Material Density matters

Helix Plus uses 3.75 - 4.0 lbs/ft³ (PCF) foam density in transition layers.

Standard mattresses use 1.5 - 1.8 PCF. The higher density in Helix Plus is directly correlated to resisting compression set (permanent sagging) under heavier loads.

Maintains support where others collapse. High-density foams are critical here.

The Warranty Advantage

Helix stands out with a 1.0-inch indentation threshold for warranty claims on the Plus model (typical industry standard is 1.5").

This is a massive consumer advantage. A 1-inch dip affects comfort but isn't a crater. By covering this, Helix demonstrates confidence in their high-density foams.

Pro Tip: 10-15 Year Warranty

While the warranty is long, the most critical feature is the strict 1.0" trigger for replacement.

Projected Sag vs. Threshold

Graph shows that even at Year 5, expected sag (0.75") is still safely under the 1.0" warranty trigger.
