1. Introduction: WinkBeds vs Saatva Mattress Comparison, Before You Buy
If you’re planning to say sayonara, adios, goodbye to the typical “foam-only” mattresses and instead get a premium mattress using both innerspring and foam: we have two big boys in the game: WinkBeds vs Saatva
Saatva and WinkBeds are the two big online mattress companies creating beds with true hybrid construction style. Both are amazing but keep reading to see which one is better for you in my detailed comparison below. (Note, since this comparison is written many things changed, I suggest you check the individual reviews to get the most accurate price, layer construction, and other info.)

2. Detailed Comparison of WinkBeds vs Saatva:
WinkBeds
Saatva
Top Cover
Winkbeds now has a tencel cover that’s very soft, nice to touch, durable, breathable and sleeps cool. NEW: let you control the temparature of the mattress!!
Made from 100% pure organic cotton so it’s durable and comfortable to use. Visually, it has an all-white color with button-style detailing and a lovely pattern.
Foam Layers
The Winkbeds mattress has 4 main layers (not counting the top comfort layer.) First, you get the 2-inch euro-style pillow top for comfort. Followed by a 2.5-inch thick layer of pocket coils, which provide contour. Third, 8.5-inch thick traditional steel coils are added for deep compression and support. Fourth, 2-inch thick high-density foam layer coupled by an edge support system that allows for better edge support.
First layer includes 1.25-inch thick soft foam with 1 ounce Dacron and ¾ inch of fibre serving as the euro style pillow top. Second is the comfort layer made up of contour coils wrapped in foam. Third, there’s an edge support system located all around the edge of the mattress, encasing the coils. Fourth, 1-inch thick memory foam found directly underneath the cover. At the bottom are foundational hourglass coils providing support and retaining shape.
Firmness
Being a hybrid, the Winkbeds offers medium firmness running at a 6 out of 10 in a scale. The top layer euro-style pillow offers amazing comfort minus that hug feel.
Available in three different options: Saatva Plush Soft, their softest mattress, Saatva Luxury Firm, for those who like middle firmness, and Saatva Firm, for those who like super firm mattresses for sleeping.
Body Support
Supported with coils and durable density foam, the Winkbeds provides deep compression support while ensuring edge support is also present.
Great body support overall. Would work great for side, back and stomach sleepers.
Motion Transfer
Bounce is expected with the mattress since it’s made from spring. Despite the innerspring feel and construction, motion transfer is minimal thanks to the layered construction.
Retains amazing bounce because of the sprint, slight motion transfer is expected but nothing extreme at all.

The Final Verdict
Oh man, this is a big fight. Who wins, Winkbeds or Saatva? If you’re looking for an innerspring mattress that’s sold only online without paying all the traditional fees, you like a good luxurious coil mattress with sweet bounce and fantastic edge support, you’re in the right spot. Both mattresses are great for that. Both of the companies are trustable and reputable who cares about your true satisfaction.
If you’re extra heavy, because of the higher coil numbers and extra support I’d say go for Winkbeds. You want extra cooling, and actually a complete coolness control, go for Winkbeds. (Definitely if you can spend a few extra bucks, CoolControl is not really cheap, but amazing for hotttt sleepers out there.)
Otherwise, Saatva mattress with organic cotton cover is just amazing and would be sufficient for your magical nights, with only $999 🙂 With their Loom and Leaf and Zenhaven, Saatva proved they know the mattress business and sleep.
So, I hope my Saatva vs Winkbeds comparison review is helpful, please let us know which one you pick and join the conversation below. 🙂
Great Website. Very much enjoyed reading and watching. Thanks for the fresh input.
Thanks 🙂
I read your reviews of the winkbed and saatva. Do you care to offer an opinion as to which bed is the best buy?
thanks,
John Howell
Hi John, sent you an email with some questions 🙂
We currently have a Queen Sleep Number Bed (20 y/o) I set my side at 65-70, he sets his at 75. He’s quite tall and over 200#, I’m short and heavy. One thing I HATE about Sleep Number is the several inches wide band of foam right under the thin pillow top, it give a ‘shelf’ feel.
So the edge support system is important, I’d prefer not to have that ledge feeling any more, what do you recommend please?
Hi Ness,
I read your comparison of Saatva vs. Winkbed. Thank you for this. I prefer a very firm, traditional hotel mattress. I sleep on my back and am not overweight 5’7 155. I like to float on top of a mattress as well.
Which bed would you recommend?
Hi Thomas,
I’d say both mattress in firm level would be enough firm for you. If you get the Winkbeds you’d have more pillow top feeling, more floating on top vs more firm less cushion on the Saatva. Saatva is cheaper a bit. For both you need to be home for delivery and setup.
Hope that helps,
Nesli
