Helix's 4th of July mattress sale is a dream for luxury mattress lovers, with the ultra-indulgent Helix Midnight Elite now just 30% off at Helix with code ELITE30. It offers 15" of weightless cushioned support that will leave side sleepers reluctant to ever get out of bed.

It's not just the Midnight Elite that's had its price slashed in the Helix sale and we've rounded up the best deals below. Helix makes some of the best mattresses we've tested because the hybrid beds are targeted for different needs, so we've found a pick for every sleep style (based on our expert testing).

And Helix hasn't just indulged in comfort, they've gone all out on discounts in the 4th of July mattress sales — but the deals won't last long. 30% off the Elite Helix mattress collection is a bigger saving than even the Black Friday deals but with the 4th of July weekend upon us, the discounts might not stick around.

A softer alternative to the Midnight Luxe, the Sunset Luxe mattress is for side sleepers who want to sink into their bed. Like the Midnight Luxe, the Sunset Luxe is now $1,874 for a queen (was $2,398) and you get the same benefits (120-night trial and a lifetime warranty) so it's a matter of preference here. If it's all about the softness, go for the Sunset. Want more support for back sleeping? Opt for the Midnight.

Helix 4th of July mattress sale: How to choose the right mattress

Helix makes mattress choosing pretty easy: it has three collections for three price ranges, and within each collection you'll find a bed designed for every sleep style. Simply set your budget then prioritize your needs and preferences.

For side sleepers, we recommend the Helix Midnight line-up. Our favorite is the Midnight Luxe, as it blends comfort and support with a luxury finish but if you want to splurge, upgrade to the Midnight Elite for pure indulgence. The Midnight Core has its benefits, but we think the Luxe is worth the upgrade.

The Midnight is the crowd-please, but side sleepers have some more choice: the Sunset is softer (those with a lighter build will likely prefer this bed) while the Twilight is firmer (for side sleepers who like to lie on top of their mattress).

Back sleepers, consider the Dusk mattress collection. The Dusk is hugely support without being too firm — there's some cushioning here at the shoulders and hips. It can also suit stomach sleepers, although we suspect the Dusk Elite might be too plush for this position.

For stomach sleepers, we recommend the Dawn line-up. Firm and hugely supportive, even the most luxurious Dawn Elite should lift and straighten the spine for stomach sleepers.

Helix 4th of July mattress sales: FAQ

When is the Helix 4th of July mattress sale?

The Helix 4th of July mattress sale is live now, with up to 30% off some of the best hybrid mattresses we've tested.

Helix deals do tend to last longer than other mattress sales, so we predict these savings will stick around for a few days after the 4th of July weekend. However, we expect 30% off the Elite collection to drop to just 20% off when the sale has ended — so shop now to avoid missing out on your saving.

Once the 4th of July Helix sale is over, we predict the next major sales event won't be until Labor Day in September. But in the past, Helix has launched the occasional flash sale to get us through long weeks, so we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for a sale.

Is the Helix 4th of July mattress sale any good?

Yes and no — the Helix 4th of July sale is the best we've seen on some mattresses but not so good on others.

For the Elite mattresses, this is the biggest deal from Helix in an age. 30% off is a step up from the 27% off we saw during Memorial Day and even better than the Black Friday sale in 2025.

For Luxe mattresses, this is decent. Helix often runs 25% off the Luxe beds but we can sometimes nudge that saving upwards with code TOMS27 (knocking off 27%). If you're in no rush to buy and have your eye on a Luxe, you might want to wait and see if 27% off returns. It'll save you a few extra dollars.

For the Core collection, the 4th of July sale is disappointing from Helix. We see 20% off year-round so there's no special discount to be had here. We're hoping for better over Labor Day.
