The Nectar Premier Hybrid combines foam layers and springs for a medium-firm bed that’s proven to be a bestselling combination for the brand. So which sleepers might find its hybrid construction best suited to their needs? We put the bed through a series of tests in an effort to find out.
The Sleepopolis team of certified sleep science coaches and expert testers has been evaluating mattresses for over 10 years, which means we have the experience and know-how to make helpful mattress recommendations. For this review, we checked in with our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, along with our chief medical product tester, Dr. Joe Tedesco, DPT, for their expert insights.
After considering its materials, construction, and multiple performance categories, we think the Nectar Premier Hybrid is a great fit for side and back sleepers. Couples in search of excellent motion isolation should also be satisfied.
The Nectar Premier Hybrid is a medium-soft mattress with a durable hybrid construction. This bed should work well for a wide range of sleepers with different needs. It also features a quilted cooling cover with Microban antimicrobial protection to help prevent bacteria growth.
What our tester says:
“I think back sleepers should feel comfortable on this bed, as it will support their lumbar region and offer them pressure relief. Also, combination sleepers will notice how easy it is to change sleeping positions on this mattress and how quickly the foams form around your body as you settle into your new position.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
Our Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Review Summarized
The Nectar Premier is a budget-friendly hybrid with a true medium-firm feel. It has a plush yet supportive sensation that works very well for side and back sleepers in light and average weight classes. While it didn’t have the best edge support or response time, we think couples will really appreciate the standout motion isolation.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Sleepopolis Scores
Our Scoring System
We rate each mattress on a scale from 1 to 5 to reflect its overall quality. The number is comprised of individual scores from hands-on testing of materials, firmness, pressure relief, motion transfer, cooling, responsiveness, and more. Learn more about our methodology.
Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of certified sleep science coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Overview
The Nectar Premier Hybrid builds on the success of the brand’s flagship, all-foam Nectar Classic model. The bed-in-a-box is made with layers of memory foam atop innerspring coils, so it has a bit of the classic sink with notable support underneath. During testing, the hybrid earned high marks in pressure relief and motion isolation — no surprise, given the thick layer of memory foam — and we think it could be especially comfortable for many side and back sleepers.
Despite its coils, the Premier Hybrid came up a little short in edge support, which might pose an issue for those with mobility concerns. The bed’s deep contouring also affected its response time, so combination sleepers may find it a little hard to easily change position. We’d also advise those who consistently overheat at night to consider one of our picks of the best mattresses for hot sleepers.
With a queen size priced around $1,100, we think the Nectar Premier Hybrid is a great value buy (and it’s usually cheaper after discounts). Plus, Nectar offers one of the best sleep trials in the business with a full 365 nights, and all of its beds are backed by lifetime warranties.
Who I Recommend the Nectar Premier Hybrid For
- Lightweight and average-weight back and side sleepers can appreciate the softness of the foam layers up top and the excellent support from the coils below.
- Couples on the hunt for a bed with excellent motion isolation should be really pleased with the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which does a great job of isolating movement.
- With a queen bed priced just under $1,100, we think this is a good option for shoppers on a budget.
Who I Don’t Recommend the Nectar Premier Hybrid For
- Sleepers over 230 pounds are unlikely to get the support they need in this bed, so we’d advise a mattress that’s specifically designed to hold more weight.
- People with mobility issues who need sturdy edges to assist as they get in and out of bed may want to consider a mattress with a higher score in this category.
- Combination sleepers may do better on a bed with better rebound, which makes it easier to switch positions during the night without disrupting their rest.

Nectar Premier Hybrid Value
To evaluate value, we consider the price of a mattress in terms of its material quality and overall performance. The Nectar Premier Hybrid is well priced at just under $1,100 for a queen, and it has a generous 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty. The mattress is fiberglass-free and certified by CertiPUR-US, meaning it meets high standards for material content, emissions, and durability. That said, the CertiPUR-US certification is a bit complicated, which you can read more about here.
What Is the Nectar Premier Hybrid Made Of?
The Premier Hybrid is a 13-inch mattress with four layers.

