People with back pain are switching to Helix mattresses.
You don’t have to wake up with back pain. Here’s how Helix can help.
Too soft sags your lumbar. Too firm bottoms out your hips.
We support the middle, where back pain lives.
Zoned coils support the lower back for all-night relief.
Most mattresses have just one firmness across the whole surface. Our Helix Luxe mattresses have zoned support, with heavier-gauge coils that sit right under the lumbar region to keep your spine in line and prevent sagging. Lighter coils at the shoulders and hips offer contouring support for pressure points.
Relieve discomfort with extra structure under the hips.
If you wake up with tightness in your lower back, it's often because your hips sink into the mattress, pulling your spine out of neutral. Our ErgoAlign Contour Layer is a zoned segment of ultra-dense foam beneath your hips, bottom, and lower back. Extra-firm foam under the hips keeps them aligned, while the top and bottom zones follow the natural contours of the body.
Most of my back-pain patients sleep on a bed that’s too soft. As a chiropractor, I look for mattresses that promote neutral spine alignment and balanced pressure relief. I highly recommend this bed for a supportive sleep option.

We're not alone: each of our mattresses is designed in collaboration with scientists and medical professionals who evaluate them not just for feel, but for long-term comfort and spinal alignment over thousands of nights.
The right Helix Mattress depends on where it hurts.
We offer 20+ mattresses, all designed to support a different way of sleeping. We’ll ask where your pain shows up, whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side, and whether you prefer a soft or firm mattress. Then, we’ll match you to the best mattress for what you’re experiencing, with no more guesswork.
Sleep on it for 120 nights.Send it back if your mornings don’t change.
Backs need time to settle into a new position. We give everyone 120 nights to see if it’s the right match. If you aren’t waking up feeling refreshed, we’ll find you a better option or refund you in full. No return shipping, and we’ll even come remove it from your bedroom, on us.
Good mornings, better backs.
“My back and shoulder pain fully went away.”
The mattress is soft in the way that keeps you from being sore in the morning but firm in terms of its support, making my back and shoulder pain fully go away. I used to wake up sore for weeks simply from sleeping but that no longer happens. I could not be more happy with my new mattress.
“I woke up 8 hours later, pain free.”
The pain was becoming unbearable. My chiropractor asked about my mattress and suggested I try medium firm. It arrived in a few days. I went to bed that first night thinking, how am I going to get this thing back in a box to return it. Then I woke up 8 hours later, pain free.
“A total game-changer for us.”
My husband and I both used to wake up with lower back pain, but ever since switching to the Helix Midnight Luxe, that's completely gone. We're tossing and turning way less, which means deeper, more restful sleep. It strikes the perfect balance between soft and supportive. Worth every penny.
Questions
Q.Is a firm mattress better for back pain?
Not automatically. Too firm spikes pressure at your hips and shoulders, pulling the spine out of neutral, which can create new aches. The right firmness depends on your weight, position, and where the pain lives. We factor all three.
Q.How long until a new mattress helps my back?
Most sleepers feel a real difference within two to three weeks as their body adapts. We give you a full 120 nights before you need to make any decisions to return. If you do choose to return, we'll reimburse and come move it out of your bedroom for free.
Q.Which Helix do you recommend most for back pain?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. It really depends on you, your pain, and how you like to sleep. The Helix Midnight Luxe is the most popular mattress we sell, and it's commonly matched with side sleepers with hip and lumbar pain. The Helix Dusk Luxe is popular with back and stomach sleepers, and the Helix Twilight is popular for firm support.
Q.What if my pain doesn't improve in 120 nights?
Don't worry: we'll work with you to find another mattress of equal or greater value that actually does help you sleep at night, at no cost. If you'd prefer a refund, we'll do that in full and come pick up your mattress from your bedroom for free, without you having to lift a finger.
