Lab Verdict
Cooling was a wash — both mattresses landed within half a degree of each other after 60 minutes of body heat. Purple Hybrid Premier isolated motion better for couples (0.09g vs. 0.12g on the WinkBed). Side sleepers will feel less shoulder pressure on the WinkBed (peak 24 mmHg vs. 29 mmHg). Edge support also favored the WinkBed (1.7" sinkage under 230 lb vs. 2"). Purple Hybrid Premier returned more energy on rebound (58% vs. 48%), favoring combo sleepers.