Cover – The soft, smooth cover is woven with cooling fibers and has an antimicrobial finish for a cleaner sleep surface.
Comfort Layer – This 2-inch layer is made with memory foam, so it has a slow-moving response for pressure relief and contouring in the back, hips and shoulders.
Transition Layer – This responsive support layer is 2 inches tall, delivering dynamic support for neutral alignment.
Support Layer – The support layer is composed of 8-inch innerspring coils that are individually wrapped, so they respond independently as you move for targeted support and motion isolation.

Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Firmness
Firmness describes how a mattress feels when you lie down. That makes it subjective, since your own experience depends on personal factors like body weight and preferred sleep style. It’s why two people with different body types can sleep on the same bed and have very different perceptions of whether it’s soft or firm.
To give you a general idea of how a mattress might feel, we use a firmness rating based on a scale of 1 to 10. One indicates extreme softness, and 10 indicates a very firm, very flat feel. Sleepopolis tester and certified sleep science coach Riley Otis assessed the Nectar Premier Hybrid and rated it 6.5/10, a classic medium-firm. Riley falls into the lightweight sleeper category up to 130 pounds, which means mattresses can feel a little firmer to her than to those with more weight. Heavier sleepers may find the bed feels a touch softer in some positions.

Riley found the Premier Hybrid incredibly comfortable on her back. “This mattress is a great match for sleepers who enjoy a slow, dough-like sink and lots of contouring,” she said. “I was especially impressed by the lumbar support — it hugs the lower back nicely and adds to that deeply cradled feel.”
She found the bed well suited for side sleepers as well: “I feel more nestled into the mattress than perched on top of it, though the coil layer underneath provides enough support to keep me from sinking excessively.”
Riley was equally impressed on her stomach, describing gentle sinkage that she felt evenly across her body. But we’d caution sleepers in average and heavy weight ranges to proceed with caution. There’s a good chance that they’ll experience excessive hip sinkage that pulls the spine out of alignment.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Performance
There are a lot of details to consider when you’re choosing a mattress. For the most comprehensive understanding of all the beds we review, we test individual performance categories like pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and cooling. Here’s how the Nectar Premier Hybrid fared.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Pressure Relief Performance
When we talk about pressure relief in a mattress, it’s a reference to how well the bed eases stress on pressure points like the shoulders, hips, and low back as you sleep. A mattress with good pressure relief evenly distributes weight, which allows heavier parts of the body to sink in a little more instead of concentrating pressure in a few spots. According to Dr. Dasgupta, a medium-soft to medium-foam mattress with memory foam is a good option for pressure relief, so we had high expectations for the Nectar Premier Hybrid going in. Spoiler: It didn’t disappoint.
Riley tested the Premier Hybrid on her side and her back. She gave the bed 4.5 out of 5 in both positions, raving about the way the bed cradled her body: “On my back, I feel almost weightless,” she said. “My body sinks in evenly by a few inches, without any one area dipping more than the rest. My spine feels level and well aligned, similar to that zero-gravity sensation where everything feels balanced. The contouring around my lower back is especially noticeable. It’s very comfortable and does a great job easing the tension I tend to carry in my lumbar area.”

On her side, Riley found the Premier Hybrid equally comfortable. “The mattress molded nicely around my hips and shoulders, creating distinct cradle points that took pressure off those areas,” she shared. “I also noticed the foam filling in along my waist and ribs, which added to the overall comfort. I felt more enveloped by the mattress than resting on top of it, which I think will be soothing for side sleepers, particularly anyone dealing with joint discomfort.”
Nectar Premier Hybrid Motion Isolation
Motion isolation can matter a little or a lot depending on whether you usually sleep solo or with a partner or pet. Dr. Dasgupta says that motion transfer refers to how movement on one side of a mattress affects the other side. He notes that considering motion isolation is crucial if you share the bed or you’re sensitive to movement. This is another category where memory foam excels, and the Nectar Premier Hybrid performed as expected. It earned 4.5 out of 5 based on two different tests.

