Nectar is one of the biggest names in online mattresses, and it's sold by Resident, the same company behind DreamCloud. Its pitch is simple: low everyday sale prices, a 365-night trial and a lifetime "Forever Warranty" on both models listed here.
The Nectar Classic Memory Foam is the value flagship. Nectar now labels it Firm, and independent testers rate it about 7.5 out of 10. It's a 12-inch all-foam bed with 1 inch of memory foam, 3 inches of responsive support foam and an 8-inch base, plus a cooling cover. Edge support scores a 5 out of 5 in our review-based ratings, unusual for all-foam, but pressure relief is only 3 out of 5. Expect about $1,615 for a queen at list price, though it's routinely sold for around $699.
The Nectar Premier Hybrid is the side-sleeper upgrade: 2 inches of memory foam and 2 inches of support foam over 8-inch pocketed coils, 13 inches tall, in a medium feel rated about 6.5 out of 10. It isolates motion very well (5 out of 5) and relieves pressure better than the Classic. Expect about $1,799 at list price, often around $1,199.
Who should shop Nectar? Back and stomach sleepers on a budget (Classic), side sleepers and couples who want a contouring hybrid (Premier Hybrid), and anyone who values a long trial. Who should skip it? Light side sleepers looking at the Classic, which is too firm for most, and people who want bounce or natural materials.

Questions about Nectar
Is the Nectar mattress firm or soft?
The Nectar Classic Memory Foam is firm. Nectar labels it Firm and independent testers rate it about 7.5 out of 10, which suits back and stomach sleepers. If you want something softer from Nectar, the Premier Hybrid is a medium (about 6.5 out of 10) with more memory foam and pocketed coils, and it's the better pick for side sleepers.
Nectar Classic vs Premier Hybrid: which should I buy?
Buy the Classic if you sleep on your back or stomach and want the lowest price, often around $699 for a queen. Buy the Premier Hybrid if you sleep on your side, share the bed, or want more cushioning; it's often around $1,199. Both share the same 365-night trial and lifetime Forever Warranty.
Is Nectar's lifetime warranty real?
Nectar calls it the Forever Warranty, and it's a lifetime limited warranty rather than unconditional replacement. Like all mattress warranties, it covers defects such as deep sagging, not changes in comfort. Read the current terms on Nectar's site for details on coverage and any conditions, such as using a supportive base.
