Winkbed Softer Mattress Experience and Review
We bought a Winkbed Softer Mattress. A very scary purchase online. You tubers helped me make the decision. Thought I'd share my experience and review.

Painted White Kitchen Cabinets - Husband Says NO
Переглядів 203 роки тому
It was a big decision. I liked our kitchen cabinets. My wife wanted to update them. I gave in. Have to admit they do look nice. $3000.00 to paint them professionally. Thought I'd share because you tube channels helped make good decisions since I knew I was going to lose leaving them as is.

    I am torn between this softer and luxury firm which is more popular. Do you sink in too much with the softer?

      I’m 6’1 170 pounds male. 55 yrs old. I don’t sink in it. I love it. My wife recently was saying she thinks the lux firm would be better. She’s feeling maybe she needs more firmness. It’s tough when you can’t try it.

      We love it still. I sleep on the extreme side too. Wife is more centered on her side. Love the sheets too still. We are 50 and 53 years old about 120ish and 170ish pounds. 5’8” and 6’2”. So somewhat lean people. Also I still consistently never miss rotating the bed the 1st of every month. Haven’t missed a month. So maybe that plays a part in not having a sagging area.

    The GravityLux Soft was the most uncomfortable mattress I ever tried. I ended up purchasing the Tempur-Pedic LuxAdapt Soft instead. Also, beware of Winkbeds' return policy. It makes you believe you can return the mattress at any time during the 120-day trial period, but the company makes you wait at least 30 days before you can request a return/refund. If you use the buy now and pay over time option, you can end up shelling out hundreds of dollars for your first payment, even though you aren't keeping the mattress. The BBB complaints indicate that Winkbeds is slow to issue any refund as well. Customers often have file a dispute with their credit card companies to get the money back, even after the mattresses are returned. Winkbeds pulled out of Amazon due to numerous complaints.

    Thank you for your review. Thinking of getting one but on the firmer side. You mentioned that your rotate it every couple of weeks. Does this need to be done in the beginning or throughout the life of the mattress? We are just under 160lb, have s&f 11 inch double-sided for 22 years. Stopped flipping and rotating it about 6 years ago and don't see any sagging or shape change. Trying to figure out if these are the motions I have to go through with this mattress, I'd rather get another s&f.

      I think they said first 3 to 6 months. Going off memory though. I’m type A person so I just do it now the first of every month. We are similar weight to you all. In early age 50s. Still love it. You should call them. They were great on phone back when we got it. Not a fun thing. Getting a new mattress. You’re doing the right thing asking lots of questions

    Ken Stanton 2 days ago If you weigh over 125lbs this soft version has very poor support. I'm 5'8" 170lbs, in pretty good shape and a side sleeper looking for pressure point relief. I spoke with their "Sleep Expert" who assured me it would also have enough support. I cannot lay on my side for even minutes without my spine being completely out of whack and in pain! I've let several other people try with the same results. It's been 3 days since reporting it to them, zero response! I'd say buyer beware from my experience so far, not a happy sleeper. Update - after waiting far too long they tell me they have changed the bed by replacing the micro coils with foam, not shown anywhere on their website or reviews. The bed is the softest, least supportive bed I've ever tried and they insist I sleep on it for 30 days before getting my money back, again, can't lay on it for 30 seconds without pain in my otherwise strong back. I'd recommend any bed other than this one based on both the mattress itself and the unethical treatment you'll receive vs. any competition I've tried. A BIG NO ON WINKBED!

      @@jeffhogan7991 wish you the very best, may I ask your age group? I'm sure you know soft beds only get softer over time. It's an ongoing battle for me. I hate being lied to above all, explained my situation with their "sleep expert" (salesperson) who assured me the bed would have adequate support. Told him I needed a soft top with good support, he said the soft one would be the perfect bed for me. Far too much misinformation out there without getting it from mattress companies as well. Standing the bed up on its side, I can squeeze it to make it a 6" mattress pretty easily and I'm not superman, no support. The bed I was trying to replace is very firm for me unlike the sample that was in the store, not good, but I put a 2" Memory foam topper on it and it's pretty close to my ideal bed, if the foam didn't get hot and it's 15" tall without the topper making sheets tough. Think I'll stick with it for now, was hoping to find a 12" mattress that didn't need a topper but oh well, just hope I get my $2K back from Wink, they did not ship me a bed with support or micro coils as their website and all reviews depicted when I bought mine Dec 2022. Does yours have the micro coils or all foam on top of the wrapped base coils?

    Now this, is a review. From start to using it and updating it. I am EXHAUSTED looking for a queen size mattress AND then at the very end was what I wanted to know, very important, stomach sleeping <-- that is me, rarely on my side or back, and no pillows for me. I think I just narrowed down my decision making. I wish more people, regular folk, would do more reviews like this, because looking for a mattress is forgetaboutit.

    Mattress shopping is EXHAUSTING! I have gone through a Brooklyn Signature Hybrid, a Nolah Evolution Hybrid, a Brentwood Home Cypress, a Tuft and Needle Mint, and right now have a Purple Plus which I will be returning. All of these in the past four months!! All cause intense back and hip pain (138, 5’5) side sleeper. I’m hoping this will be the perfect one #goldilocks😁

      I recommend getting a good physical therapist... they might be able to help by identifying the muscles that are tight or need strengthening. My personal experience is a person's physical body (not the bed) is the primary factor.

We go to bed feeling great, eat right, exercise right etc etc only to wake up in pain, it's the beds I fully agree. I like you have tried far too many and have decided once again, a decent firm mattress with a 2" topper works for me and toppers are fully refundable no problem via Amazon. I've also noticed the few who like this bed appear to be couples, is that a factor, should it be? Best of luck let me know if you find something under 13" that works for you, I'm at 17" now and the primary reason I'm shopping at all. thanks a bunch.

      @@OutsideDuhBox The Purple Plus isn’t bad. But, I am waiting on it to be picked up now. While it helped alleviate my hip pain, it caused new lower back pain. Somehow, it seems the instability of the hyper elastic polymer made my muscles tense as I slept. I currently am sleeping on a 3 inch soft dunlop latex topper over my Tuft&Needle Mint. I am in the process of configuring my first DIY mattress! All latex, consisting of three different firmness levels, encased in an organic knit mattress cover. Price will come in at under $800. Go on Reditt and uou’ll see there is a whole world of people who are brave enough (and fed up enough) to actually make what works for them. I have to say, latex feels really, really nice!