In the ripple test, Riley placed a basin of water on one side of the bed. She climbed in and out of bed and rolled around, observing the degree to which her movements disturbed the water. “The bed did a great job absorbing the majority of my motion and preventing it from reaching the glass,” she said. “The water didn’t splash or slosh; it was more of a gentle ripple. Regardless of what type of movement I was performing, the water was controlled and never at risk of spilling.”

In the partner test, Riley laid on the bed while another test moved around on the other side.
The motion isolation was super-solid,” she reported. “I could feel the bed adjusting to the weight of another person and the cover moving, but I never felt like my body was being affected.” Based on its performance, we feel comfortable recommending the Nectar Premier Hybrid for anyone who needs a bed with strong motion isolation.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Responsiveness
On the flip side of motion isolation is responsiveness, which describes how quickly materials in a mattress return to their original shape once pressure is released. It’s an important feature for combination sleepers and fans of a traditionally bouncy feel. Memory foam, known for its slow sink, isn’t known for its performance in this category. That was evident in the Nectar Premier Hybrid, which earned 3.5 out of 5 based on three different tests.
Switch test: Riley started with a switch test to see how easy or hard it was to change between different positions on the bed. “The foam layers respond pretty slowly and don’t have much spring to them, so changing positions takes a bit of extra effort,” she noted. “It has that soft, doughy feel where you’re more enveloped by the mattress than resting on top of it.” Still, she found that the coils below did offer a touch of bounce that helped with movement.
Sinkage test: In the second test, Riley placed a 53-pound kettlebell on the bed and measured the depth of sinkage at 4.5 inches, which is well above the 3.7-inch average. It indicates pretty generous sinkage and a less responsive feel.

Bounce test: In the third test, Riley dropped a 25-pound ball onto the surface of the bed from six feet up. We used a yardstick on the wall to measure the height of the ball’s bounce — an eye-popping 34 inches! The average bounce for this test is 16.3 inches, so this is a reflection of the responsive foam layer and coils below the memory foam layer in this bed. We gave the bed a perfect score for this test.

Nectar Premier Hybrid Cooling
Body temperature fluctuates during sleep as a natural part of thermoregulation. But some materials can hold onto body heat, which makes it harder for the body to cool itself down. Memory foam is pretty notorious for trapping heat because it contours so closely to the body, while coils layers do a good job of promoting airflow. The Nectar Premier Hybrid has both memory foam and coils, and it performed just okay with 3.5 out of 5 after our tests.
Riley used a thermal gun to take the surface temperature of the bed before and after she laid on it for 5 minutes. The first reading was 65.7 degrees and the second was 74.5, an increase of 8.8 degrees. That puts it into the good cooling category, earning a score of 3.5.


Riley also assessed how she felt on the Premier Hybrid. “The cover feels really soft and a little cool at first touch, but it’s not an intense cooling sensation,” she reported. “As I settled in, I warmed up a bit, but never to the point where I felt hot or uncomfortable.” She added that most people should sleep at a comfortable temperature on this mattress, though very hot sleepers might prefer something with stronger cooling features, like a more advanced cooling cover.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Edge Support
Edge support is a reference to the level of stability along the sides or the entire perimeter of the bed. Couples looking to maximize usable sleep space benefit from strong edges because it gives them room to spread out without feeling like they might roll off the bed. Adults who have any mobility concerns also find strong edges make it easier to get in and out of bed. Dr. Dasgupta says strong edges can be a good indication of overall mattress durability, so we think it’s a worthwhile consideration for everyone. Hybrid beds tend to perform well in this category because of the coil layer, but the Nectar Premier Hybrid came up a little short with 3.8 out of 5.
Riley performed both a seated and a lying-down test to assess edge support. “When I sat on the edge, I noticed a deep initial sink into the soft top layers before the coil system stepped in to support me,” she said. “The springs definitely help keep you from fully collapsing and make it fairly easy to get in and out of bed, almost giving a little boost when standing up.” But she noted that the perimeter doesn’t feel solid enough to really lean into with confidence. While she wasn’t sliding off, she wouldn’t describe the edge as fully stable or supportive. Riley gave the Premier Hybrid 3 out of 5 for this test.

