But when I find the right one, before I plan to spend the rest of eternity in my bed, I'll tell everyone my opinion about it.
I very much value my sleep, and as Business Insider's senior home editor, I've become a sleep expert over the years thanks to my experience with all sorts of sleep products, from bedding to mattresses. However, my history of lower back pain can make me leery about the break-in period that can come with trying a new mattress, making me extremely selective about the models I wind up trying. Even the comfiest hotel beds on vacation can leave me waking up stiff.
Following a two-night stay with a Helix Dusk Luxe hybrid mattress for a press trip, during which I didn't wake up with any aches or pain, I knew I needed to try it for longer to see where it stood among the best mattresses . I tested the Helix Dusk Luxe alongside a number of optional upgrades, namely the GlacioTex Cooling Cover and an ErgoAlign Layer, a segment of ultra-dense foam beneath the midsection that provides additional support and pressure and is recommended to those with a history of lower back pain. After three months with this bed, I'll detail what I loved and who this bed will best suit.
The Helix Luxe Dusk is a high-quality medium-firm mattress ideal for stomach and back sleepers. Check mark icon A check mar.
