Buy Helix
The Helix Sunset mattress is a soft hybrid mattress ideal for side sleepers and those with joint pain, offering excellent pressure relief and comfort. It features a breathable polyester cover, Copper Gel Memory Foam, High-Grade Helix Responsive Foam, individually wrapped coils, and a DuraDense Foam base. It has a 100-night trial period and a 10-15 year warranty. The mattress is not recommended for stomach sleepers, heavy individuals, or couples due to its average motion isolation and edge support. The Luxe model offers better motion isolation and cooling. Overall, it is well-rated with a 4.6 out of 5 customer rating.