Lying down on the edge of a mattress redistributes body weight, which can mean a higher edge support score. That was the case here. “I felt noticeably more stable once I lay down close to the edge,” said Riley. “While the plush comfort layers still allowed some sinkage, it felt evenly distributed rather than concentrated in one spot. When lying on my back, there was a mild incline toward the perimeter, but it wasn’t pronounced enough to feel unsafe or disruptive to sleep.” She awarded the bed 4 out of 5 for this test, so it’s a good option for couples who need more space to sleep. But we’d caution those with mobility issues to consider a bed with more stability along the side when seated.

In the third edge support test, Riley used three stacks of weighted plates representing different weight classes (99 pounds, 154 pounds, and 198 pounds). Then she used a ruler to measure sinkage on the side of the bed. From lightest to heaviest, the Nectar Premier Hybrid sank 2.5, 4, and 6 inches, earning scores of 5, 4 and 3.
Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples
Sharing a bed with someone else means that certain performance categories matter more than others. We’ve already discussed the importance of motion isolation for couples, but a bed’s responsiveness and cooling ability are also relevant. A quick response time is more accommodating for sex, and two bodies generate more heat than one. The Nectar Premier Hybrid scored very well in motion isolation and decently in our response and cooling tests, and we think most couples will find it keeps them equally comfortable.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
Beyond the performance metrics above, we test all of the mattresses we review in a few extra categories. It contributes to a better sense overall of a particular mattress.
Sex
A good mattress for sex usually has a combination of features that make it easy to move around, keep you secure wherever your sexual activities take you on the bed, and keep any distracting sounds to a minimum. The Nectar Premier Hybrid earned 4.1 out of 5 based on its performance in our response, edge support, and noise tests, so we think it’s a good bed for sex.
Noise
While coils mean a mattress has the potential for squeaks and creaks, especially over time, the Nectar Premier Hybrid didn’t make a sound during our tests. No matter how much rolling, jumping, or pressing Riley did, she reported that it didn’t make a sound.
Base Compatibility
We put all of the beds we test on an adjustable base to check compatibility, and the Nectar Premier Hybrid did surprisingly well. The 13-inch hybrid has the flexibility to bend with the base in different positions without bunching or excessive gapping, earning 5 out of 5.
Durability
In lieu of a crystal ball, we base our durability score on the average scores from our edge support and warranty scores, along with the bed’s materials. High-quality materials like dense foams and reinforced coils are less likely to deteriorate quickly, while strong edges contribute to the bed’s structure overall. The mattress warranty can also be a clue into the expected lifespan from the company’s perspective.
Based on the performance, materials, construction, and limited lifetime warranty for the Nectar Premier Hybrid, it’s reasonable to expect it to perform well for 7 to 10 years.

Nectar Premier Hybrid Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Body weight and sleep style are two of the biggest influencers in how a bed feels. It’s why we strive to include feedback from testers in different weight classes. And when we can’t, we provide insights into what lighter or heavier sleepers can expect.
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average-weight sleepers and sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers likely need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Nectar Premier Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – We think this hybrid is an excellent fit for lightweight back sleepers, with a classic medium-firm feel — enough plushness to comfortably fill in the lumbar area and plenty of support to maintain a straight spine.
- Light Side Sleepers – The softness of the Nectar Premier Hybrid is a great match for these sleepers as well, ensuring ample cushioning around hips and shoulders.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – This group should be perfectly comfortable on the medium-firm Nectar Premier Hybrid, with enough support for proper hip elevation.

