Helix - Twilight Elite

I have a smaller bedroom so I didn’t get a headboard. I got the helix Madison frame in white, it looks really good. I think I’d probably go firmer. I’ve had it for almost 3 weeks and it hasn’t softened too much. I tried the twilight elite alongside the midnight, still has great pressure relief but I decided medium was a safer starting point for me.

The newest line of Helix Elite models. Mine is being delivered next Monday and I’m very excited.

The midnights are pretty soft still. A month ago we got a Helix Twilight Elite and it’s incredible.

I got a Helix twilight elite last week. So far my back feels amazing. I’m a side sleeper and it’s been amazing.

It's not a one size fits all (Medium for side and firm for back). It is seriously dependant on you and your conditions. What is most important is spinal alignment and comfort which can be achieved with a firm mattress with a good coils system for support, even if it has a padded type cover with a little bit of foam or natural material for just a bit of conformance. I would look for a hybrid with solid coils system support and a tight padded quilt top (not necessarily a big euro top although that is an option) Mattresses like the Sealy Elite series in Firm with quilt or padded tops and Helix Twilight Elite... The beauty of Helix Elite is the comfort layer is encased and easily swappable while keeping the solid coil support system. Good luck.

It's not about being bought so much as editor and writer bias. I really don't trust any review sites. Plus with mattresses being so subjective, you can really only try to get good quality and craftsmanship but the actual layers and materials are different for everyone. I had looked and tried so many and had created a spreadsheet...lol. my top 5 at the end of it all was : Helix Twilight Elite King Koil Natural Cascade Sealy Albany II Elite Diamond Mattress Black Diamond Vail SF Luxe Estate was up there as well and my budget pick was a BR World Class Level 3. I ended up purchasing the Black Diamond Vail. (Has their top of the line coil system). It is a flat pack model not a rolled up box model) I really wanted the Twilight Elite from Helix as it has a fully encased comfort layer (foam and micro coils) that is swappable for different feels. If we return this one (we are early in the trial) that is the one I will probably choose but this one feels very high quality and was $800 cheaper.

Lots of good choices of innerspring mattresses with a medium to medium firm set of comfort layers that aren't overdone with memory foam (I personally hate memory foam). If you want to spend a little money again, you could go with something like a Helix Twilight Elite. It is categorized as firm but also for side sleepers and the top comfort layer under the quilt is fully encased and swappable! That encased section that is swappable is simply a thin layer of foam above and below the micro coils and includes the micro coils. Start with Twilight, which I think would fit you best but if that feels a little too firm just ask for the free swap of that encased section to their Midnight version. And even years down the road if that section feels like it needs a swap, you can order just that section. Beyond that the Sealy Elite line has their best support system zones coils and you can get it in many different feels and top types. I prefer quilt tops rather than memory foam hybrid tops. I recently bought a Diamond Mattress and the model is the Black Diamond lux quilt top in firm called the Vail. It is flat packed, has their best coil system (series 9) and just a bit of foam in the top. It is a bit firm but they make a medium model as well.

I would choose the Twilight from Helix. (Luxe or Elite)

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.

Helix Elite series are great.

Holy Carp!   My wife and I just took delivery of nearly the exact same setup.   Different adjustable bases (BedTech BT3000) and mattresses.    We went with the Helix Elite Midnight (Medium) for her side and Twilight (Firm) my side. Got new goose down duvet/duvet covers/ 800TC sheets and tonight will be the first night we sleep in it.    So looking forward to it!

I bought my 14yo twins the Helix core twilight mattresses and they are loving them. No need for all the bells and whistles. They are extremely comfortable but firm mattresses. Super happy with them, especially at under $1k each on Black Friday and TikTok coupon

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

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.

I have that mattress on display in my showroom here in downtown Los Angeles and I love the way it feels. I personally sleep on a king coil mattress and moved my Helix Elite mattress to the guest room.

If you’re okay with spending 4k on a mattress and want to stay away from bed in a box, I’d honestly just go for Tempurpedic. This sub will have you believe they’re the worst mattresses on the planet, but there’s a reason why so many mattresses on the market try to imitate their design and feel. Only thing is they don’t have a firm hybrid, just medium and soft. Firm would be the all foam version. If you’re willing to go for a bed in a box mattress, Helix Elite feels amazing, if you want firm go for the Dawn version.
