Why shop Texan Mattress
Product details and policies
The Helix Dusk is an 11.5-inch medium-feel hybrid designed primarily for back and stomach sleepers who want support with a small amount of sink. It combines SupremeSupport 2.5 Memory Foam, gel memory foam and responsive foam with up to 1,000 individually wrapped coils and reinforced side edges. The feel is more buoyant and supportive than a plush Helix, but less rigid than the firm Dawn. Choose the breathable Breathe Knit Cover or the optional GlacioTex Cooling Pillow Top. The Dusk is a useful starting point for sleepers who want a balanced surface that makes repositioning easy while still adding cushioning through the comfort layers.
Reviewed by Larry Heilers, owner of Texan Mattress. Last reviewed September 4, 2026. Comfort and firmness are subjective; this information is educational and is not medical advice.
Side sleepers who need deeper shoulder cushioning may prefer the Helix Midnight. Shoppers who want noticeably more pushback should compare the Helix Dawn.
The current Core construction uses memory foam, gel memory foam and responsive foam over wrapped coils, followed by a dense stabilizing base. Helix lists reinforced side edges and up to 1,000 coils depending on size. The optional cooling pillow top changes both temperature response and initial cushioning, so confirm your selected cover before ordering.
The standard Dusk is the streamlined 11.5-inch Core model. The Helix Dusk Luxe adds a taller pillow-top build and zoned support, while the Helix Dusk Elite is the tallest and most layered option. Compare profile height, surface cushioning and current price alongside firmness.
Helix currently calls for a firm, flat support system. If you use slats, they should be sturdy and no more than 3.5 inches apart. The mattress is compatible with an adjustable base when the base and frame provide proper support. Improper support can affect feel and warranty eligibility.
The current Magnolia display list does not identify this exact Core model. Call 832-628-6375 before making a special trip and ask which displayed Helix is the closest comparison. Use the Magnolia Helix showroom guide for the latest confirmed floor models.
