Our Verdict

Purple Mattress

WinkBeds The WinkBed

The Purple Mattress and WinkBeds The WinkBed have different strengths. The Purple is a more supportive option for lighter back/stomach sleepers. It offers much better cooling and a more durable design. The WinkBeds mattress offers better support for average-weight people, making it a better choice for back/stomach sleepers in that weight category.
