I've tried the Midnight Luxe mattress and it's a dream for side sleepers — but there's a different luxury hybrid I'd buy in the Helix sale
The 4th of July fireworks have started early at Helix, where we're celebrating 27% off all Helix mattresses with code TOMS27. Side sleepers, now's the chance to save on the top-rated Midnight Luxe mattress. I've been hands-on with the Helix Midnight Luxe and agree with our lead tester's assessment: the plush cushioning is just like a "beautifully cool marshmallow." We rate it among the best mattresses we've tested and while the premium price tag makes it an investment, it's one we think your sleep will thank you for. 27% off at Helix is perhaps the biggest mattress sales we've seen this month and an early contender for the best 4th of July deal — here's my top pick to browse today. Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at Helix The Helix Midnight Luxe is almost the perfect side sleeper bed — no wonder we crowned it the best mattress for side sleepers. Our lead tester has spent months using it for our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review (including several weeks on the recently revamped model) and she loves its combination of plush pressure relief and full-body support. As does her husband, a back sleeper who finds the Midnight delivers ample lumbar support. And thanks to the highly-rated motion isolation, they can toss and turn without bothering the other. If you're worried about the summer heat we suggest adding the GlacioTex cover and with 27% off using code TOMS27, it's the perfect time to make the upgrade. A queen has been reduced to $1,751.03 (from $2,398.66) without the cover and $1,933.04 with it. Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (7,500+ reviews) You can save 27% sitewide in the Helix mattress sale with our TOMS27 code in a deal that's almost as good as the Memorial Day saving. (For Memorial Day, Luxe and Elite mattresses also came with a free gift.) This is likely the best Helix deal we'll see this side of Labor Day — and possibly the best offer until Black Friday. So if you want the 'blissful pressure relief' and 'robust contouring support' of the Helix Midnight Luxe, we recommend taking advantage of the discount. But while I liked the cushioned Midnight Luxe, it's another of the best hybrid mattresses I'll be adding to my own cart: the Dusk Luxe. From the same collection as the Midnight Luxe, the Dusk Luxe features the same tall build (13.5 inches, to be precise), thick foams, and zoned springs of its compatriot. However, the Dusk Luxe uses a responsive support foam to create a mattress that's cushioned without the sink-in feel of softer beds. As a stomach sleeper, this is perfect for me. I spent a week on the Dusk Luxe and despite a lingering case of jet lag I slept like a baby and woke up fresh each morning. And it's not just one of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers; back sleepers should find it comfortably supportive as well. Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at HelixIn our Helix Dusk Luxe mattress review we described this luxury bed as a "dream for stomach sleepers." The quilted cover and dense foams create indulgent pressure relief but thanks to the impressive support, you never have to worry about your hips sinking — something that can cause pain for back and front sleepers. Using code TOMS27 can save you extra on the Dusk Luxe with a queen now only $1,751.03 (down from $2,398.66.) I've found the temperature regulation comfortable but very hot sleepers should consider the GlacioTex upgrade. Our review: ★★★★½ User score: ★★★★½ (1,400+ reviews)

Helix Midnight Mattress Review: A Solid Pick At A Competitive Price
There's no denying that a high-quality mattress is a significant financial investment. However, a satisfactory mattress doesn't need to cost several thousands of dollars. Enter the Helix Midnight, an under-$1,100 model that's as thoughtfully constructed as more expensive options. I slept on the Midnight for a full month to evaluate its performance and its suitability for different comfort preferences. I tested the Helix Midnight for one month, evaluating how it performed in terms of edge support, ... More motion isolation and more. The Helix Midnight is one of the brand's Core hybrid models, offering a medium feel in terms of firmness. Its price is lower than that of its two upgrade models, the Midnight Luxe (our pick for the best mattress overall) and the Midnight Elite. During the past 30 days, I've taken note of the Midnight's advantages and disadvantages—for reference, I'm a side sleeper who weighs around 140 pounds. In this Helix Midnight review, I dive into my experience sleeping on this mattress and determine who I think it's best for. Helix Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Type: Hybrid | Helix's firmness rating: 6 | Trial period: 100 nights | Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty | Height: 11.5 inches Best for: Skip if: The Helix Midnight is a hybrid mattress, which means it consists of both innerspring and foam layers. This mattress in particular has five layers and is 11.5 inches tall, which is typical for a bed-in-a-box mattress. Here's a breakdown of each layer, from top to bottom: A closer look at the Helix Midnight's layers. Helix says this mattress is a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and initially, I found it to be slightly firmer than advertised. However, after about