PandaZZZ Classic Mattress Review
Those looking for a reasonably priced, quality memory foam mattress might want to consider the PandaZZZ Classic mattress. This multilayer memory foam mattress claims to keep you cool, contour to your curves, and enhance your night’s sleep.
But how does it stack up? Below, we’ll talk in-depth about what this mattress is made of, who it’s best for, and whether it could be the right mattress for you.
Construction
The PandaZZZ Classic has three layers of foam, a zippable fabric cover, and no-slip grip bottom. This mattress features sustainable, eco-friendly materials and is made to stay put on whatever base you use for it.
Materials
The comfort layer of the PandaZZZ Classic is their proprietary Cool & Flex memory foam. This ultra-soft foam is highly contouring and pressure relieving. It’s also ventilated to decrease heat retention and facilitate a sweat-free night’s sleep.
Underneath the Cool & Flex top layer sits the slightly firmer AirCell memory foam transition layer. The transition layer adds some support to the comfort layer and a lot of cushioning to protect pressure points from the ultra-firm support core. The AirCell transition layer also works with the ventilated Cool & Flex foam to transfer body heat away from you.
Without the lift of the premium base foam in the support layer, you’d sink into the PandaZZZ Classic. Good thing this high-density support foam won’t let that happen. The base foam bottom layer offers excellent edge support and buoyancy to make sure you stay on top of the sleeping surface. It also ramps the firmness of the PandaZZZ Classic up to around a medium-firm.
All these layers are wrapped in an allergen-resistant full-zip cover. This breathable, cooling cover is great for sleepers seeking a hypoallergenic mattress and hot sleepers alike. It also features anti-slip silicone beads on the bottom to keep your mattress firmly in place no matter what bed base you lay it on, from platform beds to adjustable bases.
Certifications
The memory foam in the PandaZZZ Classic is certified under the CertiPUR-US® purity standards. A CertiPUR-US® certificate indicates the memory foam in a mattress (or any other product) is made without ozone depleters, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. It also means the foam is low in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions for air quality preservation.
The hypoallergenic fabric mattress cover is certified under OEKO-TEX®. This means it has been tested for harmful substances and deemed harmless for human health under the rigorous third-party standards of a certified OEKO-TEX® institute.
Feel
The PandaZZZ Classic is designed to feel both soft and firm while keeping you cool as you sleep. This medium-firm mattress claims to be able to accommodate all sleep positions, but it will work better for some sleep styles than others.
Firmness Level
At a medium-firm feel, the PandaZZZ Classic is 6 of 10 on the firmness scale. That means it has an outstanding balance of support and pressure relief. As a result, the PandaZZZ Classic is perfect for those with back pain, heavier people (over 230 pounds), back sleepers, and combo sleepers. A medium-firm mattress may also work for lighter-weight (under 130 pounds) stomach sleepers.
However, despite the contouring foam, more petite and average-weight side sleepers may wind up with pain in their hips and shoulders with this mattress. Therefore, all but the heaviest side sleepers and all petite sleepers (except for petite stomach sleepers) may want to consider a softer mattress than the PandaZZZ Classic.
Temperature Regulation
The upper foam layers of the PandaZZZ Classic are designed to promote lots of airflow to help move body heat away from you. Working with the breathable fabric cover, this cooling memory foam mattress does a better job of keeping hot sleepers cooler than many of its competitors. This can be a massive plus for those who wake up in a sweat most nights.
Responsiveness
Responsiveness is the one area where the PandaZZZ Classic doesn’t shine. Its soft memory foam is highly contouring to encourage alignment in the spine and relieve pressure. However, it doesn’t have pocketed coils or infusions to improve response time.
That means the PandaZZZ Classic may not be the best choice for active sleepers who like to toss and turn all night because it could take longer to bounce back into place after you switch positions.
Available Sizes and Prices
The PandaZZZ Classic comes in all the standard mattress sizes except twin XL. So the lack of twin XL won’t be a problem for most people. However, taller sleepers who need a compact bed or those who want to make a split king will have to look elsewhere.
One perk of the PandaZZZ Classic is that its price includes two free hybrid pillows. This is a $150 value and could end up saving you even more money if you planned to purchase more expensive pillows.
Twin
The PandaZZZ Classic twin size mattress is 37 by 74 inches, making it perfect for small spaces like childrens’ rooms or dorm rooms. At $400.00, this is also an excellent choice for those on a very tight budget.
Full
A full size PandaZZZ Classic is 53 by 74 inches and costs $675. This makes a full size mattress a good option for single adult sleepers who want to shave a few bucks off the queen. However, it might not be the best choice for those over six feet tall.
Queen
The queen size PandaZZZ Classic is a better option for couples and those over six feet tall. At 59 by 79 inches, this queen size mattress is $745. This is a bargain price for those who want a quality memory foam bed for a reasonable price.
