Our Verdict
Helix Midnight Luxe 2025
Nectar Luxe Hybrid
The Helix Midnight Luxe 2025 is a better mattress than the Nectar Luxe Hybrid. The Helix offers more support and pressure relief, making it a more comfortable and versatile option for a range of different body types and sleeping positions. It's also bouncier and more responsive, which makes it easier to move around on, and it has better edge support, extending the usable sleeping surface.
