Which is better for side sleepers?

Both are pillow-top hybrids that cushion shoulders and hips. The DreamCloud adds gel memory foam for more pressure relief, which many side sleepers prefer.

The DreamCloud, because of its gel memory foam and cooling cover. The Helix Midnight Luxe has no gel layer and its pillow top can trap heat.

Is the DreamCloud worth the extra at its high price?

No. At $2,649 it costs more than double the Helix. Only buy it near its $1,199 low, where the two are priced the same.

Both use innerspring cores with pillow tops, which tend to soften over time. The Helix has a much larger track record of 11,000 ratings, so its durability is better documented.

Which has more sizes?

The DreamCloud offers Twin, which the Helix does not. Both come in Queen, King, Full, California King and Twin XL.
