WinkBed Mattress Design & Construction

The WinkBed mattress is made in Wisconsin and measures in at 14.5” thick. It has two layers of coils so it’s supportive and durable, which is ideal for anybody over 250 lbs or for those who want their bed to be extra long-lasting.

It’s also fitted with a soft pillow-top, which gives the mattress more of a plush feel, so the double coil layers aren’t overbearing at all — we think you’ll barely notice them. The thing you might notice, though, is WinkBed’s clean and premium appearance. It certainly has a luxurious look and feel that most buyers have enjoyed.

WinkBed Feel & Firmness

WinkBed is offered in multiple firmness levels (softer, luxury firm and firmer) and therefore can handle any type of sleeper (back, stomach, side and combination sleepers).

We think this mattress is better for most side sleepers (especially if you’re petite) because it offers more pressure relief than Saatva does. We rated Saatva’s softest option a medium, and as you can tell from the graph above, we think WinkBed’s soft model lands around a medium-soft.

WinkBed Plus Overview

One thing that’s interesting with WinkBed is that they offer a plus-size version for individuals who weigh 300 pounds or more. It costs a little more, but the bed is specifically designed to handle heavier people. Having said that, Saatva also offers a 14.5” model, but Saatva claims that the difference is mostly aesthetic (i.e. it’s not any better or worse for heavy people).

We think both beds are good options for anyone in the 250 lb range. They both made our list of the best mattresses for heavy people.

WinkBed Pros And Cons

Pros

• All sleepers can be comfortable. It’s a great mattress for all sleepers. Depending on which firmness you get, you should have an easy night of sleep on a WinkBed no matter if you’re a side, stomach, back or combo sleeper.
• The cover is breathable. The Tencel cover is ultra-breathable for sleeping on. It’s made of eco-friendly eucalyptus and will help keep you cool while you sleep.
• You get a lifetime warranty. WinkBed offers a lifetime warranty. The company also offers a durability guarantee, which means if your mattress ends up with any defect, the company will replace it.

Cons

• The bed is expensive. WinkBed has a high price point. You’re looking at spending at least $1,000 on the mattress for a twin bed, and if you want white-glove delivery or your old mattress removed, those are additional costs.
• There’s not a lot of motion isolation. The WinkBed isn’t the best option for motion isolation if you’re sharing the bed. Because the mattress has coils, you might feel the motion from the person you’re sharing the bed with.
• It isn’t memory foam. If you love memory foam, this mattress won’t give you that feeling. While the WinkBed is comfortable, it is not memory foam.

Saatva Mattress Design & Constriction

Saatva has a similar construction to WinkBed in that it has two layers of coils and a pillow top, only Saatva has an organic cotton cover and WinkBed has a Tencel cover. It also is available in three firmness levels (plush soft, luxury firm and firm) and will be suitable for any sleeper type.

The overall feel of this mattress is similar to WinkBed: coil bed with a pillow top. It’s comfortable and supportive.

Saatva Pricing

One big advantage for Saatva is the fact that it’s more affordable than WinkBed, even if you select the 14.5” model as opposed to the default 11.5” one. Saatva will occasionally run sales, so you might want to check Saatva.com for current promotions. The MSRP for a queen size Saatva mattress is around $1,400, whereas WinkBed is around $1,600.

However, WinkBed is typically more aggressive when it comes to deals and discounts. You can usually expect to receive a $200-$300 discount on their beds. We’d recommend checking WinkBeds.com to see what the current promotion is.

Saatva Feel & Firmness

Previously, we mentioned how WinkBed might be a better option for side sleepers who want a mattress with more of a plush feel. Saatva, on the other hand, might be a better fitting mattress for back and stomach sleepers over 250 lbs. WinkBed is certainly a supportive mattress, but back and stomach sleepers need something on the firmer end of the spectrum for maximum support.

Weight plays a large role in a person’s perspective on how firm or soft a bed is. Generally, the heavier you are, the softer a bed is going to feel. Because we rated Saatva’s Firm model at the end of our firmness spectrum, we think it’ll be the sweet spot for heavy back and stomach sleepers who prefer firmer beds.

