The Helix Midnight mattress is a great choice for comfy side sleeping and right now it's back to Black Friday prices thanks to a 27% discount when you use the code TOMS27 at checkout. With it you can buy a queen Helix Midnight for $972.36 (was $1,332) at Helix.

This 27% off Helix mattress sale beats the brand's extended Presidents' Day deal of 25% off and its the biggest discount we've seen from Helix since last May, when a 30% saving was applied. (Helix mattress MSRPs have not changed in a year.)

The Helix Midnight ranks among the best mattresses we've tested and suits side sleepers seeking good pressure relief and motion isolation to ease pressure points around the shoulders, hips and knees.

Helix Midnight Mattress (twin): was $932 now $680.36 with code TOMS27 + 2 free pillows at Helix Sleep
If you're looking for a great deal on one of the best mattresses for side sleepers, your search stops here. We rated this mattress 4/5 stars in our Helix Midnight Mattress review, praising its soothing pressure relief, excellent temperature regulation, and strong motion isolation. Side sleepers will feel cradled by the softer comfort foam, but heavier bodies and stomach sleepers will want something firmer. Consider upgrading to a GlacioTex cooling cover if you're a hot sleeper. The Midnight comes with a 100-night trial, a lifetime warranty, and a pair of free pillows. A queen is on sale for $972 ($1,332) with 27% off, matching the cheapest price we saw during Black Friday.
