When you buy Helix – you pay for more, you get: a shorter home trial, a shorter warranty and a mattress that was rated lower than Origin’s by Best Mattress Ratings in its 2025 ratings.

Let’s break down the layers and see what’s inside these mattresses—because who doesn’t love a peek under the covers?

Helix Midnight Has Almost 50% Fewer Springs Than Origin!

Helix Midnight mattresses come with only 1000 wrapped coils. But, since more springs1 mean more comfort, Helix has clearly lost the battle here. On the other hand, Origin provides their mattresses with more than 2000 pocket springs. Mattresses with more springs generally contour better to the body – providing better comfort & support. More springs also tends to mean better airflow, leading to a cooler mattress.

Origin Offers A Home Trial that Is 265 Days Longer

Helix midnight is charged up (as we think) at a whopping $999. But what more are they offering in that premium price? Not more, actually less! As compared to Origin’s 365-night trial period, Helix only offers 100 days. Also, as compared to Origin’s lifetime warranty (due to our trust in our mattress quality), Helix only offers a limited warranty with complicated restrictions. Despite Helix’s higher price point, they offer less generous policies. In contrast, Origin is more generous with its policies while charging significantly affordable prices at just $629. Choosing helix means more cost on fewer benefits. Their less generous policies raise concerns about the overall value of Helix mattresses. Hence, Origin comes out as the #1 choice2 of thousands of sleep lovers! 

Helix Charges Extra for a Quilted Pillow Top – But We Don’t!

Everyone loves a soft, cooling quilted top, making it a very popular choice3. It just feels more comfortable. The Origin Adapt Hybrid mattress comes with a quilted pillow top – free of charge.

Helix, on the other hand… charges you hundreds of extra dollars for it – despite it already costing more than an Origin mattress. If you really think paying more money for a mattress will lead to better sleep, please reach out to us – we’ve got some magic beans to sell you!

Helix has so many mattress options, that it makes our head hurt

With Origin you don’t have to go down the rabbit hole or become a sleep expert in 100 days to choose the “perfect mattress” out of all the available options. We just have 2 options, at 2 different pricepoints. Both are tailored with the ideal firmness to suit all sleepers – endorsed by dozens of sleep experts worldwide. And we’ve also won 30+ awards (and – did we mention we were ranked #1 by Best Mattress Ratings in 2024?)

Now Helix on the other hand… not so simple, to put it mildly. For Helix – you can choose between the following mattress options: Moonlight OR the Sunset OR the Dusk OR the Midnight OR the Twilight OR the Dawn. That’s a lot of options – but wait it gets better. For each of the mattresses above you have to choose if you’d like a soft mattress OR a medium one OR firm on. But wait it gets better! You still need to choose if you want the Core collection OR the Luxe collection OR the Elite collection. But yes, you guessed it, that’s still not all – you then need to choose what kind of cover you want for the mattress! They have enough options to make anyone go crazy, I went a little crazy myself typing this out. Should it be so complicated to get high quality sleep? Origin thinks so. Which is why at Origin we pack all of our best features into each carefully-crafted mattress – to make things easy for you. No fear of buying the wrong mattress with the wrong features, then having to return it. With Origin, you get everything you could want in one great mattress.

• Origin Outranks Helix in “USA’s 2025 Best Mattress Ratings” by Bestmattressratings.com
  Origin’s Adapt Hybrid™ ranked #1 in the top-rated mattress list2 by Bestmattressratings.com, while Helix only secured the 7th position. Against all the mattresses, Origin came out victorious while comparing price, comfort, support, and customer service of all the US mattresses. Origin consistently delivers on its promises, providing better sleep at a lower price. 
• More Springs & More Layers Without Spending Extra $$$
  Origin’s 7-Zone DualCoil™ System, features 7 layers of comfort with over 2,040 pocket springs. In contrast, Helix Midnight has only 6 layers with considerably fewer springs (only 1000). Since more springs4 make a mattress better with more comfort and contouring to the body, Origin is leading! The individually pocketed spring layers add to the stability and durability of Origin mattresses that prevent sagginess.   
• Better Value for Money and Generous Policies
  Origin treats their customers like family, offering generous policies, affordable prices, more trust, and definitely the best products. No wonder they earned the #1 rank by BestMattressRatings2. With Origin, you get the best value for money. Every buck you spend gives you comfort and peace. However, neither the policies nor the price of Helix come close to Origin. Hence, Origin takes the trophy!
