Construction
At 14 inches high, the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress provides comfort and support along with temperature control. Read the following sections to learn what goes into the 6 layers of this hybrid mattress.
Choice of Cooling Cover
The Helix Luxe mattress starts off with your choice of cooling fabric cover. The TENCEL cover is made from a breathable, super-soft knitted fabric. The silky GlacioTex Cooling Cover uses cooling technology to draw heat away from your body.
Quilted Pillow Topper
The cooling cover of your choice encloses a quilted pillow top layer. This layer is designed to comfort and cushion your body. It cradles your body with a medium feel.
Foam Comfort and Support Layers
Three more layers of foam provide support, contouring and pressure relief. Helix Dynamic Foam cushions and cradles your body. The high-density Memory Plus Foam provides pressure relief to your back, neck, shoulders and hips. Next, a transition layer of high grade polyfoam provides support and contouring.
Individually Wrapped Coil Layer
An 8-inch layer of individually wrapped steel coils provides zoned support. This layer targets support where it is needed most, such as the lumbar or lower back region. Up to 1500 coils help with spine alignment and pressure relief.

Durable Foam Base Layer
Thanks to the durable foam base layer, the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress has edge support on all 4 sides. The high-density base provides durability and structural stability for the entire mattress. Edge support helps prevent sagging around the perimeter, giving the mattress long lasting support.
Firmness
The Helix Dusk Luxe has a medium feel. It’s not too soft and not too firm, making it a great sleep surface for couples with differing sleep preferences. It can also be a good choice if you sleep on your side, back or stomach. If you like numbers, the Helix Dusk Luxe has a 5-6 rating on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 meaning “plush feel” and 10 meaning “firm feel”.

Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress Review: Advantages and Any Limitations
We researched the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress and believe it offers the following advantages along with some limitations:
Cool and Comfortable Sleep
Whether you choose the breathable TENCEL knitted cover or the silky, cooling GlacioTex cover, the Helix Dusk Luxe helps you sleep cool and comfortably. No one likes to wake up hot and sweaty, so a cooling mattress cover is a plus for the Helix Dusk Luxe.
Balance of Comfort and Support
You’ll love the balance of comfort and support from the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress. For starters, the quilted pillow top cushions your body to keep you comfy. Then three foam layers contour to your body shape and relieve pressure. Of course, we can’t guarantee that a mattress will relieve back pain. If you tend to have an achy back, however, a medium feel mattress that provides pressure relief is a great choice.
Zoned Support
More than just a flat surface, the Helix Dusk Luxe supports the natural shape of your body. The coil core provides zoned support that targets areas of your body that need support the most. The lumbar or lower back is one of those targeted regions. In fact, the mattress is softer under your shoulders and firmer under your hips to help keep your spine in alignment.
Shipped in a Box to Your Door
Helix takes the hassle out of getting your new mattress to your home. Your Helix Dusk Luxe mattress is compressed, rolled and shipped in a box to your door. And shipping is free within the USA. You don’t even have to be home for the delivery. Your new mattress-in-a-box will be waiting at your door when you get home from work or running errands.
It’s a good idea to use a dolly or have someone help you carry the box into your home. A mattress in a box is convenient but heavy!
Decompression and Off-Gassing
After you unbox your Helix Dusk Luxe, you’ll have to wait at least 30 to 45 minutes for the mattress to decompress. You may want to wait longer, however, for the mattress to aerate and get rid of an odor known as “off-gassing.” It can take up to a week for the odor to go away completely. Helix recommends letting the mattress aerate without any bedding and to use a fan to help the odor dissipate.

100-Night Sleep Trial
There’s no need to feel pressured to make a final decision about buying the Helix Dusk Luxe. The mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial to let you “break in” your new mattress, beginning with the delivery date. It can take at least 30 days to adjust to a new mattress, especially if your body is used to an old, soft mattress.
If you decide after 30 days that the Helix Dusk Luxe is just not working for you, no worries. Just contact Helix between days 31 and 100, and they will arrange a pickup and full refund.
No Harmful Chemicals
It’s important to know that your new mattress is safe for you and your family. You’ll be glad o know that the Helix Dusk Luxe is CertiPUR-US certified, which means that it is free of harmful chemicals. It’s good to have peace of mind about a major purchase like buying a mattress.
Warranty
A warranty can help you feel confident about your purchase. Helix includes a generous Limited Lifetime Warranty with its Dusk Luxe and Dusk Standard mattresses. This warranty covers manufacturer defects in the specific ways described in the respective Helix policy on its website, with exclusions. Coverage terms can change, so make sure you check up-to-date warranty details before you buy.
Financing Options
Would monthly payments make your Helix Dusk Luxe purchase easier? You can apply for financing through Klarna, subject to credit approval. Helix has also partnered with Katapult to provide financing for customers with low or no credit scores. Flexible financing options can help put the Dusk Luxe purchase within reach and easier in your budget.
Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress Review: Final Thoughts
The Helix Dusk Luxe is 6 layers of comfort and targeted support. The quilted pillow topper cushions and cradles your body. The foam layers contour to your unique body shape, providing pressure relief. You get zoned support from the individually wrapped coils to help keep your spine properly aligned. The cooling TENCEL or GlacioTex cover lets you stay cool and comfortable.
You’ll receive your mattress in a box, delivered directly to your door. Shipping is free in the USA. The mattress is compressed and rolled before it goes into the shipping container. One inconvenience is that decompression takes 30 to 45 minutes after unboxing, but it takes up to a week to get rid of the unpleasant odor.
Speaking of time, the Helix Dusk Luxe comes with a 100-night sleep trial. That’s more than three months to decide if you want to keep the mattress. If it turns out that the mattress isn’t a good fit, you can return it from day 31 to 100 for a refund.
You can have peace of mind about your purchase for several reasons. The Helix Dusk Luxe comes with a lengthy Limited Lifetime Warranty and is certified free of harmful chemicals. What’s more, financing options are available to help you fit the purchase with your budget.
