Premier Hybrid Mattress

Ive had the Nectar Premier Hybrid (coils and foam) for 7 months now. It was very comfortable for these past 7 months until one day I woke up with extreme back pain. The mattress at this moment feels like it lost all support, so I contacted them and got a refund. Currently looking at Helix which has very good reviews. Edit: Dreamcloud and Nectar are also owned by the same company

Yeah, it's unfortunate because I really liked it too

Just find a mattress liquidator on Facebook marketplace. I found a last model year king Nectar Hybrid Premium for $500. Yes you’re getting last years model, but tbh model years for mattresses are a scam to jack the price up of the newer year. Kinda like phones or cars, there’s really only a big leap in mattress tech every few years or so.

I’m a larger side sleeper with shoulder pain, and I personally sleep on a Nectar Premier Hybrid. It works for me as well as my much lighter partner.  However, I also test and review mattresses. And, when it comes to side sleeping, especially for those with hip and shoulder pain, it’s usually not about finding the softest bed. It’s about getting enough pressure relief for the shoulders and hips while keeping the spine aligned. In general, I’ve found a few things tend to matter most: • Pressure relief. Your shoulder and hips need to sink in slightly. If the comfort layer is too thin or firm, pressure builds up overnight. As others have said in this thread, firmness is subjective, so it’s good to focus on the thickness of the comfort layer.  • Support. If the mattress is too soft overall, the hips can sink too far and twist the lower back. This can cause back pain over time.  • Body weight. Lighter side sleepers often need softer comfort layers, while heavier sleepers usually do better with a medium feel and stronger support. Hybrids with a softer top layer often work well for side sleepers because they allow contouring without that stuck feeling some people get from dense memory foam. There really isn’t one universal best mattress for side sleepers. It’s more about how those layers work together for your body.

Hey, I test and review mattresses for work. If you're mostly wanting to stay online, I would check out the Helix mattresses. They've got a wide range of hybrids that work for pretty much any sleeping position. As a back sleeper, I'm thinking the Helix Midnight will be best for you. It's also within your price range. I also like the Saatva Classic, but that's going to be a bit outside your price range. The Nectar is also solid, but that depends on whether you like a memory foam feel or not. If you do with a Nectar and sleep on your back, the Nectar Classic or Nectar Premier are your best bet.

I spent literal months trying to find a mattress I liked. I finally ended up with a Nectar Premier Hybrid and I have never had better sleep in my life. Obviously, everyone is different and likes different things, but as a strict side sleeper, this bed is everything to me. I use the tencel sheets from Target too and it’s absolute heaven. I don’t work for Nectar or Target either- this is just an honest response from someone who struggled so much to find the right mattress. Also, watch out for Mattress Firm- and nobody come for me because this is MY experience and I’m allowed to share it- they sell that “trial period” hard but the fine print reads that there’s a hefty charge attached to that and they send people to inspect and look for reasons to decline your return. I didn’t buy from them because of this- I bought directly from Nectar and I did have to return a mattress that arrived damaged. The process was quick and easy with no headaches. I also hear Costco is great with returns. Ok, I’m done- but seriously, I’m obsessed with my bed!

I personally I’m not a big fan of either. Working in this industry for as long as I have has made me realize how poorly nectar mattresses are put together. They end up sagging within a couple years of buying them, but with that being said… Choose DreamCloud if you want a balanced feel with firmer support, better edge support, and less sink. Choose Nectar Premier Hybrid if you prefer cradling and motion isolation and don’t mind a softer feel (especially good for side sleepers or couples). I’d go down the dreamcloud route. A lot of places are starting to not sell nectars because of their warranties.

I purchased a Saatva HD after trying it in the showroom and thought I did good by finally investing in a quality mattress… I’ve never had more trouble sleeping in my life. I sleep on all sides, I’m 6’3 and 230 lbs… I literally bought a 2” latex topper, when that was a little better but not enough, I tried a 2” memory foam topper and thought to try stacking them. I wear an oura ring and any night I slept in my own bed my REM sleep was absolutely awful, and I woke up a hundred times until stacking the two toppers. Any recommendations for an all sides sleeper? I used to have a Nectar Premier Hybrid before and that was just too sinky.

Helix Midnight Luxe is the best mattress I’ve ever slept on. Followed closely by the Nectar Premiere, which I sleep on now.
