I highly prefer hybrid over classic. Classic gave me back pain and slept hot. Was able to switch my classic to a hybrid and its night and day. I love the hybrid. It's comfortable, like a medium firm. While the Classic in my opinion is a firm. Unlike the classic, I didn't havr to break in rhe hybrid. It was comfy out of the box. Hybrid is Not cool to touch in my opinion, but much cooler than the classic. And hybrid doesn't sleep hot, so I guess the cooling tech they put in makes a difference.

r/nectarsleep on Reddit: Nectar Hybrid vs Memory Foam?
September 8, 2025 -

Has anyone tried both?

I’m looking at Nectar’s lineup and can’t decide between the all-foam vs their hybrid model. I’ve read the foam is more contouring, but I worry it might trap too much heat. The hybrid supposedly sleeps cooler and has a bit more bounce, but I’m not sure if it feels supportive enough for side sleepers with shoulder/hip pressure points.

If you’ve owned either (or both), how was your sleep quality? Did you notice a big difference in firmness or durability over time?

Would love to hear real experiences before I pull the trigger.

Hey guys, I’ve narrowed my mattress search down to Nectar.

My wife and I currently have a generic memory foam mattress in a box from Amazon, and we’ve had it about 9 months. After 4-5 months, we had to rotate it due to a pit being formed where we lied. Now we’re feeling a out again and have decided to get a higher quality mattress instead of following the same routine again.

We like to sit up and watch TV at night, so stability to support us is a major need. I’m 6’1” about 250, she’s 5’4” about 180. We don’t necessarily have a primary way we sleep since we both move around and switch sleep positions during the night.

My question is should I go with a Nectar Original or Nectar Hybrid? We like the idea of a medium firm with the original, but also like the stronger support coils of the Hybrid.

Any input is greatly appreciated!!

r/nectarsleep on Reddit: Nectar Premier vs Nectar Hybrid Standard
June 4, 2025 -

So as the title says I'm conflicted between these two options, I'm a side sleeper that fluctuates between 180 and 190 lbs (83-88KG), as such tend to prefer a softer bed, has a very active job, and needs as much support as possible. As the sale ends in a day time any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I was initially dead set on the nectar Memory memory foam premier until I saw it was ideal for those with uuuuh...other needs in the bedroom. So the natural option was to go for the hybrid. And upon doing some research I found the common opinion is that the standard hybrid is actually softer than its premier version.

Does the standard nectar hybrid really come as close to feeling as memory foam like as its full foam counterparts as some reviews will have you believe? Or is there any alternatives around the same price point (UK) that suit my needs better.

Thanks for your help everyone :D

r/nectarsleep on Reddit: Need advice before purchase Nectar ultra vs Nectar ultra hybrid
February 6, 2025 -

Hello everyone I am looking to purchase a mattress and narrowed it down to Nectar.

I am 5"7, 140 pounds. I am single (no partner concerns movement mattress wise). I had an bad car accident 15 years ago and experience moderate lower back pain occasionally. Its not sufficient for me to consider any type of medication. I had a cat scan and they found that I have a disc on my lower back that is degrading but not concerning enough to keep me from leading an active lifestyle.

With that being said, picking my next mattress, I want to get the most comfortable and support option available which lead me to the Nectar Ultra or Ultra Hybrid.

I went on the nectar website to speak to a customer service agent on chat and they where not very helpful just kept on providing feedback which is in no relation to my questions.

I decided on the Ultra because:

A. It appears to be the top of the line, flagship, premium, luxurious, lol all of the above from their offerings.
B. It appears to be the coolest which is important to me.
C. It appears to be a very thick mattress.
D. I am going to purchase the adjustable frame to also watch tv and relax and the sinc in appeal while relaxing is very appealing to me.
D. I have casual lower back pain and was told that this would craddle and resolve.

Things to consider.

I have never owned a memory foam mattress but have always wanted one. I have tried out a temperpedic in their showroom and fell in love with them which is why i am no planning on memory foam.

I find traditional mattresses to be some what to hard and firm and the reason that my back hurts when it does.

I was told by the sales person on nectar.com that the hybrid offers "foam" similar feeling but that its like having a traditional bed with a memory foam topper. I have that now and not a fan. Maybe its because i have a serta 3" memory foam topper on my current bed and it does nothing for me.

Thank you for your feedback.

May 11, 2025 -

I am debating getting a new Nectar mattress, as I have heard many good things about it. My current mattress is almost 30 years old…so I am LOOOONG overdue for an upgrade. I currently have a king size bed and plan to get the Nectar king size bed, in either Classic or Premier.

I wanted to get people’s opinions on what they like about the Classic or Premier version of the Nectar mattress? Why pick one over the other? I am planning to go to the nearest location with Nectar mattresses next week to test them out, but figured I’d ask on here first to get a head start on what I should be looking for.

