The helix mattress is a hybrid bed with foam top layers over wrapped coils. Its design is unified across the line, but each model gives off its own vibe with a varying combination of feel, support, and pressure relief. It is available in a range of firmness levels from soft to medium and has the option to be customized for couples. Its performance and durability are tested under various conditions to ensure the product meets its claims.
During the initial signup process, Helix asks you questions about your sleep preferences, experience with back pain, and if you toss and turn during the night. From there, the company crafts a mattress that is best for you and your partner. You can also get the dual comfort design that allows you to swap out the side of the mattress with the firmness level that works best for you and your partner.
All helix mattresses feature a thick and breathable cover made from a comfortable and durable fabric that is machine-washable for easy maintenance. The layer directly below this is a layer of Helix dynamic foam, gel visco foam, or memory plus foam tailored to the particular firmness you selected. This layer provides extra comfort and pressure relief for the hips, shoulders, and lower back.
Below this, you’ll find a layer of DuraDense foam for strong base support and longevity. Next up are a series of pocketed coils that adjust to the shape of your body to reduce motion transfer and improve pressure relief, with reinforced coils along the lengthwise edges for added stability and durability. Finally, you’ll find a layer of high-grade polyfoam for the perfect amount of bounce and a transitional feel.
Every Helix mattress has a robust section of edge support to maximize the usable surface area of the mattress and prevent early sagging. They also offer a solid 10- to 15-year warranty against defects and manufacturing mistakes.
Helix ships all of their mattresses in a box, and the packaging is easy to maneuver once you’re ready to set up your new bed. You’ll want to allow about 24 hours for the mattress to fully decompress. It will be a little heavier than a traditional mattress, but you’ll have the advantage of being able to move it with ease and place it on any type of base or frame. In addition to the standard mattress, Helix also offers a number of bases and foundations that are compatible with their mattresses. All of their mattress products come with free shipping, a 100-night trial period, and a 15-year warranty. Helix also offers a variety of different discounts throughout the year to help you save money on your purchase.
