Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Many testers rate the WinkBed Soft around 4 out of 10 on a 1-10 firmness scale - making it decidedly soft.
- Feel Description: From the moment you lie down you’ll notice a plush Euro-style pillow-top that gives a deep contour around your body. Beneath, the individually wrapped coils and zoned support core prevent the mattress from feeling overly mushy or unsupported.
- Our Take: This model gives you the "wrap-around" softness many memory-foam lovers enjoy, but with hybrid lift and responsiveness underneath - so you don’t lose support entirely. For those seeking deep comfort plus structure, the WinkBed Soft hits that sweet spot.
Construction & Materials
Height: Approximately 13.5″ (for the soft version).
Design: Hybrid build combining plush comfort layers, micro-/pocket-coils, and zoned support.
Layer Breakdown:
-
Cover: Eco-friendly TENCEL®/eucalyptus-derived cover, breathable and soft.
-
Comfort Layers: Thick foam pillow-top, gel-infused or proprietary plush foam designed for cushioning and contouring.
-
Micro-/Pocket-Coils & Zoning: Individually wrapped coils with zoned firmer support under the lumbar region, softer under the shoulders/hips for pressure relief.
- Base/Foundation Layer: High-density foam base for stability and durability. GoodBed mentions a base layer under the coils.
Why It Matters: The combination of a soft comfort surface and a supportive coil core means you get a plush top-feel without sacrificing structural support. This design is especially beneficial if you often shift positions, share a bed, or have joint pressure points.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 9 / 10 | Excellent - the plush top allows your shoulders and hips to sink just enough, relieving pressure without collapsing. |
| Cooling | 7 / 10 | Above average. The breathable cover and coil design aid airflow, but very hot sleepers may still want an active cooling foundation or breathable sheets. |
| Support | 8 / 10 | Good structure for a soft mattress. The zoned coils help maintain alignment, though heavier stomach sleepers may feel a bit more hip sink than desired. |
| Motion Isolation | 7.5 / 10 | Strong performance for a hybrid. The foam layers help absorb movement; still, some bounce is present given the coil core, so couples should test for side-by-side comfort. |
| Edge Support | 7 / 10 | Decent, though softer models tend to allow more compression at the perimeter compared to firmer hybrids. Testing the edge in-store is wise. |
| Ease of Movement | 8 / 10 | Very good. Unlike ultra-slow memory foam only mattresses, this model allows easier repositioning while maintaining a plush feel. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Excellent match. The high pressure-relief rating and soft contouring make it one of the better options for shoulders and hips.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good. Most average‐weight back sleepers will appreciate the plush comfort while still getting sufficient support.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Moderate. The support is solid, but due to the soft surface you may notice more hip sink than ideal for stomach sleeping — test in our Seattle mattress store to ensure spine alignment.
-
Combination Sleepers: Good. The ease of movement makes switching positions easier, and the cushioning is comfortable—but if you frequently flip to your stomach, consider comparing with firmer alternatives.

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Bring your usual pillow(s) when visiting so you can test how your head and neck align on this plush surface.
- Because the mattress is soft, test whether you feel any drag when flipping positions - some soft beds slow movement.
- Check the edge behavior: sit down on the side of the bed and see how much you sink.
- If you share the bed, lie side‐by‐side with your partner in the showroom so you both gauge motion feel and edge comfort.
- Confirm your fitted sheets accommodate the mattress height (since plush hybrids often are 13–14″ tall and above).
