About Helix

Finding the perfect mattress can be a time-consuming nightmare. That’s why Helix Sleep offers a quick ‘n easy homepage quiz going over all the relevant criteria. Simply answer a few questions about your body type and sleep preferences, and Helix will recommend the perfect mattress for your nighttime needs.

Depending on your answers, Helix’s quiz will suggest one of its six main series mattresses, including the Dawn, Dusk, Sunset, Twilight, Moonlight, or Midnight. It may also recommend the Helix Kids Mattress or the Helix Plus for sleepers over 300 pounds. Together, these soft and firm mattresses cover the spectrum of sleeping positions and body types, ensuring a comfy, supportive option for every person.

If you want to skip the sleep quiz and go with a general, all-purpose mattress, no problem. In that case, I’d encourage you to check out the Helix Midnight or Helix Dusk. These two mattresses feature a medium-firm feel that accommodates every type of sleeper, including back sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers. For additional support, you can also consider the Luxe mattress upgrade. The Luxe package adds two extra inches of foam, zoned coils for lumbar support, and a quilted Tencel pillow top cover for moisture-wicking.

No matter which option you choose, every Helix mattress includes a base layer of DuraDense Foam topped with pocketed coils. These coils reduce sinkage across the sleeper surface and prevent more motion transfer than traditional innerspring models — perfect for couples sharing a bed. In addition, the company adds a layer of Helix Dynamic Foam and/or Memory Plus Foam near the top of all its mattresses, ensuring proper contouring and ample cushioning for pressure relief. 

Since Helix cuts out the middleman and ships its hybrid mattresses right to your doorstep, all these perks come at a price you can’t beat. It’s dream-like ease and comfort from the moment you place your order to your first night of restful slumber.

About Purple

You can absolutely feel you’re sleeping on a Purple mattress. The company’s GelFlex Grid comfort layer is revolutionary — so extraordinarily supportive, it feels like you’re resting on a bed of clouds. 

What sets the Purple Grid apart from traditional poly foam is the integrated hyper-elastic polymer. This proprietary material adapts to your body’s every move, eliminating pressure points and providing sink-in relaxation. The material is also heat-resistant and lets airflow circulate to keep you cool at night. It’s neither too firm nor too soft, too hot nor too cold. Instead, it’s just right, continually adjusting to offer pressure relief and meet your body where it’s at.

Aside from the GelFlex Grid inner core and a viscose cover, every Purple mattress is unique, with a bespoke composition. First, there’s the original Purple, which comes with a CertiPUR-US dual-layered comfort foam base. It may be the company’s first-ever mattress, but it’s still an excellent choice for side and back sleepers. Then there’s the Purple Hybrid Mattress, which features a supportive blend of coils and a top layer of high-density foam to provide medium-firm support. Lastly, there’s the Purple Hybrid Premier, which boosts comfort by adding 50% more GelFlex Grid padding to the mattress’s transition layer.

Since Purple holds over 30 patents on its products, the only way to experience such elevated comfort is to try one of its different mattresses yourself! Although the company’s products are on the more expensive side, Purple offers free shipping, white glove delivery with in-home setup, and a 100-night trial with every order. Try Purple’s gel-meets-foam mattress in your bedroom tonight, and experience one of the best sleeps of your life.
