Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Sunset the best mattress for side-sleepers and sleepers who toss and turn?

The Helix Sunset mattress is designed with exclusive, ultra-dense memory foam layers that cradle the hips and shoulders, which often experience pressure when we sleep on our sides or we toss and turn. It is comfortable and soft, without allowing your body to sink too far into 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.

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.

What are the benefits of the Sunset mattress?

Scientifically designed to give side sleepers who love a soft mattress an excellent night of sleep.

The Sunset mattress cushions shoulders and hips to reduce pressure & pain when you wake up. It includes Helix's exclusive SupremeSupport 2.5 Memory Foam, with 2.5x more cushioning than other mattresses, to help you relax and recharge.

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

The Sunset 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 Sunset Luxe offers the high quality of the Core mattress, PLUS enhanced lumbar support and more advanced cooling & support options.

Does the Sunset mattress have any safety certifications?

The Sunset 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

My Joint Pain has an Enemy now

"I suffer from hyper mobility and joint pain, normally I have to sleep flat on my back to avoid serious pain. But this new mattress has genuinely been so nice, I can sleep on my side again! My overall pain has decreased and I wake up in the middle of the night less. I also got one of those cooling sheets and it stays on perfectly! And that knee pillow (while expensive) has been a total life saver."

— Parleigh-Ann A. (5/5)

Soft and cozy right away

"The bed was incredibly comfortable right out of the box. It says it needs 30 days to adjust but I began getting better sleep immediately. I picked the softest mattress available and it did not disappoint. I'm able to sleep on my back without any pain. The unboxing process is a unique experience as well. Would highly recommend!"

— Benjamin P. (5/5)

Good mattress

"It is an amazing mattress, i definitely plan on getting another helix when its time to replace my current sunset mattress"

— Joshua B. (5/5)

GREAT

"At first I was skeptical because I just love my old squishy bed so much. But after sleeping on it for a week I can tell a noticeable difference. Deeper sleeps, my back hurts less, my sleep score on my oura ring is always higher. I love it! THANK YOU!!!"

— trynity m. (5/5)

We wanted a soft mattress

"We wanted a soft mattress and that is exactly what we got! This is truly the best sleep I've ever gotten!"

— Tomas C. (5/5)

Pretty good so far

"So far, my sleep on the Helix Sunset has been okay. I haven't noticed a significant improvement compared to my previous Nectar mattress. It's a little firmer than I prefer and anticipated, so I use a bamboo mattress pad, which helps. I'm still deciding whether or not it was worth the swap."

— Jennifer B. (3/5)

Easiest Mattress Ever

"The easiest mattress purchase and installation we've ever made. Makes it easy to install in any bedroom. Recommend a 2 person installation, just don't open the box until it's in the bedroom."

— KEVIN G. (4/5)

Who’d a Thunk it?

"I was unsure how a mattress that came rolled up in a box could be comfortable, but that first time I laid on this one all my cynicism disappeared. This mattress delivered on everything it promised. Loving it and I sleep like a cat in a sunny window."

— Jerri H. (5/5)

Good, but not super plush.

"I went online in search of the softest, or most plush mattress and this one was ranked pretty high. I was a bit disappointed that it isn’t near as plush as I thought it would be. It works ok, but not as good as I had hoped for."

— Deborah S. (4/5)

The Best Mattress in years! In a box yet!

"A little stiff at first. Needs a little time to fully recover from being shipped in a box. After a couple of weeks break in, this mattress is the real deal! I am hyper sensitive to the fumes in modern foams. This mattress barely had any smell and within two days, no issues at all with the fumes. Definitely, and I mean definitely, recommend this mattress to anyone."

— mike p. (5/5)
