Available options
Firmness, height, and size choices
- Profile
- 11.5 inches
- Available sizes
- Twin; Twin XL; Full; Queen; King; California King; Short Queen; RV King
Current option offered under this mattress name. ErgoAlign is an optional zoned ultra-dense foam layer selected with the mattress, not a loose accessory; it materially changes the finished internal build while retaining the 11.5-inch profile.
- Profile
- 11.5 inches
- Available sizes
- Twin; Twin XL; Full; Queen; King; California King; Short Queen; RV King
Current option offered under this mattress name. Keep the 11.5-inch record, but replace the note claiming the GlacioTex finished height is unpublished. The standard and GlacioTex configurations are now separately evidenced at 11.5 and 12.5 inches.
- Profile
- 12.5 inches
- Available sizes
- Twin; Twin XL; Full; Queen; King; California King; Short Queen; RV King
Current option offered under this mattress name. The official checkout variant publishes a 12.5-inch finished height. Helix says the current GlacioTex option is a 1-inch pillow top sewn into the mattress, so this is physically distinct from the standard 11.5-inch Sunset.
- Profile
- 12.5 inches
- Available sizes
- Twin; Twin XL; Full; Queen; King; California King; Short Queen; RV King
Current option offered under this mattress name. This checkout combination contains both the sewn-in 1-inch GlacioTex pillow top and the material-changing ErgoAlign foam layer; it is distinct from the standard-support 12.5-inch configuration.
Why these options share one page: They are sold under the same marketed mattress name. Firmness, height, and size choices stay together here, and any documented construction differences are explained beside the relevant option. A different marketed mattress name always receives its own page.
