Firmness info

Both MOLECULE mattresses are considered to be medium to medium-firm.

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.
