My husband and I are in need of a new mattress. For context, we own a queen size original Casper memory foam mattress purchased in 2018. I have had shoulder and neck pain from it for the past few years, but recently it is becoming much worse.
Weight/height: I am 105lbs, 5ft and my husband is 170lbs, 5’9”.
Sleep position: I am a combo, but mostly side and stomach. I toss and turn a lot. My husband is primarily a back sleeper, sometimes side.
Current issues: The mattress provides me no support and creates a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I think I am too light to sink into it. Especially obvious when my husband is also in bed because all of the support falls on his side and I feel like I’m rolling into him. There is also no edge support which we kinda need on a queen sized bed. My husband experiences periodic back and shoulder pain, but has admitted he doesn’t have as many issues as I do (hence why I’m writing this post).
I have found I sleep far better on hotel beds, Japanese futons and my couch (where I end up half the time lol).
I am looking at the following mattresses:
\- Tempurpedic pro adapt medium hybrid
\- Winkbed luxury firm
\- Saatva Classic in luxury firm (or plush soft? Not sure yet)
My budget is $2,500
Anyone similar size as me have experience with these mattresses?
Yes, you’re right. I just tried the Winkbed luxury firm and it’s too firm for me. My partner did not like the Leesa.
Any thoughts on the Helix Midnight Luxe?
I wish we had splurged for an avocado or naturepedic but it just wasn’t in the budget as newlyweds! We have had our wink bed for 5 years, and it has been great to us. It avoids most of the nasties.

If you’re on a tighter budget but don’t want to comprise on quality, hop on FB marketplace and find a local mattress reseller. They’re often selling loads of like-new trial/returns mattresses that have been cleaned and sanitized. I was able to grab an $1800 Winkbed for $400 this way - and the mattress looks pretty much brand new.
I’ve tested a handful of these mattresses myself. As a stomach sleeper, the WinkBed Plus is awesome. Thing is built like a tank and should last a while, too. I would probably get it if I didn’t already love mine.
I have the Titan Plus Elite at home and it’s the best sleep I’ve ever gotten. No more wonky lower back pain.
I'd choose either the Firmer WinkBed or the WinkBed Plus over the Helix Midnight line having tried both brands/models. I switch between my stomach and side and prefer something on the firm/extra firm side. The WinkBed Luxury Firm is also nice, I'd say it's a smidge firmer than the base Midnight. But if you're looking to be "on top" of your bed, I'd go even firmer.

Yeah, all of the Helix Luxe models have that plush cover layer that has more of a sinky feeling. The base version Dawn is pretty firm (and this is also the Helix I'd go with for my preferences). I'd say it's firmer than the WinkBed Luxury Firm but not by much. If you liked the WinkBed Luxury Firm in the showroom, it's not a bad choice at all. I also genuinely enjoy lying down on the floor, so also keep that in mind when reading over what I have to say lol.
