Winkbeds Mattress Review Better Beds For Better Sleep

WinkBeds has something for everyone, whether you’re seeking the all-foam comfort of the GravityLux, the hybrid support from their Original mattress, or something eco-friendly like the EcoCloud. This WinkBeds mattress review covers each of their American-made mattresses and their top-notch materials that are good for you and the planet. While a mattress is a large purchase, WinkBeds offers a generous lifetime warranty and 120-night trial period that allows you to test the bed before you buy it, and rest easy knowing your new mattress is covered for its lifespan. The This Old House Reviews Team also dives into some important considerations when looking for a new bed, exploring factors like pressure relief, spine alignment, and temperature regulation. We also look into what type of sleeper best matches each respective mattress from WinkBeds. The only tough part will be deciding which of these mattresses earns a place in your bedroom.

WinkBeds Original

The WinkBed Original’s hybrid construction fuses strong innerspring coils with layers of cushioning foam to give you that just-right feeling. This mattress is available in four firmness options – softer, luxury firm, firm, and plus – so you can choose which level is best for you. Side sleepers would do best on the softer side, while the firm option is ideal for stomach and back sleepers. The WinkBed Plus is designed for heavy people and offers more support for larger bodies. The luxury firm is their most popular option, catering to sleepers of all positions. Top-notch spine alignment (8.75 out of 10) can help reduce any aches and pains you may have in that region, and a top score in durability (10 out of 10) ensures this mattress will last. Those who like to get ready on the edge of their bed or sleep near the periphery of the mattress will enjoy the superb edge support (9.75 out of 10) that the WinkBeds Original mattress offers. A pillowy Euro Top with a moisture-wicking cover gives you a cooling, comfortable surface that you can sink into.

WinkBeds GravityLux

Anyone who wants a customizable foam bed will love the different firmness options of the WinkBeds GravityLux, a memory foam mattress available in three different firmness levels (soft, medium, and firm). Its cooling cover, with gel-infused memory foam, makes for a comfortable and breathable pillow top that’s great for hot sleepers. Layers of zoned foam provide more support in some regions (like your midsection) and cushioning in others, giving sleepers good spine alignment and pressure relief. The all-foam construction also isolates motion well, minimizing disturbances in your sleep if your partner or pet moves in the night. Not to mention, all the foams in the GravityLux are CertiPUR-US certified. High-density foam ensures good durability (this is echoed with the company’s long-term warranty), so this bed should last you for around 7-10 years.

WinkBeds EcoCloud

There are a lot of reasons to love a latex mattress: they’re eco-friendly, naturally hypoallergenic, and a great mattress for all sleepers. The WinkBeds EcoCloud is a luxury mattress made with high-quality materials that are great for you and the environment. The EcoCloud’s construction has areas of zoned support in both the latex and coil layers that give you the right amount of support in areas where you need it most. The Talalay latex used in this luxury hybrid bed is sustainably sourced and naturally resists mold and mildew development. Those who sleep hot will also enjoy the natural cooling effects of latex, and the breathability the coil layer provides to improve airflow and keep you from overheating. Plus, a layer of New Zealand wool right below the cover helps with moisture-wicking and adds plush comfort.

WinkBeds Mattress Features

Motion Isolation: Beds that inhibit the transfer of motion across their surface are best for couples even if you sleep with pets. If one person (or animal!) shifts or moves in the night, the others won’t feel the motion and should be able to remain sleeping. This makes the GravityLux bed WinkBeds’ best mattress for couples. Edge Support: Elderly sleepers and those who like to sleep near the edge of the bed need a mattress that won’t sag when you put weight on the edges. The WinkBeds Original offers great edge support for those who prefer it. Firmness: The preferred firmness level of a mattress varies from person to person based on their sleep preferences. What position do they sleep in? Do they want to sink into the mattress or sit atop it? Stomach sleepers need firm beds to provide them with ample support in their hips, while side sleepers usually need softer mattresses that adapt to pressure points. Fortunately, WinkBeds offers different firmness options for their mattresses, so you can select the best support level for your needs. Pressure Relief: Everyone needs pressure relief as they sleep, especially those with back pain and those who sleep on their sides, needing more relief in their hips and shoulders. Some beds are better than others when it comes to providing pressure relief, and the all-foam construction of the GravityLux is a good option for those who want extra cradling comfort. Spine Alignment: Good posture at night is equally as important as keeping good posture. This makes spine alignment an important factor when choosing a bed, especially if you deal with back pain. Beds that keep your spine in a healthy, natural position as you sleep deliver good spine alignment, allowing you to sleep with good posture and reduce aches and pains. Temperature Regulation: Sleeping and waking up hot is never fun, especially if it occurs regularly. Like those with latex or innerspring layers, some mattresses tend to promote airflow and keep sleepers cool. Mattress covers made with temperature-regulating materials can also help keep you comfortable throughout the night. Price Point: Everyone has a different budget for redoing their bedroom or replacing their mattress, which is why there is such a range of prices for new mattresses. WinkBeds can be a bit on the pricey side, so we recommend those with stringent budgets to consider a more wallet-friendly bed such as a Nectar.

Sleeping Positions Best for the WinkBeds

Side Sleepers: All WinkBeds models are suitable for side sleepers, especially when you consider the different firmness options. Those who crave a super plush mattress to sink into can opt for a soft mattress, and those who want a bit more support can select a firmer option. Back Sleepers: Back sleepers can usually sleep comfortably on a variety of surfaces and typically it comes down to personal preference. With the WinkBeds multiple firmness offerings, back sleepers should be able to find that just-right fit!
Stomach Sleepers: Those who sleep on their stomachs need a firm enough surface to lift their hips and prevent them from sinking into the bed, making an innerspring mattress a good option. The GravityLux and Original WinkBeds both offer firm mattress designs that should give stomach sleepers the right amount of support and spine alignment they need. Combination Sleepers: The best bed for combination sleepers is one that offers good responsiveness and bounce, allowing them to change positions and get comfortable easily without feeling “stuck.”

More About WinkBeds

Sleep Trial and Warranty: WinkBeds offers customers a 120-night sleep trial to determine if their new bed is the right fit for them. Keep in mind that it usually takes around 30 days to acclimate to a new mattress, so be sure to test it out for at least a month before making a decision. If you decide to keep your mattress, it comes with a lifetime warranty. Shipping and Delivery: Once you order your new WinkBed, it ships free to you within 7-10 business days. One perk of buying a mattress online is that your new bed-in-a-box comes to your doorstep and is easy to set up in your home. WinkBeds does not, unfortunately, offer white glove delivery, so you will be in charge of removing your old mattress. Do I need a box spring with any WinkBeds mattresses? None of their mattresses require a boxspring, but WinkBeds does recommend their platform foundation for the best experience. However, any firm, flat surface or bed frame will work just fine. How long will a new mattress last? The lifespan of a mattress can vary based on factors such as the body weight of the people sleeping on it, the frequency of use, and the materials it’s made of. Typically, a new mattress should last you between 7-10 years. Can any of the WinkBeds mattresses be flipped? While most WinkBeds mattresses are designed to be flipped, the WinkBed Original in the firmer option and the GravityLux Firm can be flipped and feature an extra-firm sleep surface on the bottom.
