WinkBeds is a popular online mattress brand with three mattress models, but the GravityLux is the brand’s only all-foam mattress. It comes in three firmness options, features CertiPUR-US certified foams, and sleeps cooler than some foam beds.
Could the GravityLux be the foam bed you’ve been looking for? In this unbiased WinkBeds GravityLux mattress review, I took the medium model for a test drive to determine how its performance aligns with different sleep styles. Below, I’ll cover everything from its firmness and feel to its construction, edge support, performance, and much more. Let’s dive in!

I Recommend The WinkBeds GravityLux For…
- Sleepers who want multiple firmness options. If you’re looking for a model that can accommodate your specific sleep style, the GravityLux is a good choice.
- Hot sleepers who want an all-foam bed that sleeps cool. From the breathable cover to the cooling gel layers, this mattress is designed to combat heat retention and it does a surprisingly good job.
- Fans of a balanced foam feel. If you don’t like sinking into your bed, you might appreciate the gentle pushback of this mattress.
I Don’t Recommend The WinkBeds GravityLux For…
- People who like the slow-moving feel of memory foam. The GravityLux has more of a balanced foam feel, so don’t expect too much sink here.
- Budget shoppers. If you’re opting for an all-foam mattress to save money, there are less expensive models to be found.
- Heavyweight sleepers. People above about 230 lbs generally need the support that a hybrid mattress offers.
How Firm is the WinkBeds GravityLux Mattress?
The WinkBed GravityLux comes in three firmnesses: soft, medium, and firm. I tested the medium model, which veers a little firm — a 7/10 on the firmness scale.
Mattress firmness is measured on a scale of 1 (softest) to 10 (firmest). The industry standard for medium firmness is 6.5/10, so this means the GravityLux is a touch firmer than average, especially considering it’s made entirely of foam. While the foam layer up top is soft, subsequent layers are firmer and influence the feel of the mattress as a whole. Plus, it’s zoned, with a firmer feel toward the center of the mattress.
WinkBeds GravityLux Mattress Test Performance: My Overall Rating
Our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches personally tests each mattress in multiple categories, including materials, comfort, cooling, and support. Hover over the icons below to learn more about each category, or scroll down for a more detailed analysis on each one and how the GravityLux fared. Notably, it earned particularly high marks in motion transfer and scored well for support, cooling, and durability.
WinkBeds GravityLux Performance in Our Tests
Support
Mattress support refers to how well it’s able to help you maintain a neutral spine, whether you’re on your side, back, or stomach. Without adequate support, you’re left tossing and turning to find a comfortable position and inevitably waking up with aches and pains in the morning — it’s not a recipe for a good night’s sleep.
When I tested this on my back, the GravityLux offered plenty of spinal support thanks to its firm foam layers, and my hips felt comfortably aligned with my spine. It also has pronounced zoning with firmer foam toward the center of the mattress — right where sleepers need it most.
That firmer feel also offers great support for stomach sleepers, whose hips should be properly elevated to avoid drooping. And while there’s plenty of support to ensure a neutral spine for side sleepers, the firmer feel could put some pressure on the hips and shoulders.
Edge Support
Edge support describes how stable and supportive a mattress is along the edges. It’s an important feature if you have the kind of mobility issues that make getting in and out of bed tricky. Couples also appreciate good edge support, since it maximizes the sleep surface and means more room for both partners.
All-foam mattresses don’t generally have standout edge support, but the GravityLux performed a little better than expected. When I tested it by sitting on the side, I measured 2.75” of sag, which isn’t bad at all. I also fall into the heavyweight sleeper category, so lighter-weight sleepers should find sagging is pretty minimal. I also felt far more supported when I rested on my side, which more evenly distributed my weight.
Cooling
All-foam mattresses have a tendency to trap heat, since they lack the airflow that comes from a coil layer. I tested the starting temperature of the GravityLux, which measured 72 F and then tested it again after lying on the mattress for five minutes. It increased a little more than five degrees, to 77.8 F. That’s not great, but it’s not especially terrible, especially given the all-foam construction. It’s not as cooling as a latex hybrid, for example, but it is surprisingly cool for a memory foam mattress.
The GravityLux is made with a breathable Tencel cover that felt cool to the touch when I rested on it. It also has gel-infused foam and Aircell foam, which features patented air capsules to help eliminate heat buildup. These elements combined work to keep the mattress cooler than expected. Even though it’s memory foam, I didn’t feel like I was overheating. And because I didn’t sink in too far, I felt better airflow across my body.
