Construction
At 12 inches thick, this hybrid mattress has 4 layers plus a cooling cover. Below you’ll learn how the Helix Dawn mattress is constructed:
Choice of Cooling Cover
The Helix Dawn mattress comes with your choice of Soft Touch or GlacioTex cover. Soft Touch is a breathable knitted fabric that promotes airflow and comfort. GlacioTex has a silky texture and keeps you cool by drawing heat away from your body.
Foam Comfort Layer
Helix Dynamic foam is a latex alternative that contours to your body and responds like latex. This comfort layer helps relieve pressure on your back, neck, shoulders and hips while still providing a firm feel. It creates a comfortable sleep surface without sacrificing support.
High-Grade Polyfoam Layer
A transition layer of high-grade polyfoam provides support and cushioning. It has a high IFD, which means that it can support more weight without becoming indented. This foam layer cushions your body while keeping your spine aligned.
Wrapped Coil Layer
The Helix Dawn mattress core contains up to 950 individually wrapped coils that cradle your body and allow air circulation. The 8-inch coils limit motion transfer, which is a good feature for couples. Your partner won’t be disturbed if you get out of bed during the night. You also get edge support from the coils, which are reinforced along two sides of the bed.
DuraDense Foam Base
The DuraDense foam base gives the bottom layer durability. The high-density foam combines with the reinforced coils to provide support through the Helix Dawn mattress — including the edges. Edge support and durability help the mattress provide long-lasting support without sagging.
Firmness
Helix Dawn has an 8-9 rating on a firmness scale, with 1 being “plush feel” and 10 being “firm feel”. It contours to your body shape without letting your hips or shoulders sink into the mattress. Solid support combines with comfort to relieve pressure on your joints and keep your spine in a neutral position.
Available Sizes
Whether you’re a single sleeper in a studio apartment or a couple with a master bedroom, you can find the right size Helix Dawn for your home. It’s available in a full range of sizes:
- Twin 38” x 75”
- Twin XL 38” x 80”
- Full 54” x 75”
- Queen 60” x 80”
- King 76” x 80”
- California King 72” x 84”
Helix Dawn Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations
We have researched and reviewed that Helix Dawn mattress and we believe that it offers the benefits listed below. Of course, no one is perfect, so we have also included minor limitations.
Cooling Comfort
Let’s face it, it’s no fun waking up too hot. When the temperature is just right, it’s so much easier to sleep. The Helix Dawn mattress helps you stay cool and comfortable with your choice of Soft Touch or GlacioTech covers. Soft Touch is a breathable knitted fabric that keeps the air circulating instead of heating up. GlacioTech keeps the temperature down by drawing heat away from your body.
Great for Back or Stomach Sleepers
If you sleep on your back or stomach, you need extra support to prevent that “sinking feeling” in your hips, shoulders or spine. A mattress that’s too soft can throw your back out of line, resulting in restless nights and morning aches and stiffness. With a 8-to-9 rating on a firmness scale of 1 to 10, Helix Dawn gives you the support you need from head to toe.

Edge Support That Won’t Let You Down
Speaking of support, the Helix Dawn mattress has features that prevent sagging at the edges. A high-density foam base as well as reinforced coils along two sides of the mattress increase stability and durability. You’ll find it easier to get out of bed when the perimeter of the mattress is stable. You won’t feel like you’re sliding off the edge of the bed first thing in the morning!
Pressure Relief for a Comfortable Sleep
Besides support and a firm feel, proper contouring and cushioning are crucial for a comfortable sleep experience. You’ll appreciate the pressure relief provided by the foam layers in the Helix Dawn mattress. Also, the hundreds of individually wrapped coils cradle your spine, neck, shoulders and hips while the Helix Dynamic foam responds to the shape of your body. The result? A restful and comfy night’s sleep.
Shipped in a Box to Your Door
After you order your Helix Dawn mattress, all you have to do is wait for it to arrive at your door. No need to miss work or wait around for a delivery team. Your mattress will be waiting for you at your door when you come home at the end of the day. Just make sure you ask someone to help you bring the box into your bedroom; it’s heavy!
Wait for Decompression and “Off-Gassing”
When you unbox your Helix Dawn, you’ll see that it has been compressed and rolled to fit inside the box. That means that you’ll have to wait at least 30 to 45 minutes for it to decompress before you use it. You may also need to let it air out for a day or two to get rid of the unpleasant odor or “off-gassing”. Just make sure the mattress is in a well-ventilated room while it airs out.
100-Night Sleep Trial
It can take weeks to get used to a new mattress, especially if you’ve been sleeping on an old, sagging mattress. That’s why Helix gives you a risk-free 100-night sleep trial beginning on the day your Helix Dawn is delivered.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Another reason for peace of mind about buying the Helix Dawn mattress is the Limited Lifetime Warranty. The warranty includes manufacturer defects in specific circumstances, as detailed in the company policy.
Terms are always subject to change, so make sure you check the company website for warranty details.

Flexible Financing
When you’re shopping for the best firm mattress, it helps to find flexible payment plans. Thanks to partnerships with Klarna, financing plans are available for the Helix Dawn Mattress, subject to credit approval. Also, Katapult offers payment plans for customers with no credit or bad credit. Installment payments can make a major purchase such as buying a mattress a little easier.
Environmentally Friendly
When you buy a product for your home, you want it to be safe and free of harmful chemicals. You can feel good about the safety of the Helix Dawn mattress, which is certified by Certi-PUR-US. That means that the mattress does not contain any harmful chemicals. You can fall asleep knowing that your mattress is safe for you, your family and the environment.
Concluding Thoughts on the Helix Dawn Mattress Review
The Helix Dawn mattress offers a balance of comfort and support with a firm feel that is ideal for stomach and side sleepers. The foam layers provide contouring and support, which help relieve pressure and keep your spine in a neutral position. Hundreds of individually wrapped coils cradle and support the shape of your body. Reinforced coils and a high-density foam base add durability and edge support.
You’ll sleep cool, too, with your choice of Soft Touch or GlacioTex mattress covers. The Soft Touch cover is a slightly stretchy, breathable fabric. GlacioTex is a silky cover that is cool to the touch and draws away heat.
Convenience is another feature of this mattress in a box. Helix Dawn is shipped in a box directly to your door and will be there when you get home from work or running errands. You don’t have to rearrange your day to meet a delivery team. A minor inconvenience, however, is the waiting time while the mattress decompresses and airs out after unboxing.
The 100-night trial is a winner when it comes to purchasing the Helix Dawn mattress. Even the best firm mattress for your home takes at least 30 days to break in. If you’re not happy with the Helix Dawn 30 days after delivery, you can contact the company to arrange a return and refund. You’ll also appreciate the Limited Lifetime Warranty.
After our research and review, it is our opinion that the Helix Dawn mattress is a quality product that offers value to customers.
