GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Zenhaven Gentle Firm
Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
BEST if you
- Want a medium-firm mattress (i.e., just a little firmer than average)
- Are mainly a back sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for stomach or side sleepers)
- Are seeking a mattress with excellent materials and construction
- Are very easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (motion isolation is exceptional)
- Want your mattress to be made from highly natural and/or organic materials
- Prefer no 'memory feel' in your mattress
- Want to be able to adjust the comfort level of your mattress in the future if needed
- Would like a mattress with excellent adjustable base compatibility
NOT IDEAL if you
- Weigh 175 lb or less, especially if you sleep on your side
- Like a fair bit of bounce in your mattress
- Regularly sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is good, but not the best)
- Are allergic to latex
- Are allergic to wool

Yes, the Zenhaven Gentle Firm mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the Zenhaven (Firm Side) to have excellent adjustable base compatibility.

Additional Information
General Description
Zenhaven is the perfect marriage of luxurious comfort and healthy support. Each Zenhaven mattress can be flipped for a Gentle Firm softness level on one side and a Luxury Plush softness on the other. The Gentle Firm side is 18% firmer than Luxury Plush, for those who want a slightly firmer feel.
Each Zenhaven mattress consists of these components:
- Organic Cotton Cover: A cover of quilted circular knit organic cotton with a sewn-on custom-embroidered label.
- Organic Wool Layers: 1" of organic New Zealand wool (0.5" on each side) – providing a flame-retardant barrier without chemicals which also adds breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
- Latex "5-Zone" Comfort Layers: 3" of natural Talalay latex comfort layers (1.5" on each side – with ILD of ~22 on the Gentle Firm side and ~17 on the Luxury Plush side). Each side features a proprietary 5-zone design that gives you firmer support beneath the torso and shoulders and more subtle support elsewhere.
- Latex Support Cores: 6" of natural Talalay latex support layers (3" on each side – with ILD of ~32 on the Gentle Firm side and ~27 on the Luxury Plush side), providing more resilient support than synthetic or petroleum-based foam.
Zenhaven mattresses are backed by a 20-year non-prorated warranty and a 75-night in-home trial.
