2. Setup Instructions

Your Helix Dawn Luxe Mattress is delivered compressed and rolled in a box for convenient shipping. Follow these steps for proper setup:

  1. Unpack the Box: Carefully remove the rolled mattress from its shipping box.
  2. Position the Mattress: Place the rolled mattress on your desired bed frame or foundation. Ensure the foundation is sturdy and provides adequate support for a hybrid mattress.
  3. Remove Outer Plastic: Cut and remove the outer plastic wrapping. Be careful not to cut the mattress fabric.
  4. Unroll the Mattress: Unroll the compressed mattress onto the foundation.
  5. Remove Inner Plastic: Carefully cut and remove the inner plastic layer. The mattress will begin to expand immediately.
  6. Allow for Expansion: Allow the mattress to fully expand for 24-72 hours. While it will be ready for use within a few hours, full expansion ensures optimal comfort and support. Some off-gassing odor may be present initially; this is normal and will dissipate.

3. Proper Usage

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Helix Dawn Luxe Mattress, consider the following usage guidelines:

  • Recommended Foundations: Use your Helix mattress on a solid, flat surface such as a platform bed, slatted bed frame (with slats no more than 5 inches apart), or a box spring in good condition. Using an improper foundation may void your warranty.
  • Sleeping Positions: The Dawn Luxe model is designed with a firm feel, making it ideal for back and stomach sleepers who require robust support to maintain spinal alignment.
  • Edge Support: The mattress features full perimeter edge support, allowing you to comfortably sit or sleep near the edges without feeling like you will roll off.
  • Cooling Technology: If your mattress includes the GlacioTex Cooling cover, it is designed to help regulate temperature and provide a cooler sleep surface.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the quality and longevity of your mattress:

  • Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, spot clean immediately using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Blot the area gently and allow it to air dry completely before covering.
  • Do Not Machine Wash: The mattress cover is not removable or machine washable.
  • Protect Your Mattress: We recommend using a mattress protector to guard against spills, stains, and allergens.
  • Rotation: Rotate your mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months to promote even wear and extend its lifespan. This is especially important during the first year of use.
  • Avoid Jumping: Do not jump on the mattress, as this can damage the internal components and void the warranty.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Helix Dawn Luxe Mattress, refer to the common concerns below:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Initial Odor (Off-gassing)New mattress materials releasing harmless volatile organic compounds (VOCs).Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-72 hours. The odor will dissipate naturally.
Mattress Not Fully ExpandingInsufficient time for expansion after unboxing.Ensure the mattress has had 72 hours to fully expand. Temperature can affect expansion time; warmer rooms may speed up the process.
Perceived Firmness DifferenceAdjustment period to a new mattress; personal preference.It can take up to 30 days for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Utilize the 100-night sleep trial to determine if the firmness is right for you.
Squeaking NoisesOften due to the bed frame or foundation, not the mattress itself.Check your bed frame and foundation for loose connections or worn parts. Ensure all bolts are tightened.

If these solutions do not resolve your issue, please contact Helix customer support for further assistance.
