Side sleepers, are you tired of waking up with aching shoulders and numb hips? Start 2026 on a fresh note with our favorite side-sleeping mattress, the Helix Midnight Luxe, now 27% off at Helix with our exclusive code TOMS27. That brings the price of a queen to $1,751 (was $2,398).

The Helix Midnight Luxe is one of the best mattresses we've tested that you can buy online. I had a chance to try the Midnight Luxe; it has a thick layer of cushioning that immediately contours to the body and holds you in a cozy position. That means limited pressure build-up (so no painful shoulders or dead hips).

The Helix Midnight Luxe is the best mattress for side sleepers we've tested, striking a perfect balance between support and cushioning. It has a thick Eurotop comfort layer to provide immediate cushioning, while the zoned spring base adds extra support where your body needs it most. As a result, you feel cradled from head to toe. Our back sleeping testers were also full of praise during our Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress review, and with good motion isolation, it's a strong choice for couples. Use code TOMS27 to save 27% in the Helix mattress sale and drop the price of a queen to $1,751 (was $2,398). That equals the biggest saving I've seen this year.

On a tighter budget? Try this...

The original Helix Midnight mattress isn't quite as luxurious as the Luxe, and without the super plush comfort layer, it doesn't have the same exceptional cushioning as its more expensive sibling. However, this is still one of the best hybrid mattresses you can buy, with plenty of features our side sleeping testers loved during our Helix Midnight Mattress review. And it's much cheaper than the Luxe, with a queen now down from $1,332 to $972 when you use code TOMS27. You won't see a bigger saving any time soon — and like the Luxe, the Midnight comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty.