I am a 6’ 4” male and about 215 lbs. I have no back problems / issues with pain at night sleeping; I am just looking for a new bed for me and my gf, as we are moving and are tossing the old mattress to upgrade to a new one.

Also on a side note, is the “cooling technology” option worth it? Is it noticeable if I decide to get one WITH the cooling technology? Thanks in advance!

Memory Foam vs Hybrid Mattress: What Is the Difference?
This affects the feel and function of memory foam, and is often kept as a proprietary secret. However, according to one general rule, every memory foam product contains at least some degree of polyether polyol, which is responsible for the viscosity and elasticity of foam. Hybrid mattresses are a mix of two different styles of beds.

August 11, 2022 -

Well, I went to MattressFirm to check out some mattresses to see how some of them feel.

But MattressFirm only carry Sleepy's, Sealy, Nectar and TemperPedic.

I tried out all of them but Temper as that's over $2000 (my budget is around 1000 and under)

I tired the Sealy Posturepedic 12" Hybrid they have and it feels pretty good, so does the Nectar Premier, however the Nectar they have is Full Foam, they don't have the Hybrid... (the Full Foam is a bit too soft, so I think Hybrid is still best)

(MattressFirm was also advertising their Free adjustable beds for labor day sale... not sure how good that bed is)

(I was thinking of getting that KD wood/slated bed foundation I mentioned in an earlier thread, but I also saw a lot of review that says Hybrids goes really well with adjustable beds)

.

I took a look at Amazon to check out Nectar Hybrid (and premier version) reviews and also saw Dreamcloud Hybrid, that's apparently made by same company as Nectar.

(and checked Sealy, but Sealy seems to have a lower customer rating on Amazon)

So... what's the exact differences between Dreamcloud Hybrid and Nectar Hybrids?

(a lot of things seems to be similar) (but Dreamcloud Premier is about $100 less)

.

Also, are there any other Hybrid beds around the same feel (Medium to Medium-Soft) around the same price range (900~1000-ish or less) that's better than Nectar or Dreamcloud?

When it comes to Nectar vs DreamCloud mattress, Reddit, both are good options. But, I'd fully go with the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress. The Nectar Premier Copper Mattress is a decent option if you're looking for a softer feel.

(DreamCloud's just generally firmer)

Between Nectar or DreamCloud, DreamCloud as I mentioned can be a bit firmer. Still it will manage to offer good pressure point relief and comfort without it feeling like you're sinking into the mattress; which apparently is what you're looking for.

Also, the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress tends to be the firmer option compared to the Premier or Premier Rest.

They're both good for combination sleepers, so if you're all about that cloud-like feel, but with a more FIRM support, DreamCloud's the one.

DreamCloud vs Nectar, huh?

Both are made by Resident Home, so yes, lots of similarities. If you're a fan of that classic DreamCloud or Nectar feel, you might want to look into the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress as an alternative.

The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress was designed with different layers of memory foam and other pressure-relieving materials for comfort and support.

It does hug your body but also keeps you aligned.

IMO, DreamCloud is the best option if you ask me to choose between Nectar or DreamCloud.

The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress is a memory foam-based mattress and it leans more to the "responsive" side of things, providing a bit of bounce back. That makes it easier to move around in bed, which some people prefer.

The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress leans more toward the firmer side of medium, I'd say a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, compared to Nectar's 5.5 out of 10. Also, if you're a fan of DreamCloud's luxury feel, for your budget, this mattress would be the best option.

A medium-firm mattress will provide you with the right balance of comfort and support.

So, if you liked the Sealy Posturepedic 12" Hybrid and the Nectar Premier Copper Mattress, put the DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress on your radar.

We recently made a huge mistake and bought a sealy tighttop 1000 coil mattress and it stiff as board. Awful. The worst part is going to return it we nicked the bottom and ripped it 😭.

Anyway enough of that, now i cant sleep on it for much longer so i need a mattress topper or a new bed . Im pregnant and my back is dying already from the plywood bed lol.

Is nector good? Are u a real person or a nectar employee 🤣🤣🤣 the reviews almost seem too good to be true whilst so much hate is out there?

ALSO, how long have u had your bed? Anyone here have it for 8+ years?

AALSOOOOO, does it have fiberglass? It seems like there is misleading info out there

Thank u

Hi, real person here (who is also a nectar mod but not an official nectar employee). I can't say anything about nectar mattresses specifically, but I DO have a dreamcloud mattress and have had it for just shy of 3 years. Dreamcloud and Nectar are owned by the same company/are pretty much the same thing. Zero complaints about quality - there is no sagging so far. My husband and I use our adjustable base a lot and haven't noticed any permanent bends or folds either. Big fan of customer service - I had a question about the firmness of the mattress and they sent me a topper. I have the premier which is pretty firm but has a top layer of foam for more comfort. I've heard the luxe is softer. No fiberglass in dreamcloud or nectar. Google says their older mattresses did, but new models do not. As for reviews.... yeah, dreamcloud and Nectar both have mixed reviews, but mattresses are such a tricky thing to shop for. One group of people will think a mattress is the perfect firmness while another yells about it feeling like sleeping on concrete or something. I personally have had a fantastic experience across the board.

