Firmness info

-

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.

FAQs

BedInABox Original

What sleep setup do you recommend for my BedInABox?

Each BedInABox® mattress is designed to work with any standard foundation. Foam mattresses need as much direct support under them as possible in order to properly support the sleepers. Keeping a slatted or platform foundation under your BedInABox® will help you avoid mattress sagging or breakdown of the memory foam. It is recommended to pair your BedInABox® mattress with the Clever Connect foundation or the MotionInABox™ Adjustable Frame.

Is there a weight limit on your mattresses?

BedInABox® uses high-quality support foam, so there are no weight limits for any of their memory foam mattresses. However, certain foundations do have weight limits. Their foundations are rated for up to 1000 lbs.

Why is BedInABox® the best Mattress in a Box?

BedInABox® claims to be the best Mattress in a Box because they are the only brand that makes their own foam, assembles every mattress, and ships it all from their own factory in North Carolina. This means that every component of your BedInABox® is made in America and under one roof.

WinkBed

Are WinkBeds good for heavy people?

Yes, the WinkBed Plus is specifically designed for sleepers over 300 pounds. It uses durable foam and highly supportive pocketed coils, making it a great option for heavier individuals.

How long does it take for a WinkBeds mattress to expand?

WinkBeds offers a 101-night sleep trial, allowing you over three months to test out the mattress and decide if it's right for you.

What is a WinkBeds mattress?

WinkBeds is an online mattress brand that sells three main mattresses: The WinkBed, a hybrid mattress; the GravityLux, an all-foam bed; and the EcoCloud Hybrid mattress. All WinkBeds are rolled, compressed, and vacuum-sealed before being shipped in a box to your home.
