Mainstays 8" Pocket Spring Hybrid review

Mainstays is Walmart's lowest-priced house brand, and its 8-inch Pocket Spring Hybrid is the cheapest coil queen on this list. Walmart's listing describes 7 inches of individually wrapped pocket coils, 1 inch of support foam and a soft quilted cover, with a tight top and a non-slip base that helps keep the mattress on the frame. The queen measures 60 by 80 by 8 inches and supports up to 500 lb, and it ships rolled in a box. It cost $198 for a queen when we checked, $98 for a twin and $218 for a king, with free 90-day returns listed. That price buys a basic spring bed rather than a comfort mattress: with only 1 inch of foam it gives far less cushioning than the Zinus Spa Sensations at the same queen price. It fits guest rooms, kids' rooms and short-term setups best.
