What reviewers say

Midnight Luxe
across 5 reviews
4.5/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Zoned pocketed coil system delivers targeted lumbar support while cushioning shoulders and hips, with strong spinal alignment across back and side sleeping positions
  • Outstanding pressure relief from dense memory foam layers, confirmed by both subjective experience and objective pressure-mapping tests
  • Excellent edge support allows full use of the mattress surface without roll-off feeling
Reviewers push back
  • Dense memory foam produces slower response and lower bounce, making repositioning and sex more effortful compared to livelier hybrids
  • Not well-suited for stomach sleepers, particularly those above average body weight, who need firmer hip support
  • Mild off-gassing odor reported when first unboxed
In a world of cheeses, it's like a nice cheddar, dependable, not too firm nor too soft, and liked by most.
Forbes · best for Side and back sleepers — especially those with shoulder, hip, or lower back pain — who want a hybrid with deep pressure relief, strong edge support, and good cooling.

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. And this mattress (when paired with an adjustable base) did the trick immediately. I was shocked to wake up LVGoldilocks · livingspaces.com