Motion Transfer
Motion transfer refers to how much movement is felt across the bed. Anyone who shares the bed with a restless partner or pet knows the value of a mattress with low motion transfer. Generally, foam mattresses, especially those made with memory foam, do a great job of isolating motion. The GravityLux was no exception.
I gave it almost perfect marks, thanks to its ability to dampen motion in both tests. In one, I placed a glass of water on the mattress and then pressed into the surface of the bed to see how it affected the water. It didn’t move much. Next, I rested on the bed while a coworker climbed in and out and rolled around on the other side. I was aware of the activity next to me, but the mattress’s foam layers did a great job of isolating motion.
Response
Some mattress materials respond quickly when you move, bouncing back to their former shape. Memory foam isn’t generally one of them, and the GravityLux has several layers of this material. I didn’t anticipate a quick response time, but the mattress actually fared quite well.
Because it has a balanced foam feel instead of the signature sunken sensation of memory foam, it wasn’t difficult to change positions. It was surprisingly responsive, and I had the sensation that I was sleeping “on top of” the mattress instead of “inside it.”
Durability
The scores for durability are based on material quality and mattress construction. While hybrid mattresses generally last longer than all-foam mattresses because they have the added support of coils, the GravityLux is made with layers of high-density foams. It’s reasonable to expect it to perform as expected for seven to 10 years
WinkBeds GravityLux Policy Scores
Trial Period
All WinkBed mattresses have a 120-night sleep trial. It’s not the longest in the industry, but it’s not the shortest, either, and it gives you plenty of time to test the mattress from the comfort of your own home. The company asks that you sleep on the mattress for at least 30 days before making a decision. After that, you can contact WinkBeds for a full refund, and the company will arrange to have it picked up at your convenience.
Note that if you exchange or return your WinkBed and get a new one, you don’t get another trial window. Those are limited to one mattress per customer and household shipping address.
Warranty
WinkBed mattresses are backed by limited lifetime warranties that protect the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is specific about what’s covered, such as visible indentations over 1.5”, and what’s not, like regular wear and tear. In the event of a defect, WinkBed will replace the defective mattress with a brand new WinkBeds mattress in the same model and size at no charge.
One more note — the mattress needs to be placed on a firm, non-flexible frame with center support to avoid voiding the warranty.
Two-Hour Nap Test
The two-hour nap test is a great opportunity to evaluate support, comfort, pressure relief and cooling ability. Plus, it gives me a chance to snooze on the job!
Napping on my back, I felt supported and aligned, and I didn’t wake up feeling sore or overheated. But I weigh more than 270 lbs, and I wonder if I’d need more support than this mattress offers if I was sleeping on it a full eight hours night after night.
WinkBeds GravityLux – Other Factors To Consider
Here are a few other things I considered when reviewing the GravityLux.
Off-gassing
I did observe a bit of off-gassing, or a slight chemical smell, from the GravityLux, which is expected with all-foam mattresses that come in a box. It dissipated within a few days. And while it does off-gas, keep in mind the GravityLux is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams, which means it doesn’t contain ozone depleters, formaldehyde, or phthalates.
Noise
I didn’t hear any noise from this mattress while moving around on top of it, nor was I expecting to. It doesn’t have coils, which is the component that can begin to squeak. The all-foam construction means this mattress should stay noise-free over the long term.
Sex
A good mattress for sex makes it easy for partners to change positions. While the GravityLux isn’t the most responsive bed around, it should offer enough bounce to keep sexual partners from feeling stuck.
Mattress Height
At 11” tall, the WinkBeds GravityLux is an average height. Most mattresses are between 10” and 12”, but luxury models can stand 14” high or taller.
Price
A queen-size WinkBeds GravityLux costs AT CODE before sales and promotions. That puts it in the middle of the pack compared to competitors.
Sleeping Position and Weight
The medium model is ideal for back sleeping. Since it’s zoned, I felt extra lumbar support that made this position even more comfortable. Even as a bigger guy, my hips didn’t sink too far, and I even experienced some nice contouring right on top. Back sleepers should fare very well.
When I rolled to my side, the medium GravityLux model was too firm for me. I felt serious pressure on my shoulders and hips, but it should work well for lighter people. If you’re a bigger person like me, I recommend checking out my list of the best mattresses for heavy people.
