I always loved the "sex" part of these ratings. No matter what type of mattress you get, the best sex you'll get is overall a B-.

I'm curious how waterbeds would fare by those criteria, given their reputation in that regard.
I learned a lot about frequencies in a fixed sized medium and standing waves with a waterbed. Also balance and teamwork.
The problem is that your no name Chinese knock off mattress might be flammable.
I won't know or care till it's too late for me to care other than for a gruesome 3 minutes. Carcinogenic on the other hand.
I mean this is the real problem with Amazon right? I think it's the real reason Jeff Bezos says Amazon will go bankrupt.
To me it's the real problem with the American consumer
Umm, Zinus is a South Korean company that was in business well before Casper was, and has a higher market cap. :-)
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that Zinus was lesser than Casper, or didn't come earlier. In fact, I'm fairly certain if we peel back the curtain, most of these American DTC mattress vendors are actually just Zinus under the hood.
I bought a Spa Sensations mattress back in 2010, and that's actually just Walmart's label on a Zinus mattress. (They even call it "Spa Sensations by Zinus" now.) Phenomenal mattress, super cheap, has lasted me forever. I suspect that many of the DTC vendors were doing the same and being a little less overt about it (so they could pocket the markup).
If I had to buy another mattress right now, I'd just buy direct from Zinus, as it looks like they have a reasonable retail presence in the US now.
Casper basically became the modern version of the opaque mattress store.
