I’m new to the forum and have been reading up on some of the wealth of info available here. I’ve been looking for a new king size mattress for my wife and I, and like many, didn’t want to deal with traditional mainstream stores.
Conforming to the millennial cliche, I turned to the Internet. I was almost settled on the Saatva mattress before finding the winkbeds innerspring mattress.
I emailed winkbeds asking for some in depth info. The response was prompt. The owner, Dan, also called me. I mentioned this site and he said he had already been in contact with Phoenix, so I imagine he will be chiming in with his own analysis. I’ll quote the email from Dan.
[quote]Regarding the construction layers, below is what goes into our mattress starting from top to bottom, all foams are produced in North America:
Construction
Fabric - Damask hybrid, polyester blend stretch fabric
Fire Barrier - Cotton + Boron
Sleep Surface (2")
1.5 lb density Hypersoft foam with infusion of gel (17 ILD) (1")
1.5 lb Hypersoft foam (no gel) (17 ILD) (1")
Mircro Airsprings
Foam encased 2.4 inch innerspring micro pocket coils, micro coils are individually fabric wrapped (1353/queen), and made with 17 gauge wire.
Inner panel to separate pillow top sleep surface from mattress core
Core
Pre-compressed densified cotton pad
High profile foam encased pocket coils (806/queen), coils are individually fabric wrapped, foam is 1.5 lb density and 4.5 inch wide (65 ILD). This foam is very firm and provides the perimeter support.
2 inch support base foam 1.5 lb density (28 ILD)

The comfort layer looks to be dense enough, although I would expect a gel infused foam to be denser than 1.5lb.
The 101 night money-back guarantee seems like one of the best in the online mattress business, and takes a lot of the uncertainty out of buying online.
Any input is appreciated.
