Brand guide · Founded 2015 · New York, New York
A wide range of hybrids sorted by sleeping position rather than by price tier. Midnight for side sleepers, Dusk for combination, Twilight for heavier sleepers.
We buy or independently request every mattress we test. If you buy through a link here we may earn a commission, which never affects our ranking. How this works.
Helix builds its catalogue around sleeping position instead of a good-better-best ladder, which is genuinely more useful when you know how you sleep. Each model exists in a standard version and a Luxe version; the Luxe adds a zoned lumbar layer, a pillow top and a longer warranty for roughly $600 more.
The Midnight Luxe is the model we recommend most often. Its zoned coil layer is firmer under the hips and softer under the shoulders, which is the construction that makes a medium mattress work for side sleepers without letting the pelvis drop.
Helix runs frequent discounts, and the list price is rarely the price. We record what we paid and when, because a Helix "sale" is close to a permanent condition.
Zoned coils that are firmer under the hips and softer under the shoulders. The best pressure-relief numbers we have measured on a mattress that still supports the pelvis.
The softest mattress we recommend. Built for side sleepers under about 130 lb, where every medium-firm hybrid on this site will feel like a board.
