Construction of Helix Bed Frames

The bed frames lineup features designs made of different materials for options to suit a range of bedrooms. The platform bed frames include options made of strong, hardened steel or premium natural materials.

The Madison Bed Frame features 100% Appalachian hardwood bed rails, 100% solid Southern Yellow Pine slats, and 100% solid Appalachian Maple legs. All water-based wood finishes have no formaldehyde and zero VOCs (volatile organic compounds), so they won’t emit harmful fumes in your home.

An alternative to a bed frame is an Adjustable Base from Helix, made of durable carbon steel with polyester upholstery. It has head and foot elevation to find the right sleep angle for you, and 12-inch stable legs to customize height.

Helix also has a 7.5-inch tall foundation to pair with compatible bed frames; it is designed to sit beneath a suitable mattress. The Helix Foundation has spruce wood slats and woven exterior upholstery.

• California King

Check Sizes Price

It’s nice to see the smaller sizes rather than only the three largest ones. There are options for solo sleepers and couples. Each size of bed frame suits the corresponding standard US mattress size, such as a king-size bed frame for a king-size mattress.

The Helix Frame is compatible with any mattress, per its website, but requires a compatible foundation, box spring, or base. The Helix Foundation is designed to work with the bed frame and is available as a convenient add-on.

The Madison Bed Frame does not require a foundation and is generally compatible with a mattress designed for close-spaced slat support. If in doubt as to whether your mattress is compatible with any frame, reaching out to the manufacturer to confirm is a reasonable next step.

Helix Bed Frames Review: Pros and Any Drawbacks

Choosing the right bed frame can improve comfort, mattress durability, and overall sleep quality, in addition to completing the look of a bedroom. To make an informed choice, it helps to know the benefits and potential limitations of Helix’s lineup. Let’s do that next, beginning with appearance.

Modern, Minimalistic Style

Right away, we noticed a commonality between the frames, adjustable base, and foundation in the collection. Each is minimalist in design. This modern take on bedroom decor is simple and classy. The look of each bed frame is timeless and easily matches different bedroom styles and colors.

The Madison Bed Frame stands out in the collection as it comes in your choice of Natural or White. Being able to choose the finish helps you match the frame to your existing furniture, bedding, and wall color.

The Natural finish has a welcoming, earthy look with its light wood grain, while the White option has a bright, clean appearance. Both can fit easily into a contemporary bedroom. Although the minimalist style won’t suit everyone, such as those who want an upholstered or brightly colored bed frame, you can personalize the room with bedding, accessories, and decor.

Strong Metal or Sustainable Wood

In the past, you may have felt that you had to settle for a metal frame when you wanted a wood one, or vice versa. With this Helix lineup, you can choose which one as both are available. A natural wood grain, like the Madison Bed Frame has, is durable for a long lifespan, if cared for properly. It is sustainable, too. For example, the wood comes from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified locations, and only sustainable wood species are chosen.

The hardened steel frame from Helix is low maintenance and lightweight (31-55 pounds, depending on the size). It can support more than 2,500 pounds with no noise or motion transfer, per the Helix website. Plus, there are no sharp edges that could be safety hazards.

Easy No-Tool Setup

Putting together furniture can be stressful, so it’s nice to see that Helix’s Madison Bed Frame has a simple assembly. It does not require tools as there is no metal hardware. Instead, it uses Japanese joinery, with naturally noise-reducing joints.

The metal bed frame in the Helix collection also does not require tools to assemble. If you don’t consider yourself to be very handy or don’t have a big toolkit, the easy setup is great. It takes around 10 minutes to assemble the steel Helix Frame, per its site, and it comes with a step-by-step guide to follow.

If you don’t want to deal with setting up the Adjustable Base or Helix Foundation yourself, white glove delivery is available for either one. That includes delivery and setup in your chosen room, available for a reasonable fee at checkout.

No Headboard

Those looking for a bed frame with a headboard included won’t find it in this Helix collection. While the Madison frame (in Natural or White finish) is not compatible with headboards, the steel Helix Frame works with many bolt-on headboards, per Helix’s site. We encourage you to confirm compatibility with the manufacturer prior to purchase if you want to attach a headboard.

There are freestanding and wall-mounted headboards options available online, as another option. A headboard can be comfy to lean against while sitting up in bed to read or watch TV. It can also add personality to a bedroom, depending on the design and color. If your room is small or you prefer a minimalist look, you likely won’t want a headboard.

Sleep Trial

As you need time to use the bed frame at home with your mattress to decide if it is right for you, Helix includes a risk-free sleep trial with its bed frames and adjustable base. The 30-night sleep trial, which begins on the date of delivery, gives you time to test how it performs. In the unlikely scenario you decide it’s not a good fit, reach out to Helix within that time to begin the return process for your refund. Knowing there’s a sleep trial in place increases peace of mind for many people.

Warranty Protection

There is great value in the 5-year manufacturer’s warranty with your new Madison Bed Frame (in Natural or White finish). This limited warranty includes manufacturing defects in the assembly and materials, including warped wood, with certain guidelines. As the warranty differs between bed frames and can change over time, we encourage you to check the relevant Helix policy on its site for the latest details. A warranty gives you extra confidence in the bed frame’s durability and build.

Affordable

Given the high-quality materials of the Helix Bed Frames, including the sustainable Madison Bed Frame, we are impressed with the price. It is reasonable for the quality, especially as a well-made bed frame is more likely to last longer. Plus, there are online-only discounts occasionally for further savings and ground shipping is free within the contiguous US.

Helix Bed Frames Review Conclusion

The Helix Bed Frames offer high value for the quality builds, well-made in sturdy steel or premium sustainable wood. While there are no headboard-included frames, the minimalist style suits many bedrooms and durability of these bed frames is likely more important for many people.

The included sleep trial and manufacturer’s warranty on frames, including the Madison Bed Frame in Natural or Wood finish, show Helix’s confidence in its bed frames. The tool-free assembly can make for a stress-free setup experience, too. We recommend the contemporary bed frames at Helix, available in sizes to suit solo sleepers and couples.
