Helix Midnight Luxe Review

Rating: 7.8
Verified
Buy Helix
The Helix Midnight Luxe mattress is a high-performing hybrid model that combines poly foam, pocketed coils, and a quilted cover. It offers a medium-firm feel and is particularly beneficial for side sleepers due to its enhanced contouring capabilities. The mattress excels in cooling, motion transfer, response time, sex performance, and pressure relief, but has a longer off-gassing period and a higher price point. It is suitable for all sleeping positions and body weights, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of sleepers.
