Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Helix Elite Mattresses so special?

Helix has taken their innovative approach to mattress design for better sleep to the next level with their Helix Elite Collection. Each Helix Elite Mattress includes Helix's exclusive SupremeSupport 7.0 Ultra-Dense Memory Foam, which has 7x the comfort of a standard memory foam mattress for unmatched support that calms and relaxes the body as soon as you climb into bed. They've also designed each Elite mattress with a layer of cradling microcoils, which provide stability support and enhanced motion isolation so couples don’t wake each other in the night. Elite mattresses always include the GlacioTex Cooling Cover, a cutting-edge heat conductive fabric that draws heat away from the body for a crisp, cool feeling when you get into bed, and the ErgoAlign Contour Layer, a segment of extra-dense foam under the hips to keep them from sagging and prevent lower back discomfort.

Do Helix Elite mattresses have any safety certifications?

Yes! Every Helix Elite mattress is GREENGUARD Gold certified and made with CertiPUR-US certified foams, ensuring they meet emissions safety standards to produce only low amounts of VOCs.

What are the differences between the 7 Helix Elite Mattresses?

The Helix Elite Collection builds on Helix's strategy of offering tailored mattress models based on a sleeper's unique feel and sleep position preferences. Like the Core and Luxe collections, the Elite collection offers three models designed for side sleepers and people who toss and turn (Sunset Elite, Midnight Elite, and Twilight Elite) as well as three models for stomach and back sleepers (Moonlight Elite, Dusk Elite, and Dawn Elite). The Plus Elite mattress is designed with extra high-density foams for plus size sleepers.

Does the Helix Elite mattress work with an Adjustable Base?

Yes, each Helix Elite mattress will work great with an adjustable base. Elite mattresses are made with individually wrapped steel coils in the base of the mattress, allowing them to maintain support and durability in any elevated position.

Does the Midnight Elite require a box spring, foundation, or a particular base?

A support system for your mattress is required. We recommend a sturdy Foundation to provide correct support and avoid sagging over time. If you prefer to use something different, we recommend using a bunkie board with a box spring, or any support system with a firm, flat surface and thick slats no wider than 5.5 inches apart, which can cause sagging and void your warranty.

Reviews

Perfect mattress for back support

"The Helix Midnight Elite has been the perfect upgrade. Whatever back problems that came from my mattress are gone now. I'm a back/side sleeper. Perfect amount of sink/settling, perfect support. I sleep alone so no review of other aspects of a mattress when sleeping with a partner."

Dallin S. (5/5)

Worth every dollar!

"Wow, what a mattress! We were skeptical about buying a higher end mattress but decided it was worth the investment if it delivered the blissful sleep that was promised in the reviews. It does. We sleep so soundly that we hardly move at all. Took maybe a night or two to adjust to it and from then on it’s only been awesome. Our only complaint is that it has become harder to sleep on less comfortable beds (and we travel a lot)."

Costel Z. (5/5)

Improved sleep for a reasonable value.

"The mattress is very comfortable and has met our expectations and then some. We selected a King size and adding a foundation to the mattress on our bedframe added just the right amount of support in the center improving our satisfaction with the feel of the mattress."

Bruce C. (5/5)

Midnights soft, Twighlights a bit more firm

"I had not known that the midnight would be so squishy. My hips were having issue. I contacted Helix at day 29 and requested the Twighlight top. 10 days later I received the top at not charge. Ive been sleeping great and my hip pain is much less."

Joy P. (3/5)

Helix Midnight Elite

"I am mostly satisfied with the mattress. It is very comfortable and feels like it envelopes you. My only point of dissatisfaction is that the topper slides a little, maybe an inch, toward the side where my husband who is 70 pounds heavier sleeps and I need to reposition it in the morning when I make the bed. That’s awkward and heavy for me. It comes in two boxes so the topper isn’t connected to the foundation. That made it easier to get upstairs but the white glove option was very helpful and I would recommend it especially if you have a second floor bedroom. Two strong men were absolutely necessary to get it into our bedroom. BTW, the guys who delivered it were very professional and did a great job."

Janella P. (4/5)

Best Mattress ever!

"Best mattress we have ever owned! My husband says he has less aches and pains when he wakes up in the mornings. No wonder they can offer the 120 day trial. No way would I want to return my mattress. We love it!"

Melissa L. (5/5)

Best mattress we have ever owned.

"I have had many different mattresses in my 71 years and the Helix Midnight Elite is the most expensive mattress I have purchased, but the best mattress we have ever had. My wife's back problems went away after the first week. We both sleep all night now where before we would wake up a minimum of 2 times a night. Absolutely the best purchase we have ever made in a mattress."

Duane B. (5/5)

Love the mattress. It’s a

"Love the mattress. It’s a medium firmness with a cooling pad that helps when I have hot flashes at night. I still have to throw the covers off but not as frequently. I get a deeper night’s sleep and wake up with little to no pain. Love this mattress!"

Patricia F. (5/5)

Mind not made up

"My husband loves it and for me haven’t made up my mind - still trying to adjust to it - my sleep in bed one night and getting up in the middle of the night cause back is hurting"

Alicia B. (3/5)

Very happy with my mattress

"Very happy with my mattress so far. I've been sleeping much better, no more pressure points or joint pain."
