Midnight Luxe Named Best Hybrid Mattress of 2026 by Sleep Foundation
Sleep Foundation named the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress the best Hybrid Mattress of 2026 after analyzing it against competitors in the mattress industry. Reviewers praised the Midnight Luxe for having a balanced feel that works great for multiple sleeping positions. "The Helix Midnight Luxe is the perfect middle-of-the-road hybrid that caters to the widest variety of sleepers," the review said. "It offers a well-rounded combination of support, pressure relief, and temperature control."
Glendale, AZ - June 29, 2026 - Sleep Foundation, a leading industry resource for research, product reviews, and sleep health resources, recently named the Helix Midnight Luxe as its best hybrid mattress of 2026. Midnight Luxe is a medium-feel mattress, designed with layers of high-density memory foam layers that contour to your hips and shoulders in side sleeping positions. The mattress has gained wide praise across the internet for its durable feel and premium comfort layers.
In its testing, Sleep Foundation awarded the Midnight Luxe a 9.7 out of 10, praising its balanced feel, reinforced edge support, and targeted pressure relief. Expert reviewers analyzed a handful of categories to determine the performance of each mattress, including motion isolation, temperature control, pressure relief, and off-gassing.
The Midnight Luxe received high marks across the board, with the review noting that "Reinforced coils along the perimeter limit sinkage when you get in and out of bed." The review also said, "we also found the coils promote enough airflow to help the mattress sleep cool despite memory foam beneath the surface."
A Cooling Mattress That Doesn't Retain Heat
The Sleep Foundation review examined each individual layer of the Midnight Luxe, beginning with its Tencel cover on the surface of the mattress. Reviewers praised the cover as being smooth and soft, while retaining very little heat. Beneath the cover of the mattress, reviewers noted that the premium memory foam layers in the Midnight Luxe "compress to accommodate pressure points, but with slightly more bounce and minimal heat buildup compared to other foam hybrids we’ve tested."
A Mattress That Doesn't Allow Too Much Sink
One additional area that reviewers praised for the Midnight Luxe was the way its foam layers and coil support combine to provide comfort and support without allowing sleepers to sink too far into the surface of the mattress. The review noted that the transition layer of foam in the Midnight Luxe felt firmer than in other mattresses reviewed and work hand in hand with the support coils to prevent sinking.
"The Midnight Luxe’s support core has pocketed coils over dense base foam," the review said. "As in other hybrids we’ve tested, these coils improved edge support and responsiveness while transferring less motion than old-fashioned coils. The base foam serves as a shock-absorbing base for the coils."
