Our In-Depth WinkBed GravityLux Bed Review for 2024

Side Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Most lightweight side sleepers should feel comfortable on this mattress, especially due to its all-foam, cradling design. However, some petite folks may find that this mattress too firm to sleep comfortably through the night.
• Average Weight Sleepers – Average-weight sleepers should do well on this mattress. Its soft enough to cushion their pressure points, but firm enough to maintain spine alignment.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavyweight sleepers may sink too deeply into the top comfort layers, which may cause them to bottom out to the lower support layer. While some may enjoy pressure relief, others may find the medium-firmness of this bed doesn’t provide adequate support.

Back Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers should fare well on the GravityLux. Its soft enough to contour to their lower back and shoulders without compromising support.
• Average Weight Sleepers – This mattress should keep back sleepers of average weight content and comfortable. The all-foam construction and targeted lumbar support promote healthy spine alignment.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – The majority of heavyweight back sleepers should find that the GravityLux mattress meets their needs. However, for those who weigh over 300 pounds may prefer a more supportive mattress built specifically for their weight group.

Stomach Sleepers

• Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight stomach sleepers should find that that mattress provides a stable and supportive platform for their preferred sleeping position. The foams contour to the chest and shoulders, while the medium firmness level offers enough support to keep the hips raised and spine aligned.
• Average Weight Sleepers – Most average-weight folks who sleep on their stomachs should find that this mattress keeps their hips from sagging, which should help alleviate any back pain.
• Heavyweight Sleepers – People who sleep on their stomachs and weigh over 230 pounds, may find that this mattress allows their hips to sag too far in the bed, thus throwing their spine out of alignment.

Pressure Relief & Pain

Sleepers looking for pressure relief in key areas like the shoulders and hips should be very impressed with the conforming properties of this bed. The AirCell™ materials are designed to offer targeted pressure point relief by offering a balance of contouring and pushback support in specific zones. While most all-foam mattresses perform well when it comes to relieving pressure, many leave you sinking deep into the bed where you may feel stuck. Thankfully, this shouldn’t be a problem with the GravityLux, although some body types may experience this mattress differently.

Back Pain – The all-foam construction combined with the bed’s medium-firmness level should provide excellent lumbar support and relief.
Hip Pain – Most sleepers should find that the GravityLux contours to their hips, relieving excess pressure. However, some sleepers – particularly heavyweight folks – may find that they sink too deep into this mattress, which can exacerbate hip pain.
Shoulder Pain – Side sleepers are more susceptible to shoulder pain since this area bears the brunt of their body weight, but the GravityLux should offer ample pressure relief in this position. The foams cradle your body, which helps relieve shoulder pain.

Support

The amount of support found in a mattress is important for the health of your spine and your overall comfortability. Luckily, the GravityLux’s AirCell™foams were designed to mold to your body for dynamic support. The Zoned Progression Foam™ layer also has five unique support zones with varying levels of pressure that should work to keep your spine properly aligned.These foams also work together to absorb motion and reduce bounce. This does sacrifice some responsiveness, but overall, the pressure-relieving benefits should be worth it. While the materials may not assist moving around, most combination sleepers shouldn’t struggle to change position, though folks who have mobility issues may need to keep this in mind.

Motion Transfer

The GravityLux performed exceptionally when it came to preventing motion from transferring from one side of the mattress to the other. This mattress features AirCell™ foam that was built using patented shock-absorbing air capsules. In other words, these capsules were designed to minimize motion transfer. We tested the motion transfer by placing a glass of water on one side of the bed and creating motion on the other side. The water was virtually unmoved even as the tests grew more vigorous. Therefore, if you are someone who is often kept awake by the tossing and turning of your sleep partner, the GravityLux should provide excellent motion isolation.

Temperature Regulation / Cooling

Traditional visco-elastic foams are known for retaining warmth, which could be an issue for sleepers who struggle with overheating at night. The GravityLux features cooling gel in the cover and its own patented open-cell foam that is designed to allow air to flow freely throughout. However, while the GravityLux should sleep cooler than other all-foam mattresses, it’s worth noting that it likely still sleeps warmer than a hybrid bed made with coils. Therefore, extra hot sleepers may want to invest in a cooling mattress.

Performance for Couples

The GravityLux doesn’t provide much bounce, therefore, sexually active couples may find it harder to reposition in this bed. However, the GravityLux performs well in other key areas like motion isolation and support, so those with restless sleep partners should be able to sleep undisturbed through the night.

Construction: What’s Inside the GravityLux?

The GravityLux mattress stands 11 inches tall and contains premium foam materials. The foams used in the construction of this bed are free from viscoelastic materials which helps set this bed apart from many of its competitors. An eco-friendly Tencel® cover starts the mattress off. It absorbs moisture and heat, and wicks them away to the outside edges of the bed’s surface.In addition, two-inches of gel-infused foam is tufted to the Tencel cover. This soft foam material promotes further temperature regulation. Additionally, the comforting plushness of the top layer helps provide pressure relief.

• The first layer beneath the cover is AirCell™ Memory Foam. This material was designed to relieve pressure while fostering support. The material should provide great motion isolation with its shock-absorbing air capsules, is made to be breathable so you can sleep cooler throughout the night.
• The second layer contains Zoned Progression Foam™ which is made to provide targeted support to sensitive areas to help sleepers rest in optimal alignment. It sports firmer support in the hips and is softer beneath the legs and shoulders.
• The third layer is the brand’s proprietary Atlas Core Foam™. This is a strong material that the brand claims should provide a lifetime of durability. It supports your body weight and works as the overall foundation of the product.

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

The GravityLux comes rolled and compressed in a box. Although set-up is relatively easy once it arrives, you may want to have a friend handy to help you move it into place. Once you have the mattress in its desired room, simply cut up the top of the box and pull your mattress out. Once you remove the plastic covering, your mattress should start to inflate. While this process shouldn’t take long, give your mattress 24-72 hours to be fully inflated.

As your bed starts to take shape, you may notice a chemical smell. While unpleasant, the smell is harmless, and it should dissipate in around 24 hours. Placing your mattress in a well-ventilated area can help eliminate the smell faster.
