Spa Sensations is an Indonesian-made innerspring mattress from Zinus, a bed-in-a-box company based in South Korea. Walmart Canada sells Spa Sensations for $229 for a queen size.
While the mattress has good edge support and motion isolation—and the highest bounce rating of any mattress we’ve ever tested—Zinus doesn’t offer a sleep trial for Canadian customers, and only offers a 10-year warranty. We also observed quality issues with the mattress we received.
If you’re looking for a quality mattress at an affordable price point, you might want to consider a brand like Juno instead.
Determined by how much the mattress sinks under applied weight. The lower the score out of 10, the softer the mattress.
7.0 /10
Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.
8.0 /10
Determined by measuring a medicine ball’s impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.
7.1 /10
Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.
10 /10
Determined by entering a mattress’s cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.
0.6 /10
Spa Sensations by Zinus is an 8″ innerspring mattress with a firm feel. It has good edge support and motion isolation, along with the highest bounce rating of any mattress we’ve tested to date. The mattress is designed without any cooling features, but it has a small amount of breathability due to the inner coils.
The mattress cover is made of 100% polyester, and isn’t removable or machine washable. The cover material is thin and there’s no padding (except on the corners) to keep the springs from poking through.
In fact, the mattress we received for this review arrived with the end of an innerspring sticking out of the bottom fabric, which injured one of our reviewers while handling it. The mattress cover’s low quality is concerning, given Zinus’s known history of fiberglass use in mattress construction.

Looking for an affordable mattress in a full range of sizes? Take a look at Juno.
Zinus doesn’t ship directly from its website to Canadian customers. If you’re buying a Spa Sensations mattress, you’ll have to do it through one of Zinus’s authorized third-party retailers. As of publication, Spa Sensations by Zinus is only available via Walmart. Shipping takes 1–3 business days and is free to most locations in Canada for orders over $35.
Zinus also doesn’t offer a direct sleep trial for its mattresses to its Canadian customers, so your sleep trial will vary depending on the retailer you buy from. Walmart also doesn’t accept mattress returns for Marketplace items on behalf of Zinus. Returns are facilitated through Walmart’s website, but it’s up to you to deal with the manufacturer. Zinus’s refund policy for Marketplace items is unknown.
The brand offers a 10-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects only. The warranty is considered void if the mattress isn’t used with the correct foundation, or if it’s “altered, [its] outer cover and/or mattress tags are removed or if it is improperly used.”
In comparison, competing budget mattress brand Juno provides a 15-year warranty, as well as a 120-night sleep trial and the option to return the mattress for a full refund.

Zinus is a South Korea–based company founded in 1979 by Youn Jae Lee. According to the company’s website, it began as a tent manufacturer before expanding into mattresses. The company maintains an “D-” (unaccredited) rating on Better Business Bureau. At the time of writing, Zinus has a “Bad” rating on Trustpilot with 1.6/5 stars, based on 66 reviews. 79% of those ratings are 1 star.
Overall, there are a significant number of customer complaints about the company and its products. Complaints include poor customer service and the company not honouring its warranty and return policies. Customers have also complained about missing parts and notable manufacturing defects, including fiberglass strands fraying and leaking through the mattress cover.
Zinus is currently facing a proposed class-action lawsuit after a California customer’s four-year-old daughter experienced serious health issues related to the fiberglass in her Zinus mattress. This is just one of several thousand people in the United States who say they were affected by fiberglass in the mattress. If fiberglass is a health concern for you, another mattress option like Juno might be safer.
Choose the company that’s rated “A+” on BBB and “Excellent” on Trustpilot.
Spa Sensations has an affordable price, and it’s one of the bounciest mattresses we’ve ever seen. But its few features, lack of sleep trial, just-average warranty, and poor quality mean it doesn’t offer enough value for the money. We recommend Juno instead.
At $499 for a queen size, Juno offers exceptional value for its price. It features a cooling gel layer, a 120-night sleep trial, and a 15-year warranty. Your purchase even comes with a free bedding bundle, saving you the cost of buying new sheets.
The company is also rated “A+” on BBB and “Excellent” on Trustpilot, with 5,400+ five-star reviews from happy customers.
Spa Sensations by Zinus has an accessible price and a lot of bounce. However, it doesn’t come with a sleep trial or cooling features, and it has notable quality issues. We suggest Juno instead. Juno comes with a layer of cooling gel foam and an optional cooling cover. You’ll also get a generous 120-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle—all for just $499 for a queen size.
According to Zinus’s company FAQ, its mattresses may take up to 72 hours to fully expand. However, they should be safe to sleep on the first night after being unboxed. Zinus’s FAQ also indicates that jumping, walking, and sleeping on its mattresses during this time helps with decompression.
Zinus offers a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty. It covers defects in materials and workmanship only. This warranty is void if the mattress is not used with the correct foundation.
The warranty is also voided if the mattress is “altered, [its] outer cover and/or mattress tags are removed or if it is improperly used.”
The Spa Sensations mattress we purchased for this review is no longer available for purchase from the company’s website. If you buy the mattress through one of Zinus’s authorized third-party retailers (like Walmart), the retailer’s return policy will apply.
Any spills or stains on your Spa Sensations mattress should be spot-cleaned only. The cover isn’t removable or machine-washable.
No, you shouldn’t flip a Spa Sensations mattress. Even though the mattress is a traditional innerspring design, it’s not designed to be flipped.
Zinus doesn’t say whether you can roll any of its mattresses back up after unboxing them. However, this can be difficult to do with any mattress that contains inner coils. Although the Spa Sensations mattress ships rolled and compressed in a box, we recommend not trying to roll the mattress back up once it has expanded.
You should check out Juno. At $499 for a queen size, it comes with a longer 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty. You also get a free bedding bundle that includes a mattress protector, pillow(s), sheets, and pillow protector(s), giving you extra value with your purchase.
