Buy Helix
The Helix Midnight is a 12-inch hybrid mattress combining gel memory foam, poly foam, and pocketed coils, designed to provide a medium-firm feel. Priced at $1,099 for a queen size, it offers good value. It excels in cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, and pressure relief, but has a longer off-gassing period. The mattress is suitable for all sleeping positions and body weights, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of sleepers.
