Helix

Helix asks you to answer a sleep quiz in order to provide you with the optimal mattress for your needs and likes. The quiz uses what Helix calls “innovative sleep science” in order to customize your mattress. Depending on the following attributes, your final mattress gets designed based on these criteria:

• Feel preference: Whether you prefer a soft or firm mattress
• Support requirements: Calculated by plugging in your height, weight, and sleeping position
• Temperature regulation: Does your body get cold or hot at night?
• Point elasticity: How much pressure relief do you need?

The vast majority of the Helix mattresses are built from combinations of the following layers:

Helix dynamic foam layer

This is Helix’s proprietary foam layer, which has a very strong reaction to pressure. Laying down on a mattress with this layer at the top will make you feel like you are on a mattress as opposed to sinking into it. The dynamicity of the foam allows you to change positions very easily and still feel supported.

Microcoils

The microcoils are usually placed in the middle of a mattress because they are known for their excellent cooling features. They allow for extended airflow, add to the mattress’s springiness and make motion transfer seamless.

Polyfoam

Mostly used as the mattress’ foundation, the polyfoam is a dense, strong layer that is meant to support the mattress and the user.

LUXE Additions

Helix LUXE mattresses also include body zoning via lumbar support coils, a premium quilted pillow top, an ultra breathable cover, and an extra 2″ in height over the standard mattresses. Some models, such as the Midnight LUXE, also include memory foam.

The mattress cover is made up of polyester, and because it is considerably thin, it ensures maximum breathability. This thinness also ensures that the cover causes no interference with the mattress’s top layer. As for the Helix LUXE, a premium quilted top with Ultra Breathable technology is used for the cover.

In order to buy a mattress, fill in the sleep quiz and then enter your email address. Once you’re done, your personalized mattress criteria are created for you. You can pay for the mattress directly from the website. Financing options are also available. Klarna offers no-interest financing if the mattress is paid for in full within 6-12 months, and Katapult provides financing for those with low or no FICO scores.

Helix mattresses are made to order. Once you place your order, it normally takes 3-10 business days for your mattress to be made and shipped from the Helix facility.

It should be noted that while Helix offers free shipping in the US, Canadians will need to pay the following extra fees to cover shipping plus the Customs Tax:

• $250 per mattress
• $175 per foundation
• $75 per bed frame
