Helix Sunset Luxe mattress: Design

The 13.5" Helix Sunset Luxe has six layers.

Anchoring the mattress is a base layer of Helix DuraDense Foam.

There are a couple of optional upgrades.

Instead of fiberglass, the Helix Sunset Luxe uses a fire-retardant barrier made from Rayon yarn.

(For reference, I’m 5ft4in and around 145lbs.)

That said, I’m not complaining.

I prefer a slightly firmer mattress to help with my occasional lower back pain.

The center sank 2.75" while the top sank 3".

That’s consistent with the design of the Sunset Luxe’s ergonomic coils.

In both cases, we measured a 2.75" sinkage.

That matches what we recorded at the center of the bed, which also features firmer coils.

How does this translate to real-world use?

We noticed slightly more compression when sitting on the corners, but we weren’t unsteady.

Based on our tests, we rate the edge support of the Helix Sunset Luxe above average.

The reinforced perimeter coils will allow sleepers to comfortably occupy as much of the surface as possible.

When we dropped the weight from 4" away to mimic severe restlessness, the glass fell over.

Our real-world tests produced similar results.

Most co-sleepers should be able to share a bed without disruption.

Should you buy the Helix Sunset Luxe mattress?

That said, proceed with caution if one of you is prone to severe restlessness.

Judging by the customer reviews, we’re not alone in thinking this so temper your expectations accordingly.

Either way, we think the Sunset Luxe delivers excellent contouring and support for side and back sleepers.

We also recommend it for couples thanks to its strong edge support and effective motion isolation.
