Joe: What's up, everybody?
My name is Joe from Mattress Clarity.
Today, I'm going to be reviewing the WinkBeds Mattress.
Let me tell you everything you need to know about this mattress -- the pros, the cons,
construction details, telling you what type of sleeper it's a good fit for, what type
of sleeper it's not a good fit for.
By the end of the video, you're going to have a pretty idea if you're going to want to get
it, so stay tuned.

Joe: Hi.
First things first, if you have any specific questions, or if you want me to give you a
personal recommendation, I'm happy to do so.
All you have to do is just leave a comment below, tell me a little bit of information
about yourself and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
We have the WinkBeds Mattress here.
I've actually reviewed it a couple times before.
They've changed designs slightly.
They've added some firmness options as well.
I [inaudible 0:47] decide to jump in and re-review and give my updated thoughts on this mattress.
Let's talk about what's inside of the WinkBeds Mattress, got the Luxury Firm version here.
Starting with the cover, the cover is tensile.
It's eco-friendly, pretty breathable material, nice and soft.
There's tufting as well, it give a nice luxurious look overall.
We have a euro-style pillow top.
It's basically got two one-inch layers of poly foam.
Very soft, very fluffy feel on top.
Definitely a very pillow-toppy feel overall.
Underneath those two layers is a two-and-a-half inches of microcoil, steel coils that are
individually wrapped.
That's going to help contour the exact curves of your body, provides some deeper down pressure
relief and support at the same time.
We have very tall support coil.
We have a coil-on-coil construction and then foam on top.
You're going to have very good support just having two sets of steel coils that are individually
wrapped, so be very supportive.
Even for people of heavier weights, they do have a plus model.
If you are maybe 250 pounds and above, I would maybe check that out as well.
It's got pretty good pressure relief just from having these pretty soft top layers of
foam here with the pillow-toppy feel.
You have very good pressure relief and support at the same time.
I think a lot of people are going to really like this mattress.
It's going to be pretty breathable as well.
You have this nice pretty cool to touch, tensile cover and two sets of steel coils where it
allows air to flow through the mattress.
If you're worried about sleeping hot, that's not really going to be an issue here.
Think it's going to be a pretty durable mattress as well, certainly steel coils can be very
durable.
That's something to note as well.
It's a pretty good construction overall.
Let's talk about firmness and feel.
As far as firmness is concerned, I put this Luxury Firm version of the WinkBeds about
a 6.5 out of 10.
It's about average basically.
Reason I feel that way is you got some very soft foam layers on top here.
You can see the foam gives in very quickly, then you hit the microcoils underneath, which
are very firm.
When you combine that, you get a medium feel overall.
As far as the feel is concerned, it's definitely a pillow-toppy feel.
If you've had success with traditional spring mattresses, it's what you get here.
There's going to be some bounce, which I'll show you with this lacrosse ball.
You see that it bounces right up there.
Definitely a traditional spring mattress.
You are going to feel that you sleep on top of it.
You're still going to have that pillow-toppy, nice fluffy feel.
It has pretty good pressure relief and support at the same time.
Now, I'm going to talk to you of how I feel on different sleeping positions.
Starting on my back, first thing I noticed is it's a very good match for me from a support
perspective.
Between the top foam layers and then the microcoils, it conforms very well with the curves of my
body.
This holds me up.
Other than that, it's a very good match for me there.
Switching on to my side, because of the pillow-toppy nature, you feel a pretty good pressure relief
from the very soft top foam layers there.
I feel a little bit of pressure, but overall it's a very good match for me on my side.
Switching on to my stomach now, I feel it's a tiny bit too soft.
If you sleep just on your stomach, you may want to go for the firm version.
Still a pretty good match for me.
I would say it's a pretty good match for me in all three sleeping positions overall.
Over at Mattress Clarity, you're going to see some subjective opinions mixed with some
objective tests.
One test we really like is a pressure map test.
I get down on a pressure map.
I'm going to see exactly how well each mattress relieves pressure.
You're going to see in here from blue to no pressure, all the way to red, high pressure.
The only thing to note is if you have a different body type than I do, you may see different
results, but let's get started.

Martin: Hey guys, Martin here to offer different perspective.
Joe's 5'9" 160, I'm a 6'7" 230.
I'm a larger person.
I want to give my take on the WinkBeds Luxury Firm here.
In terms of firmness, I said it was a 7 out 10.
