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.

Cover	The Birch Mattress has a cover that is made using natural, organic cotton. It is designed to be highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.	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.

Comfort	Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience. 100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber. Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.	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. 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.
Support	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	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. 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.
