Helix Kids review

Helix Kids is the twin to buy if the bed is for a child and you want it designed for that job. Helix lists the twin from $599 with its Black Friday code, against $748.75 before the discount. The 8-inch hybrid uses 6-inch innersprings and custom foam layers, and it flips: one side is firmer for ages 2 to 7, the other softer for ages 8 and up. That means one mattress can carry a child from a first big-kid bed into the preteen years. Helix says the fabric is water repellent and the build is fiberglass free, and the foams carry Greenguard Gold and CertiPUR-US certification. A 6-inch low-profile version for bunk and trundle frames costs the same, and a cooling cover is a $99 option on the older side. Terms are generous: a 365-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty. The price is the catch. At $599 it costs three times the Siena twin, and the 8-inch height makes it less suited to adult guests.
