Our Favorite Helix Mattresses

Having to start your day early sleep deprived? We’ve all been there!  That feeling of dragging yourself out of bed without enough sleep is no fun.  And on a travel day, it can make everything feel less enjoyable or, even worse, ruin your entire trip. That’s why quality sleep is important, especially the day before and right after you travel.

A good night’s sleep the day before you travel translates to optimal preparation. You’ll be less likely to forget anything important, like your boarding pass or that souvenir you promised your nephew.  You’ll also have the best mindset to tackle any unexpected obstacles that may come your way, like a flight delay or a detour on your road trip.

The day you first return from traveling is often overlooked.  Not many realize the importance of getting enough sleep that day.  Ever felt like you need a day off from your vacation?  Well, that might be because you didn’t have enough sleep the first day you were back. A good night’s sleep the first day you’re back home after days (or even weeks) of traveling is a good reset to prep you to be ready to go back to your routine.

For quality sleep, we recommend Helix mattresses. They’re not just comfortable but also offer a variety of choices depending on your type of sleeper. Below are our top picks from the Elite category. Helix also has more affordable categories: Luxe and Core.

Helix Moonlight Elite

Can’t decide between a plush or supportive mattress? The Helix Moonlight Elite, from their Elite line, might be your happy medium. This mattress caters to a variety of sleep styles, including side sleepers, back sleepers, and even some stomach sleepers who prefer a softer feel.

The secret lies in its construction. The Moonlight Elite uses multiple foam layers, potentially including a plush top layer for initial comfort and supportive foam layers underneath. This combination aims to provide a gentle cradle that conforms to your body’s curves while maintaining a balanced firmness throughout. The zoned support system, potentially achieved through varying foam densities, might offer additional lift in the lumbar region for back sleepers. This balance between pressure relief, comfort, and spinal alignment makes the Moonlight Elite a versatile option for those who crave a luxurious feel without sacrificing support.

Helix Midnight Elite

Side sleepers often face a double whammy: pressure point pain and overheating due to close contact with the mattress.  The Helix Midnight Elite tackles both issues with a luxurious design. Its zoned support system, potentially achieved through varying foam core densities, targets pressure points in your hips and shoulders, aiming to minimize aches and pains throughout the night.

But unlike some memory foam mattresses that trap heat, the Midnight Elite fights back with advanced cooling features.  These might include a breathable cover that wicks away moisture, and potentially cooling gel or phase change materials infused within the foam layers. This cooling technology works together to regulate temperature, ensuring a comfortable sleep even for hot sleepers or those in warm climates.

Helix Dusk Elite

Back and stomach sleepers, rejoice! The Helix Dusk Elite is designed to be your perfect sleep haven. This mattress falls under the Helix Elite line, known for its luxurious materials and construction. The Dusk Elite strikes a balance between comfort and support, ideal for those who sleep on their back or stomach and require spinal alignment without sacrificing pressure relief.

The key to the Dusk Elite’s success lies in its zoned support system. This might involve varying foam core densities throughout the mattress. The lumbar region is typically firmer to provide extra lift and cradle the lower back, promoting proper spinal alignment. The rest of the mattress might incorporate plusher foams for pressure relief in areas like the shoulders and hips. This combination ensures a comfortable sleep posture while maintaining spinal health, crucial for back and stomach sleepers.

Helix Dawn Elite

Calling all stomach sleepers! The Helix Dawn Elite is designed specifically for you.  This mattress is the firmest option within the Helix Elite line, prioritizing spinal alignment and a supportive sleep surface for those who rest primarily on their stomachs.  The Dawn Elite boasts a thicker profile compared to the standard Helix Dawn mattress, contributing to a more luxurious feel.

Its construction incorporates multiple high-density foam layers that provide ample support while still conforming to your body’s shape to a certain degree. Additionally, zoned support, potentially achieved through varying foam core densities, bolsters the lumbar region for proper spinal alignment, reducing pressure points in your lower back. If you’re a dedicated stomach sleeper who prioritizes a firm, supportive mattress with a touch of luxury, the Helix Dawn Elite might be your ideal sleep sanctuary.

Helix Sunset Elite

The Helix Sunset Elite is the plushest mattress in the Helix Elite line, designed specifically for side sleepers who prioritize pressure relief and luxurious comfort. Two separately encased microcoil layers are incorporated to enhance conformity and provide bounce. These coils may also promote airflow within the mattress.

The combination of memory foam and zoned support (potentially through varying foam densities) aims to distribute body weight evenly, alleviating pressure points in the hips, shoulders, and lower back, common areas of discomfort for side sleepers.

Helix Twilight Elite

The Helix Twilight Elite caters to side sleepers who seek a balance between plush comfort and supportive firmness. It falls between the softer Helix Sunset Elite and the slightly firmer Helix Dusk Elite on the firmness scale. This makes it ideal for side sleepers who find the Sunset Elite too soft but still want significant pressure relief.

The Twilight Elite achieves this balance through a combination of high-density foam layers and zoned support. The foam layers cradle your body, conforming to your curves and reducing pressure points in your hips and shoulders. The zoned support, often achieved through varying foam densities, provides extra lift in the lumbar region for proper spinal alignment, crucial for side sleepers.

If you’re a side sleeper who wants a luxurious feel with targeted pressure relief and don’t mind a slightly firmer mattress than the Sunset Elite, the Helix Twilight Elite might be the perfect fit.
