The second layer is made with a gel memory foam that helps regulate body temperature, while the quilted cover has heat wicking and cooling technology. The Premier Mattress isn't Nectar's advertised cooling mattress (that's the Nectar Premier Copper), but it does have some cooling technology. It wasn't enough to make me feel like I was going to roll off, but this will be a noticeable downside for heavier people (230 pounds or more) who sleep close to the edge of the bed. When sitting on the edge of the bed, the Nectar Premier Mattress sagged under my weight and I felt it cave a little if I got too close to the edge when sleeping at night. While memory foam excels in motion isolation, it falls a little short in edge-to-edge support since it doesn't have any coils to help hold it up. I didn't feel my boyfriend, or my dog, move around at all at night and I wasn't disturbed when he left the bed in the morning to get ready for work. Since the Nectar Premier is constructed of only memory foam and no springs, it excelled in this area. One of memory foam's claims to fame is that it's exceptional at isolating motion. If you have chronic back pain, however, it might be a little too soft for you. Even though I didn't have that "ahh" moment when sliding into bed at night, I felt like this slightly additional firmness was good for my body, and probably for your body too, especially if you're a back sleeper. I generally lean toward medium-plush mattresses because I like more softness, but I consistently woke up pain-free after sleeping on the Nectar Premier. It didn't feel as plush as its predecessor, the Nectar Lush, but it had enough give to take the pressure off my hips and shoulders when I was sleeping on my side. Nectar rates it a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale and I'd say that's pretty accurate. The Nectar Premier Mattress is classified as a medium to medium-firm mattress. If you're a dedicated stomach or back sleeper and you rarely change positions at night, this won't be an issue for you, but if you toss and turn, you'll notice the mattress will take some time to adjust - something to be expected of memory foam-only models. I felt equally comfortable lying on my back and side, although it had more lag than I would have liked adjusting to my movement. I slept on the Nectar Premier Mattress for two months, around 60 days, and while I didn't fall in love with it right away, it grew on me over time. Nectar Premier Mattress firmness and feel It was soft enough to let my body sink in, but still provided adequate support so my spine didn't get thrown out of alignment. With this mattress, I didn't get any of that. When I've slept on other memory foam mattresses, they've felt a little too firm around my shoulders, leading to pain and some numbness and tingling when I wake up, depending on my sleeping position. When the foams did eventually adjust, I felt the pressure come off my shoulders and hips and I felt noticeably lighter and really comfortable.Īdmittedly, I prefer hybrid mattresses or pillow-top mattresses to only memory foam, but the Nectar Premier felt softer than I expected and had a little more give, too, which was a pleasant surprise. Eventually the mattress started to bounce back and contour to my current sleeping position, but it seemed to take a bit longer than other mattresses I've tried. I turned onto my side and for a little while, I felt like I was situated in the impression my body made from lying on my back. While it didn't feel cloud-like or especially plush, that's par for the course with memory foam-only mattresses and exactly what I expected. I slowly began to sink into the mattress and felt the memory foam adapt to my body and contour around my pressure points.

When the mattress was fully expanded, I got into bed and situated myself on my back.

I left it to expand for a full 24 hours before sleeping on it and deciding how I felt.

It wasn't totally off-putting, but it was unpleasant enough that I opened the windows to let it air out.

It also had a little bit of off-gassing and smelled like chemicals. I was a little disappointed at first because the whole thing looked and felt less, well, lush, than the Nectar Lush, especially the cover. As soon as it arrived, I lifted it onto my platform adjustable base, carefully cut off the plastic and let it expand. It was one of my favorite mattresses that I've tried - and I've tried a lot - so I had really high hopes for the Nectar Premier. I've previously slept on the Nectar Lush, the predecessor to the Nectar Premier, and loved it.
