Feel & Firmness
- Firmness Level: Independent testing suggests roughly a 5/10 (medium) on the standard 1–10 scale.
- Feel Description: On lying down you'll first sense a thick memory-foam comfort layer that gives a deep cradle and “sink-in” sensation. Beneath this, support foams form the base, but the overall experience leans more into contour than bounce. One lab noted “very deep levels of sinkage and very low bounce.”
- Our Take: With a Pressure Relief 10/10 in our ratings, this mattress delivers outstanding contouring - ideal for shoulders/hips. Meanwhile, with Ease of Movement 6/10, the slower response means it may not be the best for those who frequently shift positions or prefer a bouncier surface.
Construction & Materials
Here’s a breakdown of its build and how that impacts performance:
- The Nectar Luxe is an all-foam construction (no coils) with a tall profile - many versions sit around 13–14” in height.
- Comfort layer: A generous slab of memory foam (often > 5″) providing the deep cradle and contour.
- Support layers: High-density poly foam beneath for foundational support; because there are no coils, the mattress relies on foam architecture for lift.
- Cooling enhancements: According to the manufacturer, the Luxe uses “triple the pressure-relieving memory foam” of the Classic version plus “more than double the cooling fibers.”
Why It Matters:
- The thick memory foam layer explains the 10/10 pressure relief and 10/10 motion isolation in our ratings.
- The all-foam base and deep sink explain the moderate support and slower movement ease scores.
- The cooling enhancements help offset one of memory foam’s typical downsides (heat retention), though cooling still may not match the best hybrids or latex builds.
Performance Breakdown
| Category | Our Rating | Summary |
| Pressure Relief | 10 / 10 | Exceptionally good. Independent tests found minimal pressure points under varying body types. |
| Cooling | 5.5 / 10 | Moderate. While cooling is enhanced for memory foam, many testers still found more heat retention compared to hybrid/coil or latex models. |
| Support | 8 / 10 | Solid for many sleeper types. However, heavier stomach sleepers or those needing firmer hip lift may find it less ideal. |
| Motion Isolation | 10 / 10 | Outstanding. The deep foam soak and no coil bounce mean minimal partner disturbance. |
| Edge Support | 5.5 / 10 | Weaker. Sitting or lying near the edge may result in significantly more sink than reinforced coil beds. |
| Ease of Movement | 6 / 10 | Moderate. The heavy foam contour slows repositioning compared to mattress types with quicker response or bounce. |
Sleeping Position Guide
-
Side Sleepers: Excellent match. The high pressure relief offers strong support for shoulders and hips, which is often a key need for side sleepers.
-
Back Sleepers: Very good. The support is enough for many, and the contour adds comfort. If you're heavier (250 + lbs) or prefer a more on-top feel, test side-by-side.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Moderate. While some may do fine, the softer surface and deep sink may allow hip sag—try in store to ensure alignment.
-
Combination Sleepers: Good, but with caution. If you switch positions often, the slower movement ease may feel a bit restrictive.
- Couples / Shared Bed: Strong. Minimal motion transfer and contouring comfort make this a strong candidate, provided edge use and ease of movement are acceptable for both partners.
Value, Warranty & Buying Tips
-
Category: Premium all-foam memory-foam mattress
-

Seattle Showroom Buying Tips:
- Spend at least 10–15 minutes lying down in your typical sleep positions (especially side and back) to see how your shoulders/hips feel in the contouring foam.
- Because edge support is only 5.5/10, sit on the edge of the bed in the showroom—if you lounge or sit frequently at the edge, test how stable it feels.
- Ask about sheet depth and bed frame height; tall foam mattresses may need deep-pocket sheets and stable foundation.

Final Verdict
If you crave deep cushion, strong body-hug, and near-silent motion transfer - and you don’t mind a slower surface feel, modest edge reinforcement, and moderate cooling - the Nectar Luxe Memory Foam mattress is an excellent choice. It stands out particularly for side-sleepers or those who value plush contour and minimal partner disturbance.
Best For:
-
Side and back sleepers seeking strong body-hug and pressure relief.
-
Couples who value motion isolation above bounce or edge ruggedness.
-
Sleepers who prefer memory foam and soft surface feel, rather than firmer “bed-on-top” sensations.
Not Ideal For:
-
Stomach sleepers needing firm hip support and minimal sink.
-
Sleepers who use the bed edge a lot or sit/lounging near the perimeter frequently.
- Frequent position-shifters who prefer a very responsive, quick-recovery feel.
- Hot sleepers who want top-tier cooling (there are hybrids/latex models better for that)
