Helix Dawn Review

Rating: 7.3
Verified
Buy Helix
The Helix Dawn mattress is a firm hybrid mattress designed for back and stomach sleepers, featuring a combination of memory foam and pocketed coils. It offers strong support and comfort, with a firmness rating of 7.5/10 for the standard model and 7.0 for the Luxe model. The mattress is suitable for couples due to its good motion isolation and strong edge support. However, it may not be ideal for side sleepers or those with hip pain due to its firmness. The mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty. It is positioned in the higher price bracket, reflecting its quality and materials. Off-gassing may occur upon unboxing but typically dissipates within 48 hours.
