Nectar Premier
Ranked #5 in Best Memory Foam Mattresses Queen
Nectar Premier
$3,396as of Jul 9

The Nectar Premier memory foam mattress is a remodeled version of the brand's popular model, featuring 60% more cooling fibers and double the pressure-relieving memory foam compared to its predecessor. Reviewers noted it offers excellent lumbar support and pressure relief while being 100% fiberglass-free, addressing previous concerns. Though it's slightly softer than standard, it maintains good bodily support and contouring. The mattress includes free shipping, a one-year trial, and a lifetime warranty. It's recommended for those seeking a balance of comfort and support, though the cooling properties may not meet expectations for hot sleepers.

Strengths
  • 60% more cooling fibers than the Nectar Classic
  • Double the amount of pressure relieving memory foam compared to the Nectar Classic
  • 13-inch tall all-foam construction with therapeutic memory foam
Watch-outs

  • Slightly softer than industry standard
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt
Ranked #4 in Best Memory Foam Mattresses Queen
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt
$424.35as of Jul 9

The Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt offers a plush, body-hugging sleep surface designed to relieve pressure, particularly well-suited for side sleepers and those seeking excellent motion isolation. Reviewers noted significant improvements over older Tempur-Pedic models, especially in temperature regulation and comfort, with the hybrid version featuring individually wrapped coils that conform to the body without bottoming out. However, it received lower marks for ease of movement and temperature control, and may not suit back or stomach sleepers who prefer firmer support. Sleep Doctor rated it 8.0/10, while a YouTube reviewer praised its comfort and performance after 18 years of mattress sales experience.

Strengths
  • Plush, body-hugging sleep surface that relieves pressure
  • Excellent motion isolation for side sleepers
  • Hybrid model features individually wrapped coils for conforming support
Watch-outs
  • Poor ease of movement and temperature control ratings
  • Lower perimeter support rating
  • Not ideal for back or stomach sleepers who prefer firmer surfaces

How they stack up

Nectar Premier

The Nectar Premier stands out for its 60% more cooling fibers and double the pressure-relieving memory foam compared to the Nectar Classic, but it's slightly softer than industry standard and lacks the cooling cover feel that the Leesa Original Mattress offers. Unlike the Saatva mattresses, it doesn't provide the premium hybrid construction or the three firmness options that make Saatva more versatile.

Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt

The Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt offers excellent motion isolation and a plush, body-hugging surface, but it lacks the cooling performance of the Leesa Original Mattress and doesn't provide the same level of support as the Saatva mattresses.
