GhostBed Luxe vs WinkBed The WinkBed: What Actually Differs

Profile-wise they're almost identical — the GhostBed Luxe measures 13" and the WinkBed The WinkBed measures 13.5", so neither will dictate your sheet depth or bed-frame compatibility.

On a Queen, the WinkBed The WinkBed runs $1,924 versus $1,999 for the GhostBed Luxe — roughly $75 (4%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
