Helix Midnight review

Helix Midnight is the hybrid on this list built most clearly around side sleepers. Helix lists a 7-layer, 11.5-inch construction with gel memory foam, high-density memory foam, responsive foam and pocketed coils, and says the medium feel relieves pressure across the shoulders and hips and suits people who toss and turn. Buyers can add a GlacioTex cooling pillow top or an ErgoAlign layer for lower back pain, and Helix offers in-home setup and old mattress removal in some ZIP codes. The bed is assembled in Arizona, where Helix says it pours its own foams and makes its own coils. Terms include a 365-night sleep trial, free US shipping and a limited lifetime warranty. Value is the weak point for this list. Helix's page showed only the queen, at $1,375 with a 20% off code, and the king price did not load for our checker, so the king row is pending. Expect a king to cost well above the $899 picks.
