It may not seem like it, but the online mattress market can be a cutthroat business. Every couple of months, a brand comes out with a new mattress that knocks the current bestselling one out of its place in the pecking order. The WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress – with its thick, Talalay latex layer and individually-wrapped innerspring support system – promises to deliver zoned support and maximum pressure relief for all sleeper types…but does it? Read on to find out.

Our experience with the WinkBeds EcoCloud Mattress
Let me get straight to the point here – the WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress is not what I thought it was going to be nor what I wanted it to be.
That’s not to say that it is a bad mattress, it really isn’t.
But compared to all the other latex hybrid mattresses that are currently being churned out by the minute by all these other online mattress brands, the WinkBeds EcoCloud just falls kinda flat.
Sure it has great edge support and we all know by now that mattresses made from pure latex are naturally cooling and hypoallergenic but that seems to be all that it has going for it. Everything else is just… mid.
I was surprised by this because I really liked the Winkbeds base model, but this one just wasn’t my cup of tea.
WinkBeds calls their EcoCloud mattress a medium but I found it more to be of a medium-firm feel if I’m being quite honest which means it won’t really give strict side sleepers the right amount of pressure relief and comfort that they would need which could prove to be problematic.
If you’re a stomach or back sleeper, however, the medium firmness of the WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress would not only provide you with enough comfort and pressure relief but also help you achieve proper spinal alignment.
Firmness
The WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress sits on a 6 on the mattress firmness scale which gives it a medium-firm feel.
While medium-firm mattresses can usually accommodate most sleeper types including stomach and back sleepers, the WinkBeds EcoCloud may be a bit too firm for strict side sleepers, especially those who weigh less than average.
Being a hybrid mattress, the WinkBeds EcoCloud can accommodate heavier-set people and provide them with the extra support they need.
Cooling Test
We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to cooling.
As I’ve mentioned previously, the WinkBeds EcoCloud is made from a combination of Talalay latex foam and pocketed coils.
Pure latex foam is naturally cooling and does not retain heat like man-made foam can and along with the addition of a coil unit in the WinkBeds Ecocloud makes for a bed that helps you sleep cool.
Motion Transfer Test
We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 6.5 out of 10 when it comes to motion isolation.
If you share a bed with a partner or a pet, I should tell you right off the bat that the WinkBeds EcoCloud is not the mattress for you – I experienced quite a significant amount of motion transfer when I tried the mattress out with a partner.
Edge Support Test
We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud an 8.5 out of 10 when it comes to edge support.
Edge support is where the EcoCloud really shines.
The mattress’ coil unit features a proprietary Extra-Edge anti-sag support system that surrounds the perimeter of the mattress providing really good and really stable edge support.
Pressure Relief/Comfort Test
We rate the WinkBeds EcoCloud a 7 when it comes to pressure relief and comfort.
Had the WinkBeds EcoCloud been a tiny bit softer, we would have scored it a point higher but it’s a little too firm for those who sleep on their sides.
You know what this means right? It means that strict side sleepers won’t get the amount of pressure relief they need which will result in a not so comfortable sleeping experience.
If you’re a back or stomach sleeper however, it’s a different story.
The WinkBeds EcoCloud’s firmer mattress feel should be good for you since it helps provide lumbar support while still giving you the pressure relief you need (even if you weigh a bit more than average).
Construction
Technically, there are only 2 layers to the Winkbeds EcoCloud mattress.
The mattress cover is made from a blend of organic cotton and New Zealand wool that’s breathable and temperature-regulating.
The comfort layer of the WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress is made up of premium Talalay latex which, as I’ve said, is naturally cooling and hypoallergenic.
Latex foam is also more responsive than man-made foam which means you won’t get that stuck in the mud feel that’s usually associated with mattresses that are made with memory foam.
Next comes the coil unit which makes up the majority of the mattress.
Made up of recycled steel coils that have been tempered 3x, these coils also come individually wrapped which (supposedly) help with deadening any cross mattress movement. The WinkBeds coil system also helps provide zoned support for the main areas of the body.
Now comes the non-technical part – the WinkBeds EcoCloud also features an innerspring support core which they refer to as the Extra-Edge anti-sag support system.
The Extra-Edge core is made up of innerspring coils that are firmer and they span the perimeter of the entire mattress which helps provide better edge support.
The WinkBeds EcoCloud mattress’ coil unit also acts as its base layer and helps provide stability and durability to the entire mattress.
