Our Verdict

Helix Midnight 2024

Helix Midnight Luxe 2024

The Helix Midnight Luxe 2024 and the Helix Midnight 2024 are very evenly matched, and for most people, the additional cost of the Luxe version won't be worth it. The Midnight Luxe is a medium-plush model with improved motion dissipation, making it a good option for couples. It's more responsive as well, so while it isolates motion, it still supports your movements. On the other hand, the Midnight, a slightly firmer medium model, has sturdier edges, so you can sleep right next to the sides without worrying about slipping off. It's more cooling, too, and while it's not quite cooling enough for hot sleepers, it's efficient enough to keep most people cool. Overall, unless motion dissipation is particularly important to you, the Helix Midnight is likely the better value.
