulders. And, if you rotate the mattress you get the same benefits on the opposite end.

Here you can see how much my 14lb. bowling ball sinks into the mattress. I rate this a medium soft mattress. You will sink in right away but the foam is springy so it bounces right back when you get up or change positions. I really like that about this mattress and when you add springs it just makes it better because it gives you all the cradling of a spring mattress and the pressure relief of foam without any of the drawbacks.

I try to sleep on my side most of the night but usually I end up on my stomach and depending on which mattress I sleep on, I end up on my stomach sooner than I would like. With the Zoma, I was able to sleep on my side most of the night. I chalk that up to the softness of the mattress and the zoned foam. It allowed my shoulders to sink in much more than most mattresses while still maintaining support at my hips and lower back. Someday I would like to see a mattress with a big divot at that shoulders to see how I would sleep. My biggest pain point at night is my shoulders.

The stretch knit cover is extra stretch too. This gives helps the layers underneath to do their work. Ever notice that a mattress feels better without the sheets and mattress protector? Ever extra layer you add to your mattress will be a loss in elasticity so starting with a stretch knit cover like this makes it so you can enjoy the foam and springs underneath more.

My Zoma Hybrid Mattress Recommendation

After discounts, this mattress can be had for about $700 in a queen size. Given that price point, you often need to reset your expectations for what a mattress can do. But with the Zoma mattress, I found it checked all the boxes for my sleep needs. It provides instant pressure relief, support where I needed, contouring at the shoulders and limited motion transfer. This is a superb mattress not just for athletes but I would say any side sleeper that is literally tired from constantly changing positions at night. I strongly recommend giving this one a try to save you money and to get better sleep quickly.
