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.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
The only smart mattress with advanced cooling and heating technology designed to help you fall asleep faster and keep you asleep.
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
Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating. Independently set each side of the bed to anywhere between 55°F-110°F. Schedule on and off times from the Eight Sleep app. Advanced Sleep Tracking. Individual sleep tracking on each bed side, supporting two sleepers. Metrics include sleep stages, sleep time, toss and turns, and more.
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.
