Who is the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress most suitable for?
So, you’re considering purchasing a Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress, but is this the right choice for you?
From our in-depth Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress review, we'd say it's best suited to:
- Hot sleepers
- Those looking for tailored support and pressure relief
- Individuals looking for a firmer-feeling mattress
- People with a higher budget
- Those looking for excellent customer support and delivery conditions
It's worth noting that this is the most expensive mattress in Nectar’s range, but we'd consider it well worth the price since the 8-layer design offers a blend of firm support, pressure relief, and enhanced breathability. 👏
Additionally, all foams in this mattress are CertiPUR-certified [1] and guaranteed not to contain any ozone depletors, plus all Nectar mattresses are carbon-neutral, so you'll be choosing a healthier and more sustainable product.
All Nectar mattresses also come with excellent customer support, free named-day delivery, and exceptionally long trials and warranties.
Take a look at our rating below before diving into the full Nectar Premier Hybrid review:
Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress comfort, support, and temperature regulation
Our testers found the Nectar Hybrid Premier mattress very supportive and comfortable, with the layers working well together for a balanced feel.
The overwhelmingly positive Trustpilot Nectar Premier Hybrid reviews also agree with this opinion, with most customers finding the mattress helped improve their sleep. ⭐
It's worth keeping in mind, though, that it is a slightly firmer mattress - if you prefer a softer mattress or are a lighter-weight side sleeper, this won’t be the most comfortable mattress for you.
Some other notable points:
- The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress excels in pressure relief. Its layers of pocket springs, which can move independently, and foams, which contour around the body, react precisely to your body and movements. This can significantly reduce aches for most sleepers.
- We found the mattress had decent edge support when lying on it, meaning you could make use of the full width when sleeping, but support was lacking when sitting on the edges. This is worth keeping in mind if you often sit on the side of your bed.
- The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress boasts excellent temperature regulation. While it doesn’t feel cold to the touch, it combines firmer, more breathable open-cell foams and pocket springs, which reduce heat retention and encourage airflow.
- Th mattress excels in motion isolation, making it an ideal choice for people sharing a bed. You won’t feel your partner shifting or climbing in or out of bed or shifting during the night.
- Unlike traditional memory foam mattresses that contour to the body and restrict movement, the Nectar's hybrid design ensures you rest more on the surface. This feature makes changing sleeping positions throughout the night effortless.
Overall, we found this mattress incredibly comfortable, supportive, with decent edge support and great temperature regulation.
Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress firmness
The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress is known for its firmer feel.
While Nectar categorises it as a 6 to 6.5 out of 10, our testers found it leans closer to a 7 out of 10 on the Sleep Hero firmness scale.
This may feel too firm for some individuals, but generally medium to firm mattresses are best for reducing back pain [2], which can help improve sleep.
The mattress also has a softer top, which helps achieve the desired firm support without feeling too hard.
We think this combination of soft-top-and-firmer-bottom support is best for:
- The Nectar Premier Hybrid firmness level makes it one of the best mattresses for back sleepers.
- It's also suitable for lighter-weight stomach sleepers, as the firmer feel will be enough to prevent their pelvis from sinking in.
- Heavier-weight side sleepers will also find this Nectar mattress comfortable as the firmness level allows enough sinkage for the shoulders and hips without letting them sink through completely.
The mattress can help maintain optimal spinal alignment for each of these sleepers.
If you're looking for more of that memory foam feel, the foam-only Nectar Premier could also be an option for you!
Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress composition
The Nectar Premier Hybrid features 8 layers, which include:
1. Quilted cooling cover
The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress’s quilted cooling cover is designed to draw heat away from the body for a cooler sleep experience.
Conveniently, it's crafted from durable polyester and is removable, machine-washable, and fast-drying.
It's also soft and silky to the touch, and an absolute dream to sleep on - don't forget your bedding though!
We're big fans of the luxurious Panda bedding range.
2. Dynamic support layer
This breathable foam layer has a bouncier feel and enhanced airflow capabilities compared to regular memory foam, contributing to the mattress having a firmer and cooler feel.
3. Micro-springs layer
The micro-springs layer within the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress is designed to improve breathability and promote fresh air circulation, drawing heat away from the body.
This ensures a cooler and more comfortable sleep environment, ideal for individuals who sleep hot.
4. Memory foam layer
Memory foam offers relief of pressure points and tailored support.
It contours around the body, usually retaining heat and offering a hugging feel. 🤗
However, its placement further down in the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress layers helps mitigate the warm feeling.
With this design, the mattress provides excellent pressure relief without causing overheating.
5. Transition layer
The fifth layer of the Nectar Premier Hybrid helps improve the overall feel and support of the mattress and works with the support layer below to allow for micro-adjustments.
These adjustments help optimise spinal alignment for better sleep and mornings with fewer aches and pains.
6. Pocket spring layer
The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress pocket spring layer plays a crucial role in promoting spinal alignment and enhancing breathability.
Each spring stands at 12 cm (4.7") tall and is individually pocketed, allowing them to move independently for more contouring support.
The tall spring layer also further promote airflow.
With up to 832 springs in the largest mattress size, this layer significantly boosts the mattress's ability to facilitate a cooler sleep environment.
7. Support base foam layer
This support foam layer sits near the bottom of the mattress and doesn’t affect the feel of it.
However, it plays an important role in improving the foundational stability and support of the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress.
8. Base material
Last but not least, the base material wraps around the Nectar Premier Hybrid.
This layer prevents slipping, keeping your mattress firmly in place on your bed frame.
Together, these layers create a mattress that's comfortable and supportive.
Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress delivery and trial conditions
The delivery and setup process of our Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress was effortless.
Here are all your need-to-knows:
- Nectar offers free named-day delivery within just 3 working days.
- The mattress is delivered rolled as a bed-in-a-box. 🚚
- The company can also remove your old mattress for an extra charge.
- Although unpacking is straightforward, the mattress is heavy, so we recommend enlisting a helping hand, particularly if you opt for a Nectar Premier Hybrid king or super king.
- The mattress expands quickly, and we noticed minimal off-gassing.
- Our tester was able to sleep on the mattress the same day, though Nectar advises that it may take up to two weeks for the mattress to expand fully.
Conveniently, the Nectar Premier Hybrid comes with an outstanding 365-day trial, though the brand requires customers to sleep on their new mattress for at least a month before returning it to allow time to get used to the potentially different feeling.
Nectar Premier vs Nectar Premier Hybrid
The Nectar Premier and Nectar Premier Hybrid share Nectar’s 365-night trial, lifetime warranty, pressure-relieving foams, and cooling-focused design, but they differ most in feel and support.
- The Nectar Premier is an all-foam mattress with a medium-firm feel (around 6.5/10). Its thick memory foam creates a softer, body-hugging feel that suits side sleepers and couples wanting strong motion isolation.
- The Nectar Premier Hybrid combines memory foam with pocket springs for a firmer, more responsive feel (around 7/10). It offers stronger support, easier movement, and better airflow, making it a better fit for hot sleepers, back sleepers, and combination sleepers who prefer sleeping on rather than in the mattress.
While the Premier sleeps cool for an all-foam model, the Hybrid’s spring construction allows significantly more airflow, making it the better option for people who overheat at night.
Overall, choose the Nectar Premier for softer contouring and pressure relief, or the Nectar Premier Hybrid for firmer support, improved breathability, and greater versatility.
