Helix Dawn
GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Helix Dawn
Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
BEST if you
- Want a very firm mattress
- Are mainly a stomach sleeper (though this mattress can also be very good for back sleepers)
- Have a clear preference for sleeping 'on' your mattress rather than 'in' it
- Often sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is very good)
- Want a mattress that helps you stay cool while you sleep
- Would like a mattress that performs very well when used with an adjustable base
- Prefer a below average amount of 'memory feel'
NOT IDEAL if you
- Are a side sleeper, especially if you weigh less than 150 lb
- Don't like much bounce in your mattress
- Can be easily disturbed by other movements in the bed (though motion isolation is still pretty good)
- Prefer some softness in your mattress
- Are allergic to latex
- Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still OK in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)

Mattress matching is highly personal. This is why GoodBed refuses to publish bogus "best mattress" lists and instead created an advanced mattress matching tool called the GoodBed Quiz. This quiz can assess your requirements in just a few minutes, and then calculate your personal Match Score for the Helix Dawn mattress, along with any of the other 800+ mattresses that we've evaluated.
To see your Match Score for the Helix Dawn, simply use this link to take the GoodBed Quiz. Your Match Score for this mattress will be shown at the top of your quiz results, and will include a detailed explanation of how it matches up with your personal mattress requirements. Each Match Score is based on over 50 different Mattress DNA™ attributes that we measure through our proprietary mattress testing framework.

Yes, the Helix Dawn mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the Dawn to have very good adjustable base compatibility.
