Our favorite mattress for side sleepers is back to it’s epic Memorial Day pricing, with 30% off the Helix Midnight Luxe in the Helix Sleep sale. This massive saving reduces a queen size down to just $1,661.66, for a price that’s even better than Black Friday.

The Helix Midnight Luxe earned itself a spot in our best mattress guide due to its blend of spinal support and cushioned pressure relief. It’s a pricier upgrade from the Helix Midnight mattress, so if you’re a side sleeper on a budget, consider the original model instead – there’s now 25% off the Helix Midnight mattress at Helix Sleep.

The 4th of July mattress sales are only just kicking off, but if this saving is any indication, we can expect some incredible deals. Read on to discover why the Helix Midnight Luxe is my top pick of the early sales…

Is the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress soft?

Helix rates the Midnight Luxe mattress as a 5/10 on the firmness scale, directly in the middle of a super-soft 1/10 and a rock hard 10/10. Our testing panel felt it was closer to a 6/10, offering cloud-like cushioning that’s still supported by a sturdy core.

This medium feel is good for side sleepers who require pressure relief at the shoulder and hips. And thanks to the zoned coils of the Helix Midnight Luxe, this mattress can also support back sleepers who like a softer sink-in feel. However, if you’re after the best mattress for stomach sleepers, consider something firmer. Sleepers with a heavier build might also prefer a bed with less sink than the Midnight Luxe – check out our guide to the best mattresses for heavy people for our favorite options.
