Helix Moonlight Review

Rating: 7.6
Verified
Buy Helix
The Helix Moonlight mattress is a hybrid model designed for side sleepers, offering a soft feel with a combination of foam and coil layers. It excels in pressure relief, making it suitable for individuals with hip or shoulder pain. The mattress promotes airflow, keeping sleepers cool, and is available in both standard and luxe versions. The luxe version includes a Tencel cover and zoned support coils for enhanced comfort. However, it may not be ideal for stomach sleepers or individuals over 250 pounds due to its softness. The mattress has a 100-night trial period, a 10-year warranty, and is competitively priced.
