Zinus mattresses are made in the USA (Georgia), China, and Indonesia. Here is how to tell which one your model is, plus the fiberglass safety check most guides skip.
Zinus mattresses are made in multiple countries, depending on the specific model. While the brand is headquartered in Tracy, California, with founding roots in Seoul, South Korea (1979), production is split across three main hubs: China, Indonesia, and the United States (McDonough, Georgia).
If the question matters because of fiberglass concerns, the country of origin alone doesn't tell the whole story - what does matter is the model number, the year it was manufactured, and the fire-barrier material listed on the law tag. We cover all of that below.
McDonough, Georgia (USA): Foam mattresses for North American demand, including newer "Made in USA" Green Tea variants. The plant opened in the first half of 2021.
Indonesia: Long-running facility producing foam and hybrid mattresses for global distribution.
Xiamen, China: Zinus's original production base, still active for memory foam and hybrid lines sold via Amazon, Walmart, and other third-party retailers.
Zinus is owned by Tempur Sealy International (acquired in 2022), but production has stayed within Zinus's existing global facility network rather than being absorbed into Tempur Sealy's plants.
Some are, but most still aren't. In October 2020, Zinus USA announced a $108 million investment in its first North American advanced manufacturing facility in McDonough, Henry County, Georgia. The plant opened in the first half of 2021 and was projected to create 804 jobs.
Models that ship today with a "Made in USA" label include the Zinus 12 inch Ultra Cooling Gel Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress and the Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress sold directly from zinus.com. Zinus describes these as manufactured in Georgia using American-made foams and globally sourced fabrics and components.
Important caveat: even within a single model line, the country of origin can vary by production batch. The most reliable way to confirm where your mattress was made is to read the law tag sewn to the mattress - it lists country of origin by federal regulation.
Yes, a large share of Zinus inventory is still produced in Xiamen, China. This is especially true for budget-tier models sold through third-party retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair. Reddit discussions and independent reviews (including engineer-tested reviews by Mattress-Reviews.com in 2026) confirm that recent Green Tea mattresses purchased through Amazon Canada were tagged "Made in China."
If a Zinus listing on Amazon shows "Imported," that almost always means it shipped from the Chinese or Indonesian facility.
Zinus was founded in 1979 in Seoul, South Korea by Youn Jae Lee as an outdoor and camping goods company before pivoting to bed-in-a-box mattresses in the 2000s. The company's U.S. headquarters is in Tracy, California.
In 2022, Tempur Sealy International acquired Zinus for approximately $750 million, but Zinus continues to operate as a distinct brand with its own product lines and manufacturing footprint. Tempur Sealy's purchase was motivated by Zinus's strong online distribution (Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Wayfair) - not by absorbing its factories.
The construction process is similar across regions, with five core stages.
1. Material sourcing. Foam blocks (memory, transition, and base support layers) are produced or imported. Coils - pocket springs or Bonnell innersprings - are sourced for hybrid models. All foam used in Zinus mattresses is CertiPUR-US® certified, meaning it is made without ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, formaldehyde, or phthalates regulated by the CPSC.
2. Foam cutting and shaping. Large foam blocks are cut to mattress dimensions using CNC machinery for consistency.
3. Layer assembly. A typical Zinus Green Tea 12" mattress has three layers: 3" of green-tea-infused memory foam on top, 2" of transition foam, and 7" of high-density base foam. Hybrid models substitute the base foam with a pocket coil unit.
4. Cover and fire-barrier assembly. A jacquard-knit polyester cover is sewn around the foam stack. Underneath the cover is a fire-barrier sock - this is the part of Zinus construction that has been the subject of consumer complaints and litigation (see fiberglass section below).
5. Compression and rolling. The finished mattress is vacuum-compressed, rolled, and boxed for bed-in-a-box shipping.
This is the question most buyers actually want answered when they ask where Zinus mattresses are made.
Historically, yes. Like many bed-in-a-box brands, older Zinus models used a fiberglass inner cover as a cheap, federally compliant fire barrier. When owners removed the outer washable cover - something the law tag warns against - the fiberglass strands escaped, contaminating bedrooms and HVAC systems.
A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. federal court alleged that Zinus did not adequately warn buyers about the fiberglass inner sock. CBS News reported on the suit in 2023.
As of late 2023 and 2024, Zinus has shifted to fiberglass-free fire socks on most new production. The Zinus website now lists individual model pages with "fiberglass-free" labeling. Independent testing in 2025-2026 confirms newer Green Tea and Cooling Gel models ship with rayon-based fire barriers rather than fiberglass.
If you already own a Zinus mattress and want to check, do not remove the inner cover. Instead, look up your model number (printed on the law tag) on zinus.com or contact Zinus customer service - they will confirm whether your specific lot used fiberglass.
Zinus mattresses are backed by a 10-year limited warranty. With proper care - using a supportive foundation, rotating the mattress every 3-6 months, and avoiding standing or jumping on the surface - most owners report 6 to 8 years of usable life before noticeable sagging or compression begins.
Foam-only models tend to soften faster than the hybrid line. Heavier sleepers (over 230 lb combined weight on a queen) typically see compression sooner than the warranty's 10-year window, which is why many independent reviewers (including Mattress-Reviews.com and Consumer Reports) flag Zinus as a short-to-mid-term option rather than a long-haul investment.
Zinus mattresses are made in the United States (Georgia), China, and Indonesia, depending on the model and production batch. A "Made in USA" label is real for select Green Tea and Cooling Gel variants produced after 2021, but a large share of Zinus inventory sold on Amazon and Walmart still ships from Asia. More important than the country of origin is whether your specific model uses a fiberglass-free fire barrier - confirm that on the law tag or with Zinus customer service before buying.

No. Zinus has manufacturing in McDonough, Georgia (USA), Indonesia, and Xiamen, China. Newer Green Tea and Cooling Gel models sold direct from zinus.com are often labeled Made in USA, while many models on Amazon and Walmart still ship from Asia.
Zinus USA broke ground on its first North American advanced manufacturing facility in McDonough, Henry County, Georgia in late 2020 with a USD 108 million investment. The plant opened in the first half of 2021 and was projected to create 804 jobs.
Older Zinus models used fiberglass as a fire barrier inside the cover. Newer production (late 2023 onward) has shifted to fiberglass-free rayon-based fire socks. Check your specific model number against the current zinus.com spec page or contact customer service.
Tempur Sealy International acquired Zinus in 2022 for approximately USD 750 million. Zinus still operates as a distinct brand with its own product lines and manufacturing facilities in the USA, Indonesia, and China.
Check the law tag sewn to a side seam of the mattress. Federal regulation 16 CFR Part 1632 requires the tag to list country of origin, materials, and manufacturer registration number. Do not remove this tag.
