Comfort
Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights. Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body. Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend.
When it comes to foam, weight means comfort and quality and our mattress is one of the heaviest on the market. Our ultra-dense 4lb memory foam will give you the plushness and pressure relief you've been looking for and keep that feel for 15 years or more. A luxury 4 lb memory foam layer that provides a cooler, more consistent sleep surface every single night - 13x better than conventional memory foam, 16x better than latex.
Support
The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs. Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support. Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support. The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.
Our foam mattress is the perfect hybrid - you'll get the spring and bounce of latex, with the support and pressure relief that memory foam is known for. A premium 1.8 lb high performance foam transition layer that provides the spring and bounce you'd find in a latex or coil bed, while providing unparalleled support, pressure relief and motion isolation. This durable 1.8 lb premium support layer is the foundation to it all. Strength, support and structure of the mattress starts here.
