How the Helix Midnight Mattress is Made

With a medium feel, the Helix Midnight mattress balances comfort, support and cooling features. In the following sections, we share the construction details.

Cooling Top Cover

The Helix Midnight mattress comes with a Breathe Knit cover. This light, breathable fabric lets airflow carry away heat to keep you cool. You can also upgrade to the GlacioTex^TM Cooling Cover with or without a pillow top, to feel cool on contact.            

Memory Plus Foam Comfort Layer

The Memory Plus foam comfort layer creates a cradling effect for optimal comfort. The foam contours to your body’s natural shape, providing pressure relief to your spine and joints.

Helix Responsive Foam Comfort Layer

An additional layer of comfort foam provides the medium feel of the Helix Midnight mattress. With just enough bounce, Helix Responsive foam adds support to the cradling comfort.

Helix Responsive Foam Transition Layer

One more layer of Helium Responsive Foam eases the transition to the coil support layer. Ergonomic support and cushioning maintain the medium feel of the Helix Midnight mattress.

Coil Body Shape Layer

Individually wrapped coils add support and pressure relief while two reinforced sides provide edge support. The coils conform to your body shape and adapt to your sleep position, preventing motion transfer. This layer also promotes air circulation to prevent heat retention.

DuraDense Foam Base Layer

Finally, DuraDense foam creates a sturdy base layer. This layer enhances the durability of the entire mattress and maintains even support throughout the sleep surface.

Medium Feel

The Helix Midnight mattress has a medium feel, providing a not-too-soft and not-too-firm sleep surface. On a mattress firmness scale of 1 to 10, with 10 the firmest, this mattress has a rating of 5 to 6. A medium mattress balances comfort with support and is a great choice for side, back or combination sleepers.

Helix Midnight Height and Weight

The best RV mattress for your RV depends on the dimensions of your sleep area and the weight capacity of your RV. The Helix Midnight measures 11.5 inches high, which is thicker than some RV mattresses. Depending on the size, the mattress weighs from 58 lbs. to 115 lbs.

Helix Midnight Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations

We have researched and reviewed the Helix Midnight mattress. Layer by layer, we’ve looked at its construction details. In the following sections, we share what we believe are its benefits as well as any limitations.

Balance of Support and Comfort

The layers of the Helix Midnight mattress create an ideal balance of comfort and support. First, the Memory Plus foam cradles your body and relieves pressure points. We think that at the end of a long day of RV travel, your spine, hips and shoulders will appreciate the contouring comfort of this layer.

Next, two layers of Helix Responsive Foam offer additional conforming comfort. Plus, they ease the transition to the supportive coil layer, where individually wrapped coils provide support and adapt as you change position.

Great for Side Sleepers

If you sleep on your side, the Helix Midnight may be an ideal choice for you. The comfort layers cradle the spine, shoulders and hips to provide pressure relief and keep the spine aligned. The medium feel cushions the body without letting you sink too deep. The Helix Midnight is also a good choice for back and combination sleepers.

Motion Isolation

Thanks to the individually wrapped coils, the Helix Midnight provides motion isolation — a great feature for couples. The coils move as you move and adapt as you change sleep position, preventing motion from transferring to your partner’s side. The result is an undisturbed night for your partner, even if you’re tossing and turning. In the small sleep area of an RV, motion isolation can be a great advantage.

Cooling Features

If you’re traveling in an RV during the warmer months, a cool sleep surface is a great way to end the day. From the cooling cover to the coil core, the Helix Midnight regulates temperature for a comfortable sleep. The mattress comes with a Breathe Knit cover that promotes air flow, while the optional GlacioTex^TM cover feels cool to the touch. The individually wrapped coils also help regulate temperature by allow air to circulate.

Fits Larger RV Sleep Areas

Careful measurement is crucial before buying an RV mattress. Even the best RV mattress won’t work if it’s too big for the sleep space. At 11.5” high, the Helix Midnight mattress is on the thicker end of the RV mattress height spectrum. It may be too thick for a pop-up trailer or small RV.

Certified Free of Harmful Chemicals

The Helix Midnight contains foams that meet CertiPUR-US and Greenguard Gold certification standards. That means that the foams are free of harmful chemicals such as lead, mercury or other heavy metals. The foams are also low in harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions. You can have peace of mind knowing that your new mattress is safe for your family and for the environment.

Mattress In a Box

After you order your Helix Midnight, the mattress is rolled, compressed and packed into a box. Helix ships your new mattress directly to your door, even if you’re not home. You don’t have to hassle with delivery times or rearrange your day.

Once your mattress is out of the box, it takes about 45 minutes to fully expand. However, you may want to air out the mattress to allow a harmless odor or “off-gassing” to fade away. The odor should be completely gone within a week.

100-Night Sleep Trial

It takes time to adjust to a new mattress. Fortunately, the Helix Midnight mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial. That more than three months to try the mattress, whether it’s on the road or at home. After a 30-day break-in period, you can return the mattress for a full refund during the 100-night trial. Thanks to this risk-free trial period, you can rest easy about your mattress purchase.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

The Helix Midnight mattress comes with a generous Limited Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturer defects in specific situations, as per the related Helix policy.

If Helix agrees that the mattress has manufacturer defects, they may repair or replace the mattress. Before you buy a mattress, always check the latest warranty terms, as the terms may change at any time.

Final Thoughts on the Helix Midnight Mattress Review

With a medium feel and layers of foam and coil, the Helix Midnight offers a comfortable sleep surface for your RV or bedroom. Plus, the cooling features can help you rest during a summer RV trip.

Memory Plus foam and Helix Responsive foam provide pressure relief and help keep your spine in alignment. The layer of individually wrapped coils offer ample support and motion isolation, as well as additional pressure relief. The mattress is especially well suited for side sleepers. Thanks to reinforced sides, the mattress has sturdy edge support to prevent sagging.

Thanks to the Breathe Knit cover, the mattress stays cool and comfortable. We also like the option to upgrade to the GlacioTex^TM cooling cover.

The Helix Midnight is available in two RV sizes: Short Queen and RV King. It may be a little tall for smaller RVs, so we recommend measuring and remeasuring your sleep area before buying the mattress.

Shipped in a box, the Helix Midnight takes much of the hassle from buying a mattress. However, we recommend allowing a few days for the mattress to air out before placing it in your RV.

You can have peace of mind about your Helix Midnight purchase for several reasons. First, the foams meet safety certification standards. Also, the mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

After our research and review, we believe that the Helix Midnight mattress offers value to consumers. In our opinion, it is a quality product.
