Helix Dusk Overview

Pros

• Suitable for Stomach and Back Sleepers: The Helix Dusk is a perfect choice for stomach and back sleepers as it offers an ideal degree of pressure relief and support in this position.
• Fast Response Time: The Helix Dusk is highly responsive and rapidly adjusts to movement without any delay.
• Durable: The Helix Dusk mattress also has great edge support. This is a good indication that these mattresses will last a long time, so if durability is important to you, we recommend the Helix Dusk.
• Edge support: this is an important feature for couples who want to spread out and use the entire surface area of their mattress without worrying about sinkage or sagging near the sides. The Helix Dusk has up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils to help cradle your body while also providing edge support.

Cons

• Firmness: Because the Helix Dusk is a medium mattress in firmness, it is unlikely to be your first pick if you like extremely firm or very soft beds.

Who Do We Recommend the Helix Dusk Mattress for

• Back Sleepers: Because of the comfort layers, which are intended for total comfort, easing back pain, and boosting sleep quality, the Helix Dusk mattress is also an excellent option for back sleepers.
• Stomach Sleepers: The Helix Dusk is ideal for stomach sleepers since it provides the most pressure reduction in this posture and doesn’t make the sleeper feel "stuck.”

Unboxing the Helix Dusk

The Helix Dusk mattress is delivered compressed and free of charge. The mattress is easy to carry and can be easily maneuvered by one person.

Since there is no glue or staples around the sides of the mattress, taking it from the box is straightforward and only requires cutting the tape.

The unpacking procedure was as follows: First, we opened both boxes and removed the plastic outer layer from the enclosed support base. Then we gently placed the mattress on my sleeping surface and cut and unwrapped the inner layer of plastic. After that, we removed the mattress's final layer of plastic. We also placed the comfort layer at the foot of the bed on top of the support foundation.

The edges also instantly expanded, suggesting excellent corner expansion. Keep in mind that your Helix Dusk mattress may take up to 2 hours to fully inflate.

Mattresses with foam may have a slight off-gassing odor when unpacked, but it should dissipate within a day or two. Leave your bedroom ventilated and bedsheets off for at least 24 hours after unpacking your new mattress. Our Helix Dusk did emit some non-chemical off-gas, but it was gone within a day.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Helix Dusk

Helix Dusk Firmness

The Helix Dusk is classified as a medium mattress. The Helix Dusk has a firmness rating of 5 on our mattress firmness scale. This firmness level is ideal for side sleepers and stomach sleepers of light to medium weight. The Helix Dusk is firm enough to support the hips and shoulders of back sleepers regardless of body type. However, we believe it is too soft for heavyweight stomach sleepers. With its superior lumbar support, the Helix Dusk is the clear choice for back sleepers.

The firmness may vary depending on body weight; if you're on the lighter side, this is the mattress for you because it has a little more firmness. The addition of thick Helix Dynamic Foam and zoned support coils elevates this bed above the standard Helix Dusk model.

Helix Dusk Feel

The feel of the Dusk is well-balanced, neither too stiff nor too soft. You initially sink into the foam comfort layers about an inch or two, but you soon feel the base coils' support.

Though lightweight side sleepers generally won't press into the mattress deeply enough to get a reasonable amount of pressure relief, back and stomach sleepers will feel pleasantly cushioned

Helix Dusk Comfort

We conducted several experiments to gain a clear picture of how the Helix Dusk beds feel and function in order to assist you in determining if one could be a good fit for you. For a comprehensive overview of the Helix Dusk, continue reading, or if you're in a rush, jump straight to my review summary.

We tested the Helix Dusk mattress on our partners, who vary in weight and like different sleeping positions. They test the mattress on their sides, backs, and stomachs.

We concluded that the Helix Dusk mattress is made to support those who sleep on their stomachs and backs. For heavy sleepers, this could cause some minor pain because the sleeper might sink too far into the mattress.

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

The Helix Dusk mattress is a hybrid that incorporates memory foam, latex, and coils. It is long-lasting since it is made of high-quality materials and is designed to provide the best sleep possible as well as additional advantages such as pressure alleviation, pain relief, and support. The Helix Dusk mattress has zoned support coils and five layers of comfort foam. This mattress is excellent at snuggling and caressing your body. Its cooling process assists in the removal of heat at night.

Layers

Here's what inside Helix Dusk Mattress:

1. Cooling Top Cover: You can choose between the Breathe Knit cover with a light stretch or GlacioTex™ Cooling Pillow Top.
2. Comfort Layer: The comfort layer is constructed of a latex-foam hybrid alternative, which offers a medium feel. This material is excellent for cradling and contouring your figure, providing a medium, responsive feel.
3. Transition Layer: The transition layer is the Helix Responsive Foam, which has a lower Indentation Force Deflection, which gives it better ergonomic support and alleviates strain on the shoulders and hips.
4. Body Shape Layer: This layer consists of up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils that help hug your body while also limiting motion transfer. This means that the mattress is softer around the shoulders for further pressure alleviation and stiffer around the hips for added support.
5. Base Layer : The DuraDense foam layer completes the package and provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.

Performance of Helix Dusk

Cooling

The Helix Dusk is a fantastic option for couples because they tend to heat up faster.

Helix Soft Touch Design, a trademarked technique, is used in the Helix Dusk mattress. This function is intended to promote airflow and ventilation.

