This Helix Midnight Luxe 13.5" mattress is the perfect combination of a plush top with a medium firmness that supports perfectly. I'm a side sleeper and I struggled to find a mattress that would help alleviate my lower back pain that I was having in the morning. I literally tried everything.

I love my new mattress! It was very easy to unpack and with the handles I was able to get it in place with little effort. I have slept peacefully, and have woken up pain free since night one! I’m a side sleeper and the firm side gives me the right amount of cushion without sinking into the mattress. It’s even pup approved 🐾 Kristin B. · laylasleep.com