Is the Nectar Premier Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – Some sleepers in this group may find the bed feels a touch softer than medium-firm, but the combination of supportive coils and pressure-relieving foams should work well.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – We think this group might also find the bed a little softer, but that works well for side sleepers.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – These sleepers are probably going to find that the softness here allows hips to dip a little too far, so we’d recommend a firmer bed.
Is the Nectar Premier Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – More weight on this bed is going to contribute to an even softer feel. That might work for some heavy back sleepers who are closer to 230 pounds, but those with higher weights should consider a mattress for heavy sleepers.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – We don’t recommend this bed for heavy side sleepers, who are likely going to sink in too far to maintain a straight spine.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – We don’t recommend this bed for heavy stomach sleepers. It lacks the support they’ll need to keep the hips elevated, which will pull the spine out of alignment and contribute to low back pain.

Nectar Premier Hybrid vs. Competitor
We’ve done a very deep dive into the Nectar Premier Hybrid, so let’s see how it fares in a side-by-side comparison to models from other brands.
Nectar Premier Hybrid vs DreamCloud Classic Hybrid
Both of these beds have a hybrid construction that pairs foam layers with coils. We also rated them both as medium-firm with 6.5/10.
- Price: A queen-size DreamCloud Classic Hybrid is phenomenally priced at $699 and has the same 365-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty. It’s clearly the more economical of the two mattresses.
- Sleeping position: During testing, we found the medium-firm DreamCloud to be well suited for back sleeping, and its quick response time makes it ideal for combination sleepers as well. We’d steer most side sleepers to the more classically contouring Nectar.
- Cooling: The DreamCloud outperformed the Nectar Premier Hybrid with a 4.5 out of 5 rating, so it’s the better choice for hot sleepers.
- Body weight: Neither bed is a great option for most sleepers with more weight. We’d advise sleepers over 230 pounds to consider a bed that’s specifically engineered for more support.

Nectar Premier Hybrid vs Helix Midnight
The Helix Midnight is one of the brand’s flagship models, designed primarily for side sleeper comfort. It’s slightly shorter than the 13-inch Nectar Premier Hybrid at 11.5 inches, with an optional pillow top upgrade that adds another inch.
- Price: Before discounts, the Midnight is close to $1,748. It also has a much shorter sleep trial at 120 nights.
- Sleeping position: We rated both beds 6.5/10 on the firmness scale and we think both are good choices for back sleepers.
- Cooling: Both beds earned the same 3.5 out of 5 for cooling. Sleepers who aren’t routinely waking up hot and sweaty should be fine, but very hot sleepers are going to be better served with a cooling mattress.
- Body weight: While the Nectar Premier could accommodate some heavier back sleepers, we wouldn’t recommend the Helix Midnight to this group.

Nectar Premier Hybrid vs Nolah Evolution
The Nolah Evolution is the brand’s bestselling model — a 15-inch hybrid with a Euro pillow top. It’s available in three firmness levels to meet different needs.
- Price: The Evolution has a lot of premium upgrades that are reflected in the price. Without the cooling pillow top upgrade, a queen is priced at $2,277 before discounts. Regular sales bring that cost down considerably, but it’s still several hundred dollars more than the Nectar.
- Sleeping position: Sleepers can choose the firmness that accommodates their preferred position if they opt for the Nolah model, while the Nectar is a good match for most back and side sleepers.
- Cooling: The Evolution earned 4.5 out of 5 for its cooling ability, so sleepers who need to manage overheating at night will do better with this model compared to the Premier Hybrid.
- Body weight: The firm Evolution model should accommodate heavy back and side sleepers, but we wouldn’t recommend it for heavy stomach sleepers.

