DreamCloud, Nectar and more — 5 mattress-in-a-box deals still live and worth shopping in last chance Memorial Day sales
The best mattresses in a box are so comfortable, you'd be inclined to forget that it was once rolled, vacuum-sealed, and boxed. I would know — my fellow testers and I have tried nearly 100 mattresses. And we're seeing big discounts that are still live on our favorite brands, like a queen-size Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress for $1,732 after code TOMS27. It also comes with a free set of sheets and a mattress protector. Below are five beds in a box that I recommend you check out that are still on sale for Memorial Day, with deals from just $179 for a queen. If these beds look familiar, it's likely because you've seen them in our guide to the best mattresses of 2025, as well. My picks span a variety of price points and materials so whether you want a cheap memory foam mattress or a pricier specialist hybrid, you'll find it here. You can also browse our Memorial Day mattress sales hub for great deals that are still live. 1. DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress (queen): $649 at DreamCloudYes, this is the standard price from the DreamCloud mattress sale that runs throughout the year, but we here at Tom's Guide agree this is the best hybrid mattress for value. It's still much less than Saatva's entry-level models (generally considered the best mattress brand), and DreamCloud provides a one-year trial and a lifetime warranty, too. We rate it highly for side and back sleepers who want an excellent combination of support and pressure relief — and as we found out in our DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress review, it's quite breathable and isolates movement well, too. Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (9,100+ reviews) 2. Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress (queen): $949 at NectarAgain, this Nectar mattress deal isn't different from what we normally see, but it's still an incredible price on what our sleep team calls the best memory foam mattress overall. The Nectar Premier boasts more pressure relief and better temperature regulation than the Nectar Classic, with an extra layer of memory foam and an upgraded cooling cover. It's a great way to bring home Tempur-Pedic-style comfort without breaking the bank, especially when you consider the one-year sleep trial and lifetime warranty that are included. Read our Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress review to find out why it's among our favorites we've tested. Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (6,200+ reviews) 3. Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress (queen): was from $2,427 now from $1,578 + 2 free pillows at BearOur top-rated cooling mattress overall, the Bear Elite can be tailored to your comfort level — choose from soft, medium, or firm. We tested the medium in our Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress review and combined with the dedicated lumbar support, we were comfortable in any position. It comes standard with a quilted cover made from phase-change materials, but our testers strongly recommend upgrading to the Celliant cover for best-in-class temperature regulation. We normally see a 30% off mattress sale but for Memorial Day, Bear is cutting 35% off and including a pair of free pillows. It's among the best Bear mattress sales we've seen. You can also expect a 120-night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty and free shipping and returns. Our review: ★★★★1/2User score: ★★★★1/2 (3,900+ reviews) 4. Siena 8' Memory Foam Mattress (queen): was $279 now $179 at AmazonYes, that's correct — Amazon has the queen-size Siena Memory Foam Mattress for less than $200. It'd be a great pick up for a dorm, guest room, or a kid's bed. This is a slightly thinner version of the Siena 10" Memory Foam Mattress we reviewed, that's earned a spot on our best budget mattress list. With a less thick profile, expect an even firmer feel than the flagship Siena model we tested. It comes with a 10-year warranty, and Prime members qualify for free 2-day shipping. However, take note of Amazon's return policy, as it'll differ from Siena's. Our review (Siena 10"): ★★★★User score: ★★★★1/2 (500+ reviews) 5. Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress (queen): was $2,373.33 now $1,732.54 at Helix with code TOMS27 at HelixWe've dubbed this the best mattress for side sleepers hands-down — and the back sleepers should like it, too. The top layers, including a plush pillow top, help ease pressure points at the hips and shoulders, while the coils and dedicated lumbar support keep everything aligned. Upgrades are available for cooling and lower back pain relief. Learn more in our Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress review. Not only will you get 27% off in the Helix Memorial Day mattress sale with our exclusive code, you'll also get a free sheet set, along with a 100-night trial and a lifetime warranty.

