Summary: The Helix Midnight is a great mattress for side sleepers thanks to its layers of cradling memory foam that offer deep pressure relief across the shoulders, hips and knees. It’s also a good choice for back sleepers who will appreciate the sturdy lumbar support. This is one of the best hybrid mattresses around for anyone craving the sink-in softness of memory foam but needing the responsive support you get from innerspring coils. During our Helix Midnight mattress review we also praised the temperature regulation, as the breathable knit cover maintains a neutral feel overnight. A strong all-rounder, and while it's just outclassed by the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress, the Midnight original is my value for money pick.

Price history: Helix mattress sales are held throughout the year and typically range from 20% to 30%, with the best savings reserved for major sales events. Helix is also well known for throwing in a free gift and this is usually two free pillows or a bedding bundle. This year, the Helix Black Friday sales are among the best we’ve ever seen, with our exclusive TOMS27 discount code snagging you 27% off all mattresses. That means you can get a Helix Midnight in queen size for only $972.36 plus two free pillows worth $150. When this is over, we expect Helix to revert to its usual 20% off sale, so don't hang around to buy.
