Buy Helix
The Helix Midnight Elite mattress is a high-end hybrid mattress designed for exceptional comfort, support, and cooling. It features a 16-inch height, a plush quilted cover, and a medium firmness rating of 5.5 out of 10. The mattress uses advanced materials like poly foams and pocketed microcoils, providing a balanced feel, deep sinkage, and moderate bounce. Key features include excellent cooling performance, deep sinkage for pressure relief, moderate motion transfer, quick response time, outstanding edge support, good performance for sexual activity, and initial strong off-gassing. The mattress is constructed with high-quality materials and comes with a 100-night trial period and a 10-year warranty. It is particularly suitable for side sleepers and those who prioritize cooling and pressure relief.