A little bit firmer than average.
In terms of sleeping positions, lying on my back, really nice support.
My hip's sinking just the right amount into this pillow top layer here.
Moving to my side, really great pressure relief on my shoulders and my hips.
Just barely any pressure on my shoulders and hips there.
On my stomach, pretty good overall support, but not quite enough for some of my side are
definitely going a little bit the hips there, but overall decent support.
I will note that I've also tried the WinkBeds Plus, designed specifically for larger people
like myself.
However that being said, I'm 230 pounds and that matters more is going to be rated for
people in the 300-pound range.
Actually for someone my size even though I'm larger, I actually felt better sleeping on
the WinkBeds Luxury Firm here, definitely more comfortable overall.
Joe: If you sleep with a partner, you may want to consider something we call motion
transfer.
Basically, if your partner is moving on that side of the bed, is that motion going to be
isolated or transferred over to you and possibly wake you up at night?
To test that, we have a glass here.
We create a little disturbance around the glass, see how it reacts.
You could see that it's moving a little bit.
Now we do have pocketed coils in this mattress, I would say there is some motion transfer,
but for a spring mattress this is actually pretty good.
I had Martin from my team as well jump in and out of bed.
I felt a little bit of motion transfer.
I would say for a spring mattress, it's actually pretty good, but there are memory foam mattresses
that would be better for motion transfer.
If you sleep with a partner, or you like sleeping towards the edge of the bed, you want to know
that you're not going to fall off the bed.
We have this term called edge support.
In this particular mattress, I'm sitting on the edge of the bed here and I could do so
pretty easily, no problems with edge support here.
I'm wide down on my back now.
I feel like I can sleep all the way towards the edge of the bed without feeling I'm going
to fall off.
I would say edge support is very good with this mattress.
Let's talk through some of the pros of the WinkBeds Mattress or who I think it may be
a good fit for.
I think this is a very good match of balancing comfort and support.
If you sleep in all three different sleeping positions, it's pretty good pressure relief
on your side and very supportive overall.
Whether you're on your back, stomach, or side, it's a pretty good match.
It's also going to be very breathable.
You just have two sets of steel coils that allows so much air to flow through.
If you're worried about sleeping hot, this could be a very good match for you.
If you have extra support needs as well, just having two sets of steel coils, it's a very
supportive mattress overall.
It's definitely going to be more durable than any of the bed-in-the-box mattresses as well.
Let me talk about some of the cons of the WinkBed Mattress, or who I think it may not
be the best fit for.
This is the Luxury Firm version.
It's a little bit too soft for stomach sleepers.
You could go for a different mattress, or go for the firm version.
It's also a medium firmness as well.
If you want something more in the extreme end, either go for a different mattress, or
go for a soft version, or the firm version.
It's also a very true spring pillow-toppy feel.
If you want to sink in to your mattress, you like that type of feel that you might get
from something like memory foam, that's not what you get here.
You may want to look elsewhere.
I would say for a spring mattress, the motion isolation is pretty good, but there's definitely
other mattress types that are better.
If you sleep with a partner, you may want to go for a memory foam mattress where it
really isolates motion very well.
It's still pretty good for a spring mattress, but that's just something to know.
If you're on the WinkBeds shop page, you may notice that there are firmness options.
Actually, I'm now sitting on the soft version of the WinkBeds Mattress.
I thought of talking about who should get the soft, who should get the Luxury Firm.
The Luxury Firm is about a 6.5 out of 10 in my opinion.
I'll put the soft about a 5 out of 10.
The construction is pretty similar.
The biggest thing is that the soft has an extra foam layer.
It has extra softness just from having an extra, pretty soft foam layer on top there.
You're going to sink into the soft more.
I would say I do feel that the Luxury Firm has pretty good pressure relief, but if you
just sleep on your side, then I'll probably consider the soft.
If you switch positions, definitely get up to the Luxury Firm.
If you just sleep on your side, then potentially I would look for the soft.
It is a very good pressure relieving mattress.
To wrap up, that's basically it.
I think the WinkBeds is going to be a great fit for a lot of different types of people.
Very good match, just balancing comfort and support.
I feel it's a pretty good match in all three sleeping positions.
I think a lot of people are going to like it.
Just make sure this is the type of feel that you want to get.
If you want to sink in to your mattress, maybe you go for a memory foam mattress, but I do
think a lot of people are going to like this mattress.
That's it.