We utilized the Helix Dusk for a 20-minute temperature test to see whether there was any major heat accumulation, and we discovered that its breathable material and quick-drying features prevent any form of overheating or sweating while you sleep.

To boost the cooling capacity of the Helix Dusk, a GlacioTex cooling cover may be applied.

The Helix Dusk is a good choice for sleepers who overheat. The Dusk feels crisp and cool to the touch, and because the coils allow for a lot of circulation, it shouldn't trap heat deeper in the mattress.

We give the Helix Dusk Mattress 4.8/5 for cooling performance.

Responsiveness

The Helix Dusk is responsive and includes coils and sensitive foam layers to provide a bouncing feeling to the mattress, making it easy to move around and change positions.

The responsive foam in the top layer, as well as the coils in the support layer, give the Helix Dusk a solid, bouncy sensation. If you're a heavyweight combo sleeper, you might want to seek for a mattress with more bounce (latex is an excellent material for this) so your body can move around on the bed more readily.

We tested the Helix Dusk mattress's responsiveness by placing a 20-pound ball on it and waiting a second for it to sink in before removing the ball and measuring how long it took for the mattress to return to its previous shape.

In our test, the mattress recovered in around 1 second after we removed the ball. To achieve this rapid reaction, the latex-like top layer and coils function well together. You will never feel "stuck" because of the short response time, and you will always experience the ease of movement.

We grade the Helix Dusk Mattress 4.5/5 in terms of responsiveness evaluation performance.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is essential for individuals who share a bed since it shows how movement in one region of the mattress can affect other areas as well.

There is some motion transmission over the sleep surface, but it is not excessive.

The added support pulls back even more against the produced motion, increasing the amount of motion transmitted over the mattress' surface.

We ran two trials to assess the motion isolation properties of the Helix Dusk mattress. In the first test, a half-full glass of water was placed on top of the mattress, and a 20-pound ball was dumped on the other side. During the test, the water in the glass moved just a little, suggesting that the mattress had a fair amount of motion isolation.

The second test involved having someone lie on one side of the mattress while our reviewer rolled on the opposing side. When we asked the first participant if they felt any of the motions, he said he felt little movements.

We give the Helix Dusk Mattress a 4/5 grade for Motion Isolation.

Edge Support

Edge support is another important consideration when purchasing a mattress. The top layer of the pillow is made of gel foam, which provides more cushioning and rapid pressure relief to users, particularly those who sleep on their backs and stomachs.

To analyze the Helix Dusk, we conducted two tests: an edge support test in which we applied pressure to the mattress's edges and monitored the amounts of compression. When we let go of the mattress, the edges instantly sprung to their previous shape, providing us with good counter-pressure.

The second test involved sitting on the mattress's edge and monitoring how our weight affected the mattress. The mattress did not sink, and we did not notice any unpleasant motions that may have thrown us off balance. As a result, the Helix Dusk provides excellent support with no discernible compression or rolling off.

The deep foam and support layers affect the overall stability and durability of the mattress, particularly edge support. Because of the high quality of its materials, the mattress retains its form and does not sink at the edges over time. This signifies that the Helix Dusk performed well in our edge support performance test. The Helix Dusk mattress receives a 4.5/5 for edge support.

Noise

A noisy mattress can be a source of added distraction for sleeping couples. You may be jolted awake if your bed creaks and squeaks. When shifting positions and rolling over, the Helix Dusk made no perceptible noise, however, hybrid mattresses may creak after a few years of usage.

The Dusk is a rather quiet mattress. If you move around a lot on the bed, you can hear some noise, but not enough to wake up the sleeper with abnormally loud creaking sounds. This is especially beneficial for couples who share a bed, as the Helix Dusk is specifically intended to solve such problems. After doing a noise test on the Helix Dusk mattress with a 20-pound ball. We listened with sensitive microphones The Dusk is a relatively silent mattress and concluded that it produced almost no noise at all.

The Helix Dusk mattress received a 4/5 rating from us.

Sex

The majority of couples like mattresses that are both responsive and motion-isolating. The Helix Dusk mattresses are generally sensitive and bouncy, making them suitable for sexual activity. The Helix Dusk is indeed a suitable mattress for partners, in terms of bounce, cooling, edge support, and noise.

We rated the Helix Dusk Mattress 4.8/5 in terms of sex performance.

Pressure Relief

The amount of comfort a mattress offers in pressure areas that are sensitive, such as the shoulders and hips, is known as pressure relief. This is a useful indicator of how effectively a mattress will reduce discomfort as well.

We use a tool called a pressure map to measure the pressure and discomfort of a mattress model. We lay down on a mat that we unfold and place on top of a mattress. The pressure our bodies put on the mattress is then used to build a color-coded map. The map has a gradient; blue represents low pressure, green represents medium-low pressure, yellow represents medium-high pressure, and red represents high pressure.

• Back Area: The Helix Plus is a terrific option for back sleepers since it offers outstanding lumber support and maintains the spine's appropriate alignment while you sleep. The pressure map for the back area showed a very constant blue tint. Shoulders Area: The pressure map for the side sleeping position on the mattress revealed a mixture of green and blue hues for the shoulder area. This suggests that light-side sleepers may experience some pressure building from this mattress.
• Hips Area: In the stomach and back sleeping positions, the hip area consistently displayed a blue hue, whereas in the side sleeping position, there was a comparatively modest green color patch.

In terms of pressure relief, we rated the Helix Dusk Mattress 5/5.
