Yes, Helix makes a good mattress. Based on our objective testing, Helix mattresses have an average score of 9.50 / 10.

The average of all mattresses tested (131 mattresses to be exact) is 9.51. With this standard, Helix is right on par with the average, with many mattresses performing well beyond this average.

The following Helix mattresses perform better than average:

These Helix mattresses perform slightly below average:

The Helix Midnight and Helix Twilight were both within less than 0.05 of a point of meeting the average and would still be considered great mattresses.

NapLab performance categories include:

  1. Cooling
  2. Motion Transfer
  3. Response
  4. Edge Support
  5. Sex
  6. Pressure Relief
  7. Off-Gassing

As the scores show, Helix has green scores across the board with the only exceptions being motion transfer and edge support (for a few select mattresses).

The Helix Luxe mattresses (and Helix Plus) are less likely to struggle in these areas. The Helix Dawn is the only exception here which had higher levels of motion transfer, but exceptional edge support.
