Helix negative reviews

Most negative reviews about Helix mattresses were written by customers who chose the wrong model. Some of them had back pain because they chose a too soft or a too firm mattress, and frankly, the only way to avoid such a scenario is to look for your mattress with the right level of firmness considering your sleeping position. Some buyers also noted that it slept too hot and a topper made a little difference. Some also say that a mattress didn’t fit their preferences.

Koala’s wrapping up

To sum up, Helix company definitely stands out. It offers one of the widest ranges of products on the market, and each of their mattresses comes has a luxe version. There are options for strict side sleepers (softer models) and stomach sleepers, nearly all models are pretty bouncy, they are hybrids, which means they are supportive enough, durable enough, and isolate motion pretty well (because mattresses feature individually wrapped coils). There is even the organic Birch mattress which is sold separately but is still designed by Helix. Prices vary, and every customer can choose between a cheaper or a more expensive option, and that is another reason to love Helix mattresses.
