WinkBed Buying Guide — How to Choose the Right Model
WinkBed offers four comfort levels—Softer, Luxury Firm, Firmer, and Plus. Each is tuned for a specific body type, sleep position, and feel preference. This guide breaks down exactly which model is right for your body, and how Kansas City shoppers can test each one in person at Factory Direct Mattress – KCK.
The WinkBed Lineup (Quick Overview)
Every WinkBed shares a core design: Euro-top cushioning, breathable materials, and zoned pocketed coils for lifted support. What’s different is the feel, determined by foam densities, coil tensions, and surface cushioning.
- Softer — deepest pressure relief; side sleepers; lighter bodies.
- Luxury Firm — the balanced “hotel-feel”; fits 70% of sleepers.
- Firmer — flatter, more lifted feel; back/stomach sleepers.
- Plus — engineered for heavier individuals (250–500 lbs); reinforced coils; latex comfort layer.
Choose Based on Your Primary Sleep Position
Side Sleepers
- Best choice: Softer
- Runner-up: Luxury Firm
Side sleepers need deeper pressure relief around shoulders/hips. The Softer version is tailored exactly for this.
Back Sleepers
- Best choice: Luxury Firm
- Firmer: if you want extra lumbar lift
Stomach Sleepers
- Best choice: Firmer
- Plus: if higher body weight
Choose Based on Your Body Weight
| Body Type | Recommended WinkBed Model | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Under 130 lbs | Softer or Luxury Firm | Lighter sleepers don’t compress the foams as deeply; softer comfort layers keep pressure low. |
| 130–230 lbs | Luxury Firm | The balanced feel gives both contouring and support; works for most people in this range. |
| 230–275 lbs | Luxury Firm or Firmer | Extra coil strength helps maintain alignment; Firmer adds support for flatter sleep profiles. |
| 275+ lbs | Plus Model | Reinforced coils + stabilizing latex comfort layer built specifically for heavier sleepers. |
