I absolutely love this mattress with the free pillows. It’s a perfect combo that maximizes comfort! I had the firmest tempurpedic mattress for 8 years or so but had to sell it due to my move to another state. I thought I would go on the limb and try Helix due to some online research and reviews. I am quite happy with my purchase and my dog loves it as well. My neck and back isn’t sore when I wake up and it’s a great balance of firmness with a bit of cloudy softness. The quality is comparable to tempurpedic but the feeling is different less memory foam sinking and more bouncy supportive. If you like mattresses on the firm side, you will love this model!
