Brand Snapshot

Since its 2017 launch, Nectar has become one of the most popular online mattress brands. The company made its first splash with its original Nectar mattress, a pressure-relieving bed built with thick layers of memory foam. Since then, the company has added several products to its line-up, including adjustable bases, pillows, sheets, weighted blankets, and, of course, the Nectar Lush! We won’t review all those products today, but we will take a moment later in this review to see how the original Nectar and Nectar Lush stack up. But before we do that, let’s get to know the Nectar Lush.

What Is the Nectar Lush Made Of?

The Nectar Lush is a 12-inch tall, all-foam mattress that uses several types of foam in its layers (namely, memory foam, Energex foam, and high-density poly foam). All that foam creates a bed that’s soft and pressure-relieving. The mattress also has a couple features that should keep it sleeping cool. Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside of the Nectar Lush! Cover – The cover is thin, breathable, and cool to the touch. This helps the entire bed sleep cooler. Comfort Layer – Beneath the cover, you’ll find 3” of gel memory foam. This layer has a classic memory foam feel, including body-contouring, a slow response to pressure, and great pressure relief. These qualities might appeal to side sleepers, who need to sink into a mattress to avoid tension around the shoulder and hip. Meanwhile, the gel helps draw heat away from the sleeper so you won’t overheat while sinking into the bed.

Trying out the Nectar Lush

Transition Layer – Next up is a 2” transitional layer of Energex foam. This material offers some of the same pressure relief as the comfort layer above, but it has a quicker response to pressure. This eases the sleeper from the comfort layer to the more supportive layer below. Base Layer – Finally, you’ll find a base layer made from 7” of high-density poly foam. This is a firm material that has a quick response to pressure and offers plenty of support. Thanks to this layer, the mattress should work for back sleepers, who need a mattress that’s both pressure-relieving and supportive enough to keep their hips elevated and aligned with the spine.

How Firm is the Nectar Lush Mattress?

Now that we know what’s inside the Nectar Lush, we can begin to understand what it feels like to lie on this bed. Let’s kick things off by looking at the mattress’s firmness! First, a quick reminder: Firmness is fairly subjective. Your personal preferences and your body weight, shape, and size will all affect how firm a mattress feels to you — and the same goes for me! So keep in mind that my firmness assessment isn’t the be-all and end-all here.

I found the Nectar Lush to be on the softer side

Based on my personal experience with this mattress, I gave it around a 5.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The industry standard for medium firmness is 6.5, so this puts the mattress squarely in the “soft” category. You know what’s inside the Nectar Lush, so you might be able to guess why it’s on the softer side! The thick memory foam comfort layer and the Energex transitional layer add up to 5” of pressure-relieving foam that let sleepers sink deeply into the mattress. These qualities should appeal to side sleepers, who need plenty of body-contouring and pressure relief to avoid feeling “jammed up” at the shoulder or hip. The bed could also appeal to back sleepers who like sinking into foam.
