Nectar Premier: The Best Value Memory Foam Mattress
Nectar has built its brand on delivering quality memory foam at accessible prices — and the Premier upgrades the original with a thicker comfort layer, phase-change cooling cover, and a firmer edge. The Forever Warranty and 365-night trial are the most generous in the industry.
Construction
5-layer construction: quilted cooling cover with phase-change material → 3-inch adaptive gel memory foam comfort layer → 2-inch dynamic support foam transition layer → 7-inch stabilizing base foam → non-slip cover. Total height: 12 inches. The phase-change material in the cover absorbs body heat and releases it away from the body throughout the night.
Feel and Performance
Medium feel (5/10). Classic memory foam contouring — pressure relief is gradual as the foam warms and conforms. Excellent motion isolation (best-in-class for the price). Pressure relief at the shoulder and hip is excellent for side sleepers. Sleeps noticeably cooler than the standard Nectar thanks to the phase-change cover. Edge support is adequate for an all-foam mattress.
Who It’s Best For
Side sleepers who want pressure relief, couples where motion isolation is a priority, hot sleepers who prefer foam over hybrid (the cooling cover helps), and value-seekers who want the most warranty and trial period coverage available.