I’m not a Nectar employee. I’ll go ahead and get that out of the way- though I wish they’d shoot me some kind of kick back for how loud I am about how much I love my mattress. I’ve had it right at a month, so I’m still new, but it’s the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. I have the premiere hybrid. Back story info and relevant info: We had an old TempurPedic and now we have a luxe breeze in another bedroom. I prefer my Nectar all day all week all the time. I am 5’3/120 lbs side sleeper and almost all beds feel too firm. For me and my needs this bed is perfection. I know that lots of things factor in, but for me- I am sleeping better than I ever have. Customer service: I originally got the luxe hybrid and it arrived in a beaten up box and the coils were damaged and it just wasn’t great- it was also really tall. I called Nectar, they asked for pics, approved the return, came to pick it up- had my refund and then got this bed all within a week. They were fantastic to me. So, I recommend, but personal preference is just such a huge thing with mattresses. I hope you find a great one soon :)

Nectar vs. Nectar Hybrid Mattress Comparison for 2025 - Sleep Advisor
The Nectar is the Nectar brand’s original all-foam bed, while the Nectar Hybrid is its hybrid cousin that takes Nectar’s classic design and adds a unit of pocketed coils. They may be different plays on one another, but aside from their mattress type, they retain almost the same features. Both beds are 12 inches tall, wrapped in a breathable quilted cover, and constructed with pressure-relieving memory foam.

February 21, 2023 - I've heard Nectar mattresses contain fibreglass. Not sure about the hybrid. ... Just buy it and return if you don’t like it. I did that with a dreamcloud and they (same company) just had me send a receipt that I donated it after. Full credit back within an hour. ... Is it possible to find a traditional mattress? Not gel, not memory foam, just firm.

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new mattress for when I move. I'm not really experienced with mattresses, so I would greatly appreciate your opinions! I would say that I sleep on both my sides and back and I'm 6 feet. I always seem to have back pain, but I believe that's due to me being at a desk for the majority of my day mixed with a combination of working out. I'm mainly looking for something to help relieve my back pain.

I'm deciding on the 3 mattresses listed above and would greatly appreciate any reviews/feedback you have of them?

If there are any mattresses in that price range that you recommend, please list them as well! Thank you :)

January 10, 2025 -

So I've been sleeping on my nectar luxe hybrid and it's honestly been pretty great other than the break in period which took a few weeks.

Only thing is, I sweat like crazy. the cooling stuff in the luxe hybrid helps a bit, but i'm still waking up all damp way too often. its not awful just not cutting it for me.

so yesterday I'm on Instagram, and I see this ad for the new nectar ultra mattress. the girl in the ad is going on about 4x more cooling fibers than the classic hybrid and some foam(or maybe phase?) change thing that keeps you cool. dude... I know it's an ad that's sponsored or whatever but I'm soooo tempted. id probably keep my nectar luxe hybrid for the spare room cause it's solid but I'm dying to try the nectar ultra for myself.

any of you know if the nectar ultra mattress really keeps you cooler or is it just slick ad talk?

Hey everyone!

My partner and I are thinking about getting a queen-sized nectar mattress (the regular memory foam one) after looking at a ton of options. We’ve both been researching a lot and even checked out a few nectar mattress Reddit threads, but it’s hard to know what’s legit.

We’re both around 5’6” and average weight, and we’re both side sleepers dealing with neck and back pain. I’ve even got some hip pain that makes sleeping uncomfortable, so finding the right mattress is a big deal for us. We want to keep our budget under $1,000, and the Nectar looks like it could be a great value. But after reading so many reviews and nectar mattress reddit discussions, everything is starting to blur together.

If you’ve tried a nectar or have any insights from other reddit posts, we’d love to hear your thoughts! Is it really worth it for side sleepers? Does it help with pain, and how does it hold up over time? Appreciate any honest experiences you can share.

Thanks so much!

r/nectarsleep on Reddit: Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress too soft. Which Nectar is firmer?
June 7, 2025 -

Greetings all. I just purchased a Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress, queen, and it is too soft for me. I have a ton of back problems. I need a firm mattress, I bought this one after reading reviews that they were medium-firm. It is just too soft, does not provide enough support. It is on an Ikea slatted frame, slats are 2 3/4 inches apart.

Their website lists the Nectar Hybrid as "firm." Anyone tried one? Anyone tried both and can describe the difference in firmness?

The bed is great as far a quality, at least for the week I have had it, I just need more support.

Any thoughts or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
