FAQs
Helix Dusk
Do your mattresses offer different levels of support?
Any strong and solid base is suitable, including adjustable bases. Avoid slatted foundations with gaps of more than 3" and box springs with actual springs. While a slatted base can improve breathability, it's not required as the latex foam in the mattress is naturally breathable. A slatted base can help prevent mold on the mattress cover in high-humidity environments.
What is the lifespan of the Helix Dusk mattress?
The Helix Dusk mattress is designed to last between seven to ten years, with a warranty protecting against premature sagging and manufacturing defects for ten years after purchase. The Helix Dusk Luxe variant offers an extended warranty of 15 years.
Is the Helix Dusk a soft mattress?
The Helix Dusk is not considered distinctly soft. It is a medium-firm mattress with two foam layers providing cushioning, but overall, it has a balanced feel rather than a plush one.
Beautyrest Black
Can you flip a Beautyrest black?
Flipping a Beautyrest mattress is not recommended. Its advanced design means that sleeping on the wrong side would provide less support.
Is Beautyrest Black a firm mattress?
The Beautyrest Black mattress has three layers of polyfoam on top of a layer of gel-infused memory foam, resulting in a medium firmness, or a 6 on the firmness scale. It is easy to move around on this mattress.
Is Beautyrest black good for heavy people?
Firm models of the Beautyrest mattress, falling around a 6-7 on the firmness scale, are best suited for heavier combination sleepers over 230 pounds, as well as back and stomach sleepers.