two weeks of sleeping on it, the memory foam relaxed just a bit—falling more in line with the brand's initial rating. I was a bit surprised that Helix recommends this mattress for side sleepers specifically, as side sleepers tend to gravitate toward softer models. As a side sleeper myself, I didn't sink into the mattress as much as I would have liked, especially at first. It's worth noting that the Helix Midnight doesn't have the cushy pillow top found on the Midnight Luxe, and after testing this base model, I do think side sleepers would benefit from upgrading to the Luxe. I found that the mattress felt significantly more comfortable and supportive when I was lying on my back—I'd say the Midnight is ideal for back sleepers who occasionally shift to their side during the night. That said, if you weigh more than I do (140 pounds), then you should feel more comfortable sleeping on your side as you'll sink into the mattress more. With my Helix Midnight Mattress out of its box and in my bedroom, my first impression was how neatly it fit into my bed frame. As I mentioned before, this mattress measures 11.5 inches thick, which is a solid, practical height—any taller, and it would have risen above the foot of my bed frame. The knit cover, while soft, didn't feel particularly cool or luxurious; but at this price point, I didn't necessarily expect it to. (Note that you have the option to upgrade to the brand's Glacio Tex Cooling Pillow Top, which costs $281 extra.) Over the next month, I gathered my observations on this mattress' performance, taking notes on factors like pressure relief, coolness and ease of movement. Below, learn how the Helix Midnight performed across the five categories I assessed. A close-up look at the Helix Midnight's knit cover. Since this mattress is recommended for side sleepers by Helix, I was expecting to feel more pressure relief while lying on my side. While sleeping in this position initially wasn't uncomfortable, I found that after a few hours, I would wake up with a bit of soreness in my shoulder—my hips felt fine. I actually found this mattress to be more comfortable while lying on my back; my lumbar region, hips and shoulders felt balanced. I don't typically sleep on my stomach, but when I lay on the mattress in this position, I noticed that my hips sank in lower than my shoulders. Keep in mind your experience could be different from mine depending on your body type. As one Forbes Vetted tester says, 'I feel very supported while lying on my side on this mattress. Despite the bed not conforming to my body like a softer foam would, it's comfortable and my shoulders and spine stay aligned. I find side sleeping on this mattress slightly more comfortable with a thin pillow between my legs to help support my hips.' The Helix Midnight comes with a stretchy, breathable knit cover by default, with the option to upgrade to a GlacioTex pillow top cover. Since I'm not a hot sleeper, I opted for the regular cover. I would describe the surface of the mattress as temperature-neutral, which was expected, since there's nothing in the cover to give it a particularly cooling effect. I didn't experience any uncomfortable sweating, but I can imagine if you're a hot sleeper, it might feel a bit too warm for your taste. In this case, I think the cooling cover would be worth the upgrade. If there's one category this mattress excels in, it's motion isolation. I had my partner sleep next to me in this mattress for a handful of nights to get a better sense of how movement transferred across it. I was able to get up out of bed to use the bathroom and get back in without waking him up—the next morning, he noted that he wasn't aware that I had moved at all. For further evaluation, I placed a glass of water on one side of the bed and walked along the other, and found that the glass stayed securely in place. The Helix Midnight has good edge support; it sank just slightly when I sat on the edge, and I did notice that the perimeter felt firmer than the center of the mattress. Helix states that this mattress can support up to 600 pounds of combined weight and 300 pounds of individual weight. Both my partner and I are near the boundary between lightweight (under 150 pounds) and average weight (150 to 250 pounds), so I can't speak from experience, but I definitely think the Helix Midnight would support a sleeper who falls into the 250- to 300-pound range. (If you're someone who experiences lower back pain, Helix gives you the option to add an ErgoAlign layer for extra support, which costs an extra $187.) Because I didn't sink into this mattress very much, I found that shifting from one position to another was relatively easy. I think the Helix Midnight would be ideal for a combination sleeper who shifts from their back to their side. And, thanks to the aforementioned motion isolation, they can do this without disturbing anyone else in the bed. Even though this is a hybrid model, I found that the innerspring layer didn't provide much bounce at all—it definitely feels more like a true memory foam mattress in that regard. The Helix Midnight performed exceptionally well in my tests for motion transfer and edge support. As one of the most popular bed-in-a-box mattress brands of 2025, Helix offers mattresses for every type of sleeper. Its mattresses are assembled in its Arizona factory and then shipped directly to your doorstep. The brand also ensures its beds are Greenguard Gold and CertiPUR-US certified, which