Hi all,

Just mattress shopping for the wife and I (she's 145 side/back sleeper) I'm a tall 185 pound side sleeper who loves the edge. Was looking at the Helix sleep luxe line and feeling pretty good about it. But then check the FAQ and they charge $250 shipping to Canada (which you know you aren't getting back if the sleep trial doesn't suit), and gotta pay duties at the border (which on a $2k mattress is going to be a pretty penny too and the worst part is that I have no idea how pretty).

Anyways, I'm looking for a Cali King hybrid medium firm that's on the higher quality end of the materials spectrum and would love to hear what you guys would recommend. Literally just bought our daughter a Silk & Snow hybrid that would have probably been good, but they only make a king (I'm quite sick of my feet hitting the footrails on our current queen.) I'd be sorely tempted to try the purple mattress 3, but they only sell it white glove so I can't get it in Canada either.

Not too keen to go to the mattress store with the 'Rona, but unless the warranty claim on the Serta we have now miraculously comes through we're going to be in the market. Might have to bite the bullet and make an appointment at the mattress store.

Thanks

Moving to a new apartment soon and figure I could upgrade my bed. Every YouTuber and their mom is sponsored by helix so I figured I’d give it a shot. I was in the military for a while and suffer from severe lower back pain so I wanted something pretty high quality. But $3k (after discount) for a luxury bed seems like a scam. Has anyone bought their Elite series mattress and can vouch for this, or should I look elsewhere and save my money?

My husband and I are looking into a new mattress and he likes the Helix. Is it a quality mattress? Does it last? Our current mattress was purchased 4 years ago through Marriott (I think the brand is Jamison) and it is totally sagging junk. I want a quality mattress that will last at least 10 years. Thanks!
