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.

Casper Nova Hybrid

Is the Casper Nova Hybrid mattress good?

Yes, the Casper Nova Hybrid mattress is considered a high-quality product. It boasts a sophisticated construction and a Zoned Support system that caters to a variety of sleeping positions. However, it is a bit on the expensive side, which might not suit all budget ranges.

Does the Casper Nova Hybrid sleep hot?

No, the Casper Nova Hybrid is designed to provide a cooler sleep experience. It incorporates ventilated foam and coils that enhance airflow throughout the mattress. Despite the soft foam on top, it should not retain excessive heat.

Does Casper Nova Hybrid come in a box?

Yes, the Casper Nova Hybrid is a bed-in-a-box mattress, meaning it will be delivered to you compressed and rolled up in a box.
