The Nectar mattress has been widely popular since its launch in 2017. With thousands of happy customers, that popularity is well deserved, thanks to a devotion to a more affordable mattress with more benefits. The 365-night trial and Forever Warranty provide peace of mind for anyone who worries about making the right choice.

The range is built around three all-foam models that step up in height, cooling and contouring: the Nectar Classic at 12 inches, the Nectar Premier at 13 inches, and the Nectar Ultra at 15 inches. Each one shares Nectar's signature memory-foam feel — the difference is how much cushioning and cooling technology sits above the support core.

Because the three feel meaningfully different despite similar descriptions, this is a range that rewards an in-person comparison. Every Sleep Loft showroom carries all three.

Quality of Materials

Nectar's mattresses use all-foam designs with a traditional memory foam feel. Though the prices are competitive, the foams are selected with a focus on longevity and balanced comfort. With a full year trial period and customer reports of prompt service, Nectar has done a good job standing behind its products. Using CertiPUR-US® certified foams and a focus on value-driven design, these mattresses are rated among the best for the price.

Nectar Classic — 12 inches, medium-firm

The Classic is the brand's flagship all-foam mattress, built around a medium-firm feel that balances cushioning pressure relief with steady, responsive support. Cooling fibers are woven directly into the sleep surface to give the top a cool-to-the-touch feel, while the pressure-relieving memory foam beneath cradles the body and eases tension at the shoulders and hips. Underneath, a dense support-foam base absorbs motion and reinforces the mattress, so movement on one side is far less likely to disturb a partner. The result is a stable, contouring foam feel without the deep, slow sink of older memory foam.

Best for: back and stomach sleepers, and anyone wanting an affordable contouring foam mattress with reliable support.

Nectar Premier — 13 inches, medium-firm with added contour

The Premier is a step up from the Classic, engineered with roughly 60% more cooling fibers and double the pressure-relieving memory foam. That extra comfort foam gives the surface a more cradling, cushioned feel while still delivering the consistent support Nectar is known for. A cool-to-the-touch cover and the upgraded cooling-fiber layer draw heat away from the body, making the Premier a good fit for sleepers who like a contouring memory-foam hug but tend to sleep warm. A reinforced support-foam base isolates motion to keep partner movement from carrying across the bed.

Best for: back and combination sleepers who want more plushness without giving up support.

Nectar Ultra — 15 inches, medium-soft and deep-contouring

The Ultra is the top-tier all-foam mattress in the lineup and delivers Nectar's deepest pressure relief. It packs roughly four times more contouring memory foam than the Classic, so the surface offers a plush, sink-in feel, while a zoned ergonomic support layer reinforces the core to keep the spine aligned. Cooling is a headline feature: the Ultra uses about four times more cooling fibers than the Classic, plus a temperature-regulating phase-change material that actively pulls heat away from the body. Targeted tri-zone support firms up under the back and hips while staying softer at the shoulders, balancing cradling comfort with structure.

Best for: side, back and combination sleepers who want pronounced sink-in comfort with supportive firmness.

Overall Comfort

Nectar's mattresses are well-rounded and offer a nice blend of support and pressure relief. The Nectar Classic is the firmest of the three and is great for back and stomach sleepers alike, or for larger side sleepers on a budget. The Premier and Ultra are progressively softer and more contouring, with a lot to offer side sleepers and anyone looking for something more cooling and pressure relieving.

Firmness

The Nectar Classic has a medium-firm firmness, which is a great blend of firm support and soft pressure point relief. The Nectar Premier adds contour while staying close to medium-firm, and the Nectar Ultra sits medium-soft, offering the most contour for side sleepers, lighter body types and soft mattress lovers. Because the gap between them is a matter of feel rather than spec, lying on all three side by side is the fastest way to tell which is yours.

Back Pain Relief

Based on the firmness, these mattresses should provide relief from back pain caused by sleeping on an older mattress. A significant volume of customer reviewers report feeling superior support and enhanced relaxation in the back with Nectar's mattresses. Specifically, customers are +3.2x* more likely to mention pain relief after sleeping on Nectar versus average comparable mattresses.

Cooling

Thanks to the cooling fibers woven into each sleep surface and the cool-to-the-touch covers, most customers find that these mattresses sleep cool. Nectar reviewers are +2.4x as likely to mention positive cooling than average comparable mattresses. For those who want added contour without sacrificing cooling, the Nectar Premier and especially the Nectar Ultra — with its phase-change material — are the ones to look at.

Who Are Nectar Mattresses Perfect For?

Nectar's generous trial policy and strong reception from customers and reviewers make this brand a must-consider for mattress shoppers. With high value for the price, these mattresses suit both discerning shoppers looking for exceptional comfort and everyday sleepers on a budget.