Fox News and its syndication partners may earn a commission if you buy through our referral links. This content was created by a team that works independently from the Fox newsroom. As temperatures rise and nights get warmer, you want your bed to be the cooling retreat you need. Hot sleepers often struggle to maintain a comfortable body temperature while they sleep, leading to long restless nights. When you choose the right mattress, you can finally get the rest you deserve. A good cooling mattress is characterized by its ability to regulate temperature and wick away moisture, creating a comfortable sleeping environment. These mattresses often incorporate advanced materials and technologies, such as gel-infused foams, breathable latex or specialized cooling fabrics that all combine to give you a mattress that won't trap heat. Beyond materials, the construction of a cooling mattress plays a crucial role in its effectiveness. Mattresses with ventilated designs create better air circulation, preventing heat from getting trapped. Here are nine mattresses and one mattress topper that are designed to provide you a cooling paradise. Original price: $1,219.99 The Beauty Sleep Midnight Dream mattress is a dream for anyone who wants a super-soft mattress. You do get plenty of support thanks to the pocket coils, but the soft pillow top makes for a comfortable night of sleep. Read On The Fox News App There are cooling properties that help with temperature regulation. The AirCool foam allows for a cooler sleep and the AllCool gel foam adds another layer of cooling and breathability. Original price: $3,999 The Beautyrest black pillow top mattress is a luxurious mattress that's supportive yet soft. There are layers and layers of different foams that add to the softness. The triple-stranded pocketed coils provide plenty of support, while the many memory foam layers conform to your body and relieve pressure on your joints. Many of the gel foam layers are also designed to be cooling. They promote airflow and trap heat to keep your bed cool all night long. 25 Comfy Mattresses That Can Help You Sleep Better Original price: $1,949 Designed with a quilted cooling cover, the Nectar Premier copper memory foam mattress is great for hot sleepers. The poly-blend cover has heat-conductive copper, making it cool to the touch. The copper regulates heat, dragging it away from you, so you stay cool as you sleep. Nectar's ActiveCool HD technology adapts to your temperature while you're sleeping. Paired with the four-inch gel memory foam that hugs your joints, you'll sleep in a cooling oasis. Original price: $3,145 A Casper Snow Max mattress is one of Casper's most luxurious mattresses. It has pressure-relieving foam combined with supportive springs that provide the best of both mattress types. The memory foam hugs your body and reduces motion as you shift throughout the night. The Snow Max technology is built into the entire mattress, helping to prevent overheating as you sleep. Designed with hot sleepers in mind, you won't be disappointed by the cooling touch of the Snow Max. Original price: $1,000 Organic mattresses are extremely popular because they deliver a healthier night's sleep. The S&S organic mattress is made with organic materials and is non-toxic and completely chemical-free. The latex foam and pocket coils combine to create a naturally cooling mattress that's also breathable, helping alleviate night sweats. The foam layers have a responsive feel, but won't sink like traditional memory foam. One of Nectar's most luxurious mattresses is the Nectar Luxe hybrid mattress. The top cover is packed full of cooling fibers you'll feel as soon as you lay down on the mattress. An eight-inch core filled with coils also promotes airflow, adding to the cooling factor. There are four additional layers of memory foam that give you a soft feel that helps lull you to sleep. Sleepers who share a bed with their partner will also appreciate the foam layers that help reduce motion transfer. The not-too-firm and not-too-soft bed will have you finally sleeping through the night.

Sustainable Sleep Items That Will Help You Sleep Through The Night Purple's Rejuvenate mattress features the famous two-inch GelFlex grid that helps with spinal alignment, no matter what sleeping position you're in. Underneath the grid is a system of coils that provide much-needed support. The grid system also allows for airflow and temperature control. Plus, the DreamLayer technology also helps better regulate your temperature and provides a soothing surface to lay on. Original price: $2,127 The Nolah Evolution is a side sleepers dream mattress.

