Original Helix Syn - K-tab is rubbing against my bed! Help!

Put a pillow under your lower back. 

I have a 5 year old Helix Classic that I cut off the tail to resolve the same problem...works GREAT!

Is there any pleasure benefit to the K tab on the Helix Classic ?  I have one but I haven't noticed anything from it that helps with pleasure.  It does seem to help keeping the aneros straight up though. 

cut off the loopy bit, leaving a couple centimeters so it will still press against your skin for balancing, but not hit the bed. picture attached. I cut mine with scissors and softened the spiky tip with a lighter flame. There is surely a better method, as many here could tell you, but those are the only tools I own, and it worked perfectly for me.

I got out the old Helix Syn just a few days ago but definitely had trouble laying on my back.  Been thinking about modifying it for a while but the new Trident version has some small subtle improvements that make a big difference.  If you're not mechanically minded, you might consider getting the new Trident, that's what I did.

The looped handle is almost purely cosmetic.  I don't even use it to pull the Helix out, since getting used to the Trident.  In fact sometimes that red handle can chafe that part of my body behind my anus.  I know I used to say that the old Syn models weren't completely obsolete but the longer I use the HST the more I rethink that!

I did it with a fine metal saw and sandpaper to smooth the end. Really improved things, I don't think there's any reason I would go back, never had a problem in 10+ years, I did it to all my models except the Progasm.
