What We Like
Zoned Support for Perfect Alignment: Firmer coils under the hips and softer coils under the shoulders actively promote a healthy spinal posture all night long
Unbeatable Pressure Relief: The premium quilted pillow top works in harmony with memory foam layers to masterfully cushion pressure points
Excellent for Couples: Its combination of robust edge support and outstanding motion isolation means you can use the whole bed without waking your partner
Actively Cools Throughout the Night: A breathable Tencel or optional GlacioTex™ cover, combined with airflow-promoting coils, ensures comfortable sleep temperature
What We Don't Like
Not Ideal for Most Stomach Sleepers:
The plush surface may allow the hips of stomach sleepers to sink too far, potentially causing lower back strain.
May Be Too Soft for Heavyweight Back Sleepers:
Back sleepers over 230 lbs might require a firmer model for optimal support and to prevent sinking.
Zoned Support: The Secret to Spinal Alignment
The true genius of the Helix Midnight Luxe lies in its coil system. Unlike standard mattresses that offer uniform firmness, the Luxe features strategically zoned lumbar support. This means the coils directly beneath your torso and hips are firmer, preventing your midsection from sinking and keeping your spine in a healthy, neutral line. Simultaneously, the coils under your shoulders are slightly softer, allowing for more give. For side sleepers, this is a game-changing design that actively works to eliminate morning back pain and stiffness.
A Cloud-Like Feel Without the Quicksand
The moment you lie down, you'll notice the immediate comfort of the premium quilted pillow top. It provides a luxurious, hotel-bed feel that cradles you without that restrictive "stuck" feeling common in traditional memory foam beds. This top layer, combined with high-density Memory Plus Foam, contours perfectly to your body's curves, delivering exceptional pressure relief that allows your shoulders and hips to sink in just the right amount.
Cool, Calm, and Collected All Night Long
One of the biggest complaints about foam mattresses is heat retention. Helix tackles this head-on. The standard cover is made from Tencel, a material known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. For those who sleep extra hot, the optional GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover is a worthy upgrade, offering an instantly cool-to-the-touch sensation. This is all backed by the hybrid design itself—the space between the coils allows for constant airflow, dissipating heat far more effectively than an all-foam block.
Masterful Motion Isolation for Undisturbed Sleep
If you share your bed with a restless partner, the Midnight Luxe is a relationship-saver. The individually wrapped coils are brilliant at absorbing movement, meaning you're far less likely to feel your partner tossing, turning, or getting out of bed. We also found its edge support to be excellent. The reinforced perimeter allows you to sleep or sit comfortably right up to the edge of the mattress without feeling like you might roll off, effectively maximizing the usable surface area of your bed.
