Firmness Info

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 PLUS by WinkBeds comes in one firmness. Individuals 300 lbs and up will experience this mattress as a 6.5/10 while individuals 200 lbs and under will experience this mattress as an 8/10, 10 being the firmest. Note: the WinkBed mattress comes in 3 firmness options, the PLUS is a variant targeting heavier people.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

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.

The WinkBeds PLUS is the ultimate mattress designed for people in heavier weight ranges. It's possibly the most durable mattress on the market. Constructed of the following layers:

  • Tencel© cover
  • Body Impression-Proof High-Density Foam (Density 2.5lb)
  • 2.5" 7-zoned 100% latex support layer
  • Patented 3-Zone TexasQUAD individually wrapped support coil

Comfort Info

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.

Triple Layer Heat-Disperse Material that maximizes a cooler sleep.
SleepCalm Motion Isolation technology for a less disturbed sleep with partners.

Support Info

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.

In a simulation of 20 years of bed use by a 350 lb sleeper, the Plus by WinkBed retained 99.2% of its loft and 98% of its firmness, which is a truly outstanding result. They repeat this test periodically to ensure long term consistency and reliability.
Every WinkBed comes with these features:

  • 3-Step Back Relief System to eliminate muscle tension and align the spine and joints.
  • LumbarLayer for extra support in the middle "lumbar region" of your body.
  • extraEDGE Support System provides an extra 15% more sleepable area through enhanced edge support.

Comfort Specs

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.

The latex features an open cell design that maximizes heat transfer away from the body.

Support Specs

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.

A 2.5" layer of 100% pure latex that contains 7 distinct support zones. Pure latex has been proven to maintain its firmness and shape better than any other foam product on the market.
A patented individually wrapped coil design that is specifically built to support heavier weights. Every 4 coils are banded together and reinforced to ensure a supremely supportive and durable feel.

Fabric Specs

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.

A cover derived from Tencel©, a 100% natural, eucalyptus-based performance fabric. It sleeps 30% cooler than linen, is softer than silk, and wicks away heat.
