(Image credit: Future)The results confirmed what I have writing for years; the Helix Midnight Luxe is the best mattress for side sleepers you can buy. It aced our pressure relief tests, scoring an impressive 4.5/5. That means it delivers the right amount of sink for most people who sleep on their sides, providing body contouring support across the shoulders, hips and knees. Of course, for a mattress to be comfortable all year round, it needs to deliver on all key areas of performance. In terms of cooling prowess, the Midnight Luxe scored 4/5 in our temperature regulation tests, which means it provides adequate temperature regulation for most people. However, hot sleepers have two cooling option upgrades available; a GlacioTex cooling cover, and a GlacioTex Cooling cover and a CoolForce cooling layer.

My husband and I often go to bed at different times and we rarely disturb each other — and that's another big win for our sleep. In short, the Helix Midnight Luxe is an excellent allrounder that delivers on superb comfort and support, resulting in better sleep. What more could you ask for?Bigger budget?
