Helix Twilight Review

Rating: 7.7
Verified
Buy Helix
The Helix Twilight mattress is a firm hybrid model designed for back and stomach sleepers, featuring a blend of memory foam and pocketed coils. It has a firmness level of 7 out of 10 and is part of Helix's standard line, with a Luxe version available. Key features include cooling properties, strong motion isolation, and robust edge support. It is ideal for back and stomach sleepers, especially those who sleep hot, but may be too firm for side sleepers and those seeking deep sinkage. The mattress provides good pressure relief for back pain, is suitable for sexual activity, and has some off-gassing upon unboxing. It is competitively priced and comes with a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty.
