if in case u shop around, might wanna check out Helix Midnight, they're pretty transparent abt their materials (no latex BS) and have solid return policy if something doesn't workout. Way better than dealing with sketchy local salespeople who doesn't tell u wtf is actually in the mattress u're dropping money on. Plus they do that sleep quiz thing so u're not just guessing like with those pushy mattress store dudes
GF has had a Helix Midnight and it has held up well for a couple of years. I prefer my Purple mattress as it’s not as firm or as warm as the Helix (not to say the Helix is hot, it’s just noticeably warmer than the Purple in my experience). Haven’t noticed wear issues with either Purple or Helix and I think they both have a generous return/refund policy if I recall correctly.
I have the Helix midnight and I'm a bigger dude, I guess(220lbs) I wanted to return it during the 100 night trial because it was so hot. My partner seems to like it. However, I basically sleep in a valley every night, I feel myself roll into it. I had the original purple for 7-8 years, when they refused to give me a warranty because it didn't sag "enough" I went with Helix, because I was being Petty Betty...and I hate it. I spent so much money though, so I'm stuck with Helix. I personally would not recommend Helix. If I had $10,000, I'd go get another purple because it was awesome, and that was the basic, purple grid only, not any of the new stuff.
We just got the Helix the Midnight model and so far so good. It sleeps alittle firmer than we like and its their medium firmness model with a pillowtop. I think king is around 2k and they have a 100 night test period where u can return it no questions asked
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.
