"My last mattress was the original Casper and it lasted 10 years"

What owners are saying
"Tried Helix (returned) and kept a Tuft and Needle (which was fine for like 2 years before I started waking up achy - which the Avocado replaced)"
"I had to return a Helix Midnight Luxe, and not only did they pick it up, I got 100% back and got to keep my mattress cover and other freebies"
"My personal feeling is Helix spends most of their money on advertising, so I don't know how much is left over for the beds"

"This mattress is super high quality and will easily last 10+ years, a huge upgrade from the nectar bed I was going to get for around the same price"
"My Nectar (~3 years old) has been good but the Purple definitely felt much cooler, and since I sleep hot, that's pretty important"
"I was really worried about this happening again but I ordered a Nectar and have had it for 3 years and it's amazing"
