Helix - Midnight Elite

I got the midnight model. Feels a bit sturdier because of denser foams, but still retains a micro coil layer that gives it a very high end feel. Also the new black elite cooling cover feels a bit cooler compared to standard glaciotex.

Nah i didn’t want to pay the 200, maybe if my budget was a little higher. I got it from a retailer who had just received the new black series last week, but not with the cool force. The ergo align layer and elite glaciotex being standard in the black model was enough for me.

I’ll let you know. The luxe models they had on the floor were the previous ones I believe, they had glaciotex but not the ergo align layer add on. Personally I felt the black elite had more support.

I would take a look at helix, Leesa, Brooklyn bedding. I bought my helix midnight elite from a retailer, so I had a chance to try a lot of different options. Personally the Winkbed did not live up to the hype for me. Even the luxe helix models felt much nicer. I also really liked the Nolah evolution.

Yeah, the helix elite just blew me away. I love the midnight, but I get one free swap if I decide I want to switch comfort layers. I got the helix tencel sheets, and this bed sleeps very cool for me. The pressure relief is unreal too, and I’m not a small dude.

Midnight should be a good bet for you. I’m over 200 pounds and 6’2” and I don’t think it’s too soft. If it had softened up more I might’ve considered twilight. The twilight is also very comfortable, just a more “on top” feel. I have sciatic irritation and general stiffness and this mattress has me feeling much better upon waking up. No mattress will fix your pain, but the helix elite gives you the chance to recover.

The newest line of Helix Elite models. Mine is being delivered next Monday and I’m very excited.

We have one of the new king size Helix elite models from this year (they revamped the design earlier in 2025) and are loving it so far. We tried most of the brands you mentioned in stores and were originally thinking to get a Saatva or Winkbed. Then we tried the Helix Midnight and Sunset Elites and it was a game changer. Noticably more comfortable than any other mattress we tried and definitely better than their more popular (cheaper) midnight luxe model. Sure it cost more, but we wanted to invest in the best.

We got the Sunset since we're side sleepers and pretty light. Midnight was really good too, but personally preferred a little softer.

I got a helix midnight elite a few weeks ago and I’m in love!

The midnight elite layers are not supportive enough for my 230 lb body. I have plus elite comfort layers coming soon because I’m still in my trial Period. More to come!

Funny enough, I received my midnight elite and I can’t wait to go to sleep !!! ❤️❤️❤️ https://preview.redd.it/3o16zk2ebteg1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33c739b369c86db2e61ed4469c0caa602c18a591 I will report back in 30 days! Update: Helix matched me with the midnight elite. I am a 230 pound side sleeper with lower back issues. After two weeks, my lower back was starting to hurt even more because the midnight sinks in very deeply with someone of my size. You don’t even notice because it is so very comfortable however, as your sinking, you realize that it is throwing you out of alignment. I swapped out the layers for the Plus because it is more of a medium firm, and definitely a noticeable difference. The center of the mattress keeps me more Lifted and it is somewhat more sturdy while being comfortable at the same time. I remember seeing on the website that the plus model had Titan Coils in their detailed description of the layers. I inquired with helix and they told me that all elite models have the same coil base system including the plus, but never addressed whether or not they were Titan coils, which I definitely saw on the website. It has me wondering whether the foundation is sturdy enough to last. And nowhere on the website does it say that the coil system is the same for all elite models. It’s leaving a sour taste in my mouth and I probably will be returning the mattress because paying over $3000 for a bed that may not have a solid coil system bothers me. In addition, the agent told me that she was getting her information from internal sources, but not appearing on the website is odd to me. I was looking to have this information confirmed by a production manager, but yet the same employee who gave me these details responded yet again with the same answers. Still not answering the question about the Titan coils. I would think that helix would use a stronger coil system for the plus model; therefore swapping out the base. If you google this information online, you will see the confliction. coils are designed especially for sleepers

Do you sink far into the Nolah evolution comfort plus? I feel like that mattress would sag and throw me out of alignment.

