WinkBeds vs DreamCloud - which hybrid is better for back sleepers?
Anonymous

I'm 5'10", 180 lbs, primarily a back sleeper with occasional lower back pain. I've narrowed it down to the WinkBeds Luxury Firm and the DreamCloud Premier. Both are in similar price ranges. Anyone tried both? I'm especially curious about edge support and lumbar contouring. My current mattress is a 10-year-old Sealy that's completely shot.

I've had the WinkBeds Luxury Firm for about 14 months now. The edge support is exceptional - I sit on the edge to put on shoes and there's barely any compression. The lumbar support from their zoned coils is noticeable. I'm 5'11", 190 lbs and a back sleeper. The DreamCloud felt softer when I tried it in a showroom, which might not be ideal for back sleeping. Go WinkBeds.
DreamCloud owner here. It's fine for the price but the edge support is mediocre compared to what I've read about WinkBeds. My biggest complaint is the cover material traps heat. If back support is your priority, the WinkBeds coil system is likely better engineered.
Consider the WinkBeds EcoCloud if you want a natural option. It's Talalay latex over pocketed coils and the support is incredible for back sleepers. Slightly more expensive but the latex won't break down like foam does.
