GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Helix Kids - Soft Side (Ages 3-7)

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the Helix Kids - Soft Side (Ages 3-7) the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • Would lean toward a mattress with child-specific features
  • Want a mattress with a medium amount of softness
  • Are mainly a back sleeper
  • Often sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is very good)
  • Prefer a mattress with very little 'memory feel'
  • Want to be able to adjust the comfort level of your mattress in the future if needed
  • Like just enough bounce that your mattress doesn't feel completely 'dead'
  • Enjoy a happy medium between sleeping 'on' your mattress versus 'in' it
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • Weigh 225 lb or more, especially if you sleep on your stomach
  • Have a strong tendency to sleep hot (temperature regulation is pretty good, but not the best)
  • Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still OK in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)
Sounds good so far? Get the full details.

Additional Information

General Description

Kids Mattress Benefits

2-Sided Design for Growing Kids

  • 8" hybrid mattress with 6" innersprings and custom foam layers to provide the right safety, comfort, support, and durability for growing kids with changing needs and preferences.

Firmer Side

  • The firmer side is great for younger kids (suggested for 3-7 year olds) when they need additional support to aid proper development of their growing bodies.

Softer Side

  • As kids get older, they tend to favor mattresses with more of a comforting feel, which is why we created a softer side for older kids (suggested for 8-12) that still provides excellent support.

Sleep Safely

  • To ensure your kid won’t be exposed to dangerous chemicals, this mattress was tested for lead and phthalate and all foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, which guarantees they were made without harmful chemicals.

 

Soft Side Layers

Cover

  • Antimicrobial, Water-Repellent Design. Made with soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable TENCEL and treated with a water-repellent finish and a hygienic microbe shield.

Fire Retardant

  • Protection From Flammability. Both sides of this mattress, as well as the side panels, are safeguarded from flammability.

Softer Comfort Layer (Ages 8-12)
