Nectar Premier Copper: Actually not that great
Did you buy a Nectar mattress? How do you like it? - Bogleheads.org
I bought the Nectar Hybrid Premier Copper. Should I have gone with something else?

Long story short - my 10-year-old Paramount memory foam mattress is sagging in the middle and is likely causing a pinched nerve in my right leg. Not fun. I need to replace it ASAP.
After doing some reading and watching some videos showcasing and critiquing the mattress, I decided that this one was my best option. I visited a local home appliance store so I could get a feel for it first. It was super comfortable compared to what I'm sleeping on now. The firmness felt perfect for what I need. That sold me.
After paying for the mattress and scheduling the delivery for this weekend, I came to Reddit. Everybody here hates Nectar.
Of course, one of the primary complaints is dealing with their customer service, which is a bullet I will be dodging having bought through a retailer. The main concern is the use of fiberglass inside the mattress. I've read some conflicting information, as there is some belief that Nectar may no longer be using fiberglass. If that is the case, then I think I'll be fine with the mattress.
If not... I don't know what to do. I do have the option to cancel before delivery this weekend. I'm a super cautious person by nature and don't want to deal with any fiberglass leaks. I would also prefer to not have another mattress that starts sagging on me after a few years, which is another complaint I have read about Nectar.
It's a little sketchy that they lied about their products being made in the USA, but that won't necessarily affect my experience so I'm not too concerned.
Any input for me, specifically about the newer line of Nectar hybrids?
I posted a few weeks ago that we got a king size Nectar Premier Copper for 1/3 of MSRP through a secondary company that handles the returned mattresses from these companies. But, like, who designed this combination of layers and decided it made sense to charge premium prices for it?
The mattress is 4 inches of a soft "gel memory foam" , then only one inch of a "dynamic" foam layer before 9 inches of a high density base foam. But the top memory foam layer is so soft that it doesn't really support you and you just kind of sink in for those 4 inches. The one inch layer isn't really enough to do anything before you hit the 9 inch high density base. But the base layer isn't at all dynamic so it is just a waste of height because it feels so hard. My body feels like it has to do work to lay on the bed. This bed manages to somehow be both too soft and too hard, one on top of the other. Maybe I would have liked the regular Premier layer configuration better because it has a 3-inch layer for the top two layers on top of 7 inches of the base layer. In retrospect, that seems like a more reasonable combination. With the secondary company we bought from, the prices were very similar so I went with the one that was supposedly "best." It's too bad you can't just get the cover of the premier copper with the layer configuration of the premier, because the layer configuration of the premier copper really doesn't make much sense for sleeping. I haven't slept through the night a single night since we got it. I am trying to figure out if I can fix it by adding a layer somewhere, but the existing combination makes it really difficult since what I need is a thicker medium layer between the top and bottom.
I definitely cannot recommend it at the price point of its actual MSRP.
