Nectar mattresses, reviewed

The volume memory-foam brand. Genuinely good pressure relief for the money, and a year-long trial, but foam is foam and it sleeps warmer than any hybrid we test.

What Nectar is good at

Nectar is the highest-volume mattress brand in the United States and the reason a lot of people think all bed-in-a-box mattresses feel the same. The classic model is a straightforward memory-foam sandwich, and it does what memory foam does: relieves shoulder and hip pressure, sleeps warm, and transmits almost no motion.

The Premier adds a phase-change cover and a thicker comfort layer. It measurably improves the heat problem — a 3.4°F rise across eight hours against 5.1°F for the base model — but it does not solve it. If you sleep hot, a coil mattress will still do better.

The reason Nectar keeps appearing in our budget recommendations is the combination of a 365-night trial and a genuine lifetime warranty at under $1,000 for a Queen.

Strengths

  • Excellent motion isolation — the best numbers we record
  • Strong pressure relief for side sleepers on a budget
  • 365-night trial and lifetime limited warranty
  • Frequently under $1,000 for a Queen

Watch out for

  • Sleeps warm; the phase-change cover reduces but does not fix it
  • Weak edge support — you will feel the perimeter give
  • Heavier sleepers report faster sag than on a hybrid

Nectar Premier

The best motion isolation we have measured, at a price that undercuts every hybrid on this site. The compromises are heat and edge support.
