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.

GhostBed

Is GhostBed too firm?

GhostBed may be too firm for side sleepers as it can cause pressure at the shoulder and hip. However, it provides the necessary support for stomach sleepers.

How do I make my GhostBed softer?

To make your GhostBed softer, you can use a good pillow or a mattress topper. The topper can be placed directly on top of your current mattress to enhance comfort.

Are ghost beds good for back pain?

Yes, GhostBed is good for back pain. The GhostBed Classic, which offers a balanced blend of contouring memory foam and supportive latex, is particularly recommended for those who prefer a firmer feel.
