Why Materials Matter in a Hybrid Mattress

A mattress is only as good as what’s inside. That’s why WinkBed uses premium, American-sourced materials designed to last over a decade. Every layer serves a specific purpose — from cooling, to comfort, to long-term durability — and all materials are CertiPUR-US® certified for safety and low emissions.

At Factory Direct Mattress – KCK, we showcase the entire WinkBed lineup so Kansas City shoppers can feel the difference in build quality before they buy.

1️⃣ The Top Cover: Cooling Tencel™ Fabric

Every WinkBed begins with a naturally breathable Tencel™ cover made from sustainable eucalyptus fibers. Unlike polyester or cotton blends, Tencel feels silky and cool to the touch, pulling heat and moisture away from the skin. It’s hypoallergenic, smooth, and environmentally friendly — perfect for Kansas City’s humid summers.

The Tencel™ fabric is quilted directly into the Euro-pillow top to create a plush but supportive surface that resists pilling and maintains shape over years of use.

2️⃣ Comfort Layers: Gel Foams That Breathe and Support

Below the top cover, WinkBed uses multiple layers of gel-infused foam to deliver pressure relief without trapping heat. These foams are open-cell in structure, allowing airflow throughout the night.

• Euro-Pillow Top Gel Foam – adds cloud-like comfort and quick temperature response.
• AirCell™ Foam – increases airflow and provides adaptive softness without sagging.
• High-Density Transition Foam – prevents you from “bottoming out” on the coil layer.

Together, these comfort layers give each WinkBed Blue Series model a perfect balance of lift and pressure relief — ideal for combination sleepers who move through the night.

3️⃣ Coil-on-Coil Construction: Strength with Flexibility

One of the key advantages of WinkBed’s design is its coil-on-coil hybrid construction. It features:

1. Micro Air-Coils — near the top for contouring comfort and micro-adjustment.
2. Heavy-Gauge Support Coils — below for structural integrity and motion isolation.

These individually wrapped coils move independently, minimizing partner disturbance and maximizing airflow. Unlike cheaper hybrids, WinkBed’s coils are made from tempered American steel, giving them a longer lifespan and reduced noise over time.

This construction is especially beneficial for couples seeking motion isolation and edge support.

4️⃣ Reinforced Edges: More Sleep Surface & No Sag

WinkBed reinforces its perimeter using extra-thick coils and dense foam encasement. This ensures consistent firmness edge-to-edge, so you can sit or sleep near the side without feeling like you’ll roll off.

It’s a small detail that adds a big usability boost—especially for couples who share larger sizes like WinkBed Luxury Firm King.

5️⃣ Durability Testing: Built to Last 10+ Years

Independent testing by third-party labs has shown WinkBed’s coil system maintaining its structural integrity even after 20,000 compression cycles—equivalent to over a decade of nightly use.

Combined with high-density foams and American steel coils, it’s clear why so many WinkBeds outperform other hybrids in long-term durability tests.

At Factory Direct Mattress – KCK, we often show our customers the side-by-side difference between WinkBed and typical bed-in-a-box brands — the difference in density, stitching, and support is easy to see and feel.

6️⃣ Handcrafted in the USA

Every WinkBed is handmade to order in Wisconsin using American steel coils, U.S.-made foams, and certified textiles. Unlike mass-produced imports, WinkBed controls its quality in-house to maintain consistency across every layer.

Supporting a U.S.-made brand means better quality, faster service, and peace of mind that your mattress meets rigorous production standards. It’s one more reason Factory Direct Mattress – KCK is proud to feature WinkBed as a locally available luxury hybrid.