Other Models from Nectar
If you like Nectar as a brand, there are other models worth considering.
Nectar Premier Hybrid vs Nectar Classic
The Nectar Classic is a base model, but don’t let that fool you. This all-foam model is one of Nectar’s most popular models.
- Price: As an entry-level mattress, the 12-inch Classic is really affordable. A queen size is $649 compared to around $1,100 for the Premier Hybrid.
- Sleeping position: We liked the medium-firm feel of the Classic for back sleepers and light and average-weight stomach sleepers. Side sleepers should fare a little better on the Premier Hybrid.
- Cooling: Surprisingly, the Nectar Classic scored very well in cooling at 4.5 out of 5. Despite its all-foam construction, it’s the better choice for hot sleepers.
- Body weight. Both models could work for some heavier back sleepers, but we’d steer heavier stomach sleepers to beds with more support.

Nectar Premier Hybrid vs Nectar Luxe Hybrid
The Nectar Luxe Hybrid builds on the Premier Hybrid. It’s taller at 14 inches with more cooling power and pressure relief, according to the brand.
- Price: The upgraded Luxe Hybrid is more expensive than the Premier Hybrid, with a queen priced at $1,549. But it is considered a luxury bed.
- Sleeping position: We rated the Luxe Hybrid a 5.5/10 for firmness, which makes it quite soft. It works very well for side sleeping, especially those who like a softer feel.
- Cooling: In spite of the brand’s claims about more cooling power on the Luxe Hybrid, both beds performed the same in this category with 3.5 out of 5. Those who don’t typically overheat should be fine on either bed, but very hot sleepers should consider something else.
- Body weight: Because it’s so soft, we don’t think the Nectar Luxe Hybrid is compatible with heavier sleepers.

Nectar Premier Hybrid vs Nectar Ultra Memory Foam
The Nectar Ultra is the brand’s most luxurious mattress. It’s a whopping 15 inches tall and stuffed with premium features for cooler, more pressure-relieving comfort.
- Price: it may be a premium mattress, but the Ultra doesn’t have a premium price tag. A queen is $1,799 for the memory foam model, but the hybrid is considerably more expensive at $2,099.
- Sleeping position: We tested the memory foam Ultra and found it quite soft at 6 out of 10. Like the Premier Hybrid, we think it’s a good fit for back and side sleepers.
- Cooling: The Ultra earned a full 5 out of 5 for its cooling ability, thanks to its cooling cover and phase change material. Hot sleepers should find relief on this bed.
- Body weight: Because of its size, we think heavier back and side sleepers should be comfortable on the Ultra. But we wouldn’t recommend either bed for stomach sleepers over 230 pounds. There probably isn’t enough support for the hips.

FAQs
What is the sleep trial period, returns, and warranty information for the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress?
The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress ships free and will be delivered to your door compressed in a box. It comes with a 365-night sleep trial period. If you don’t like it, you can return it for free and get a full refund. If you keep it, you have a lifetime warranty, or forever warranty.
What’s the difference between the Nectar Premier Hybrid and the Nectar Premier mattresses?
The Nectar Premier Hybrid uses a combination of foams and coils, while the Nectar Premier is an all-foam mattress. Because of the springs inside, the hybrid is bouncier and I think it has a slightly firmer feel compared to the all-foam version.
Does the Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress need to be flipped?
The Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress does not need to be flipped. Instead, I recommend rotating the mattress 180 degrees once or twice a year to increase its lifespan instead.
Are the foams in the Nectar mattress CertiPUR-US® Certified?
Yes, Nectar says all the foams meet CertiPUR-US® standards for content, emissions, and durability. Nectar’s foams are free of ozone depleters, TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates. The company says its foams have also shown low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality.
Does the Nectar Premier Hybrid need a certain bed frame?
Nectar Sleep says any foundation will work with a Nectar mattress, whether it’s a traditional frame or an adjustable base. “That being said, many of our users prefer to have a box spring for the additional elevation it provides,” says the brand.
