Helped with hip pain. I am less achy because of this mattress. It has a little bounce to it. Which I was surprised because it is firm. But it somehow does not disturb my partner when I get up multiple times throughout the night to go to the restroom or tend to young children. I also like that it is a firm mattress because I believe it will last longer without sagging than a soft mattress would. So I am very pleased with this helix twilight luxe. 
I am using the pillows I got as a gift with purchase. But I ordered king pillows in hopes that it would mean I could go from using two smaller pillows to now just using the one bigger pillow. But I regret that. They are not comfortable because they are too big. I don’t know how people use them.