Saatva Pros And Cons

Pros

• The bed is lower priced — For the quality of Saatva, it comes with an appealing price tag. The queen bed will cost about $1,300 and includes white-glove delivery.
• It has good airflow — The coil layers should improve airflow through the mattress. The mattress is breathable, which will also contribute to temperature neutrality.
• It works for all sleep types — Saatva mattresses are good for all sleepers! Make sure to select the proper firmness to suit your sleeping style.

Cons

• Motion isolation. This mattress isn’t great for motion isolation. The coils inside the mattress allow you to feel most motion from someone you’re sharing the bed with.
• It doesn’t have memory foam. If you’re looking for a more cushiony mattress, this may not be it. Because of the innerspring construction, it has some bounce, which means it won’t feel like memory foam.

• Lofton Organic Sheet Set 
• Memory Foam Pillow

Saatva Mattress reviews

• BBB Rating: A+
• Amazon Reviews: The reviews are mixed among Saatva customers, with some saying the mattress is not comfortable for side sleepers but very comfortable to sleep otherwise. Also, some complained about the mattress being too firm, but other customers appreciated it. This bed might also not be actively available on Amazon.

WinkBed vs. Saatva Mattress — Other Comparisons

Given that we’re dealing with two spring mattresses, there’s a lot of overlap. Therefore, it’s hard to draw clear distinctions between them aside from a few areas. In other words, they have more in common than they don’t.

Temperature Regulation

There are a number of factors that play into how hot or cold a mattress sleeps. You have materials, firmness, room temperature and sleeper weight. Taking into account all of that, our opinion is that both beds sleep more neutral.

If you get the firm option with Saatva and the soft option with WinkBed, you’ll notice a difference in temperature. The more you sink into a mattress and are enveloped by the materials, the more you’ll heat up, generally speaking. If you sleep more on top of the mattress, you’ll end up sleeping cooler for the most part.

Motion Isolation

Both beds are fairly good at limiting cross-mattress motion. They’re not the best mattresses for motion isolation, but they’re no doubt better than a worn-out bed. Saatva does use a traditional innerspring base, but on top is pocketed coils, which are typically much better at isolating motion.

WinkBed uses two layers of pocketed coils. Ultimately, memory foam mattresses, such as Nectar and Loom & Leaf, tend to be the best at stopping motion from reverberating through the bed. This is mostly important for couples, especially when one partner moves a lot in their sleep or gets up in the middle of the night.

Edge Support

Like motion isolation, edge support is mostly important for couples, and this is only key when you’re sharing a smaller bed where the sleeping surface is limited. If a bed has poor edge support, we generally recommend that you consider going up a size (i.e. full to a queen or queen to a king).

Luckily, both Saatva and WinkBed have good edge support. They’re not on the level of the Simmons Beautyrest Black or Stearns & Foster Estate Addison Grace, but we wouldn’t complain about the edge support on these either.

Responsiveness

Any time you have a coil mattress, you should expect better responsiveness. Naturally, because both of these beds have two layers of coils, they are notably quick in terms of responsiveness.

This responsiveness is primarily important for combination sleepers who tend to rotate between sleeping positions during the night. A mattress with slower response times (such as Zinus) will make it more difficult to move around on the bed.

Cover And Cleaning

Neither Saatva nor WinkBed have removable covers and therefore they’re not machine washable, like the cover on the Yogabed mattress, for example. This is the case with most covers on most mattresses, but we always prefer when you have the option to machine wash them. Instead, with both beds, you are encouraged to spot clean any stains with warm water and mild detergent. You can also look into mattress protectors.

Pricing

One big advantage for Saatva is the fact that it’s more affordable than WinkBed, even if you select the 14.5” model as opposed to the default 11.5” one. Saatva will occasionally run sales, so you might want to check Saatva.com for current promotions. The MSRP for a queen size Saatva mattress is around $1,400, whereas WinkBed is around $1,600.

Winkbed Vs Saatva Mattress Comparison Verdict
