WinkBed $49 Comfort Exchange & Trial Reset
Comfort exchange mechanics: how WinkBed's $49 exchange fee operates, recycling your first bed, and restarting a fresh 60-night trial.
$49 Exchange Fee & 60-Day Trial Reset
Direct answer summary
If your WinkBed feels too soft or too firm during your trial, WinkBeds offers a 'Comfort Exchange' program for a flat $49 fee. WinkBeds ships you a brand-new replacement mattress in your preferred firmness level (Softer, Luxury Firm, Firm, or PLUS).
