Helix Midnight Luxe: the one most people pick
The Midnight Luxe is Helix's best seller for a reason. It is a medium feel hybrid that cradles your shoulders and hips where side sleeping puts the most pressure, then uses zoned lumbar coils to keep your hips from sagging. Supportive, but plush enough to feel like a treat when you lie down. If you sleep on your side or move around at night, or you share the bed and need a feel you can both live with, start here.
Helix Sunset Luxe: the soft one
The Sunset Luxe is the plush pick. A quilted pillow top and layers of memory foam cushion the shoulders and hips, and zoned lumbar coils underneath keep the hips from sinking too far. Helix rates it soft; most side sleepers feel it as a plush medium. If you want that sink-in feel, this is the one. If you sleep mostly on your stomach, it is probably too soft for you. Look at the Dusk instead.
Helix Dusk Luxe: the supportive one
The Dusk Luxe is medium-firm and built for back sleepers and couples. It keeps you lifted on top of the bed rather than sinking in, so your hips stay in line with your shoulders. A cushioned pillow top takes the edge off at the shoulders and knees while the zoned coils firm up through the middle. The edges stay sturdy when you sit or sleep near them and motion transfer is very low, which is why we recommend it to couples where one partner sleeps on their back.
Helix Midnight Elite: the Midnight Luxe taken further
The Midnight Elite sits at the top of the Helix range. Same medium feel most people love, with a deeper, more cushioned build and the most advanced cooling Helix makes. Two layers of microcoils cushion the shoulders and hips while keeping motion isolated, and the zoned coil core gives heavier back sleepers strong support. If you sleep on your side or change positions and you want no compromises, this is the one. Stomach sleepers will find it too soft.
How to choose between them
- Side sleeper, want plush: Sunset Luxe.
- Side or combination sleeper, want balanced: Midnight Luxe. Want the deepest version of that feel: Midnight Elite.
- Back sleeper, or a couple with a back sleeper: Dusk Luxe.
- Stomach sleeper: Dusk Luxe is the only one of the four firm enough. Our Cottage Firm and the MOLECULE Reflex 11 are firmer options.

How do I know it is right without lying on it first?
