Depending on what exactly you’re looking for in a mattress (ie: features, price, and performance), many Helix mattresses would be considered worth their cost.
When it comes to value, the Helix Luxe and Helix Plus are certainly the best performers among the whole lineup. These collections have performance scores which put the mattresses in the top 12-13% among all mattresses tested to date.
Although they excel concerning performance, the cost is higher than average. If you’re on a budget and don’t necessarily need the higher performance of the Helix Luxe, the Standard Helix can be a great option as well.
| Helix Collection | Average Score | Score Rank | Price / Queen | Price Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 9.41 | Top 75% | $1099 | 15% Below Average |
| Luxe | 9.73 | Top 12% | $1899 | 46% Above Average |
| Plus | 9.72 | Top 13% | $1199 | 8% Below Average |
| Kids * | 9.37 | Top 25% | $599 | 14% Below Average |
When assessing a mattress’s worth we’re looking for that perfect balance of performance score, mattress price, and how these numbers compare to the average among other mattresses of the same type.
Standard Helix mattresses have a thinner profile and lack some of the higher performance specs compared to the Helix Luxe mattresses, but also cost 15% less than the average hybrid mattress we’ve tested to date.
The table below outlines exactly where each mattress falls in the rankings across the entire collection.
