Hi themattressundergroundbug,
I’ve certainly heard of it but at this point I wouldn’t consider it without knowing more specific information about the layers and components inside it.
There is more information about the 3 most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).
While nobody can speak to how any specific mattress will “feel” for someone else or whether it will be a good “match” in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences) because this is too subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, and individual preferences, sensitivities, and circumstances and you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress … outside of PPP (which is the most important part of “value”), the next most important part of the value of a mattress purchase is durability which is all about how long you will sleep well on a mattress. This is the part of your research that you can’t see or “feel” and assessing the durability and useful life of a mattress depends on knowing the specifics of its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label (or how a mattress feels in a showroom or when it is relatively new) so I would always make sure that you find out information listed here so you can compare the materials and components to the quality/durability guidelines here to make sure there are no lower quality materials or weak links in a mattress that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of a mattress before making any purchase.
Unfortunately none of the ZuZu mattresses provide the information you would need to know to make an informed choice or for me to make any meaningful comments about them. If you can find out the information and specifications that are listed in the “Mattress specifications you need to know” article I linked and post them on the forum I’d be happy to let you know if there are any lower quality materials or weak links that would be a cause for concern relative to the durability and useful life of the mattress.
If for any reason they are either unable or unwilling to provide you with the information you need then I would avoid them completely.
The same comments would apply to the Classic Brands Engage 11-Inch Hybrid Cool Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Mattress as well.
Based on the limited information they both provide they look like they have different materials and components in their designs so they almost certainly wouldn’t be the same.
There are also some comments about Chinese mattresses that are shipped compressed from overseas in post #6 here that would be worth reading as well.
