Saatva claims the RX is medium-soft but our testers found it medium-firm.

The responsive feel is among thebest mattresses for stomach sleepersand back sleepers.

Side sleepers, however, might find the RX lacks cushioning.

But that’s no problem with the Helix Midnight Luxe.

We declared it thebest mattress for side sleepers(and we loved it for back sleeping as well.)

The thick foams also absorb movement (motion isolationis an issue with the RX.)
