Mainstays 6" Tight Top Innerspring Mattress with Gel Foam review

Mainstays is Walmart's house brand, and its 6-inch Tight Top Innerspring with Gel Foam is the bunk mattress you can often collect the same day. The listing showed pickup and delivery options when we checked, alongside a twin price of $88.88. The build is close to the Zinus Core Comfort: a firm tight top over a Bonnell coil core, here with gel foam, in a 75 by 39 by 6 inch twin rated for 250 lbs. Walmart lists CertiPUR-US certified foam and an OEKO-TEX certified cover, and says the low-profile height suits bunk beds, trundle beds, dorms and guest rooms. It works on platform frames or box springs and needs 24 to 72 hours to expand. The case against it is price: the near-identical Zinus model cost $20 less. Buy the Mainstays when you need a mattress tonight and the local store has it.
