Key Advantages
Why Choose Nectar
- Cheapest entry into the Nectar lineup — $250 less at Queen
- Deepest pressure relief at the shoulder for strict side sleepers
- Best-in-class motion isolation — partner movement disappears
- Quieter (no coils) for very light sleepers
Why Choose Nectar Hybrid
- Cooler surface (1.1°F lower temp rise in our lab)
- Far better edge support — usable to within 2" of the perimeter
- More responsive — easier to reposition, better for combo sleepers
- Holds up better for sleepers over 200 lb (less foam roll-off)
