Nectar Premier Mattress Review 2024: A Sweaty Sleeper’s Dream

In our testing lab, the Nectar Premier also received high scores for motion isolation. To evaluate this quality, we place a glass of water on one end of the mattress and then roll around on the other side. The more the water moves in the glass (or even spills over, for beds with particularly poor motion isolation), the lower the mattress scores for this category. On the Nectar Premier (unsurprising to me and my undisturbed sleep), the glass of water barely moved. Clearly, that motion-isolating layer is doing its job.

Temperature regulation

One of the first things I noticed when I unboxed this mattress and hauled it onto the platform bed? That it’s cool—cold, even—to the touch. This is key for my aforementioned sweaty sleeping. After snoozing on it, I found that even with a mattress protector and bed sheets, it still stays cool and dynamically responds to my temperature changes throughout the night. Nectar achieves such magic through the toplayer: The Breathable Cooling Cover is made with heat-absorbent polyethylene fibers (and is what I felt during the initial setup).

Backing up my personal experience (reminder: I notably didn’t wake up in a pool of sweat) are some real-deal data points from the testing lab. To see how cooling a bed is, we use a thermal imaging camera to measure a mattress’s temperature before and after lying down on it for five minutes. The Nectar Premier only heated up 6.7 degrees Fahrenheit during this test, which we consider a good result. (For reference, heating up more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit is a bad score.)

Comfort and firmness

I’m a combination sleeper; I start by sleeping on my back and sometimes go side to side, and in the early morning I lie on my stomach. The Nectar Premier is quite comfortable for a combination sleeper—so much so that I press my alarm’s snooze button three times more than I did while sleeping on my last mattress (apologies to my employer).

However, the original Nectar mattress is firmer than the Nectar Premier, which I prefer. The Premier’s softer feel is great for side sleepers, who usually benefit from some extra cushion and give around the hips and shoulders, but for me, I wish it were the same firmness as the original. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though; firmness preference is individualized, so the bed’s plushness might not be a negative thing for you.

Support

I find that this mattress gives the perfect amount of support for what I need. Though I’m young, I’m a fitness instructor, which means I manage muscle soreness and occasional joint pain that mattresses either aggravate further or relieve. The Nectar Premier does the latter thanks to its three core layers: two inches of pressure-relieving foam that contours to your body; three inches of responsive support foam that promotes spinal alignment; and seven inches of foundational foam that helps isolates motion, provide stability to the edge, and give structure to support upper layers. I wake up without back pain, regardless of my sleeping position.

Trial period

Nectar offers a one-year home trial, plus a forever warranty. So if you don’t love the mattress after sleeping on it for a few months, you can get your money back, no sweat (get it?).

Materials

This is a memory foam mattress-in-a-box. You can opt to add springs for a hybrid mattress (an extra $150 for a queen), which can offer more lift and support, durability, and edge support. Based on my needs and desires, I picked the all-foam model, which is crafted with CetiPUR-US certified memory foam.