Nectar Mattresses Start at $349 For This Memorial Day Sale
Memorial Day is around the corner and many of the sales are already live. This is one of the best opportunities to take advantage of Nectar's Memorial Day deals with some of its heavy discounts on top mattresses. You can currently save up to 40% off all Nectar mattresses if you're a new customer and up to 66% on bundles. Memorial Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a new mattress, so take advantage of this extended deal before it's gone. Nectar has memory foam and hybrid options for its three main mattresses: the Nectar Mattress, Nectar Premier and Nectar Premier Copper. The most popular model, the Nectar Premier Memory Foam, is 13 inches thick and made with a layer of gel memory foam, a transitional foam layer and a stable foam base layer. The cover is breathable, and I find the bed to be slightly more temperature-neutral than most memory foam beds. The Nectar Premier Memory Foam has amazing motion isolation, so if you sleep with a partner, you shouldn't be disturbed by their movement. In terms of firmness, this mattress is around a medium to a medium-firm, or a 6.5 out of 10. While I wouldn't recommend it to petite, strict side sleepers who don't like dense foam, it should please true memory foam lovers who don't want to splurge on Tempur-Pedic. Nectar's Memorial Day sale also brings its flagship bed, the Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, down to $649 for a queen size. This mattress is similar to the Nectar Premier Memory Foam in that it also has a layer of gel memory foam, a transitional foam layer and a stable foam base layer. But its gel memory foam is thinner and doesn't have the same cooling properties as the Premier. If you aren't certain that Nectar is the mattress for you, no worries. Nectar has a 365-night trial, a forever warranty and free shipping and returns. In-stock mattresses should ship in one to two business days. My Slumber Yard Nectar Premier mattress sale pricing

Save Up To 60% With The Best Mattress Sales From Helix, Nectar And More
Buying a new bed is a big investment, so our deals editors scoped out the best mattress sales to help you save. We track mattress prices all year long, and right now, you'll find plenty of top beds that have been heavily discounted for spring. Some of the best discounts we found include up to 60% off beds from popular brands like DreamCloud and Nectar, including our favorite memory foam mattress, the Nectar Premier. Better yet, many of this week's best sales include deals on sleep editor-approved beds featured in our mattress shopping guides. Whether you're on the hunt for the perfect mattress for side sleepers or a mattress for chronic back pain, we rounded up picks for a variety of sleep needs. If your bedding has also seen better days, tons of bedding retailers are also hosting sales too—like Brooklinen, where you can save 25% sitewide. Below, we've outlined all of the best deals to help you upgrade your sleep setup. After testing dozens of beds, our sleep editors (who also happen to be certified sleep science coaches) named 12 models the best mattresses of 2025. And many of their picks are currently on sale—as well as options from some of our other shopping guides. Here are some of the best options at a glance. Mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon found this newly updated mattress to be 'soft and marshmallowy, and a bit more responsive to pressure than the previous Nectar Premier model.' It also offers excellent motion isolation and a lifetime warranty. If you're looking for an affordable memory foam design, we think it's a great option, especially at this price. More Deal Information: Although this discounted price has remained steady, Nectar increased the original price of this mattress—making the overall percentage off look higher. Our sleep editors were impressed by the WinkBed's plush Euro pillow top and its ability to deliver pressure relief without making you feel like you're sinking. It comes in three firmness levels (our sleep editors recommend side sleepers opt for the medium or soft models), offers excellent motion isolation and doesn't sleep quite as warm as the average memory foam mattress. More Deal Information: This is a standard discount offered by WinkBeds. Score a highly rated, pressure-relieving mattress for $699 with this Cocoon sale. 'The Cocoon Chill provides all the features people love about memory foam, from its pressure-relieving feel to its motion isolating abilities, without retaining heat,' says Dillon. We recommend the hybrid iteration for sleepers around 230 pounds or more, but keep in mind that it is slightly more expensive than the classic memory foam option above. More Deal Information: This discount price has remained steady for a few months now. For those looking for something supportive and firm, our sleep editors recommend this Plank mattress. Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman says it's the firmest bed she's tested and that it 'offers exceptional back support and promotes neutral spinal alignment.' It's also flippable with two firmness levels and one of few beds endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association. More Deal Information: This matches the deal we saw on this bed last month. If you're seeking a comfortable and budget-friendly design, our sleep editors recommend the Bear Original. Our testers thought it did a great job isolating motion and that the bed fell around the medium-firm range on the mattress scale, which typically best accommodates back and stomach sleepers as well as some combination sleepers. More Deal Information: This price has remained steady since mid-March, but is slightly more than the price we saw earlier this year when Bear offered a 40% discount. Side sleepers on the hunt for a good memory foam mattress should consider this Layla model. It offers a flippable design, so you can try out different firmness levels, and is made of copper-infused foam to help regulate temperature throughout the night. That said, it's worth noting that our testers said they 'wouldn't consider it actively cooling.' More Deal Information: This deal matches the one Layla offered in February and March. The Helix Midnight Luxe is at the top of our list for the best mattresses of 2025. Our sleep editors say that it's great for side and combination sleepers who prefer a bed with a medium feel. 'If you're against memory foam mattresses but want a more plush feel, I think the Helix Midnight Luxe will be especially appealing for you,' Dillon explains. More Deal Information: This mattress was just on sale for 25% off last week—and will likely be discounted by at least 25% for Memorial Day if you're willing to wait a couple of weeks. If you suffer from joint or back pain, this DreamCloud mattress is an excellent option. It's firm enough to offer plenty of support but has a plush top for a little extra comfort. 'I think the Premier Rest hits that sweet spot of not being too soft nor too firm. It has a very luxurious, plush feel that's slightly softer than the other two DreamCloud models,' says Chapman. More Deal Information: This price is $100 lower than the one offered in March. This hybrid model from Brooklyn Bedding delivers excellent temperature regulation and accommodates just about any sleeping style. It's available in three firmness levels, isolated movement well and, according to our tester, 'has a true cool-to-the-touch sensation that many brands advertise but don't deliver on.' More Deal Information: This is a standard offer on this bed from Brooklyn Bedding. While the average mattress supports up to 200 to 250 pounds per side, the Helix Plus can hold up to 500 pounds per side (1,000 pounds total). It has a medium-firm construction, but executive strategy editor Lindsay Boyers says, 'it felt plusher than most bed-in-a-box mattresses I've tried.' More Deal Information: This bed was recently on sale for 25% off, so consider waiting until Memorial Day weekend if you want to pick it up for a slightly lower price. My personal mattress, the Saatva Classic employs both a classic innerspring design with a luxe European-style pillow top. It comes in three firmness levels and includes a generous warranty period and free white glove delivery—a major bonus for anyone who's ever struggled with what to do with their old mattress. More Deal Information: This Saatva bed is often on sale for this price. Side sleepers typically need a mattress that cushions their hips and shoulders. During our sleep team's testing, this model proved to have superior cushion and pressure relief for side sleepers of various body sizes. 'It's difficult to find a mattress that doesn't cause at least some discomfort around my shoulder after lying on it for a while, but I haven't felt that at all with this one.' says Chapman, who tested the plush Nolah Evolution 15 Mattress in her home for over a month. More Deal Information: Nolah frequently offers 35% off its mattresses, so you may want to hold out for a bigger sale. The brand also increased the original price of this bed recently. According to Dillon, the Birch Natural Mattress 'delivers a true latex foam feel that makes you feel lifted and supported with just enough cushion from the wool batting to provide ample comfort and pressure relief.' It's especially nice for combination sleepers who need a versatile medium-firm feel to accommodate their changing sleeping positions. More Deal Information: This discount matches the deal we saw in March. Pressure relief is one of the most important features a side sleeper should seek from their mattress to help minimize stress on the hips and shoulders. Updates writer Alex Garret says, 'Amerisleep Organica is the most ideal organic option for avid side sleepers because it combines coils with wool and Talalay latex comfort layers to provide more pressure relief than you'd expect from a latex hybrid bed.' More Deal Information: Amerisleep regularly offers $500 off its beds, so this exclusive reader discount is a nice chance to save a little extra. If you have a lot of joint or back pain, we recommend the Nolah Natural mattress as it's a bit softer than your average latex foam design. 