Helix - Dusk Luxe

My wife and I were torn between Purple and Helix. Tried Purple in-store and honestly? It felt like lying on a giant Dr. Scholl’s insole. Not bad, just bizarre. Some people say your body adjusts but we didn’t want to gamble. Went Helix Dusk Luxe instead and it’s been perfect. Supportive for her back sleeping, still cushy enough for me on my side. Biggest surprise was how cool it stays—no more sweaty 3 a.m. wake-ups.[](https://lovable.dev/projects/1c71fe17-d814-4e81-985f-313264583bed?utm_source=lovable-badge)

Back pain usually comes from the mattress letting your hips sink too much. Foam beds like Tempur or Casper feel good at first, but they don’t always keep your spine lined up. Hybrids are better since the coils give structure and the foam adds pressure relief. Helix is worth a look because they offer an ErgoAlign layer that’s zoned to support your lower back. The Midnight Luxe is their most popular, but for back pain I’d lean toward the Dusk Luxe since it’s firmer through the middle. Even their Core line has the same upgrade option if you want to spend less.

Another vote for helix. We love our firm helix king mattress and we have the cooling gel top.

Yes, same with my helix mattress. It’s not a memory foam mattress, those are hot as other people have said. The cooling gel feels so good that my kid is always climbing on the mattress and laying on it going « ahhhhh refreshing » 😆

I was told by a friend of mine's wife who was in the mattress business for ages, that coil turns is the way you want to go. Meaning it's not only the number of coils themselves, but also the amount of turns in each coil. That being said, I've been sleeping on a helix for a couple years, and couldn't be happier. I found a local dealer, stopped by on some holiday weekend "best sale of the year" type of thing, and the owner beat the the price direct from helix by quite a bit. So don't overlook the little place that offers a bed in a box type of thing.

My helix has the cooling top. I also have a rest evercool comforter paired with it. I don't think the mattress cover is a gimmick. But I would also say to temper your expectations. It's not exactly cold underneath you. But it is cooler than it would be without one. I combined mine with a cooling mattress pad, and I found it to be too cool. The cooling cover on the helix, plus a regular mattress pad is just right for me.

We got just over 9 out of our Helix (with a good foam topper for the last year), so yeah that tracks. Funnily enough, there's no detectable sagging on it. We just kinda started noticing stiff shoulders and lower backs in the mornings. I guess the foam overall started losing support.

I should've went with Casper! We got a helix and absolutely HATE it.

I’ve bought Casper, Tuft & Needle, and Helix. my favorite is the Helix mattress with the Tuft & Needle pillows- but of course every body is different. for me the Helix feels significantly more cooling and supportive but it was also the most expensive of the 3. I like the Tuft & Needle mattress well enough too but compared to the Helix it does sleep slightly hotter and not as much edge support. Some have commented the T&N feels hard but I prefer it! Helix just forms to my spine even more so and I believe does have some springs, so I think that makes it a bit more comfy but I really had no complaints when I only had the T&N

My Helix is 4 years old and still feels brand new. Can’t say the same for the Casper I had before—it sagged within a year.

helix is def a good reco tbh same with Titan Plus luxe

If there is one thing you don't go cheap on is a mattress! I know its a mattress salesmen pitch but it is true...Don't skimp on something you will be using 1/3 of your time and which has a multitude of impacts on your health. First you need to determine your predominant sleep position for firmness. Don't go all memory foam unless its a tempurpedic, and those are expensive. On the budget friendly side stick with combination of memory foam and springs, I can honestly recommend Brooklyn Bedding , I had the Auorora Luxe and I got the best sleep ever as a side/back sleeper who suffered from shoulder and back pain. Helix is their upscale brand and equally good with more premium materials. When we upgraded to a king size bed, we went with organic latex from Avocado.The good thing about the internet only vendors is long trial periods and no interest payment plans if you cant unload a few thousand on the spot. Costco is another viable option with their forever return policy also, and they have good prices on run of the mill mattresses. Stay away from mattress and furniture stores, quality is crap and huge markups.
