WinkBed Blue Series 1 vs Blue Series 2: Which Is Right for You?
WinkBed’s Blue Series hybrids take the brand’s classic hotel-style feel and add extra cooling and targeted support. Blue Series 1 and Blue Series 2 share the same breathable DNA, but they’re tuned differently for body type and sleep style. This guide explains the differences and shows Kansas City shoppers how to try both models in person at Factory Direct Mattress – KCK.
Blue Series Overview: What Both Models Share
Both WinkBed Blue Series 1 and Blue Series 2 are cooling-focused hybrid mattresses with:
- Breathable, moisture-wicking cover materials designed to reduce heat build-up.
- A plush yet responsive comfort system that keeps you “on” the mattress, not swallowed by it.
- Zoned, individually wrapped coils for targeted support and motion control.
- Reinforced edges so you can sleep right to the side without feeling like you’ll roll off.
Where they differ is **firmness, pressure relief, and how aggressively they lift your lower back**—which is why it’s important to match the right Blue Series model to your body and sleep position.
Blue Series 1 vs Blue Series 2: At a Glance
| Feature | Blue Series 1 | Blue Series 2 | Classic Luxury Firm (Reference) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall Feel | Medium-plush, gentle cradle, more pressure relief. | Medium-firm, more lifted and supportive through the lumbar. | Balanced “hotel feel” – between Blue 1 and Blue 2. |
| Best For | Side & combo sleepers, lighter bodies, pressure relief focused. | Back & combo sleepers, folks wanting extra support & cooling. | Most sleepers, couples with mixed positions. |
| Cooling Emphasis | Strong – breathable cover + cooling foams. | Max Cooling – more airflow + responsive surface. | Cooler-than-average hybrid, but not “Blue Series” cool. |
| Support Feel | More contouring at shoulders/hips. | More lift through midsection; slightly firmer under the low back. | Evenly balanced support across the whole surface. |
| Typical Match | “I want cool and cushy.” | “I want cool and supported.” | “I want a great all-around mattress.” |

Feel & Support: How Blue Series 1 and 2 Actually Lie

- Great for side sleepers and lighter-to-average body types.
- Smoother transition from comfort layer to support coils for a more “cloud-like” feel.
- Still lifted enough that you can move easily—no quicksand, just more cushion.
How Blue Series 2 Feels
- Medium-firm comfort with more pronounced lumbar support.
- Great for back sleepers, combination sleepers, and mild back-pain concerns.
- You feel more “on top” of the mattress with a touch less sink than Blue 1.
- Designed to keep your spine straighter—especially beneficial if you wake up stiff.
Cooling & Construction: Why “Blue” Matters
Shared Cooling Features
- Breathable, moisture-wicking cover that helps manage humidity and heat at the surface.
- Open, individually wrapped coils that let warm air move out of the mattress.
- Supportive comfort system tuned to resist deep body impressions that can trap heat.
Where Blue Series 2 Pulls Ahead
- More responsive feel that lets heat escape as you move during the night.
- Firmness profile that keeps you closer to the surface, improving airflow around your body.
- Best choice in the line for hot sleepers who still want strong support.

Blue Series 1 vs Blue Series 2 — FAQs
Which Blue Series model is better for back pain?
For most back-pain sufferers, Blue Series 2 is the safer pick thanks to its extra lumbar lift and firmer overall profile. If you’re highly side-dominant but still have back issues, Blue Series 1 can work as long as you maintain good pillow support.
Which Blue Series is better for hot sleepers?
Both are cooler than typical memory foam, but Blue Series 2 is the better choice if you run hot. Its slightly firmer, more responsive surface keeps you closer to the top of the mattress where airflow is best.
How does Blue Series compare to the WinkBed Luxury Firm?
The Luxury Firm is the most balanced all-around feel and a great starting point for many sleepers. Blue Series 1 leans softer and cooler, while Blue Series 2 leans more supportive and cooler. If cooling is your top priority, start with the Blue Series; if you want pure versatility, test Luxury Firm first.
