The Helix Midnight mattress is a hybrid build constructed with premium materials. They are memory foam layers and innerspring coils.

The comfort layers are made from memory foam: Helix Memory Plus foam and the responsive foam. It provides pressure relief and helps with body movement. Another layer of memory foam is the transition layer which is another responsive foam that has a medium IFD.

The support layer is 1,000 individually wrapped coils that provide structure and limit motion transfer. The base layer is a dense memory foam that gives the mattress durability for a longer lifespan. The materials used for this are eco-certified and long-lasting to bring comfort and excellent rest.

The Helix Midnight mattress’s build creates this medium firmness level. This may be due to the transition and support layer, but the other memory foam layers give enough cushion to help support the body and provide pressure relief.

The GlacioTex cover helps with temperature regulation but also adds an extra soft cloudlike feel. The mattress is especially good for side sleepers as the memory foam provides targeted support. The limited motion transfer also helps combination sleepers as they change positions during the night.

• Breathe Knit Cover
• GlacioTex Cooling Pillow Top

The outer layers for the Helix Midnight mattress feature two options: the Breathe Knit cover and the GlacioTex Cooling Pillow Top. The Breathe Knit cover is a standard soft and breathable cover. It enhances airflow and prevents overheating.

The GlacioTex Cooling Pillow Top has advanced cooling technology that draws heat away from the body and keeps you consistently cool throughout the night. These features create a nice sleep environment for the sleeper.

• Memory Plus Foam
• Helix Responsive Foam

The comfort layers of the Helix Midnight mattress feature two key layers: Memory Plus foam and Helix responsive foam.

The Helix Memory Plus foam is a special blend of memory foam that contours your body and provides pressure relief on targeted areas. The Helix responsive foam helps with spinal alignment with a good balance of firmness and softness. These features create a gentle cushion and support for a stable and cozy sleep.

• Helix Responsive Foam

The support layers of the Helix Midnight mattress feature three layers: Helix responsive foam, wrapped coils, and DuraDense foam. The Helix responsive foam acts as a transition layer that helps with movement. The wrapped coils provide motion transfer and deliver targeted support. The DuraDense foam helps with the entire mattress structure and its durability for the long term. These features create stability and maintain support for the user.

The Helix Midnight mattress is crafted with high-quality materials. The foams are up to health and environmental standards. The individually wrapped coils are durable and provide responsive support.

The medium-firmness of the Helix Midnight mattress performs well with most types of sleepers. Side sleepers appreciate the cushion and comfort it provides. The memory foam helps with pressure points and spinal alignment for the back sleepers. However, the stomach sleepers might want a firmer mattress for that extra support.

• 5 out of 10 firmness level
• Pressure point relief for side sleepers
• Premium cooling covers

The Helix Midnight mattress only has one firmness level which is 5 out of 10. It’s a balance of comfort and support that caters to a variety of sleepers. The cushioning from the memory foam gives pressure point relief for side and back sleepers, and the premium cooling covers give you a cozy environment.

The medium firmness can help you fully recover after a long day without making huge adjustments to your sleep style.

The Helix Midnight mattress has minimal sinkage. Even though there is contouring and support, the sinkage is low enough for the person to not feel stuck. The memory foam is only 1.5” which holds the body in place. It also provides pressure relief and cushion. This is especially good for side and back sleepers.

We’ve been talking about pressure relief throughout this article. You can tell that the Helix Midnight mattress has amazing pressure relief due to the memory foam layers. The Memory Plus Foam layer is designed to take the body’s shape. It reduces discomfort and pain on target points. Pressure relief is important for older users as it prevents soreness and stiffness. This gives proper spinal alignment, resulting in deep relaxation.

The Helix Midnight mattress’s support features include a layer of individually wrapped coils and the durable DuraDense foam base. The coils provide support by minimizing motion transfer and helping with spinal alignment. This is important for couples who have different sleeping styles.

The Helix Midnight mattress supports your body well. The medium-firmness can accommodate all three sleeping positions. Plus, the motion isolation and responsiveness allow sleepers to change positions without disturbing their partner. The wide range of options due to its adaptability can bring in a variety of users with different sleep needs.

• Helix Responsive Foam
• Ergonomic support and cushioning
• Medium firmness level

The transitional layer in the Helix Midnight mattress incorporates the Helix Responsive foam. This foam is a special blend from Helix that helps with ergonomic support and cushioning. This also plays a big part in why the Helix Midnight mattress has a medium firmness level. It offers the pushback you need to achieve the balanced feel of cushioning and firmness.

• Up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils
• Excellent motion isolation
• Reinforced edge support

The body shape layer in the Helix Midnight mattress features 1,000 individually wrapped coils. These coils provide motion isolation and reinforced edge support.

This feature is perfect for couples, especially for couples with combination sleepers.

