WinkBeds Blue B2 Review: How It Compares With The WinkBed
The WinkBeds Blue Collection B2, also called Blue Series 2, is a distinct mattress to compare alongside the standard WinkBed. Its 17-inch profile and combination of latex, comfort foams, and pocketed coils make it especially relevant when you want a substantial mattress with a different surface response.
Our recommendation: compare B2 with The WinkBed Luxury Firm first, then test another firmness if needed. Buy B2 when you prefer the way it cushions and supports you, not simply because it is taller or part of a premium collection. It is on display in our Colonial Heights showroom.

What is inside the Blue B2?
The HIS101S manufacturer specification sheet identifies a 17-inch, luxury-firm design with a cooling cover, EssentialGel foam, copper-infused Talalay latex, Serene foam, and a pocketed-coil system with edge zoning. This is a different construction from treating the standard WinkBed as one mattress offered in four firmnesses.
| B2 feature | What to evaluate |
|---|---|
| 17-inch profile | Finished bed height, sheet depth, and ease of getting in and out |
| Latex-containing comfort system | How quickly the surface responds when you turn |
| Comfort foams and quilted surface | Shoulder and hip cushioning after several minutes |
| Coils with edge zoning | Usable space near the side of the mattress |
| Luxury-firm designation | A starting description, not a guaranteed feel for your body |
How should the B2 comparison feel different?
Latex generally has a quicker rebound than slow-conforming memory foam. A mattress that includes latex can therefore be worth trying if you like cushioning but dislike feeling held in an impression. The other comfort layers still influence the finished feel, so one material does not tell the whole story.
Test the response with your whole body. Lie still, roll to your second sleeping position, and sit up. If the surface feels easier to move on than another mattress, decide whether that difference matters in your nightly routine. If you prefer a slower, more enveloping feel, a different construction may be a better match.
A deep top can look plush while the mattress remains relatively firm beneath it. Do not assume that 17 inches means very soft. Compare pressure and support in your usual position.
Blue B2 vs. The WinkBed
| Shopping issue | Blue B2 | The WinkBed |
|---|---|---|
| Decision to make | Do you prefer this particular premium construction? | Which of the four comfort versions fits you? |
| Showroom comparison | One B2 floor model | Softer, Luxury Firm, Firmer, and Plus floor models |
| What to focus on | Response, cushioning, overall height, and value | Firmness choice, pressure relief, and support preference |
| Purchase terms | Verify B2-specific written coverage | Verify terms for the selected standard model and purchase channel |
Start with The WinkBed Luxury Firm to establish a reference. If it is too firm, compare Softer before assuming B2 is the solution. If you want a mattress specifically designed around higher body weights, include Plus. Our four-version WinkBed firmness guide helps separate those decisions.
Who should give B2 a closer look?
- Shoppers who want cushioning but prefer a more responsive surface.
- People comparing substantial luxury mattresses for a main bedroom.
- Couples who want to test motion and edge comfort together.
- Anyone who likes WinkBeds but wants to feel how the Blue construction differs.
Side sleepers should give the lower shoulder time to settle. Back sleepers should check whether the pelvis and lower back feel comfortable. Stomach sleepers should look closely at midsection sinkage. The luxury-firm label is not a reason to skip any of those checks.
The practical tradeoffs of a 17-inch mattress
Height is the most obvious ownership issue. Add 17 inches to your frame and foundation, then compare that total with a bed you can comfortably enter and leave. A tall mattress can also cover more of a headboard than you expect.
Measure fitted-sheet pocket depth rather than assuming anything called deep-pocket will fit. Include the protector in your planning. If you use an adjustable base, confirm the exact pairing, dimensions, support requirements, and any relevant weight limits before ordering.
Plan the delivery route and setup as well. Mattress size, turns in stairs, and bedroom access are separate from whether the mattress fits the bed frame.
Cooling and motion: test the whole experience
A cooling cover and copper-containing material do not establish that B2 will sleep cooler than every alternative. Notice the initial surface feel and how much of the mattress surrounds you. Then consider your protector, sheets, and room conditions.
For motion, have one partner turn and get out while the other remains still. For edges, lie near the side where you normally sleep. Do not confuse how much a quilted surface compresses under a seated person with whether the sleeping perimeter feels secure.
Do not assume the standard WinkBed warranty applies
The B2 HIS101S specification sheet reviewed for this guide lists a 10-year non-prorated warranty. That is different from the lifetime-warranty language shoppers may associate with the standard WinkBed.
Confirm the current written warranty for the exact B2 supplied and the terms attached to your order. Likewise, do not transfer a direct-brand sleep trial or another retailer's return offer to this purchase. The specific paperwork matters more than a general brand headline.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blue B2 just a taller standard WinkBed?
No. It is a separate Blue Collection model with its own construction and specifications.
Is B2 soft?
The reviewed manufacturer sheet calls it luxury firm. Test it rather than judging firmness from the thick top.
Can I compare B2 with all four WinkBed comfort versions?
Yes. Our current floor lineup includes B2 plus Softer, Luxury Firm, Firmer, and Plus.
