My eLuxury Supply Findings

For a foam hybrid mattress, I would classify it on the softer end of the spectrum, probably a medium soft. I do like how all the layers transition well. With some mattresses, you will feel the transition from foam to hitting the springs as you lay down. That’s not the case here.

Here’s a picture of my 14 lb. bowling ball on the mattress to give you an idea of how much it will sink..

Here’s another video showing motion transfer. This mattress has very little motion transfer. I think that’s because there are softer foams on the top layer which absorb most of the impact. It does have coils but micro coils really don’t transfer motion. These coils provide just a little more contouring that foam alone cannot provide.

Here’s a video that shows how well the mattress dissipates heat. I would say that this mattress is sort of middle of the road for heat dissipation. If your primary concern is sleeping hot there are better choices out there but I didn’t notice it to necessarily sleep hot.

My eLuxury Supply Recommendation

There are other micro coil and foam mattresses on the market with similar construction, however, at $1,000 for a queen size this is a pretty good deal. Among the other microcoil mattresses this one is slightly softer. It lacks some of the cooling features such as a phase change cover but if you aren’t a hot sleeper, you won’t miss this. Eluxury has a 120 night hassle free return policy so there’s no risk in trying it out.

I recommend this mattress for people that like a soft foam mattress but want just a little more push back that foam alone cannot provide. With the micro coil system you get the benefits of having a softer, denser foam at the top while the micro coils can do the work of springing it back to life a little quicker.

The Helix pillow is an adjustable pillow with two options, the original Helix Pillow and the Helix Cool which has a phase change fabric in the cover that is cool to the touch. A standard size retails for $85 while a King size sells for $99. The pillow comes with a 100 night sleep trial which is super generous for a pillow. This means if you don’t like it within the 100 days, returns are free and you get all your money back.

Ordering Your Helix Pillows

After placing your order through the Helix website, your pillow should arrive in about 5 business days. Here’s a picture of the box my pillows arrived in.

When you open the box you will find your pillow plastic wrapped to keep it clean and a nice little booklet explaining how to adjust the pillow.

Overview of the Helix Pillows

In the video below I break down the main difference between the regular helix pillow and the Helix Cool. Basically, the Helix Cool uses a phase change material which makes the pillow feel cool while the original uses a knitted fabric. I found the original to be just a bit softer because the knit fabric was more stretchy.

My Helix Pillow Findings

Both of these pillows come with a zipper to access the inside of the pillow. This allows you to adjust the loft so you can get optimal spinal alignment.

Here’s a peek inside the pillow where you can see each of the layers. There’s lots of detail here including the dots on the inside. It just makes the pillow look nicer and is more fun. I kept all the layers in the pillow since I have broad shoulders and need a thicker pillow.

Here’s what the cover of the regular Helix pillow looks like. It’s a knit fabric that is breathable and stretchy.

Here’s a picture of the Helix Cool cover for comparison. The Helix Cool is definitely cooler to the touch and great for hot sleepers. These pillows have the same inside construction.

Does the Helix Pillow Sleep Hot?

No. In fact both versions didn’t trap heat but the cool version did add some extra cooling comfort and is worth the upgrade if you tend to sleep hot. Below are some videos shot with my infrared came to illustrate the point.

Here’s the regular Helix Pillow

And here is how the Cool pillow fares.

My Helix Pillow Recommendation

The Helix pillow is a very cozy adjustable pillow. I think what makes the regular pillow extra cozy is the knit stretch fabric. This gives you maximum contouring. They also use a combination of foam and down alternative this makes it feel more like a traditional pillow instead of just a block of foam. The Helix will feel like a nice thick down pillow that is more supportive than a traditional down pillow during the night.

A key advantage the Helix Pillow has over some of the competition is that it is easy to adjust the loft. There are other pillows on the market where you can adjust the fill but you would need to put the fill in a Ziploc bag for storage. With the helix, you simply remove one of the 3 layers.

Given the generous trial and it’s familiar feel with the key advantages of customization and cooling, the Helix pillow is a must try.
