Center sinkage (15lb weight): 2 in · Edge sinkage (weighted): 2.2 in · King mattress weight: 100-110 lbs · Full expansion time: 45 min
The mattress molds around your hips and shoulders in a dreamily comfortable and soothing way, providing deep pressure relief.
we found the Midnight dampened movements very effectively
One of the only areas where we felt the Helix Midnight fell down a little was on the edge support.
Center sinkage (55lb kettlebell): just over 3 in · Queen mattress weight: 100 lbs · Shipping box dimensions: 46 x 17 x 17 in
Within just a few days, I experienced noticeable relief for aches and pains along my neck and shoulders
I placed a 55-pound kettlebell at the center of the mattress. The level of sinkage clocked in at just over 3 inches.
the most common complaint about the Helix Midnight is that it's too soft for some people's preferences, and it lacks adequate support that stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers require.
