The Nerd’s Take: The Helix plush mattress topper is made with a thick, fluffy Revoloft Cluster fiberfill that gives you the same feel as a luxury hotel bed. We think stomach sleepers and people with allergies will love it, but anyone seeking pressure relief should opt for memory foam instead.

Feel
You know those overwhelmingly fluffy hotel beds that just beg you to dive right in? The Helix Plush mattress topper is about as close to that as you can get at home. It’s made of densely packed Revoloft Cluster fiberfill that provides a buoyant, cushy feel as well as superior loft and cushioning. And, because the filling is so plush, you’re going to get plenty of air circulation and breathability while you sleep.
The cover is a polyester and viscose blend—60 percent polyester and 40 percent viscose, to be exact—that has an almost silky feel to it. That soft touch is all thanks to the viscose, which is derived from bamboo and has great temperature-regulating properties.
Mattress Nerd Mattress Topper Scores
Every mattress topper we review is rated for the following categories on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best. We test for temperature control, alignment, motion isolation, material quality, care and customer service.
Temperature Control: 4/5
Hot sleepers rejoice! The Helix Plush mattress topper may not be designed with any special cooling technology, but its breathable materials and puffy design certainly help regulate your body temperature while you sleep.
Alignment: 2/5
Since this topper is so puffy, it won’t provide much in terms of spinal alignment. Sleeping on a fluffy bed like this one won’t hurt anything, but you may want to add a memory foam topper instead for more support—especially if you wake up with frequent aches and pains.
Motion Isolation: 1/5
The puffy fibers in the Helix Plush mattress topper will provide next to no motion isolation. Because it’s hard for the internal filling to stay put—though its baffle box stitching technique equally distributes the fibers—you’ll feel movement from your partner on the other side.
Quality of Materials: 5/5
The Helix Plush mattress topper is made with quality materials that are built to last. The Revoloft Cluster fiberfill is resilient and won’t flatten over time, and the polyester-viscose cover is durable enough to keep it looking great for years down the road. Plus, all the materials are hypoallergenic.
Care: 5/5
No one wants to spend hours scrubbing and laundering their mattress topper—luckily, you don’t have to with the Helix Plush. Simply through it in your washing machine and run it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. You can even dry it in the dryer on low heat.
Customer Experience: 5/5
You’ll find no buyer’s remorse here. Between the free shipping, 100-night sleep trial, and 1-year warranty, Helix really goes the extra mile for their customers. Plus, their customer service team is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your purchase.
Total Score: 3.7/5
Materials and Construction: What’s It Made of?
This puffy mattress topper is made up of three main components: Revoloft Cluster fiberfill, a polyester and bamboo blend cover, and baffle box stitching. The puffy filling is what gives the topper its ultra-plush feel and cushioning. The breathable polyester-bamboo blend cover allows for plenty of air circulation, while the baffle box stitching helps to evenly distribute the fibers so that they don’t shift around too much during the night.
