(Image credit: Future)Pressure relief is just one part of the puzzle, though, and in order for a mattress to provide year-round comfort it needs to keep temperatures regulated — even during summer heatwaves. The Luxe scored 4/5 in our temperature regulation tests, during which we used a thermal imaging camera to track how well it dissipates heat. Our tests reflect what I've gathered from sleeping on it for the last two years; it dissipates heat effectively, which means you're unlikely to wake up hot and stuffy. You'll sink slightly into the plush pillow top, but the breathable build and cover prevent any buildup of heat.It's important to note that we have slept on and tested a standard Midnight Luxe, which comes with a breathable Tencel cover as standard. Very hot sleepers — or those who live in warmer parts of the country — have two cooling upgrade option; a GlacioTex cooling cover, and a GlacioTex Cooling cover and a CoolForce cooling layer.

For that money, we would consider checking out our Brooklyn Bedding Thermobalance XL Elite mattress review — it's a new specialist latex cooling mattress that we recommend to those battling chronic night sweats, thanks to its specialist cooling tech, including Phase Change Material (PCM).But if you're looking for an excellent allrounder that will support your side sleeping position and keep your sleep temperature nicely regulated, I rate the standard Helix Midnight Luxe highly. It's crafted with side sleepers in mind, but it's supportive and comfortable for back sleepers, too. Excellent motion isolation means it's also great choice for couples, as you're unlikely to be jolted awake with every toss and turn from your partner. In fact, it's the only mattress and my husband and I have ever agreed on.Smaller budget?