King
The king size PandaZZZ Classic is 75 by 79 inches and $870. This is also a great value for a king size mattress because most king size memory foam mattresses are well over $1,000.
That price makes the PandaZZZ Classic a fantastic deal for couples looking for more wiggle room on a budget. For many couples, a quality king size mattress completes their sleep experience.
California King
The 71 by 83-inch California king PandaZZZ Classic is also a steal at $870. This California king size mattress is the perfect choice for couples looking to furnish a large bedroom at a reasonable price or extra-tall sleepers who are tired of their feet hanging off the edge.
Warranty and Sleep Trial
The PandaZZZ Classic comes with a risk-free 100-night sleep trial as well as free shipping. You can try the mattress for 100 nights. If you don’t like it, return it for a full refund for whatever reason. They even include a complimentary mattress pickup. Like with any mattress, you’ll need to protect your bed from damage to keep your sleep trial period intact.
The PandaZZZ Classic comes with a 12-year warranty for its foam parts, which is a cut above the standard 10-year warranty for memory foam mattresses. That means you can expect to get well over a decade out of this mattress, making the PandaZZZ Classic excellent in terms of durability for a mattress in this price range.
The PandaZZZ Classic also has a 1-year warranty covering its fabric materials. This could be a bit of a problem for some people. If your fabric cover’s seam pops or zipper breaks after the first year, you’re on your own.
As with all mattress warranties, you can’t expect coverage if you damage your mattress. Doing things like exposing your mattress to moisture, placing it too close to heat, or laying it on an improper bed base are all things that could void your warranty. This is relatively standard and definitely comparable to most other mattresses.
Where You Can Purchase
The easiest way to purchase the PandaZZZ Classic is online at their website Buying online offers fast and easy shipping.
It also means your online mattress can be delivered right to your door rather than you having to find a vehicle large enough to pick it up. This can be especially helpful for those purchasing larger sizes.
Unpacking your PandaZZZ Classic is a snap. Like other mattresses in a box, it comes compressed in a small box that lets you walk it quickly to the bedroom. All you have to do is slide open the box, puncture the vacuum seal, remove the cover, and allow your PandaZZZ Classic to decompress over the course of about 8 hours. You can sleep on it after the first 24 hours.
FAQs
What bed base should I use for the PandaZZZ Classic?
The PandaZZZ Classic is a memory foam mattress. That means no box springs. Memory foam mattresses weigh too much for box springs. They can over-compress the spring network and break the box springs or even rip the mattress.
Aside from that, the PandaZZZ Classic works with any other bed base. It is flexible enough to go on top of an adjustable base. It’s also perfect for a mattress foundation or platform bed. As long as you avoid box springs, you can lay this mattress on any other type of bed base.
Does the PandaZZZ Classic go with an adjustable bed?
Absolutely! This memory foam mattress is flexible enough to move with an adjustable base and heavy enough to stay grounded on the base instead of “floating” above it when it is not flat. The silicone non-slip grips on the bottom of the mattress give the PandaZZZ Classic an edge over many other mattresses because you won’t have to worry about it sliding around when your bed base moves.
How does the PandaZZZ Classic stack up price-wise?
The PandaZZZ Classic offers a lot of value for a great price. It’s well under the cost of many other memory foam mattresses. It’s even several hundred dollars cheaper than the average cost of a queen memory foam mattress: $1,100.
You don’t have to make many sacrifices to get that affordable price. The PandaZZZ Classic still has layers of cooling memory foam. It still has a zippable, washable cover. And it still offers more than a decade of comfortable sleep.
Is the PandaZZZ Classic a good mattress for hot sleepers?
The PandaZZZ Classic is designed for temperature control. That makes it excellent for hot sleepers. The cooling memory foam competes with latex in terms of breathability. And they beat latex in terms of pressure point relief. That means hot sleepers can enjoy this mattress without having to worry about a cushioning or cooling mattress topper.
Bottom line: the PandaZZZ Classic is one of the best memory foam mattresses for hot sleepers.
Do I need a mattress protector for my PandaZZZ Classic?
Yes, you do. You always need a protector on top of your mattress. If you don’t have a waterproof protector, you could be exposing your mattress to stains, moisture, and even microbe development. Not only can this make for an unhealthy sleep. It can also void your warranty and cost you hundreds of dollars if you ever need repairs.
Mattress protectors aren’t just a way to preserve your mattress. They can also enhance the cooling properties of your mattress. Protectors might include cooling gel inserts or breathable bamboo viscose fiber. They could also have copper infusions to fight bacteria as well as increase conductivity to keep you cool.
Bottom Line
The PandaZZZ Classic is not the fanciest or most luxurious mattress on the market. However, it is one of the top-quality beds in its price range. The medium-firm feel will work for a wide range of sleepers. The contouring and cushioning foam will keep you cool and comfortable all night long. And the 12-year warranty ups the ante on durability. All in all, this is an excellent mattress for the price.