This struggle is very real and I’m going through this right now. I am 6 foot four 230 pound side sleeper. I started on a water bed with baffles. Then had latex hand tied, medium firm, tufted bed that lasted 20 years….medium firm, buoyant, responsive, amazing comfort. It needed to be replaced because there was a dip in the center from me sleeping in the middle all of the time. I then went with a purple restore plus, which had an ergo alignment layer… after 30 days there was not enough pressure relief for my shoulders and my ribs were hurting. I could feel that alignment layer on my body (below my ribs). Next I tried the purple restore premiere because I ❤️ the grid…. this did not have the ergo alignment support layer. It was amazing for the first 30 days…. slept for many many hours comfortably because It was the very familiar buoyant feel & was supportive but shortly after a month, it started to dip in my torso area, throwing me out of alignment. I next went to the winked luxury firm which I thought was amazing. However, there was not enough pressure relief. The mattress was 13 inches tall and in my opinion did not have enough comfort layers. …and probably because of my weight it rolled me onto my back in the middle of the night. I am currently on the helix elite series. The midnight did not have enough support, and I sunk in too deep due to the memory foam; tried the plus elite layers and the same thing too much sinkage throwing me out of alignment. I’m learning that when you’re older and have lower back pain or back issues, you need to be very cautious of memory foam because it can easily throw you out of alignment and I believe the OP is correct in which a medium firm to slightly firmer is the key firmness depending on your weight. I was able to try the helix Dawn elite in a showroom yesterday and my back felt like heaven. It was somewhat buoyant and very supportive yet this line mattress had very little memory foam and more support forward foams. It is very important to remember that if you’re looking for pressure relief you need either latex or any buoyant foam! If the Dawn elite doesn’t work, I am gonna go back to a latex hybrid. I bumped into engineered sleep mattress company which incorporates latex in many of their models: https://engineeredsleep.com/products/duo-latex-mattress I am intrigued with the design with the comfort layers right on top with a cling technology that holds it in place …very cool… this is my next adventure. I really need to find a comfortable bed soon my back is killing me!

I posted my recent experience with Helix Midnight Elite and spoiler, it was not a positive one. They lied about its build materials (or blatantly forgot to include it) so ultimately the mattress wasn't configured accurately to what was ordered. On top of that, the customer experience was so lackluster after I caught on, that it left a very poor impression. So no, I wouldn't say its worth it but plenty of people like the brand and its products. What might be a terrible experience for me, might be a stellar one for you.

Pretty happy with Helix. We went back and forth on a mattress purchase decision for some time and went with the Midnight Elite. Been great so far. I’m a side sleeper and 185lbs.

TBD for me. This is my 6th mattress in 4 years because I haven’t found one that relives pressure. I got the midnight elite w cooling layer or whatever…I’m still sweating at night. I’m on the second night of sleep and my hips are hurting bad sleeping on my sides. I have 5 bulged disks as well which is the primary source of my back pain.

I had a memory foam for 15 years and was looking for the same feeling recently shopping. I tried 50+ in stores. The hybrids will have that "bouncy" coil feeling and don't really feel memory foam enough. It's better on firmer ones but then it just feels too hard. So you won't really get the memory foam cushion feeling. When I get on the bed I don't like it but after staying still a while it contours and feels pretty good sleeping through the night. The only one that felt pretty damn amazing as a hybrid to me was the Helix Midnight Elite. They use a super dense foam that doesn't spring back as quickly as most of the others. It unzips so I got to see and feel it it's almost like a stress ball or that kinetic sand feeling. With a layer of microcoils with that foam it really dampens the bounce. But even on sale and with a discount was 2600 bucks before tax. I ended up getting a much cheaper copperflex pro hybrid to try because no stores had it in person around me. I do miss the straight memory foam feeling especially getting on and off but there is definitely better support and less pressure on the body. So it does seem like the hybrids are better overall just hopefully can get used to the bouncier feeling in the trial period. But it's hard to want to go back to straight memory foam for initial feeling vs better support or product overall.

Same exact situation here! I tried Puffy Hybrid and too hard. I am now trying the Helix Midnight Elite (most expensive) and wake up with back pain. So now back to researching AGAIN!

I stopped reading reviews and bought a Helix Midnight Elite, and my partner and I love it. Re: off-gassing — We set it up in the morning and let it off gas with windows open and fans pointed towards it all day, and it was totally fine to sleep on that night. Re: longevity — Can’t speak to that, as it is a recent purchase, but we don’t have any concerns so far. 

Just my 2 cents — My partner and I love ours. We got the Midnight Elite (Elite = their top of the line series). It was expensive, but we got an educator discount at the warehouse. We are so pleased with it!
