This month's Helix mattress sale features 27% off all mattresses at Helix with our exclusive code, TOMS27. A continuation of its Labor Day offer, this remains the biggest discount we've seen this year on the Core collection mattresses. You’ll get a free pillow set with every bed purchase — not quite the bedding bundle we saw a few weeks ago with the Luxe and Elite models, but still sound.
Notable from this sale is the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress, now $1,732.88 for a queen after code TOMS27 (was $2,373.80). This luxurious hybrid has earned a place in our best mattress of 2024 guide for bringing the ideal balance of cushion and support for side sleepers. It comes with a 15-year warranty and a 100-night trial, with free returns if you're not satisfied.
Our exclusive coupon code is valid throughout September so don't wait too long if you want to save ahead of this year's Black Friday mattress sales. Read on to discover our favorite Helix mattresses to shop right now, plus how to choose the right Helix mattress for you.
Helix Mattress Sale: Top 5 deals this month
Helix Black Friday mattress sale: what to expect
In 2023, Helix transitioned to a percent-off model that for the most part yields larger savings than we used to see from the brand's dollar-off deals. The standard now is 20% off, with that figure bumped to 25% or 30% off during major holidays. (Higher discounts are reserved for Luxe and Elite models, as we observed during this year's Memorial Day sale.)
For Black Friday 2023, Helix took 25% off all mattresses plus a free bedding bundle worth up to $418 with purchase. This year's Helix Black Friday and Cyber Monday mattress sales have the potential to be even better than in 2023, given that the Helix Luxe and Elite models occasionally receive 30% off. Provided our exclusive 27% discount makes a comeback, Helix's Core Collection could reap bigger savings, too.
But if you're keen to take a brief trip in the Wayback Machine, here's what went down during Helix's Black Friday sale in 2022...
- $150 off purchases of $600+
- $250 off purchases of $1,249+
- $300 off purchases of $1,700+
- $350 off purchases of $2,550+
- $400 off purchases of $2,700+
- $450 off purchases of $2,950+
Was it a good Black Friday deal? Yes. At the time, the discounts were bigger than we usually saw from Helix, and better than previous Black Friday deals. While the percent-off discounts we see from the brand now are stronger, Helix's MSRPs have risen slightly since then. Still, you're more likely to avail yourself of lower sale prices today.
Which Helix mattress should you choose?
Helix's three main mattress ranges – Helix Core ,Helix Luxe, and Helix Elite – are split into three different firmness options: soft, medium, and firm. Each is available in two versions, depending on your preferred sleeping position. One is tailored for side sleepers; the other is for back and stomach sleepers. Once you know this, it's very easy to choose the right Helix mattress.
However, you can also take the Helix Sleep Quiz. This will match you with the right mattress in just a few minutes, based on the answers to some questions about your age, height, sleeping preferences and so on. (If you share a bed, you can fill in your partner's details too.)
| Header Cell - Column 0 | Side sleeper | Back or stomach sleeper |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | Helix Sunset | Helix Moonlight |
| Medium | Helix Midnight (most popular) | Helix Dusk |
| Firm | Helix Twilight | Helix Dawn |
| Header Cell - Column 0 | Side sleeper | Back or stomach sleeper |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | Helix Sunset Luxe | Helix Moonlight Luxe |
| Medium | Helix Midnight Luxe (most popular) | Helix Dusk Luxe |
| Firm | Helix Twilight Luxe | Helix Dawn Luxe |
| Header Cell - Column 0 | Side sleeper | Back or stomach sleeper |

| Firm | Helix Twilight Elite | Helix Dawn Elite |
Alternatively, if you have a higher body weight or you're tall, then consider the Helix Plus. This Helix mattress has an extra layer of high density foam to provide maximum support.
Finally, if you're looking for an all-natural organic mattress, head to sister brand Birch. In our Birch Natural mattress review, we were very impressed with the flagship option. It's Greenguard Gold and GOTS certified, which means it's eco-friendly, sustainably sourced, and free from harmful chemicals.
Today's best Helix mattress prices
The Helix Midnight mattress is designed for side sleepers and those who move around in the night. It's got a medium feel - not too firm or soft - which makes it Helix's most popular mattress.
Memory foam is ideal for providing comfort and pressure relief, but it can be known to overheat in the night. Helix's breathable cover is designed to save you sweaty nights by increasing airflow, so hot sleepers can still get the advantages of memory foam with the Midnight mattress.

