Top complaints
Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress
- Hard to move around on
Tom's Guide says the plush pillow top limited ease of movement for some testers. Sleep Foundation says this could be an issue for combination sleepers and people with mobility problems.
Source: Tom's Guide, Sleep Foundation - Hot sleepers need the cooling upgrade
Tom's Guide rated temperature 4/5 but says very hot sleepers should upgrade to the GlacioTex cool-touch cover or CoolForce layer.
Source: Tom's Guide - Expensive, with some bounce
Tom's Guide calls it 'a bona fide splurge' and the priciest mattress on its list (typically about $1,849-$1,918 for a queen). Motion isolation is mid-pack at 3.5/5, and Tom's Guide lists 'some bounce might be disruptive' as a con.
DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress
- Firmness and support are hit-or-miss
Amazon's summary says firmness and support are mixed, with some finding it softer than expected. Tom's Guide says it's too soft for stomach sleepers, and its reviewer felt hip pressure. Sleep Foundation says it comes in only one firmness that can be too soft for some.
- Edges can sink
Some Amazon owners report no support on the sides and say the sides collapse. Sleep Foundation testers noted sinkage at the edges, though Tom's Guide rated edge support 4/5.
- You'll feel your partner move
Tom's Guide lists 'likely to feel partner's movements' as a con; motion isolation is its weak point at 3.5/5.
