WinkBeds - Blue Series 2

What’s your view of the WinkBed Blue Series and Blue Series Luxe? I just got a Luxe this spring and I’m in love with it so far and I want professional validation lol

I wouldn’t recommend it. I bought their expensive version: Winkbed Blue Luxe, $4100 after taxes for king. One of the sides was clearly sinking the moment we took it out of the box, and never fixed itself - felt like the coils hadn’t expanded. The talalay latex on the other side turned into mush after a couple of weeks, too. It felt like it was sagging all over. I emailed customer service a pic of my husband sitting and sinking by 4 inches where he sat. I got a response: we need to see the sinking without a person sitting on it. I thought, are you kidding me, you’re treating me this way when I’m still in the return period? What can I expect when the sagging gets worse after the 120-day trial period? So I returned it. I was reading comments on this thread in the meantime, and I saw many people complain that there is no way to leave a real review for them - all the reviews on their website are locked in, which is really suspicious.

We’ve found the WinkBed sleeps decently cool, but when you run that hot, as my bf does, you’re just always sleeping with fewer blankets on top of the sheet. I’d say next levers to pull are BedJet or Eight Sleep, though the idea of a subscription to a mattress topper kind of blows my mind.

We personally have a WinkBed, which is a hybrid, and we have zero issues with being too hot, BUT! We also use only 100% cotton sheets, cotton blankets, and cotton quilts. Our pillows are cotton case with wool filling and a cotton pillowcase over it. We also only wear cotton clothing to bed. You have to think not only about what your mattress is made of, but also what you are putting on it and yourselves. Natural materials breathe while a lot of synthetics trap heat. Latex is great for airflow as well, but if you are a side sleeper, it can be difficult to find a latex mattress that doesn’t feel too firm. Stick with cotton, wool, and linen for your bedding and sleep clothes. Best of luck!