'The Nolah Natural reminds me of one of my favorite beds that no longer exists," says Dillon. 'It offers a bouncy, supportive latex foam feel with more pressure relief and cushion than other models I've tested—almost like it's a blend of memory foam and latex foam.' More Deal Details: Nolah periodically offers 35% discounts, so it may be worth waiting for a major sale to get the extra savings. This PlushBeds design is perfect for sleepers seeking a little extra luxury. Chapman, who tested the medium model of the Botanical Bliss, says, 'It felt a little firmer at first, but as I settled into the bed, the layers cradled my joints—this mix of support and pressure relief felt especially comfortable back sleeping." More Deal Details: PlushBeds doesn't run sitewide promotions as often as some mattress brands. However, it increased the original price of this bed in March, making this deal appear slighty larger than it really is. Shopping for a new mattress can feel overwhelming—it's a large purchase and an item that you'll ideally use nightly for years to come. There are a few important factors to consider that can help you find the perfect fit. Your sleeping style makes a huge difference in the type of mattress that will work best for you. For instance, side sleepers typically prefer softer models that provide ample pressure relief, while stomach sleepers will benefit from the all-around support of a firmer bed. Mattresses come in a variety of styles, like memory foam and innerspring. Knowing the type of mattress you want can help narrow down your search significantly. As with any major purchase, budget is a major deciding factor. Establish your budget early to help narrow your options and avoid overspending. After all, you won't be resting much easier on your new mattress if you feel like you've spent significantly more than you wanted. Quality bedding is the perfect finishing touch on your new mattress. The start of a new season is also a great time to update your sheets for the weather, swapping out those thicker layers for something a little breezier. Some popular bedding brands are hosting spring events alongside mattress retailers this month; these the best sales we've spotted so far. If you want more in-depth advice, or you're looking to browse mattresses based on a specific concern, check out some of our curated mattress buying guides to learn more about which models might work best for you. If you're determined to get the best deal on a new mattress, we recommend marking your calendar and exercising some patience. Mattresses go on sale throughout the year, but long weekends and shopping holidays are typically when you'll see the best deals. If you're willing to wait, Black Friday and Cyber Monday generally bring the lowest prices of the year—allowing you to save an additional 5 to 10% compared to other holidays. Another way to get a good deal on a new mattress is by shopping previous years' models. Retailers like Tempur-Pedic and MattressFirm allow you to shop discontinued (but still perfectly viable) designs for a lot less than what 2025 beds are going for. On average, foam or hybrid beds are typically more affordable than their innerspring or organic counterparts. Our sleep editors named the hybrid Allswell the best mattress in a box under $500. You can get the queen-size version of this bed for under $300. The design is definitely on the firmer side of the spectrum, but offers a neutral feel and is well-made—especially considering its modest price tag. That said, the best quality affordable mattress ultimately depends on your unique needs and preferences. For instance, although organic mattresses tend to be more expensive, sleepers with bad allergies or who are concerned with sustainability may wish to adjust their budget to accommodate those features. The Eco Terra Hybrid Latex mattress is our pick for the best value organic mattress. It has similar certifications to higher-end organic models, comes in two firmness levels and is available for under $1,000 when it's on sale. Holiday weekends often bring about great mattress sales, so January, February, May, July, August and November are some of the best months to find deals.

The Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Helped Me Get Rid Of My Hip Pain
A good night's sleep can make or break your whole day—and after countless sleepless nights tossing and turning and waking up with hip pain, I knew it was time for a change. The catch? My husband leans on the warm-blooded side, while I cocoon myself in a pile of blankets. To complicate matters further, while my husband usually doesn't budge until morning, I shift throughout the night, starting on my side, then onto my stomach and then onto my back. Finding a mattress that could handle both our sleeping styles felt like a gargantuan task, and the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress promised to be a catch-all for our wildly varying sleep preferences. Promising a medium-firm support, my husband, three cats and I slept on it for over 100 nights to test its comfort, durability, pressure point relief and more. In this Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress review, I detail all my thoughts on the mattress along with who I would (and wouldn't) recommend it to. Forbes Vetted Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence. Type: Hybrid | Nectar's firmness rating: Medium-firm (6.5) | Trial period: 365 nights | Warranty: Lifetime | Height: 13 inches Best for: Skip if: The Nectar Premier comes in both an all-foam and hybrid model. The hybrid build uses a couple of foam layers on top of an innerspring coil layer. In all, you get six layers, including: The mattress arrives compressed in a box at your doorstep. First, plan to unroll it from its packaging and let it poof to its full shape. Keep in mind that Nectar says it can take up to 72 hours for the mattress to completely form and recommends waiting a day or two to sleep on it—so don't panic if it's still a little flat at bedtime. Also, make sure you ventilate the room: The chemical odor was pungent, though it reduced after 72 hours, and it took a few more days for it to completely go away. Nectar rates this mattress as a 6.5 out of 10 firmness, or what's known as medium-firm. I thought it was firmer than that at first and felt more on top of the bed rather than sinking into it. As you continue to sleep on it, though, the mattress gets 'broken in" and you find yourself sinking into it a little bit. It's a balanced firmness that keeps me comfortable as primarily a side and stomach sleeper, while also supporting my husband as a side and back sleeper. You still get a bit of that stuck feeling, though (more on that in a minute). Personally, I'm happy with the firmness level—after all, as I switch from my side to my stomach as the night progresses, the innerspring and memory foam combination provides enough support so I don't feel like my hips are sinking too far into the foam and putting my spine out of alignment. However, I think stomach sleepers who weigh more than I do (I'm 165 pounds) may find their hips dip too far into the mattress for comfort and should look for a firmer option. The Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress was built for a range of sleepers, from side sleepers who are easy to overheat to back sleepers who deal with stiffness—but that doesn't mean it's the right fit for everyone. In order to see where this mattress shines best, I paid special attention to its pressure relief, support and other features I cover in depth below. Because my husband and I have different sleep styles, I also asked him for his feedback, especially since he's a hot sleeper. And, because I'm usually a cold sleeper who shifts throughout the night from my side to my stomach and back again, I considered how sleepers who share my style may benefit from adding this mattress to their bedroom. I usually have a few cats curled up with me throughout the evening, often right smack dab in between my knees. In addition to sleeping on my stomach, I have to account for sleeping in some gymnastics-worthy positions because I simply have to keep my cats happy. And, in addition to considering my cats, my joints regularly experience aches and pains due to my hypermobility. Especially when I slept on my old mattress, I awoke with severe hip pain that would linger through my entire day. The very first night I slept on this mattress, even though it was still softening and expanding, my hip pain vanished. The Premier Hybrid has a set of 2-inch foam layers, called the Pressure-Relief Layer and the Responsive Support Layer. This combination helps support my joints for a comfortable night's sleep. My hips, specifically my right one, is the main offender, and I've noticed that unless I get a bad night's sleep (due to noisy cats, not the mattress), I no longer experience hip pain. To me, that's huge. It's not going to be the catch-all, cure-all for those who experience similar pains, but it definitely helped. My husband also noted that he's been sleeping better, too. The mattress comes with a cooling top layer, called the Cooling Cover, that's designed to help reduce your body's heat footprint as you sleep. The coils in the mattress also allow air to more easily flow through it. During