Hi dejenns1971,
[quote]I have been looking at “hybrid” beds that combine innerspring and foam and was considering WinkBeds. In regards to your concern about the 2" of 1.5lb foam in the top layers of the mattress, I am wondering how you think this compares to another mattress I looked at. It’s a model from one of the dreaded big corporate companies, but when you live in a smaller city, your in-store options are limited!
The model we looked at and liked the feel of was at Denver Mattress and the specs can be found here:
The Winkbeds is “on the edge” of having a weak link and if the 1.5 lb polyfoam was a little thinner (in the range of “about an inch or so”) or if it was a little bit higher density (1.8 lbs or higher) then it wouldn’t be a weak link in the mattress.
Having said that … it uses higher quality and more durable materials than the Simmons Nayeli Plush you linked which uses a total of 3" of 2.5 lb gel memory foam (along with another 1/2" of unidentified foam) which is a very low quality material (4 lb density memory foam is the minimum density I would consider). These would be an obvious weak link in the mattress and it contains thicker layers of much lower quality/density foams than I would consider. As you can see in the guidelines here … I would generally avoid Simmons mattresses completely (along with Sealy and Serta as well)
If you can find out the information listed here and post it on the forum I’d be happy to make some comments about the quality and durability of the materials in the Lebeda Quanta L Hybrid.
The very limited information on their website says that it contains Talalay latex comfort layers which is a high quality and durable material and that the mattress is two sided as well which would also add to the durability of the mattress (see post #3 here) so it “probably” doesn’t contain any lower quality materials that would be a weak link in the design and in this case it would have a clear advantage in terms of durability compared to the other two mattresses you linked but I would need to know if there are any other layers that are missing in the description and more specifics about the design before I can make any more specific or meaningful comments about it.
