Based in Arizona, Helix produce some of the best mattresses you can buy in the U.S. this year. With three mattress tiers (Core, Luxe and Elite) and various firmness levels to chose from, Helix has a bed for every sleep style and budget.
The Helix early access Labor Day sale is now running, taking 20% off sitewide. But, dear readers, you're in luck because our exclusive discount code (psst, TOMS27) makes that discount even better, taking 27% off all mattresses at Helix.
With our code, you can shop the stomach-sleeper-favorite Dawn mattress from just $729 (was $999) at Helix or our beloved Midnight Luxe mattress from $1,048 (was from $1,436), getting much better prices than you'll find in the official Labor Day mattress sale.
We've tested a Helix mattress in every firmness level and we've never been let down by the brand, but we'd always recommend making the most of mattress sales when you buy. Here are the ones we recommend shopping in the current Helix mattress sale, depending on your preferred sleep position...
Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436.25 now $1,048.47 with TOMS27 code at HelixThe Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress is not only the best Helix mattress for side sleepers, but the best mattress for side sleepers overall this year. We've tested the recently-upgraded version of this mattress and our review panel was hard pressed to find a single flaw with it. Its supportive coil core encourages good posture so you can avoid back pain, while there's also plenty of cushioning foams to soothe the shoulders, hips and knees when you lie on your side. After our exclusive 27% off, a queen Midnight Luxe is down to $1,751.09 from $2,398.75. This matches the lowest price we've seen on this mattress this year — and matches its Black Friday price, which is historically the cheapest time of year to buy a mattress. Hot sleepers can add a GlacioTex cooling cover for an extra $199 (was $248.75), which we recommend you do if hot flashes are keeping you up at night.
Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress: twin was $1,436.25 now $1,048.47 with TOMS27 code at HelixThe Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress is the firmer sister of the Midnight Luxe, offering better support to back sleepers who need a more robust sleep surface to prevent their spines from dipping. Although mattress firmness is subjective, our lead reviewer for the Helix Dusk Luxe, a back and stomach sleeper, declared it one of the most comfortable mattresses she's ever slept on. Online customer reviewers who sleep on their back go as far as saying their back pain disappeared after sleeping on this mattress. In the same price tier as the Midnight Luxe, it is also $1,751.09 for a queen size now after the 27% discount. Again, a GlacioTex cooling cover can be added for an extra $199.
Helix Dawn Mattress: twin was $998.75 now $729.09 with TOMS27 code at HelixThe Helix Dawn Mattress is a firm hybrid combining dense foams with a spring base. Solid support is its stand-out feature, which is great news for any stomach sleeper who needs a sturdy mattress to hold their spine in line overnight to avoid aches and pains. It's not so great for side sleepers who need cushioning around pressure points, though (they're likely to wake up with shoulder pain after a night on this bed). Part of Helix's Core collection, this mattress is more affordable than the Luxe models above, and even better value when you use our code TOMS27 at checkout. This knocks a queen size to $1,002.84 (was $1,373.75), which we think delivers great value on a hybrid mattress of this quality. Once Labor Day is over, we don't expect to see this discount again until Black Friday in late November, so snap it up now if you want to upgrade your sleep pronto (it'll ship free in three to seven days).
