Helix Elite

Helix Elite sits at the top of the Helix range and is the deepest build at 17 inches. Where other tiers use three foam layers, Elite uses five, plus a micro-coil comfort layer above the main zoned coil unit and a two-inch plush pillow top beneath a cool-to-the-touch cover. The extra depth is something you feel in the first few seconds, which is why we keep Elite on the floor in Katy, Richmond and Rosenberg, TX rather than asking you to take it on trust.

One practical note before you commit: at 17 inches, Elite needs deep-pocket sheets. Standard fitted sheets will pull off the corners. Our team can tell you which pocket depth to look for, and we carry sheet sets in store that fit a mattress this tall.

Elite covers the same seven feels as the rest of the range — Moonlight and Sunset plush, Midnight and Dusk medium, Plus medium-firm, Dawn and Twilight firm. So if you already know which Helix model suits how you sleep, Elite is that same model with more underneath it.

Comparing tiers? Helix Luxe is the 14-inch version and Helix Core the 12-inch, and our Helix mattress guide lays out the whole range.