testing, the mattress was somewhat successful with cooling. Both my husband and I felt that it helped to regulate our temps at night. My husband, who overheats easily, especially felt the difference; he felt he slept more comfortably through the evening. It's pretty subtle—it's not going to solve all of your heating issues, especially if you're a super hot sleeper, and I recommend adding cooling sheets and a comforter for hot sleepers to take full advantage of the cooling effect. My husband still gets warm throughout the night, but not to the levels he originally felt, which were pretty sweltering, according to him. On the other hand, I tend to sleep cold and pile on the blankets. For my sleep style, the mattress does a pretty solid job of keeping my temperature regulated throughout the night, especially when our pre-war radiators kick on in the early mornings. Because the queen-size mattress sleeps up to two humans and three cats at a time, it's no surprise that I experience some motion transfer, even though the foam layers, pocketed coils and Base Foundation are designed to minimize it. Most of the time, I don't notice my cats moving around until they begin wrestling right beside me; it's when you sleep beside a human that you feel any motion transfer. Sometimes, I wake up to my husband shifting around on the mattress. It's not the end of the world, but it is noticeable. When I asked my husband about his experience, he reported sleeping soundly without noticing any movement from me or the cats. Even our 17-pound cat lumbering across the bed didn't wake him. So, all this to say: Your mileage may vary, especially depending on your sleep habits. If you're a light sleeper, you may wake up from movement, but compared to our last mattress, motion transfer feels significantly reduced. If you sit on the edge of the bed frequently, the Nectar Premier Hybrid's greatest weakness is that its edge support is far from strong. Every time I sit on the side of the mattress to pet one of my cats, I feel like I sink into the bed. It throws me off. For a mattress that has a supportive center—it feels firm when I lay down or curl up with a book on it—I expected the innerspring coils to work better. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case during testing. And again, unlike the edge support, the center support is solid. My body sinks a bit, but it feels supported and comfortable, whether I sit cross-legged or rest with my legs stretched out. I attribute this to the 8-inch coil layer, which Nectar calls the Hybrid Motion Isolation Layer. I weigh 165 pounds and my husband's around 180 pounds, and we don't feel like we sink into each other like we sometimes experience with our travel air mattress. Nectar says its mattresses can support up to 650 pounds, or 325 pounds per side. If you weigh more than 250 pounds though, we recommend checking out one of the best mattresses for heavy people for better support. When I'm shifting positions, because the mattress does soften over time, I've noticed that I have to put a little effort into moving. Memory foam is notorious for a 'stuck' feeling in the bed. The memory foam in this mattress lives up to that notoriety; there are moments when I have to physically lift myself off the mattress in order to roll onto my opposite side. That said, if you're coming from a traditional, quicksand-like memory foam mattress, it feels so much more supportive and responsive for when you move. Just note you might still have some issues with that 'stuck' feeling here and there. It's also easy to rotate the mattress to help evenly distribute wear. You can't flip it, but you can use grab handles on the side to turn the mattress to help elongate its lifespan. Nectar recommends shifting the mattress every six months. Launched in 2016, Nectar's mission is to make comfortable, affordable mattresses that feature pressure-relieving memory foam to help you sleep better. It's owned by Resident Home which also owns mattress brands DreamCloud, Awara and Siena. While DreamCloud offers mattresses with a luxury feel, Siena is Resident Home's budget-friendly line. Awara focuses on creating sustainable, comfortable mattresses. When you order a mattress, shipping is free. Don't expect white glove delivery—it ships in a box. You must unfurl the mattress yourself. The mattress ships in one to two business days from the purchase date. Nectar offers a 365-night trial period for its mattresses. If you unbox the mattress, you must wait 30 days before you're able to initiate a return (this is to give your body a chance to adjust to the bed). After that, you can return it at any time during that return window. If you decide to return the mattress, shipping is free, and they'll either recycle the mattress or donate it to local resources. Nectar offers a warranty it dubbed the Forever Warranty. Alongside the 365-night trial period, so long as you own it, the company offers a warranty to cover manufacturing defects. For the first ten years of ownership, the brand will replace the mattress with a new one of equal or greater value for free. After ten years, the brand will completely repair and recover your mattress, or potentially replace it depending on the situation. It's important to read through Nectar's warranty policy to make sure you understand it and don't do anything to void it, such as remove the cover. Nectar offers four different mattresses that are all offered in an all-foam or hybrid version and range from soft to medium-firm. If you're seeking a blend of comfort and affordability, we rated the Nectar Classic as the best affordable mattress overall. 