Research & Development
Competencies across multiple scientific disciplines
Zinus is a vertically integrated manufacturer and adds value to many of the materials we use. We do this across a broad spectrum of goods from very basic ingredients such as recycled steel to finished materials such as fabrics.
Multiple R&D Centers of Excellence across different scientific disciplines enable us to bring value to our finished products:
- Metallurgy Lab – perfecting high-quality coil construction that enables compression technology.
- Chemistry Lab – creating the first memory foam formulations that use sustainable plant-based oils to replace petroleum products.
- Fire Safety Lab – innovative solutions that make our mattresses fire-safe
- Ergonomics Lab – testing how our products can deliver greater comfort over their lifespan, including state of the art test facilities that include: Repetitive Impact Durability testing (Cornell); Load Deflection Analyzer; Impact Drop testing; ASTM Hexagonal Roller testing (Rollator).
- Fabrics Lab – improving the performance of fabrics while at the same time finding new innovative, renewable fiber sources.
At Zinus, Research and Development doesn’t stop with inventing new concepts. Closely connected to these Centers of Excellence is an extensive Quality Control organization that tests each innovation and ensures the highest caliber products for a worldwide market.