On my stomach, the medium model was supportive enough. The zoned section gave me enough support under my hips to prevent any bowing. But dedicated stomach sleepers should carefully consider the firm model, which is the brand’s recommendation.
| Body Weight | Side | Back | Stomach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light (under 130lbs) |
excellent | excellent | good |
| Average (130-250lbs) |
good | excellent | good |
| Heavy (over 250lbs) |
unpleasant | good | unpleasant |
| Body Weight: Light (under 130lbs) | |
|---|---|
| Side Sleeper | excellent |
| Back Sleeper | excellent |
| Stomach Sleeper | good |
| Body Weight: Average (130-150lbs) | |
| Side Sleeper | good |
| Back Sleeper | excellent |
| Stomach Sleeper | good |
| Body Weight: Heavy (over 250lbs) | |
| Side Sleeper | unpleasant |
| Back Sleeper | good |
| Stomach Sleeper | unpleasant |
Heavyweight – 6’7”, 270 lbs
“As a larger person, I was most comfortable back sleeping on the GravityLux. Side sleeping, I pressed too far into the mattress and felt some serious pressure on my shoulders and hips. Stomach sleeping, the mattress wasn’t giving me the support I needed. Having tested the WinkBed Plus, I would say that is the better choice for someone of my weight.” – Marten
Average-weight – 5’3”, 150 lbs
“I felt really great in all three sleeping positions. On my back, I could feel the zoned support layer support my spine. On my side, I got some nice pressure relief. On my stomach, I felt like my back was in the correct alignment.” – Elisa
Lightweight Sleepers – Under 130 lbs
People who weigh less than 130 lbs should feel comfy and supported in all three sleeping positions. Smaller folks won’t compress the layers too much, so they should get the lumbar support they need.
WinkBeds GravityLux Construction
Now that you know how the mattress performs, let’s review the materials doing the heavy lifting.
Cover
The GravityLux comes with a Tencel cover that’s quilted with gel-infused foam to create a pillow top. The Tencel and the gel infusion both help the surface of this mattress sleep cool.
Comfort Layers
The main comfort layer on the GravityLux consists of a proprietary AirCell memory foam. This material is breathable and is designed to offer pressure relief along with responsiveness.
Beneath the Aircell memory foam, there’s a layer of zoned Progression foam that is firmer in some areas (to offer additional support) and softer in others (for added pressure relief).
Support Layers
The support layer on the GravityLux is made of Atlas Core Foam, a supportive and durable material that’s designed to fight sagging.

WinkBeds GravityLux vs. WinkBed
The GravityLux and the WinkBed mattress feature very different constructions. The GravityLux is all-foam, while the WinkBed is a hybrid mattress that layers gel foams over coils.
When it comes to firmness, both the GravityLux and the original WinkBed offer several options. The WinkBed comes in softer, luxury firm, firmer, and plus (for heavier people), while the GravityLux comes in soft, medium, and firm.
Given that the GravityLux and the WinkBed boast different constructions, it’s probably not surprising that they feel different. The GravityLux has a balanced foam feel with a touch of the slow-moving feel of memory foam, but overall it’s fairly responsive. The WinkBed has a bouncy, responsive innerspring feel with a plush pillow top.
One place where these beds don’t differ at all? Price. Both a queen-size GravityLux and a queen-size WinkBed start at $1799.00 (before discounts).
WinkBeds GravityLux vs. Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic is a popular innerspring mattress with a luxurious pillow top, so it differs in its construction. Like the GravityLux, it comes in a choice of firmnesses (soft, luxury firm and firm) to suit different sleep needs.
Because of its dual coil layers, the Classic is much more responsive than the GravityLux, which makes it a great match for combination sleepers and a good mattress for sex.
With its 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty, I also think the Saatva Classic has better customer service terms. Each mattress comes with free white glove delivery, and the mattresses are shipped flat. Because they aren’t compressed in a box, there’s no off-gassing. But you’ll spend more for these upgrades. The Saatva Classic mattress is $5499.00 for a queen when it’s not on sale.
WinkBeds GravityLux vs. DreamCloud
The DreamCloud is a hybrid mattress with a value price tag. A queen-size DreamCloud is just $1332.00 . It doesn’t have a choice of firmness, and it’s slightly firmer than the medium model of the GravityLux— a 7.5/10. That makes it a good pick for stomach sleepers in particular.
The coil layer makes the DreamCloud slightly more responsive as well, which is a good feature for combination sleepers. It feels more like a traditional innerspring mattress, while the GravityLux has more of a balanced foam feel.
Because of its low price tag and quality construction, the DreamCloud is a great fit for budget shoppers looking for a good mattress. On the other hand, with its three firmness levels, the GravityLux gives you more flexibility to find an appropriate feel for your sleep style.
