The Helix Midnight mattress is a 12″ hybrid mattress made of a variety of foam types and a pocketed coil support base. It comes with a standard thin, knit cover but you can also upgrade to an advanced cooling cover.

Helix updated their entire mattress line in April 2025. These updates impact every mattress, including the Midnight, with changes being made to materials, fabrics, designs, and more. Our tests and photos below are based on the most recent design version that launched in April 2025.

The Helix Midnight is available in a single firmness level — medium-firm.

This mattress has moderate sinkage and moderate levels of bounce. This gives the mattress a balanced feel that would be suitable for a wide range of sleepers.

In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 8.76, ranking the mattress in the top 36% of all mattresses tested to date. This is a solid score, especially considering its lower price tag

The Helix Midnight is $1,099 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 22% less than the average hybrid mattress, for a savings of $317 on a queen. Even if you opt for the advanced cooling cover, the total price ($1,398 for a queen) would still slide in under the average hybrid price ($1,416). All things considered, the Helix Midnight is a solid choice for sleepers looking for a value hybrid.

As a combination sleeper, I love hybrid mattresses, as they combine foam and innerspring coils to offer more versatility for those of us who just can’t commit to one sleeping position throughout the night. Sleepers like me should consider the Helix Midnight Luxe, a luxury hybrid mattress from Helix’s more high-end mattress collection.

I’ve spent the past few years reviewing the often-overlooked complexities of mattresses and sleep products to help shoppers get a straightforward understanding of the best mattress to fit their specific needs. Mattress Clarity shares this mission, having reviewed over 500 beds and helping more than 40,000 people find the right new mattress for their homes. Our medically backed, non-biased testing and reviews are always expert-verified by our on-site team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches, with further oversight from our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM. We also called upon our chief medical product tester, Dr. Hannah Habeeb, DPT, to evaluate each bed from an orthopedic standpoint.

When we tested the Helix Midnight Luxe, it demonstrated great temperature regulation and quality airflow, earning a 4.5/5 for overall cooling. Additionally, despite having innerspring coils, the bed had great motion isolation (4/5), which, in addition to its near-perfect edge support (4.8/5) and excellent responsiveness (4/5), makes the bed a top candidate for couples seeking a shared bed for their home.

With all that said, in this Helix mattress review, I’ll break down everything you need to know about the Midnight Luxe to help you determine if it’s the right choice for you.