• DuraDense foam
• Provides base support
• Excellent durability

The base layer of the Helix Midnight mattress is the DuraDense foam. It’s designed to be the base support of the mattress and helps with durability. This is an excellent foundation as it helps retain its shape with minimal sagging over time. The support feature is vital for the mattress’s lifespan as it creates a stable base for the mattress.

It’s easier to move around with the Helix Midnight mattress. The Helix Responsive foam allows you to change your sleeping position with ease. The quick response time measures a speed of 0.2 seconds, with a complete recovery of 0.6 seconds. This helps prevent the user from feeling stuck which is one of the issues of mattress foams.

Being able to adjust provides better pressure relief and promotes a more relaxing rest.

The Helix Midnight mattress has a balanced to moderate bounce. The hybrid construction allows the bounce to be on the gentle side. This allows effortless movement with a more comfortable position as the mattress contours to your body shape. The wrapped coils allow the bounce to aid in position changes. However, a higher bounce is much more preferred for sexually active couples.

In the end, it depends on you and the type of sleep position you do to choose a mattress. We recommend the gentle bounce as it doesn’t feel like you’re on a trampoline.

One of the special features of the Helix Midnight mattress is the option to choose your covers for better temperature regulation. The mattress comes with two options: The Breathe Knit cover and the GlacioTex Cooling Pillow top.

The Breathe Knit cover is breathable which provides enough airflow for the sleeper. The GlacioTex Cooling Pillow top has advanced technology that draws heat away from the mattress surface. This is especially good in warmer climates. For hot sleepers, they can appreciate these features as they both have moisture-wicking and cooling abilities.

The Helix Midnight mattress has excellent cooling. The hybrid design allows the coils to promote airflow, but more importantly, the cooling covers are a big help for temperature regulation. Memory foam is notorious for heat retention. But with these added features, you can prevent overheating and stay consistently cool throughout the night.

The Breathe Knit cover is the lightweight, and breathable cover that the Helix Midnight uses.

This can help you regulate your temperature throughout the night. If you’re a hot sleeper, this is the perfect cooling feature for you.

The Helix Midnight mattress offers excellent breathability. The combination of the lightweight cover and airflow-promoting coils, allows this mattress to cool any person laying in it. You can also upgrade to the GlacioTex which is another soft cover that allows you a more comfortable sleep. This is especially important in warmer climates and hot sleepers. Consistent airflow allows the sleeper a more restorative sleep.

The hybrid construction highlights the breathability of the Helix Midnight mattress. With the optional GlacioTex Cooling Pillow top, you can further enhance your sleeping experience.

The Helix Midnight mattress performs well for side, back, and combination sleepers. The medium-firm feel allows for any sleeper to have comfort and support with its pressure-relieving design.

Side sleepers particularly enjoy the cushioning, while back sleepers appreciate the lumbar support. Stomach sleepers might want a firmer mattress for extra support, but the medium firm can help with spinal alignment. Combination sleepers can appreciate the responsive foam and motion isolation.

Luckily, the Helix Midnight mattress addresses these issues with the hybrid mix of memory foam and coils.

• Ideal for average-weight sleepers
• Provides lumbar support
• Excellent spinal alignment

Back sleepers require lumbar support. The Helix Midnight mattress is ideal for both light and average-weight sleepers. This is due to the body contouring that the memory foam provides. It helps with cushioning and spinal alignment. Going with the natural curve of your spine can go a long way when it comes to comfort and rejuvenating sleep.

• Ideal for lightweight sleepers
• Comfortable support
• Medium firmness good for this position

The medium-firmness is good for most sleepers, but stomach sleepers usually require something firmer. Fortunately, lightweight stomach sleepers can still enjoy the comfortable support the mattress provides. Average sleepers can also enjoy it, provided they’re not strict stomach sleepers. You can still sleep on this mattress without the feeling of sinking. Stomach sleepers can still feel refreshed with the Helix Midnight mattress.

The Helix Midnight mattress is designed to support 250 to 300 lbs per sleeper. This capacity performs well with a wide range of body types. Light sleepers don’t require a lot of support compared to heavy-weight sleepers.

The medium firmness allows the average user to feel supported without feeling like they’re sinking. The wrapped coils help keep the mattress’s structure along with the DuraDense foam which can prevent sagging. The high weight capacity makes the Helix Midnight mattress a suitable choice for any user looking for a relaxing and stable sleeping environment.

Heavy sleepers tend to need more support than the average ones. The hybrid construction provides enough support for heavy sleepers, but the medium-firmness may not be beneficial for them in the long run. The medium firm is mostly designed for the average sleeper.

The DuraDense foam base can prevent sagging but the overall mattress is subjected to wear and tear. It’s important to know how to maintain a mattress, especially for people who are heavy sleepers. Rotating and keeping an eye out for lumps can help you solve any future issues.

Many things are considered for couples when it comes to choosing a mattress.
