Tuft & Needle Essential Original vs WinkBeds

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

The WinkBed comes in three firmness options as well as the 'Plus' which is ideal for sleepers over 300 lbs (extra cost for Plus). See our separate "WinkBed PLUS" listing
The Luxury Firm WinkBed, a 6.5/10 on the firmness scale, is our most universally comfortable design, making it our most popular. Designed to exceed performance of the finest hotel mattresses, it offers the perfect balance of contouring comfort and pushback support.
The Soft WinkBed, a 4.5/10, is designed for sleepers who prefer a deeper sink. Compared to the Luxury Firm, this version uses a more flexible coil system and extra layer of foam in the sleep surface for added body contour.
The Firm WinkBed, a 7.5/10, is designed with the same pressure-relieving foam as the original WinkBed but with a firmer, zoned coil unit for added support, making it ideal for sleepers who need extra support in the hips or midsection.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

• The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
• The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Engineered with a unique hybrid design, the WinkBed combines the plush comfort of a foam bed with the contouring support of an innerspring. Featuring a 6-Layer construction:

• Cover made from Tencel and stretch-knit fabric
• 1" Hypersoft foam (1.5lb density 17 ILD)
• 1" Premium Gel foam (1.5lb density 17 ILD)
• Foam encased 2.4" innerspring micro air-spring coil (1353/queen)
• Lumbar pad made from pre-compressed densified cotton
• Foam encased individually wrapped pocket coils (858/queen)
• 2" Support foam (1.5lb density 28 ILD).

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Micro Air-Springs™
Sitting just beneath our proprietary foam blend, Micro Air-Springs™ maximize airflow around your body and help evaporate moisture away, ensuring a perfect sleep temperature all night long.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Tempered Support Springs
Soft on touch, firm on deep compression, our tempered steel coil base provides localized pressure point relief and push-back body support for optimal alignment of your spine and joints.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Stabilizing Gel Foam
Absorbs most motion transfer and contours to your body so you can sleep perfectly every time - even with a restless partner. It also evenly distributes weight and directs heat away from the body.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Hypersoft Foam
Optimized for pressure relief, this supple material cradles your body without leaving unwanted "body impressions" when you roll over. It's more buoyant than memory foam and softer than latex.

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.

Our cover is made with TENCEL®, a botanical-based fabric softer than silk, cooler than linen and more absorbent than cotton. It naturally wicks moisture it to the outside. TENCEL® is extremely eco-friendly and sustainable, and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, meaning the plant pulp used in production comes from only responsibly managed forests.
