Helix Mattresses
Helix pioneered the concept of the personalized mattress when it launched from the Columbia Business School startup competition in 2015. The brand's quiz-to-mattress algorithm maps a buyer's weight, sleep position, firmness preference, and temperature sensitivity to one of six hybrid models — from the ultra-soft Dusk to the extra-firm Plus. Helix's lineup also includes the performance-oriented Luxe series with more foam layers and zoned support, plus the Birch natural line and the GlacioTex™ cooling cover option. The approach has resonated strongly with couples who have different sleep needs but share one bed.
