Moonlight Elite

The Elite line is a great choice. Helix uses the best foams in the industry on this line and also includes their best coil system. On top of that, this line has a fully encased swappable comfort layer that you can change without having to change the whole mattress. You could try the moonlight or sunset as both are soft the only difference would be the order of the foams in the comfort layers to better support back vs side sleepers. Great mattress line in the Elite series...

Why have you not contacted Helix directly! You can swap that encased comfort layer under the zipper (Best Part of Elite Series!). Ask them to send you a "Twilight" comfort layer. The Helix Elite use some of the densest foams around so longevity should be good.

Helix Elite series are great.

The local retailers that carry helix here (not the big stores but the smaller ones) will give you the sleep trial but under their conditions. For instance one I visited yesterday will allow you to exchange the mattress for anything in the store. Also inventory to "try" is limited. He had two luxes, and one elite. I am driving 2 hours today just so I can lay on a Helix Twilight Elite, because all the other one had was a Midnight Elite. As for the big brands, they are still valid. Sealy Pro and Elite lines have their best coil support system and are good...all the comfort options as well. The Sealy Elite Firm Quilt Top is still in my top 5. I tried the Casper's and Nectars and eliminated them right away. Also eliminated Tempur right away. Eliminated Puffy as well. Eliminated Dreamcloud as well. Interestingly in the one store yesterday they had Diamond Mattress there and their Black Diamond Firm Quilt top was very nice and is now in my top 5. I was shocked as it looks and feels like a Helix Elite series for less money. As for foundations I am considering many...either platform like Xplat, Knickerbocker Platform 360, or the awesome SD Indestruct or traditional foundations like the Big fig one or the Beloit Heavy Duty (lots of slats) or the Terra. Even if I buy more mattresses down the line, I want to do a one and done on the foundation. See if you can find a Diamond Mattress retailer near you...I was really surprised.

I ended up with the Diamond Mattress Black Diamond. I am early into my 120 night trial. It looks and feels very high quality and is heavy. It is a bit firmer than we remembered but might loosen up. If I do an exchange it will be the Helix Twilight Elite which has a swappable encased comfort layer consisting of two foam layers and micro coils. I still think that is the best but wanted to save some money...lol.

If you end up going with a big chain and a big brand mattress I recommend Sealy posturepedic in the Pro or Elite line as they have one of the best coil support systems in the industry. If you can find a store that has Internet brands on the floor try the Helix Elite series as they are fantastic and use some of the densist foams in the industry. I prefer standard quilt top foam over coil as I can't stand thick memory foam hybrids. As an example the Sealy Pro and Elite lines come in a spring series (traditional foam over coil with choice of quilt top or euro top) and hybrid series (thick memory foam over coil) and I prefer the spring series but you make like either one. This is generally the same for most foam over coil manufacturers offering these two different types of foam over coil. I personally bought a Diamond Mattress Black Diamond series foam over coil from Gardners in the "Whistler" model which was medium.

3Z brands out of Arizona make good mattresses for bed in a box options. The Helix Elite series is outstanding and can be had in all the different comfort feels. As well it has a fully encased comfort layer under the removable cover that can be swapped out without replacing the whole mattress. Has the standard 15 year warranty and then a prorated limited lifetime warranty. It is available to try at local brick and mortar stores, you just have to find them. I have three within a one hour drive that all had the luxe and elite series mattresses on the floor. They are a bit more expensive than some of the other brands made by the same company and it's due to the superior foams (higher density). If I was to buy a 3Z brands mattress it would probably be the Helix Elite.

I'm going to advise against a helix. We've tried 2 different types from them. One was way too firm and the next one below that sinks so much that we can't sit up in bed to relax and its awkward trying to roll and change positions. We plan to change to a different brand when we can. We also sleep very hot so we'll be avoiding a mattress with memory foam in it.

I'm a side sleeper who runs hot. Just bought a King size Helix Elite for about $3600 and am absolutely obsessed with it. Tbh was twice what we were planning to spend but we went to multiple mattress showrooms and it was by far the best mattress we tried. It's a lot cooler than my previous mattress (Casper which I hated) and even though the mattress is a lot firmer, it's also somehow more comfortable??? Like the mattress feels supportive but also cushy on top at the same time. I don't usually have back pains but was starting to get back and hip issues on my old mattress due to pregnancy, and a few nights on the Helix made those go away. If you can find a showroom that has the Elite (most show rooms we went to only had the Luxe, which is one tier down and nice but didn't blow us away like the Elite) definitely try it! The salesperson remarked they don't even push the Helix mattresses because they sell themselves which I absolutely believe.

I respectfully disagree. Loved the RX bed, but you can feel every move of a partner. Felt slightly warmer to me, but no real gripes besides movement/spring more than I like. If it moved slightly less, or was slightly less expensive all would have been forgiven. I love Tempurpedic, and had a cloud breeeze for 9 years as my main bed, but that price for a cooling mattress around $5k was too high. Helix Elite was excellent IMO. 3Z’s make BB too, and I wanted that feel without microcoils - thus I purchased Thermo Balance Elite.

Any thoughts on the Sealy Posturpedic Elite HighPoint II? My wife and I returned a Helix Elite recently. She hated it and I loved it. We hate the split king so just trying to find something we both like. We were debating between the Sealy, Tempurpedic Pro Adapt or a Purple Restore. We are coming from a pure latex mattress. We have had it for 13 years and it’s been pretty good for about 8 years but really went down hill for us.
