Helix Sunset Elite
GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Helix Sunset Elite
Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
BEST if you
- Want a very soft mattress
- Are mainly a side sleeper
- Have a clear preference for being hugged or cradled by your mattress
- Can sometimes be disturbed by other movements in the bed (motion isolation is very good)
- Would like a mattress that performs very well when used with an adjustable base
- Prefer a slightly above average amount of 'memory feel'
NOT IDEAL if you
- Are a stomach sleeper, especially if you weigh more than 250 lb
- Regularly sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is good, but not the best)
- Don't like any bounce in your mattress
- Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still pretty good in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)

Yes, the Helix Sunset Elite 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 Sunset Elite to have very good adjustable base compatibility.

Additional Information
General Description
We're changing the way you think about bed-in-a-box. The Sunset Elite mattress combines 5 carefully chosen comfort layers and 2 separate microcoil comfort layers, resulting in a 16" mattress that exudes luxury from top to bottom. Each Elite mattress ships in two separate boxes.
Cover & Pillow Top - Cutting-Edge Cooling & Cushioning
- This plush, luxurious, quilted foam pillow top features our built-in GlacioTex Elite cooling fabric that dissipates heat, ensuring temperature-regulated, pressure relieving comfort all night long.
Comfort Layer - Copper Gel Memory Foam
- This layer of premium Copper Gel Memory Foam provides a soft, pressure relieving feel that cradles your hips and shoulders in side sleeping positions.
Microcoil Comfort Layer - Individually Wrapped Microcoils
- Steel microcoils sit between two layers of high density foam to cradle your body and ensure premium comfort, targeted pressure relief, and spinal alignment.
Support Layer - Memory Plus Foam
- A dense layer of memory foam offers additional support in the body of the mattress, preventing you from sinking too far into the surface, while still maintaining a soft, push feel.
Microcoil Comfort Layer - Individually Wrapped Microcoils
- This second layer of steel microcoils offers additional durable comfort, with targeted pressure relief at your shoulders and hips.
Support Layer - Memory Plus Foam
- A final high-density foam support layer packs more memory foam into the mattress, maintaining the sturdy, durable feel that will cradle your body for years.
Transition Layer - Helix Responsive Foam
- Arranged just above the support base, this layer of high-grade Helix Responsive Foam ensures the durability and pressure relieving support of our steel coil base.
Support Base - Individually Wrapped Zoned Coils
- An 8" layer of premium steel coils, built with zoned lumbar support and full perimeter reinforcement. This advanced coil base offers sturdy support for sleepers of any size.
Base Layer - DuraDense Foam
- A final layer of dense foam encloses the bottom surface of the mattress, bolstering the steel coil support base and maintaining its structure and luxury feel.

- Length: 10-year warranty.
- Indentation coverage: 1" and deeper.
- Proration: 10 years of full ("non-prorated") replacement coverage.
