Midnight Luxe vs Aurora Luxe
GlacioTex siblings at different price points
Specification Comparison
Score by Category
How each product performs across our five evaluation criteria.
Cooling Performance
Both use GlacioTex cooling covers, but the Helix achieved a perfect cooling score while the Aurora Luxe scored 9/10. The Aurora adds ThermoPhase PCM foam and copper infusion — more cooling layers, but the Helix's overall package manages heat more effectively over a full night.
Edge Support
A major gap. The Helix's reinforced coil perimeter holds firm when sitting or sleeping near the edge. The Aurora Luxe's edge support is its biggest weakness — noticeable compression that shrinks your usable sleeping surface. Couples sharing a queen will feel this difference.
Motion Isolation
The Helix's denser memory foam absorbs partner movement almost completely. The Aurora Luxe transfers more motion — not enough to wake you, but enough to notice. Another win for the Helix for shared beds.
Value for Money
The Aurora Luxe at ~$1,025 (on sale) costs nearly half the Helix's $1,899. You sacrifice edge support and some motion isolation, but the core cooling performance is close. Budget-conscious buyers get excellent cooling for dramatically less.
Trial & Warranty
The Aurora Luxe offers 120 nights versus the Helix's 100. But the Helix's 15-year warranty far exceeds Brooklyn Bedding's 10-year coverage. Long-term protection favors the Helix; trial length favors the Aurora.
Midnight Luxe Wins
Helix wins on edge support, motion isolation, and warranty; Aurora Luxe wins on value.
Both use GlacioTex cooling technology, but the Helix Midnight Luxe is the more complete mattress — better edge support, superior motion isolation, and a longer warranty. The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is the value play — comparable cooling at nearly half the price. If you can afford the Helix, it's the better bed. If budget is primary, the Aurora Luxe delivers remarkable cooling per dollar.