Designed for plus-size sleepers, the Helix Plus mattress has all the extra touches needed for big and tall users to get that perfect night's sleep. This includes extra-tall coils which provide more support, and 4-pound memory foam in a specialist Helix Plus blend. This high-density foam adds an extra inch of height, and will support your body no matter your sleeping position.
It's more expensive on average than a Helix mattress, but the Helix Plus is still a reasonably priced mattress, and it's covered by a 15-year warranty, which means you can trust its durability. We rate it one of the best mattresses for heavy people.
The Helix Midnight Luxe mattress offers everything users love about the Midnight, but with some Luxe upgrades. This includes a quilted pillow top covered with durable and eco-friendly Tencel, which adds an extra two inches in height.
Instead of regular memory foam the Midnight Luxe has a layer of "memory plus foam", which is like a high density memory foam but with the same medium support. On top of all this there's an extra five years of warranty. That makes an impressive 15 years in total.

The Helix Birch mattress is handmade in the USA and is one of the best organic mattresses you can buy. It's also covered by an impressive 25-year warranty (though brands like Nectar and DreamCloud offer lifetime warranties). This organic mattress offers an alternative to polyurethane-based foams and chemicals. It's made of totally natural and ethically-sourced materials.
With a cover of 100% organic cotton and a wool comfort layer, the all-natural materials are a great selling point for the eco-conscious. This mattress doesn't skip out on comfort, though. It also offers natural support and breathable birch wool for temperature regulation.

Think the Helix Midnight, only softer. The Helix Sunset is a plush mattress that promises marshmallow softness but with the same support for side sleepers and those who toss and turn.
Edge support is a major concern for many soft mattresses, but the Helix Sunset has wrapped coils that create a reinforced edge to keep you centered when you're sleeping. There's also the same ten year warranty and 100-night trial as other Helix mattresses.
We're trying our hardest to avoid Twilight references here... but like a vampire, the Helix Twilight mattress guarantees to always be cool to touch. That's because this mattress also offers a firm feel and solid construction. Unlike softer mattresses, a firm finish is more likely to release body heat through the night. You're not sinking into its foam layer, and so it's not retaining your body heat. It's also suitable for all body types.
A special memory foam comfort layer guarantees a firm layer of support, and another bottom foam layer adds base support and extra durability. The Helix Twilight mattress has individually wrapped coils that limit motion transfer, making this a great choice for couples.
Back and stomach sleepers don't have to be relegated to firmer mattresses – if you like something softer, the Helix Dusk Luxe could be what you're looking for. It's a medium (6) mattress that has just enough pressure relief for front and back sleeping. (Side sleepers may find it lacking, especially along their hips.)
The Dusk Luxe features six layers consisting of wrapped coils (reinforced in the middle for lumbar support), a DuraFoam base, and a trio of foam comfort layers, including Helix's Dynamic Foam, which is a latex-foam hybrid. On top is a breathable Tencel cover, but if you sleep hot it may be wise to upgrade to the GlacioTex Cooling Cover, as this mattress may sleep warm.

Helix mattress prices: how much do they cost?
How much your Helix mattress will cost depends on which tier of luxury you go for. Whichever model you pick, you can expect a Helix mattress sale that knocks at least 20% off MSRP.
The basic Helix mattress collection sits in the mid-range market. Official prices start at $936 for a twin and go up to $1,749. There's never less than 20% off.
For anyone looking for more back support and all-over body comfort, the Helix Luxe range is priced from $1,374 to $2,874, with a queen coming in at $2,374. Again, expect a minimum of 20% off those prices, but regardless of that, it's still in the premium price bracket.
In 2023, Helix added a more luxurious tier of mattresses – the Elite range. At MSRP, prices for these range from $2,286 to $4,124 (again expect 20% or more off).
There’s also the Helix Plus mattress, designed to be one of the best mattresses for heavier bodies. That one costs from $811 to $1,811 at full MSRP.
HELIX MATTRESS SALES FAQ
Do I need a Helix mattress promo code or coupon?
Many of the best Helix mattress deals will be automatically applied on-site, but Helix also occasionally uses promo codes to unlock some of its sale prices. Throughout September, using our exclusive code TOMS27 will net you 27% off, which will override Helix's standard 25% discount.
To find the best price you should always check that you're not missing out on any extra coupons. You can find any Helix promo codes here on this page. Helix runs discounts and promo codes across its entire line of mattresses, including the Luxe range, the Plus range, and the Helix Birch. Because some of the Helix mattresses are already so affordable though, most deals and discounts work incrementally. That means that as you spend more in a Helix sale, you'll also save more.
Can I return a Helix mattress?
Yes, you can return your Helix mattress if it doesn't meet your sleep needs. Helix offers a 100 night sleep trial, so you can return your mattress within that period — but only after sleeping on it for 30 nights, which is the minimum recommended time to adjust to a new bed.
In order to initiate a return within 100 days (but after the 30 day ‘break in’ period), you need to fill out a return request form on the Helix Sleep website. Helix will then arrange collection of your mattress from inside your home, which is a service that Helix provides for free. Your mattress doesn't need to be in its original packaging in order to be eligible for a return. However, you are only able to return two mattresses per household or customer. Where possible, Helix will then donate your unwanted mattress.
