Lab Verdict
Helix Midnight Luxe held heat-neutral better than the Puffy Lux Hybrid (2.4°F surface rise vs. 3.2°F). Motion isolation was roughly equivalent; either is safe for a partnered sleeper. The Helix Midnight Luxe relieved more shoulder pressure for side sleepers (26 mmHg vs. 30 mmHg). Perimeter compression was nearly identical — neither bed is the obvious pick on edge support alone. Combo sleepers will get more rebound from the Puffy Lux Hybrid (39% bounce vs. 28%).
