To truly understand the benefits of owning a Helix Plus mattress, it is important to understand the benefits associated with the mattress.
The Helix Plus is a medium-firm mattress, landing closer to the firmer side of the spectrum. The mattress is firmer than average, which makes it a great buy for sleepers of larger stature. Depending on your sleeping position this level of firmness works in different ways.
Side sleepers will notice that they will feel some initial pressure on their shoulders and hips, this comes from the support layers. Stomach sleepers will find that the support layers allow them to sleep soundly without any hip sinkage that can lead to back problems. For back sleepers, they will feel comfortable and supported by the comfort and support layers.
The new Helix Plus mattress has undergone some redesigns to give it a better ability to provide a cooling sleep. The use of gel memory foam and pocketed springs allow for a breathable and airy sleep that moves heat away from the body. However, as cooling is not its main focus this mattress may cause some heat retention in warmer weather.
The Helix Plus is a hybrid bed-in-a-box and provides adequate motion isolation. All-foam mattresses tend to offer better motion transfer isolation.
Although the Helix Plus does an excellent job on motion transfer for a hybrid mattress, it will not offer the same level of motion isolation that you expect from an all-foam mattress. If your sleeping partner tosses and turns a lot it may not be the best mattress for you.
The Helix Plus was made for comfort. The five-layer construction is made to provide comfort and support to the larger framed person body. The mattresses wrapped coils give in just the right places and the foams properly contour the body to give you a restful sleep. You will find that the firm memory foam layer helps to give exactly the support you need.
