Helix Luxe Mattress Review
HELIX LUXE HYBRID MATTRESS REVIEW
Brand Overview
Founded in 2014, Helix is one of the most popular mattress companies on the market. The main reason for Helix’s popularity is their unique sleep quiz and the extensive mattress options available. The sleep quiz is a great tool that allows you to find the right mattress for yourself based on an algorithm that factors in your preferred sleep position, weight, comfort level, and other personal aspects.
The Helix Luxe series comprises six hybrid mattresses, each designed to cater to specific firmness preferences and sleeping positions:
Sunset Luxe: Soft (5.5/10) – Ideal for side sleepers seeking plush comfort.
Moonlight Luxe: Soft (6/10) – Suitable for back and stomach sleepers desiring a softer feel.
Midnight Luxe: Medium-firm (6.5/10) – Designed for side sleepers needing balanced support.
Dusk Luxe: Medium-firm (6.5/10) – Best for back and stomach sleepers requiring medium support.
Twilight Luxe: Firm (7/10) – Perfect for side sleepers who prefer a firmer surface.
Dawn Luxe: Firm (7.5/10) – Tailored for back and stomach sleepers favoring firm support.

FEATURES
Motion Isolation
The combination of memory foam layers and individually wrapped coils minimizes motion transfer, making it a favorable choice for couples.
Helix Sunset, Midnight, and Twilight Mattress
These models are on the softer side of their respective firmness levels. Their construction has similar constituents with memory foam comfort layer and transitory polyfoam layer. This allows the mattress to have a low-motion transfer. The Sunset model does best owing to the soft memory foam that allows the sleeper to sink in more into the mattress thereby cocooning them from their partner movements.
Helix Moonlight, Dusk, and Dawn Mattress
The Moonlight, Dusk, and Dawn mattress models are on the higher end of their firmness levels. This makes them in general better at isolating movement. The memory foam layers coupled with the transition polyfoam layer absorb motion within a region to a great extent with the Dusk model absorbing the most motion with its middle range firmness level.
Pressure Relief
The plush pillow top and adaptive foam layers contour to the body’s curves, providing excellent pressure relief, beneficial for individuals with joint pain or those prone to pressure buildup.
Helix Sunset, Midnight, and Twilight Mattress
These models fall under the lower end of their respective firmness levels. The Midnight and Twilight models offer good pressure relief. Light-weight sleepers under 130 lbs. will find that the Sunset model gives them good pressure relief and support.
Helix Moonlight, Dusk, and Dawn Mattress
The higher-firmness levels offer good pressure relief to their sleepers. The foam used in their construction allows the sleeper to sink into the mattress. This allows the body curves and joints to be cradled by the mattress.
Body Temperature Regulation
The Tencel cover, combined with the airflow-promoting coil system, facilitates effective temperature regulation, making the Helix Luxe suitable for hot sleepers.
Edge Support
Reinforced edges provided by the sturdy coil system allow sleepers to utilize the full mattress surface without experiencing significant sagging, offering a stable and consistent feel across the entire bed.
Off-Gassing
Hybrid mattresses fair better in off-gassing than their foam counterparts. This is because the coil structure allows the air to circulate freely and prevents it from getting trapped. As with all other new mattresses the Helix mattresses also have a certain amount of odor when originally unpacked. This is a very faint smell and dissipates within a few hours.
