Firmness info	One perfect bed, no more morning blues. Purple gives the best of both firm and soft with our pressure-erasing Smart Comfort Grid™. Wake up on the right side the World's First No Pressure™ mattress.	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.

Comfort	Ventilation is the key to sleeping just right - not too hot, and not too cold. Purple achieves the ultimate sleep comfortability by combining a totally new material with a totally unique design. Purple remains temperature-neutral so you don't sleep hot and sweaty at night Purple's column design allows air to flow freely, preventing moisture trapping, extending the life of the mattress, and providing cleaner, more comfortable sleep. Thanks to the free air flow design and patented polymer materials, Purple naturally sleeps much cooler than memory foam, latex, and other mattress technology.	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	A revolutionary mattress designed for just about everyone. It's designed to not only help you get better sleep, but to soothe joints, release pressure on the hips and shoulders, and support the neck and back. It's designed to make bedtime the highlight of your day! The Hyper-Elastic Polymer Purple is a pressure-releasing material. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.	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.

FAQs

Purple

Why do people like Purple mattresses?

The Purple mattress is favored for its ease of movement compared to many memory foam mattresses. The Purple Grid is both conforming and responsive, allowing for more movement than highly conforming memory foam.

Do Purple mattresses need special sheets?

Regular sheets can be used with a Purple bed, but they must be of the right type. The best sheet materials for a Purple mattress are bamboo viscose and cotton, provided they promote breathability and have the ability to stretch.

What body type is best for Purple mattress?

The Purple mattress is an excellent choice for back and stomach sleepers. However, for heavier back or stomach sleepers, the Original Purple bed may not be the best option.

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.