means they're made without harmful chemicals. Helix mattresses ship free in the U.S. via FedEx Ground. Shipping times vary depending on the product, but according to the brand's website, the Helix Midnight typically ships out within two to five business days. The mattress arrives compressed in a cardboard box on your doorstep—it's quite heavy, so I recommend having a friend, roommate or partner assist you in setting it up. If you aren't able to secure assistance, you can pay for in-home setup, as long as you live in a participating zip code. Helix offers a 100-night trial for its mattresses, so you can fully decide whether or not it's right for you. Once you've slept on your Helix mattress past the 30-day break-in period, you're eligible to return it for free. The Helix Midnight is covered by the brand's limited lifetime warranty, which covers any defects, including physical flaws specified by the manufacturer and reasonable deteriorations. Normal wear and tear and changes in comfort preference are not covered. Helix Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. For side sleepers looking to upgrade their sleep experience, I recommend checking out the Helix Midnight Luxe. While it's more expensive than the base model, it's also two inches thicker and has greater cushioning abilities, thanks to its pillow top cover. Mattress updates writer Alexandra Garrett says, 'After sleeping on the Helix Midnight Luxe for over a year, I can attest it's just as comfortable, supportive and cooling as it was during the first month of testing—a true testament to the bed's quality and durability.' While I haven't tested this model personally, it's a favorite among Forbes Vetted team members: It's currently our top pick overall in our best mattresses roundup. Helix Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. The Helix Sunset is the softest model the brand offers, so it's particularly geared toward those who sleep on their side. I personally found the Midnight to be a bit too firm for sleeping on my side exclusively, so I'd recommend checking out the Sunset if you're looking for a similarly priced mattress. Other than this decrease in firmness, it shares a lot of the same qualities as the Midnight, including its five-layer construction and knit cover. 'The Helix Sunset is a great mattress for side sleepers and those who toss and turn,' says newsletter editor Ashley Dean, who slept on this mattress for 30 days for her Helix Sunset review. 'It's slightly firmer than advertised—at least for a lightweight sleeper—but still soft. It's supportive and provides pressure point relief, and turning over on the mattress is fairly effortless.' After my month of sleeping on it, I can attest to the Helix Midnight's high quality. It's clear that the brand has put a lot of attention and thought into its design. That being said, I think it's a good fit for some sleepers, but not all. While it's advertised as a mattress for side sleepers, in my experience, I feel it's a better fit for back and combination sleepers. (That comes from my experience as a sleeper who falls into the higher end of the 'lightweight' category; those who weigh more than me may find this mattress softer than I did.) Thanks to its excellent motion isolation, it would make a good mattress for couples who shift throughout the night, or have one member who frequently wakes up before the other. When compared to the Midnight Luxe, which has earned the praise of several Forbes Vetted staff members, the main appeal of the base Midnight model is that it's less expensive. If you're a fan of Helix's quality and customer service and are willing to forego the luxurious additions of the Luxe in exchange for a lower price tag, the Midnight may be for you. However, if you're a side sleeper who craves a softer, plusher mattress, I'd recommend upgrading to the Luxe. I tried the Helix Midnight for a time frame of 30 nights, which is considered by the brand to be its break-in period. In addition to sleeping on this mattress, I also completed a series of performance-based tests. For reference, I'm a woman who weighs approximately 140 pounds and is 5 feet and 7 inches tall. I'm the updates writer for Forbes Vetted's beauty, fashion and travel stories. For Forbes Vetted's sleep section, I've previously reported on the best pillows for neck pain. I'm also an experienced product tester; I've formally evaluated and written about the best work bags for women and the best pajamas for women. Is The Helix Midnight Worth It? Based on my experience sleeping on this mattress for a month, I would say that the Helix Midnight is worth it for budget-conscious shoppers. While it lacks a few of the more luxurious features of its upgrade model, the Helix Midnight Luxe, it's still a high-quality choice for those looking for a more affordable mattress. How Long Does A Helix Midnight Mattress Last? According to Helix's website, a high-quality hybrid mattress such as the Midnight should last approximately ten years. After ten years, the brand recommends replacing your mattress to avoid body discomfort while sleeping. What Is The Difference Between The DreamCloud And Helix Midnight? There are a few differences between the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid and the Helix Midnight, namely price and firmness. DreamCloud's model is less expensive at $699 than the Midnight at $1,099 for a queen size, and according to our testers, it has a slightly firmer feel.