'The Nectar used to offer doughy sinkage, but the new Nectar Classic model has a contouring memory foam feel with a little more responsiveness,' says senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman. See more in our full Nectar Mattress review. This is Nectar's softest and most luxurious model. It has a prominent memory foam feel that is especially good for side sleepers seeking comfortable contouring around their should and hip. Back sleepers who like a softer feel should also enjoy this mattress. If you're a side or back sleeper, the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress is a great choice to help relieve joint pain and provide support, and you should love the medium-firm yet plush feel when crawling under the covers at night. Though some stomach sleepers who weigh around 165 pounds or less (like me) may be comfortable, others who sleep in this position may find that the memory foam allows their hips to sink too far into the bed, and they'd do better with a firmer option in order to promote healthy sleep posture. This is also a great mattress for couples who don't want to feel their spouse tossing and turning throughout the night. Motion transfer is pretty minimal, and the cooling features help with temperature regulation for hot sleepers. However, it's worth noting the Premier Hybrid doesn't have the strongest edge support, so keep that in mind if you like to sit on the sides of the bed or need them for stability. I slept on the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress for over 100 nights to get a sense of how its memory foam and pocketed coils felt in different sleeping positions. I unboxed it, considering how easy it was to remove from the box and how long it took to unfurl. I also did a 'sniff test' to see how strong the chemical odor was after the unboxing. I then noted how long it took for the smell to diffuse. I pressed my hand into various areas of the mattress, focusing on the edges and center to see how each section felt and making notes. From there, I took to sleeping in the mattress across various room temperatures, including nights where my pre-war apartment's radiators made the room sweltering to evenings where I threw all the windows open to keep the temps as cool as possible. Using those temps, I reviewed how well I slept under both conditions on the mattress to help consider the mattress' cooling features. In addition to sleeping on the bed and gauging how well I slept, I spent time reading on the bed to test how my joints felt for long periods of time in one spot. This way, I could test whether the mattress provided support for the main points, including but not limited to shoulders, hips and knees. In addition to sleeping on the mattress as a 165-pound person, I enlisted the help of my husband to test how the mattress performed with a combined 345 pounds on the springs and memory foam. I've been a journalist for over five years, including more than a year as the consumer tech and electronics editor at Forbes Vetted. In addition to testing mattresses, I've tested the best gaming TVs and the best TVs for bright rooms, I've spent time interacting with the latest smart wearables and audio devices currently on the market, from the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova GameBuds and more. When testing mattresses, I focus on aspects of interest to everyone, from folks who need to relieve joint pain to hot sleepers who need a little extra cooling to sleep soundly through the night. As a result, my mattress testing encompasses all kinds of sleepers, from side to back sleepers. In addition to testing mattresses, I've spent plenty of time testing a slew of mobile devices. I've deep-dived into the Apple ecosystem with the iPhone 16 Pro and reviewed plenty of Android devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Google Pixel 8. Before writing this list, I tested the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, the very latest Android device to launch so far this year. Based on our testing, the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress is good for side sleepers. It's also supportive and comfortable for back and combination sleepers. The Nectar Premier Mattress is designed to be more cooling than the original Nectar Classic, and it comes with twice the memory foam for extra pressure relief. Because of this, it is more expensive than the Nectar Classic. No. You do not need a box spring with a Nectar mattress. You need a supportive frame with slats, though. Nectar recommends that the slats should be no more than four inches apart.
