In short
Zoned support means different parts of a mattress feel different. Usually the hip area is firmer and the shoulder area is softer. Zones are made with different spring gauges, coil sizes or cut foam. Zoning is a build choice that aims to suit mixed body shapes. It is not a medical device claim.

Zoned mattresses work best when you lie the right way round. Check whether you can rotate it head to foot.
