Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the Plus mattress?

Scientifically designed to give plus-size sleepers who love a medium-feel mattress an excellent night of sleep. Optimal for all sleep positions supporting up to 1000 lbs. Contours hips & shoulders while maintaining spinal alignment, with enhanced support and durability. Includes Helix's exclusive SupremeSupport 2.5 Memory Foam, with 2.5x more cushioning than other mattresses, to help you relax and recharge.

Why is the Helix Plus great for all sleeping positions?

The Plus mattress is designed with exclusive, ultra-dense memory foam layers that cradle the hips and shoulders and align the spine, making it optimal for any sleeping position. Crafted from durable foams and springs, the Plus ensures you get the support you need, without any sagging or dipping in the middle of the mattress.

How does the GlacioTex Cooling Cover work?

The GlacioTex Cooling Cover is a great option for people who like that feeling of crisp, cool sheets when they get into bed each night. Made from Helix's cutting-edge, heat conductive fabric, the GlacioTex Cooling Cover draws heat away from the surface of the mattress for a cool-to-the-touch feel — while also feeling soft and comfortable beneath you.

What's the difference between the Plus and Plus Luxe?

The Plus mattress is great if you’re looking for a superior mattress at a great price, including deluxe foams for comfort and cooling options. But the Plus Luxe offers the high quality of the Core mattress, PLUS enhanced lumbar support and more advanced cooling & support options.

Does this mattress require a box spring, foundation, or a particular base?

A support system for your mattress is required. It is recommended to use the Helix Foundation to provide correct support and avoid sagging over time. If you prefer to use something different, it is recommended to use 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.

Does the Plus mattress have any safety certifications?

The Plus mattress, like every Helix mattress, is assembled in their Arizona facility, allowing Helix to ensure the highest quality every single time. Helix mattresses are GREENGUARD Gold Certified and made with CertiPUR-US certified foams, which guarantees they are made without any harmful chemicals including ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and have extremely low impact on indoor air quality.

Reviews

RELIEF

"Helix plus is pretty firm, had a great night sleep from the first night. My partner likes medium but really likes the plus. love that when one of us gets out of bed during the night you don’t feel it, which does not disturb your sleep. Great for back relief. I wish I could find a pillow that i could be comfortable with, does it exist? I have not bought a helix pillow don’t know the cost."

Juanita S. (5/5)

This is definitely the best

"This is definitely the best mattress I've ever had. It's very comfortable and has helped my back pain a lot. I've had it for a couple of months now, and it still feels just as good as when I first got it. I'm very happy with my purchase. Assembly was quick and easy for both the frame and the mattress."

Barbara A. (5/5)

Helix Plus full size

"I'm more comfortable at night with less waking up. I'm an older person and I still have episodes of sleepless nights with pain. My previous mattress was very old and had bad spots which were uncomfortable to lay on. My new Helix plus mattress is a blessing to me. I thank you all but I thank God most of all for being able to afford it."

Deborah T. (5/5)

Better Sleep Quality

"This is the best mattress we have had. It is supportive for both side and back sleeping and I have many restful night sleeps. I would recommend this to anyone who needs excellent night sleep."

Jeremy W. (5/5)

Firm but soft and supportive

"The bed is firm but soft which is what we wanted. I worry about the sides/edges, they are not firm providing edge support. I would like them firmer to maintain the bed's structural integrity. A strong perimeter reinforces and prevents the mattress from sagging, or collapsing. When weight is applied to the outer boundaries, which is critical for safety and comfort. So I guess time will tell. Our backs and hips are much happier, though, with this new mattress"

Natasha C. (4/5)

Muy Bueno

"My husband (6'5" 220lbs) loves this bed. He has consistent back pain, despite being in shape, and our Helix mattress has helped alleviate some of that. He also sleeps hot but has had no heat complaints so far. 2 months in, and we're happy with our purchase."

Kriston C. (5/5)

Very firm

"It seems very firm for a mattress that was advertised as medium firm. I am accustomed to soft mattresses, and I am still acclimating to the Helix Plus. I do think the mattress is a good quality."

Lori a. (3/5)

Poor fit

"This mattress was not a good fit for me, so I exchanged it. It was too firm, but strangely formed a crater around me as I slept, so I felt stuck. Within two weeks of sleeping on it, I felt far more painful than on my old mattress."

Sandy J. (2/5)

The gel top is wonderful.

"The gel top is wonderful. It is so soft and supportive at the same time. Hate getting out of bed!"

Amy H. (5/5)

Unsure about helix plus with ergo align

"I’m not sure how I feel. I’ve work up with a sore back a couple times and sweaty. I’ve also tossed and turned quite a bit and haven’t noticed a real improvement. So I’m not sure if the mattress is too firm"