I tried the 'best mattress for side sleepers' and fell in love — now 27% off for Memorial Day
As a side sleeper, I'm on a quest to find a mattress that cradles my body and keeps my spine aligned, while stopping the dreaded 'dead hip' or achy shoulder. So, when the opportunity came my way to try out the renowned Helix Midnight Luxe, I jumped at the chance. And, with 27% off all Helix mattresses right now with the code TOMS27, this luxury mattress has dropped to just $1,732.54 or a queen (was $2,373.33). The Tom's Guide team has rated the Helix Midnight Luxe as the best mattress for side sleepers of 2025, and we're not the only ones. The hybrid pillow-top bed is renowned for its pressure relief, support and comfort, and when I finally got the chance to lie down on it, I wasn't disappointed. So, if you're browsing the Memorial Day mattress sales to refresh your bedroom and treat yourself to some much needed quality sleep, I recommend the Midnight Luxe. And, since the current mattress sales are offering such great value, I'll also share my top alternative for a slightly smaller budget. Helix Midnight Luxe mattress: twin was $1,436 now $1,048.28 at HelixThis Helix Midnight Luxe is made up of seven layers that combine gel memory foam, high-density foams and individually wrapped coils, topped with Tencel pillow-top cover (and the option to pay for an upgraded GlacioTex cooling cover). The result? A medium-firm feel that cushions you enough to relieve pressure but not enough to sink into the mattress. During our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review, our lead tester reported 'cloud-like comfort' when sleeping on her side, thanks to the responsive foams and the 'give' in the pillow top. During the Helix Memorial Day mattress sale, you can get a queen for $1,732.54 (was $2,373.33) using the code TOMS27. Plus, you'll get a free mattress protector and sheet set, as well as a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and a limited lifetime warranty. The Sleep Editor for Tom's Guide, Nicola Appleton, has long been telling me about the wonders of the Helix Midnight Luxe since she reviewed it. It's her favorite mattress by a mile, as well as one of our top picks in this year's best mattress for all sleepers guide so there was a lot of hype to live up to. But when I lay down on it for the first time, it all made sense. The soft, cradling pillow top contoured around my body, offering constant plush support no matter my position. I even tried lying on my back (which I never do because my spine is quite arched) and the mattress moulded to my shape, taking the strain and pressure off my spine. I think this support can also be attributed to the ErgoAlign Layer (which is an optional extra, though in the current sale it's reduced from $249 to $187)— a layer of ultra dense foam that sits above the coils for extra lumbar support. It's no surprise it features in our tried and tested best hybrid mattresses of the sets this mattress apart from others I have tried is the fantastic balance between plush, cozy comfort and responsive, adaptive support. I personally hate the sinking feeling of soft foam mattresses, it makes me feel claustrophobic and I struggle to see how it's supporting my body. But when I tried the Midnight Luxe, I lay on top of the bed rather than within it, and it didn't feel like the mattress was too firm around my shoulders, hips and knees. It's a mattress worth investing in, especially in the current Helix mattress sales. Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid: twin was $865 now $605.50 with pillow top at Brooklyn BeddingThe Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid shares a similar design to the Midnight Luxe, but it's over $500 cheaper in the current mattress sales. It has five layers featuring high-density foams and innerspring coils, with an optional cooling pillow-top. The benefit of the Signature Hybrid is its customization options, making it suitable for all types of sleepers. You can choose from a soft, medium or firm feel, and from 14 different sizes. For the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid review, we tried the firm option with the pillow top, but we'd suggest side sleepers opt for the medium or soft. There's currently a 30% off Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale with the code MEMORIAL30, bringing a queen size with the pillow top down to $1,212.40 (was $1,732). You'll also get a limited lifetime warranty, a 120-night trial and free shipping.
